Trial summary

This is a pilot study comparing the appearance and volume of the post surgical region in the intact breast, as determined by 3 modalities: computed Xray tomography (CT), 3 Dimensional ultrasound (USS), Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) after breast conserving surgery and during whole breast irradiation.

About this study

Official title: The Tumour Bed as Target for Breast Irradiation Following Breast Conserving Surgery

This is a pilot study comparing the appearance and volume of the post surgical region in the intact breast, as determined by 3 modalities: computed Xray tomography (CT), 3 Dimensional ultrasound (USS), Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) after breast conserving surgery and during whole breast irradiation.

Read the detailed description

Consenting patients who have undergone breast conserving surgery and who are planned to receive radiotherapy will have their first MRI and CT scan within 2 weeks of treatment planning. This will be followed by 3 weeks radiotherapy treatment. 3D ultrasound scans will be performed in the first 2 weeks before radiotherapy, during the 2nd and 3rd weeks of radiotherapy and in the 2 weeks following radiotherapy.Following the radiotherapy patients will undergo both CT and MRI scans within 2 weeks of treatment completion.The whole process should take approximately 10 weeks.In this study the CT scans, MRI scan + USS are above standard care and are the additional interventions in this study group.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • CT SCANProcedure or surgery

    Prior to radiotherapy + after radiotherapy completion

  • MRI scanProcedure or surgery

    Prior to radiotherapy + after completion of radiotherapy

  • 3D Ultrasound scanProcedure or surgery

    Prior to radiotherapy + after completion of radiotherapy

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Maximal dimensions of post operative complex will be obtained using the British Colombia Cancer Agency Seroma Clarity score scale.

    Each modality of investigation i.e. CT, MRI +USS will be evaluated using the Seroma clarity score scale to determine the most useful investigational tool.

    Measured: Within 3 months of radiotherapy completion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing CT SCAN, MRI scan and 3D Ultrasound scan in people with Breast Cancer, run by University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust at 1 site in United Kingdom.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Nov 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United Kingdom. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: MRI scanner de-commissioned and there was no suitable alternative.). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Maximal dimensions of post operative complex will be obtained using the British Colombia Cancer Agency Seroma Clarity score scale. (time frame: Within 3 months of radiotherapy completion). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Nov 2016.
