About this study

Official title: Comparison of Preoperative Automated Breast Ultrasound (ABUS) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in Newly Diagnosed Breast Cancer Patients

Comparison of Preoperative Automated Breast Ultrasound (ABUS) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in Newly Diagnosed Breast Cancer Patients.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective pilot study investigating the use of Automated Breast Ultrasound in the preoperative evaluation of newly diagnosed breast cancer patients. The Investigator intends to demonstrate that preoperative automated breast ultrasound (ABUS) will provide a relatively inexpensive and well-tolerated alternative to MRI for detection of occult breast cancer missed by mammography and hand-held ultrasound in women with newly diagnosed breast cancer. The research will take place at the University of Kansas Medical Center (KUMC). The research study will be open to newly diagnosed breast cancer patients who present to KUMC with a recommendation for preoperative MRI and who fit all inclusion criteria and have none of the exclusion criteria.

What is being measured

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

  1. Measure rate of detection of occult breast cancer by ABUS that was not detected by standard imaging

    Rate of detection of occult breast cancer by ABUS, otherwise missed by standard imaging (MRI or mammogram with hand-held breast ultrasound as clinically indicated).

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing ABUS in people with Breast Cancer, run by University of Kansas Medical Center 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 6 inclusion and 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Jan 2017. 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?

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?

Measure rate of detection of occult breast cancer by ABUS that was not detected by standard imaging (time frame: 1 day). 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 19 Jan 2017.
