About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Effect of Body Position and Probe Position on the Localization of Breast Mass in Free-Hand Breast Ultrasound Examination

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that BVN G-1000 can precisely and consistently measure the position of female breast lesions regardless of patient rotation and probe angle during ultrasound examination.

Read the detailed description

The proposed research consists of quantitatively detecting and reporting the effect of body rotation and ultrasound probe position on the breast on the position of breast lesions relative to the breast nipple and body orientation planes, required for positional annotations, in female subjects at one study visit. Measurements will be manually and automatically recorded by two ultrasound operators with each image and will be compared among these conditions to detect effects of probe position and probe orientation and patient's body position relative to the exam table. The manual and automated measurements will be compared to determine the differences between the data obtained using the two different methods.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT02997540
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
female breast ultrasound examfemales with at least one benign or probably benign mass, up to 2 cm in size, in one breast, detected during a standard-of-care breast ultrasound examination

What is being measured

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

  1. movement of a given ultrasound breast lesion

    movement of a given ultrasound breast lesion between different operators and between different body rotation positions and probe positions and orientations

    Measured: study completion, an average of 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Diseases, run by MetriTrack, Inc. 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 3 inclusion and 9 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Jul 2021. 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Successfully obtained sufficient data to complete this research project.). 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?

movement of a given ultrasound breast lesion (time frame: study completion, an average of 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 21 Jul 2021.
