Trial summary

Women with dense breasts (BIRADS 3 or 4) with a BIRADS category 1 or 2 mammogram are asked to participate in a automated volume breast ultrasound scanner. The study evaluates prospectively the changes in recall rate, positive biopsy rate, cancer detection rate when BIRADS category 3 lesions are given a 1 year… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Automated Breast Ultrasound Screening in Women With Dense Breasts (BIRADS 3 or 4) and BIRADS Category 1 or 2 Mammogram Assigning BIRADS 3 Lesions to Yearly Follow-up

Women with dense breasts (BIRADS 3 or 4) with a BIRADS category 1 or 2 mammogram are asked to participate in a automated volume breast ultrasound scanner. The study evaluates prospectively the changes in recall rate, positive biopsy rate, cancer detection rate when BIRADS category 3 lesions are given a 1 year follow-up recommendation.

Read the detailed description

Women with dense breasts (BIRADS 3 or 4) with a BIRADS category 1 or 2 mammogram are asked to participate in a automated volume breast ultrasound scanner. If the women agrees to participate and sign informed consent she undergoes an automated whole breast scan. The scan is interpreted independent of the mammogram. Scans are assigned a BIRADS category score of 1, 2, 3,or 0. BIRADS category 3 lesions are reported as no evidence of malignancy and a 1 year follow-up is recommended. BIRADS category 0 lesions are requested to have a hand held ultrasound including elastography. Follow up is then determined by BIRADS score and elastography results of hand held ultrasound.

The study evaluates prospectively the changes in recall rate, positive biopsy rate, cancer detection rate when BIRADS category 3 lesions are given a 1 year follow-up recommendation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Cancer, run by Northeastern Ohio Radiology Research and Education Fund.

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 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Apr 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Decreased recall rate for screening breast ultrasound while maintaining cancer detection rate (time frame: 3 years). 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 NCT02650778, 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 4 Apr 2023.
