Trial summary

This study is conducted to compare Koning Breast CT (KBCT) to mammography to evaluate if KBCT can improve the diagnostic accuracy of breast cancer. It will also compare contrast-enhanced KBCT (CE-KBCT) to mammography to evaluate if CE-KBCT can further improve the diagnostic accuracy of breast cancer. Read more about this study

What participants receive

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

  • Contrast-enhanced KBCTDevice

    Contrast-enhanced KBCT includes pre-contrast KBCT scan and post-contrast KBCT scan. After the pre contrast scan is completed, a bolus injection of a low osmolar, nonionic, iodinated 300mg of iodine per mL contrast agent, will be injected at a rate of approximately 2.0 mL/s, for a total injection time of approximately 30-60 seconds. 30-60 seconds after the contrast injection, the post-contrast scan will be acquired.

Study groups in NCT01792999
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Non-contrast KBCTNo interventionAbout 187 subjects, who had diagnostic imaging of the breast including mammography and were categorized as Breast Imaging-Reporting and Data System(BIRADS) scores 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5, received KBCT imaging without contrast injection.
Contrast-enhanced KBCTExperimentalAbout 231 subjects, who had diagnostic imaging of the breast including mammography and were scheduled for biopsy or surgery, received contrast-enhanced KBCT imaging of the affected breast before biopsy or surgery.
Receives: Device: Contrast-enhanced KBCT

What is being measured

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

  1. Efficacy of KBCT, CE-KBCT and Mammography

    Efficacy of KBCT, CE-KBCT and Mammography will be assessed based on the sensitivity for detecting breast cancer and the specificity for correctly categorizing non-cancer.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Safety of KBCT, CE-KBCT and Mammography

    All enrolled and scanned patients will be included in the safety analysis. Anticipated and unanticipated adverse events will be tabulated according to severity and relation to device.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Contrast-enhanced KBCT in people with Breast Cancer, run by Koning (Tianjin) Medical Equipment Co., Ltd at 2 sites in China.

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 8 inclusion and 24 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 7 Mar 2018. 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 China. 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 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?

Efficacy of KBCT, CE-KBCT and Mammography (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 7 Mar 2018.
