About this study

Official title: Post-Mastectomy Surveillance to Detect Locally Recurrent Breast Cancer

Currently, there is no standard recommendation for using imaging studies to check patients for breast cancer recurrence who have been treated with mastectomy. The investigator proposes performing in-office ultrasound examinations of these patients to determine if this would be helpful in identifying an expected 5-7% of patients with breast cancer recurrences following mastectomy.

Read the detailed description

The investigator hypothesizes that surgeon-directed ultrasound is a feasible, accurate, and cost-effective strategy for local recurrence surveillance in breast cancer patients after mastectomy. Toward examining these hypotheses, the investigators propose the following Specific Aims:

Aim I: To determine the number of breast cancer recurrences following mastectomy detected by surgeon-performed ultrasound.

Aim II: To determine the sensitivity and specificity of surgeon-performed ultrasound for the detection of post-mastectomy breast cancer recurrence.

Aim III: To estimate the cost of performing surgeon-directed ultrasound for the detection of post-mastectomy breast cancer recurrence from the perspective of a third party payer relative to standard surveillance alone.

What is being measured

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

  1. To determine the number of breast cancer recurrences following mastectomy detected by surgeon-performed ultrasound.

    To determine the number of breast cancer recurrences following mastectomy detected by surgeon-performed ultrasound during a three year trial period.

    Measured: 3 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The sensitivity of surgeon performed breast ultrasound to detect breast cancer recurrence after mastectomy will be measured.

    Sensitivity measures the proportion of patients that have pathologically confirmed breast cancer recurrences that were correctly identified as such by surgeon performed ultrasound.

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing post mastectomy ultrasound in people with Breast Cancer, run by Providence Health & Services 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 3 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 28 Aug 2019. 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?

To determine the number of breast cancer recurrences following mastectomy detected by surgeon-performed ultrasound. (time frame: 3 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 Aug 2019.
