About this study

Official title: Allogenic Acellular Dermal Matrix Use in Patients With Breast Reconstruction

Allogenic acellular dermal matrix has been used in burn injuries or abdominal walls reconstructions. However, it is solely used in breast reconstructions after breast carcinoma amputation. The efficacy of such allogenic dermal matrix can be advantageous when compared to current treatment options, however, this has to be proved.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective study, where patients undergoing breast reconstruction surgery using acellular dermal matrix (ADM) with expander use in first phase of reconstruction will be included. The permanent breast implants will be implanted approximately half year during second surgery. Acellular dermal matrix is a soft tissue graft that is formed by decellularization, however with intact extracellular dermal matrix. Such structure is able to re-create adequate skeleton for host cells with subsequent incorporation and revascularization. The safety and appropriateness of such ADM in breast reconstruction surgery will be analyzed.

Receives: Other: Acellular dermal matrix implantation

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of complications in patients receiving acellular dermal matrix evaluated at 6 months after primary implantation

    All patients between January 2010 and June 2014 undergoing primary ADM implantation will be evaluated at 6 months after implantation for early ex-plantations, inflammation, deformities of the implants, allergic reactions will be observed in patients undergoing primary ADM implantation at 6 months until second permanent implantation is performed.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Histologic evaluation of ADM implants upon planned explantations

    All patients between January 2012 and June 2014 after primary ADM transplantation will be evaluated. Analysis of cell composition, leukocytes at place, vessel formation and dysplasias will be performed

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Satisfaction with breast reconstruction outcome evaluated by Breast-Q questionnaire

    Physical and psychical as well as sexual well-being with outcome will be evaluated by specifically for this purpose developed questionnaire (The Breast-Q questionnaire) after permanent breast implant implantation at 2 years

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Cancer, run by University Hospital Bratislava at 1 site in Slovakia.

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 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 18 Jul 2016. 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 Slovakia. 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?

Number of complications in patients receiving acellular dermal matrix evaluated at 6 months after primary implantation (time frame: 6 months). 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 NCT02835781, 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 18 Jul 2016.
