A study testing Standard mammography and Standard mammography and tomosynthesis in people with Breast Neoplasms and Tomosynthesis, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 2 sites in France.

Unknown status

Status not confirmed. The sponsor has not verified this record for over two years, so it may be out of date.

Trial summary

Tomosynthesis is an innovative technique developed in digital mammography for obtaining a sectional image of the breast. Mammography has the main disadvantage of being an imaging projection that creates overlays, which eliminates tomosynthesis. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: EVALUATION DE LA TOMOSYNTHESE DANS LA CARACTERISATION ET LA PRISE EN CHARGE DES LESIONS MAMMAIRES : "ETOLE"

Tomosynthesis is an innovative technique developed in digital mammography for obtaining a sectional image of the breast. Mammography has the main disadvantage of being an imaging projection that creates overlays, which eliminates tomosynthesis.

The objective of this study is to evaluate if the BI-RADS classification obtained by tomosynthesis with synthetic mammography is superior to that obtained by conventional mammography in terms of specificity while not inferior in terms of sensitivity.

Being tested
Standard mammography, Standard mammography and tomosynthesis
Medical subject headings
Breast Neoplasms, Fanconi Anemia, Complementation Group D1

What is being measured

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

  1. Breast Imaging-Reporting And Data System (BI-RADS) scale

    The primary evaluation parameter will be the classification error of tumors according to the BiRads scale obtained by mammography (BiRadsM) and by tomosynthesis (BiRadsT) according to the gold standard.

    Measured: Day 1

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Criteria for a poor prognosis

    The visibility (presence or absence) of signs of poor prognosis criteria. We will compare the visibility of poor prognosis criteria seen on mammography + ultrasound and seen on tomosynthesis with synthetic mammography + ultrasound.

    Measured: Day 1

  2. Number of additional examinations

    Needs for supplementary breast imaging exams and biopsies

    Measured: Day 30

  3. The number of ultrasound exams

    Measured: Day 30

  4. Total radiation dose

    Measured: Day 30

  5. Cost of the diagnostic strategies

    Measured: Day 30

  6. Agreement between readers

    The reproducibility of the interpretation of tomosynthesis will be assessed with differences of classifications BiRadsT observed between the two radiologists

    Measured: Day 1

  7. Cumulative incidence of Breast cancer diagnosis

    Cumulative incidence of Breast cancer diagnosis among women with benign at after primary evaluation

    Measured: Month 24

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Standard mammography and Standard mammography and tomosynthesis in people with Breast Neoplasms and Tomosynthesis, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 2 sites 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 3 inclusion and 6 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 24 Nov 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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. 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?

Contact cedric De Bazelaire, MD PHD (142499133 ext. +33, cedric.de-bazelaire@aphp.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Breast Imaging-Reporting And Data System (BI-RADS) scale (time frame: Day 1). 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 24 Nov 2017; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
