Trial summary

Study Rationale: an accurate breast cancer staging has a great impact in the management of a breast cancer. MRI is considered as the most sensible exam for this staging. However it has a low specificity and it may result in extra testing and stress for the patient, add to costs, and delay treatment. Read more about this study

About this study

Study Rationale: an accurate breast cancer staging has a great impact in the management of a breast cancer. MRI is considered as the most sensible exam for this staging. However it has a low specificity and it may result in extra testing and stress for the patient, add to costs, and delay treatment. By contrast, Tomosynthesis is performed during the same time than mammography and has a good specificity. Although this modality is very promising, it has not been assessed in a population of consecutive patients.

Study objectives: To compare the diagnostic performance of preoperative bilateral Combo mode (MG+Tomosynthesis) versus mammography among women with breast cancer for the detection of additional multifocal, multicentric, and contralateral cancers.

What is being measured

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

  1. diagnostic performance of preoperative bilateral Combo mode (MG+Tomosynthesis) versus mammography among women with breast cancer for the detection of additional multifocal, multicentric, and contralateral cancers.

    In all sites, Mammography and Tomosynthesis will be standardised and performed according to the Combo mode with 2 views for each breast.

    Any additional breast lesion assigned a BI-RAD 4 or 5 score after the full staging work-up will be biopsied under the best imaging method.

    (BIRADS scale : BIRADS 4a or higher is considered to be positive for cancer )

    The Gold Standard diagnosis is defined as the final diagnosis at 1 year on the basis of the most severe histopathologic result (surgery, biopsy) for that lesion.

    A retrospective imaging evaluation of mammography versus Combo mode will be performed for the patients diagnosed with a breast cancer lesion. This retrospective imaging evaluation will be conducted centrally within the assessment committee at the lesion, breast and patient level.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. performance of MG vs Combo (MG+Tomosynthesis) for the diagnosis of multicentricity

    Concerning breasts lesions : assessing multicentricity by MG and Combo for the presence of one BI-RADS 4-5 lesions, presence of multifocal BI-RADS 4-5 lesions presence of multicentric BI-RADS 4-5 lesions

    A retrospective imaging evaluation of mammography versus Combo mode will be performed for the patients diagnosed with a breast cancer lesion. This retrospective imaging evaluation will be conducted centrally within the assessment committee at the lesion.

    Measured: 1 year

  2. performance of MG vs Combo (MG+Tomosynthesis) for the diagnosis of multifocality

    concerning Breasts lesions : assessing multifocality by MG and Combo for the presence of one BI-RADS 4-5 lesions, presence of multifocal BI-RADS 4-5 lesions presence of multicentric BI-RADS 4-5 lesions

    A retrospective imaging evaluation of mammography versus Combo mode will be performed for the patients diagnosed with a breast cancer lesion. This retrospective imaging evaluation will be conducted centrally within the assessment committee at the lesion, breast and patient level.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Bilateral mammography with Tomosynthesis in people with Breast Cancer, run by University Hospital, Montpellier at 6 sites in France.

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 8 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 29 May 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in France. 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. 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?

diagnostic performance of preoperative bilateral Combo mode (MG+Tomosynthesis) versus mammography among women with breast cancer for the detection of additional multifocal, multicentric, and contralateral cancers. (time frame: 1 year). 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 NCT01881880, 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 29 May 2024.
