About this study

Official title: Randomized Trail of Breast MRI for Newly Diagnosed Early Stage Breast Cancer: Impact on Re-excision Lumpectomy

This study is being done to find out the number of surgical procedures required to achieve clear margins in women with newly diagnosed early stage breast carcinoma. The investigators are also looking at the number of additional biopsies performed before surgery, the mastectomy rate, detection of breast cancer on the opposite side (contralateral carcinoma), time form diagnosis to local therapy, and evaluation time to local recurrence.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective pragmatic trial randomizing women diagnosed with early stage breast cancer to MRI versus no breast MRI. Data analyzed will include medical record information abstracted from the clinical records. Date and modality of all imaging performed, malignancy(s) identified, abnormalities identified, image guided procedures performed, surgical procedures performed and pathology results.

The primary aim of this study is to assess if the use of pre-operative MRI can reduce the incidence of re-excisions required to achieve clear margins in women with newly diagnosed early stage breast carcinoma.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing MRI in people with Breast Cancer, run by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute at 3 sites 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 3 inclusion and 9 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 2 Aug 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Slow Accural). 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?

Assess if pre-operative MRI reduces incidence of re-excisions required (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 2 Aug 2016.
