Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the use of intra-operative Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Mass Spectrometry (MS) during breast conserving surgery, and to determine if these tests are capable of accurately predicting the presence or absence of breast tumor in surgical specimens at the margins.

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 75 years
  • Women only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patients must be female
  • Participants must have a pre-operative standard mammogram with or without ultrasound. These may be performed at outside institutions.
  • Participants must have biopsy confirmed and clinical stage 1 or stage 2 breast carcinoma. If biopsy was done at an outside hospital, pathology will be reviewed at BWH/DFCI.
  • Participants must be candidates for definitive local therapy with breast conserving therapy (this takes into account tumor to breast size ratio appropriate for BCS, and the ability to undergo standard radiation therapy post-operatively).
  • Patient must meet standard MRI guidelines and be able and willing to undergo MRI
  • Age ≥18 years and < 75.
  • Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.

Who cannot join

  • Participants with a known BRCA 1 or 2 mutation.
  • Participants with known Li-Fraumeni or Cowden's Disease.
  • Participants with prior mantle radiation.
  • Participants with locally advanced breast cancer such as inflammatory breast cancer or cancer grossly involving skin.
  • Participants who are pregnant.
  • Participants who enroll in a preoperative therapy trial or who have been treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
Show all 11Show fewer
  • Participants with known active collagen vascular disease.
  • Participants with prior history of ipsilateral breast carcinoma.
  • Patients who have biopsy confirmed multi-centric disease.
  • Participants who have documented contra-indications for contrast-enhanced MRI, including but not limited to renal failure.
  • Participants who exceed the weight limit for the surgical table at AMIGO, 350 lbs or who will not fit into the 70 cm diameter bore of the MRI scanner at AMIGO or the 60 cm diameter bore of the pre-procedure imaging MRI scanner.

About this study

The purpose of this study is to investigate the use of intra-operative Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Mass Spectrometry (MS) during breast conserving surgery, and to determine if these tests are capable of accurately predicting the presence or absence of breast tumor in surgical specimens at the margins.

Read the detailed description

This research study is a Phase II clinical trial investigating the use of intra-operative MRI and MS in breast cancer surgery. Phase II clinical trials test the safety and effectiveness of an investigational intervention to learn whether the intervention works in treating a specific disease. "Investigational" means that the intervention is being studied.

Prior research has shown that intraoperative MRI and MS are two types of tests that are feasible to use during cancer surgery and may be able to guide therapy. In this study, we are evaluating the accuracy of intra-operative MRI and MS in determining whether or not all cancer tissue was removed during breast surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. To evaluate the accuracy of MRI in detecting tumor boundaries

    Measured: 2 Years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. To determine the operating characteristics (sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value and positive predictive value) of MRI in detecting tumor boundaries as confirmed with pathologic results

    Measured: 2 Years

  2. To evaluate the correlation of intraoperative mass spectrometry results to tumor boundaries as confirmed with pathologic results.

    Measured: 2 Years

  3. To develop novel image processing algorithms to detect remnant tumor from intraoperative DCE-MRI in presence of tissue edema and reduced perfusion

    Measured: 2 Years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Intra-operative Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Mass Spectrometer Analysis of Tissue Sample in people with Early Stage Breast Cancer and Breast Cancer Stage I, run by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute at 2 sites 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 7 inclusion and 11 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 28 Feb 2023. 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 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?

To evaluate the accuracy of MRI in detecting tumor boundaries (time frame: 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 28 Feb 2023.
