Trial summary

The objective of this study is to evaluate the usefulness of Tc-99m Sestamibi Molecular Breast Imaging as an imaging modality for breast cancer screening. Tc-MBI has shown significantly higher sensitivity and equivalent specificity in the detection of breast cancer among high risk women when compared to mammography. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Performance of Tc99m Sestamibi Molecular Breast Imaging (Tc-MBI) Versus Magnetic Resonance Imaging in the Diagnosis of Breast Carcinoma: A Pilot Study

The objective of this study is to evaluate the usefulness of Tc-99m Sestamibi Molecular Breast Imaging as an imaging modality for breast cancer screening.

Tc-MBI has shown significantly higher sensitivity and equivalent specificity in the detection of breast cancer among high risk women when compared to mammography. However, there is little published data comparing Tc-MBI to MRI for evaluating extent of disease in women with known breast cancer.

The study will target twenty (20) women with newly diagnosed breast cancer who are scheduled to undergo biopsy of additional suspicious lesions that were identified on standard of care contrast- enhanced breast MRI. Prior to the biopsy, these subjects will receive a Tc-MBI scan of the breast. The results from both imaging methods will be compared to histological findings. These results may be used to design larger and more comprehensive studies with an overarching goal to determine if there is a role for Tc-MBI in the pre-operative evaluation of patients with known breast cancer.

What participants receive

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

  • Sestamibi (Tc-MBI) scan of the breastOther

    Patients will be given 8mCi of Sestamibi intravenously. following which Sestamibi scan will be performed on the breast. Sestamibi scan will be done prior to any surgical procedure..

What is being measured

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

  1. Cancer detection rates by Sestambi imaging

    This study will determine whether Tc-MBI is useful in the pre-operative evaluation of patients with known breast cancer. Patients will be tracked for 2 years to see if histological evidence is found to confirm Tc-MBI findings

    Measured: Up to 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Sestamibi (Tc-MBI) scan of the breast in people with Breast Cancer, run by Emory University 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 1 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 6 Feb 2015. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 was stopped early (reason given: Study terminated by the Sponsor due to slow enrollment). 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?

Cancer detection rates by Sestambi imaging (time frame: Up to 2 years). 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 6 Feb 2015.
