What participants receive

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

  • Molecular Breast ImagingProcedure or surgery

    Molecular Breast Imaging (MBI) utilizes small high resolution gamma camera detectors in a dual-detector configuration to image the breast following the administration of a radiopharmaceutical that accumulates preferentially in breast tumors.

What is being measured

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

  1. Molecular Breast Imaging (MBI) scan

    The Year 0 MBI will be interpreted in isolation, with the radiologist blinded to Year 0 mammogram results and all relevant clinical information.

    Measured: Performed at Year 0 of study

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Molecular Breast Imaging (MBI) scan

    The Year 2 MBI will be interpreted in comparison with the Year 0 MBI but in isolation from the Year 2 mammogram.

    Measured: Performed at Year 2 of study

Timeline

From the start of the study to its completion; the mark is today. Estimated dates are the sponsor’s plan.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Molecular Breast Imaging in people with Breast Cancer, run by Mayo Clinic 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 1 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 21 Sep 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 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 was stopped early (reason given: Dose specified in protocol was not adequate to achieve optimal resolution.). 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?

Molecular Breast Imaging (MBI) scan (time frame: Performed at Year 0 of study). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01723124, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 21 Sep 2016.
