About this study

Official title: High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) to Treat Breast Fibroadenoma: a Feasibility Study. A Multicentric, Open, Uncontrolled Study

This study is a multicentre, open, uncontrolled trial for the observation of histological changes in breast fibroadenoma following high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU).

This study will be conducted in France in 20 patients with breast fibroadenoma with indication for a surgical resection. The patient will receive an HIFU treatment and 6 months after treatment, the need of the surgery is evaluated.

What is being measured

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

  1. HIFU induced tissue necrosis assessed by histology of excised gland or reduction volume of fibroadenoma

    Measured: 6 months after HIFU treatment

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Volume reduction of the fibroadenoma

    reduction in volume at 2, 4, 6 and 12 months after HIFU session or total regression of the fibroadenoma evaluated with ultrasound just before surgery

    Measured: 12 months after HIFU treatment

  2. - Pain score during the HIFU treatment evaluated by the Visual Analog Scale.

    Measured: at treatment

  3. Percentage of patients with Adverse events

    Measured: at 12 months follow-up

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Ultrasonic ablation device in people with Breast Fibroadenoma, run by Theraclion at 2 sites in France.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Apr 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in France. 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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

HIFU induced tissue necrosis assessed by histology of excised gland or reduction volume of fibroadenoma (time frame: 6 months after HIFU treatment). 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 9 Apr 2014.
