About this study

Official title: Clinical Study to Evaluate Diagnostic Accuracy of Low Dose Contrast Enhanced Dual Energy Mammography Imaging in Comparison to CE-MRI

Clinical study to evaluate diagnostic accuracy of low dose contrast enhanced dual energy mammography imaging (CEDEM+PRIME) in comparison with CE-MRI The primary objective of this clinical study is to assess diagnostic accuracy in breast cancer detection in Contrast Enhanced Dual Energy Mammography compared to CEMRI. Sensitivity and specificity will be compared for both modalities.

Read the detailed description

STUDY OBJECTIVES The primary objective of this clinical study is to assess the value of low-dose CEDEM in comparison with CE-MRI. The diagnostic accuracy in breast cancer detection of low dose CEDEM will be evaluated.

Investigator plans to explore the diagnostic quality of 4 standard view bilateral dual energy subtracted images compared to CE-MRI in a blinded reader study. A goal is to evaluate, whether sensitivity and specificity of low-dose CEDEM are comparable with breast MRI.

Subjects will be asked before diagnostic workup to participate in this clinical study. Approximately 80 subjects scheduled for a diagnostic CE-MRI (i.e., based on screening mammography classified as BI-RADS® 0, 4 or 5), will be eligible to participate in this study and will undergo a follow up 4 view bilateral low dose contrast enhanced mammography procedure.

Radiologically, subjects included in the study population will have even distribution of masses, clusters of microcalcifications, and architectural distortions as given by the nature of breast cancer development.

The study population will include all breast compositions. Diagnostic CE-MRI Examination If eligible, subjects with a positive or incomplete screening mammogram (BI-RADS 0, 4 or 5) will undergo a CE-MRI of the breast. MRI examinations will be performed on a 3 Tesla scanner (Tim trio, Siemens) with a dedicated 16 channel breast coil. A combination of high temporal and high spatial resolution imaging protocol will be used. All patients will be examined in the prone position and contrast agent (0.2mmol / body weight, GD-DOTA) will be administered i.v. as a bolus followed by a 20 ml saline flush.

Both exams (CEDEM and CE-MRI) will be scheduled in the second week of the menstrual cycle in premenopausal women. Each suspicious lesion will undergo needle or surgical biopsy (after completion of the CEDEM+PRIME procedure). Imaging findings will be compared with findings of histology.

Diagnostic CEDEM+PRIME If eligible, subjects with a completed MRI procedure will undergo a 4 standard view (CC, MLO) bilateral CEDEM examination. Due to use of the grid-less PRIME acquisition technology the AGD is limited and lies in the range of a standard mammogram. The high energy images will be acquired with the titanium filter. All acquired images - including the unprocessed images - will be collected. Recombined CEDEM images will be created offline. Contrast agent is injected as a bolus of 2 ml/kg body weight of non-ionic iodine contrast media with a power injector at a rate of 3.5ml/s followed by a 25ml saline flush.

The CEDEM diagnostic procedure will be performed not later than 7 days and at least 24 hours after the CE-MRI procedure.

What participants receive

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

  • CONTRAST ENHANCED DUAL ENERGY (CEDEM)Device

    The CEDEM application requires the intravenous injection of iodide contrast agents. For each projection view (CC, MLO) a low and a high energy x-ray image will be acquired after Iodine based contrast medium administration. Patient will undergo CE MRI procedure.

What is being measured

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

  1. Diagnostic accuracy of contrast enhanced dual energy mammography for breast cancer diagnosis

    Difference in accuracy of 11% comparing a 4-view contrast-enhanced dual energy imaging to CE-MRI assuming 11% discordant rate in the diagnosis

    Measured: 24 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. sensitivity, specificity and the lesion-level ROC area.

    The ROC area will be estimated from the BI-RADSS scores assigned by the readers to each suspicious lesion. The BI-RADS scores assigned by the readers in the interpretation of a CEDEM lesion will be used for the CEDEM+PRIME ROC area; the BI-RADS scores assigned by the readers in the interpretation of a CE-MRI case per lesion will be used for the CE-MRI ROC area. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC), or ROC curve, is a graphical plot that illustrates the performance of a binary classifier system as its discrimination threshold is varied. The curve is created by plotting the true positive rate (TPR) against the false positive rate (FPR) at various threshold settings

    Measured: 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing CONTRAST ENHANCED DUAL ENERGY (CEDEM) in people with Breast Cancer Diagnosis, run by Siemens Healthcare QT at 1 site in Austria.

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 3 inclusion and 7 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 11 Aug 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 Austria. 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?

Diagnostic accuracy of contrast enhanced dual energy mammography for breast cancer diagnosis (time frame: 24 months). 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 11 Aug 2017.
