  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: In Group I, up to 100 women, at least 40 years of age, who have had a routine standard mammogram read as BI-RADS® 0, 1, 2, or 3 will also undergo 3D breast imaging using a cone beam CT scanner specifically designed to image the breast. Group II includes forty (40) women, who have had abnormalities detected by physical exam or an imaging modality and are also scheduled for breast biopsy of the index lesion, will also undergo a CBCT of the breast(s), prior to biopsy.

Who may be able to join

  • Are at least 40 years of age of any ethnicity
  • Had a routine mammogram, read as BI-RADS® 0, 1, 2 or 3
  • Will undergo study imaging no later than six months from date of routine mammogram.
  • Is able to undergo informed consent.
  • Women who are at least 40 years of age of any ethnicity
  • Have a palpable abnormality detected by Breast Self Exam (BSE), or Clinical Breast Exam (CBE) or have a non-palpable abnormality detected by an imaging modality

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Normal GroupIn Group I, up to 100 women, at least 40 years of age, who have had a routine standard mammogram read as BI-RADS® 0, 1, 2, or 3 will also undergo 3D breast imaging using a cone beam CT scanner specifically designed to image the breast. Of these 100, we hope to enroll at least 30 subjects with mammograms read as BI-RADS® 0 and at least 30 read as BI-RADS® 3. The BI-RADS® 0 category refers to patients for whom additional imaging is required after a screening mammogram provided incomplete diagnostic information.
Diagnostic GroupThe goals of Group II will be to compare the CBCT study with standard imaging for the diagnosis of breast disease in palpable or non-palpable breast lesions (having a BI-RADS® score of 4 or 5). Forty (40) women, who have had abnormalities detected by physical exam or an imaging modality and are also scheduled for breast biopsy of the index lesion, will also undergo a CBCT of the breast(s), prior to biopsy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Image Quality of Cone Beam Breast CT

    This study was to evaluate the radiation dose, breast coverage, and image quality of cone-beam breast CT compared with a conventional mammographic examination.

    Measured: 6 years

The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 27 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 2013. 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?

Image Quality of Cone Beam Breast CT (time frame: 6 years). 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 NCT01880580, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 2013.
