Trial summary

Breast MRI is performed in prone position which causes a number of questions. Indeed, the correlation with mammography and echography and the identification of preoperative lesions can be complex as echography and surgery are carried in supine position while mammography is performed in standing position.

About this study

Breast MRI is performed in prone position which causes a number of questions. Indeed, the correlation with mammography and echography and the identification of preoperative lesions can be complex as echography and surgery are carried in supine position while mammography is performed in standing position.

Moreover, the prone position is often considered as uncomfortable by the patients. However, there is few publications in the literature on breast MRI in decubitus position.

What participants receive

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

  • Position for the 3.0 Tesla in Magnetic Resonance ImagingProcedure or surgery

    Eligible patients will have a standard MRI in prone position. At the end of this examination, all patients will have an other standard MRI in supine position.

    This examination is then extended by 10 minutes without additional injection of contrast medium

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of lesions where the topography is discordant between the positions (prone and supine).

    The topography is considered discordant if the location of the lesion is different between prone and supine positions (location will be described as the positions on a clock) and / or the distance from the nipple to the lesion is greater than 2cm between prone and supine positions.

    Measured: 1 day

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Comfort patient in supine position compared to the prone position using a self-administered questionnaire

    Measured: 1 day

  2. distance from the anterior border of the lesion to the nipple in supine position compared to the prone position

    Measured: 1 day

  3. distance from cutaneous projection of the lesion to the nipple in supine position compared to the prone position

    Measured: 1 day

  4. distance from lesion to pectoralis major muscle in supine position compared to the prone position

    Measured: 1 day

  5. Quandrant of the lesions and positions on a clock in supine position compared to the prone position

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Position for the 3.0 Tesla in Magnetic Resonance Imaging in people with Breast Cancer, run by Institut de Cancérologie de Lorraine at 1 site in France.

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 5 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Aug 2018. 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 France. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Percentage of lesions where the topography is discordant between the positions (prone and supine). (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 8 Aug 2018.
