  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Women considered at increased risk for developing breast carcinoma (those with a lifetime risk of >15%due to family history, genetic predisposition, prior radiation therapy to the chest, prior biopsy showing a high risk lesion, or personal history of breast cancer) that are being screened with breast MRI.
  • Women who have a screening digital mammogram on the day of CESM or within 365 days prior

Who cannot join

  • Women under 21.
  • Pregnant or possibly pregnant.
  • Women who have a contraindication to the intravenous use of iodinated - contrast agent (i.e., allergy to iodinated contrastor severely impaired renal function with a creatinine level > or = to 1.3).
  • Women with breast implants.

What participants receive

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

  • Mammography (CESM) and MRIOther

    The study consists of the addition of a single contrast enhanced digital mammography examination (CESM) to the routine screening of a woman at increased risk for breast cancer who is also having a breast MRI. Breast MRIs will be read by the radiologist reading breast MRIs on any given day. CESM is a dedicated system, derived from a standard digital mammography unit modified to deliver the dual or multiple energy exposures and visualization of combined images after IV contrast administration. If the patient is having her routine mammogram within 30 days of her MRI, CESM can replace that mammogram Patients will be randomly assigned to one of the radiologists trained to interpret CESM. That radiologist will read the CESM blinded to the results of the breast MRI.This process will be monitored by the research assistant No radiologist will read both the breast MRI and CESM on the same patient.

Study groups in NCT01716247
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
pts at risk for breast cancerExperimentalWomen at increased risk for breast cancer who are being referred for screening MRI will be offered and consented for CESM at the same time. The 2 examinations will be performed on the same day when at all possible and if not we will make every attempt to perform CESM before MRI. Patients with outside MRI performed within 30 days and of adequate quality will also be eligible for CESM.
Receives: Other: Mammography (CESM) and MRI

What is being measured

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

  1. compare the sensitivity and specificity CESM

    CESM to that of breast MRI in a population of women who are being screened because they are at increased risk for developing breast cancer. For this purpose a positive CESM test will be defined as a score of 4 or 5. We will use the existing MRI BIRADS system to score CESM images based on the characteristics of individual lesions and increased enhancement compared to the background. A positive MRI test will be defined by a BIRADs score of 4 or 5.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Mammography (CESM) and MRI in people with Women at Increased Risk for Developing Breast Carcinoma, 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 2 inclusion and 7 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 19 Jun 2018. 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?

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?

compare the sensitivity and specificity CESM (time frame: 1 year). 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 19 Jun 2018.
