Trial summary

Positron Emission Mammography (PEM) is a newly developed imaging examination of the breast that uses a radioactive glucose based tracer, which is a form of sugar attached to a low radiation agent, to detect cancer cells. The radioactive glucose based tracer is called fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG), and it is FDA approved. Read more about this study

About this study

Positron Emission Mammography (PEM) is a newly developed imaging examination of the breast that uses a radioactive glucose based tracer, which is a form of sugar attached to a low radiation agent, to detect cancer cells. The radioactive glucose based tracer is called fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG), and it is FDA approved. A PEM scanner is able to better detect cancer cells within the breast, more than a regular PET scanner. The PEM scanner is also FDA approved. This type of imaging may be able to see the breast cancer before it could be seen with mammograms and may be as good as or better than breast MRI.

The purpose of this study is to compare the value of FDG Positron Emission Mammography (PEM) with contrast enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the breast for patients with breast cancer. This study will also perform special pathology test to compare the FDG PEM and contrast enhanced breast MRI images with the results from the standard of care breast surgery. This may teach us more about the biology of each breast tumor.

What participants receive

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

  • Positron Emission Mammography (PEM) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)Device

    An additional 5 women will be enrolled at the beginning of the study for training purposes only and will not be included in the assessment of this study. Once the patient has had both breast MRI and PEM, the location of each site of potential breast cancer will be listed for each modality. The location of each abnormality on each imaging examination will be documented. Once the histopathologic evaluation has been performed, the pathology results will be compared to the imaging results for each modality. Furthermore, comparison of the performance of MRI and PEM will then be made with the pathological results as the truth. Comparison of the histology and biomarkers in each lesion detected by each modality will be done in order to determine if these factors affect detection by each modality.

Study groups in NCT01249157
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
MRI and PEM scansExperimentalAll consenting patients who are to have staging breast MRI, will be offered 18FDG PEM (Positron Emission Mammography) within 30 days. If the patient had a previous breast MRI that was done within 30 days at an outside institution, this MRI can be used if a radiologist determines that it is an adequate study. The surgery date will not be affected by the additional PEM evaluation. All imaging will be done and reviewed by MSKCC breast imagers. MRI and PEM findings suggestive of malignancy will be prospectively recorded in both the ipsilateral and contralateral breast.

What is being measured

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

  1. To Evaluate the Accuracy of Preoperative 18FDG PEM

    using pathology as the gold standard and descriptively compare it to the accuracy of breast MRI in an exploratory analysis which will generate data for future studies. The first 5 patients who consent to the study were used for training purposes only.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Positron Emission Mammography (PEM) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in people with Breast Cancer, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.

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 5 inclusion and 6 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 24 Dec 2015. 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 States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 24 Dec 2015). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

To Evaluate the Accuracy of Preoperative 18FDG PEM (time frame: 2 years). 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 24 Dec 2015.
