  • Women only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Female subjects who require a stereotactic breast biopsy procedure.

Who may be able to join

  • Female aged 18 years of age or older
  • Subject has at least one breast imaging finding requiring biopsy for which images are available
  • Subject is able to understand, read and sign the trial specific informed consent form after the nature of the trial has been fully explained to her

Who cannot join

  • Patients who, based on the physician's judgment, may be at increased risk or develop complications associated with core removal or biopsy.

About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Block Stratified Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Performance and Operation of the Brevera Breast Biopsy System

The Brevera Breast Biopsy System integrates tissue acquisition, real time imaging, and post biopsy handling all during the same procedure. This post-market clinical trial will be performed to obtain clinical/operational data and feedback on the Brevera Breast Biopsy System as compared to the current standard-of-care breast biopsy procedures

What participants receive

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

  • Breast BiopsyDevice

    A breast biopsy is a test that removes tissue or sometimes fluid from the suspicious area. The removed cells are examined under a microscope and further tested to check for the presence of breast cancer. A biopsy is a diagnostic procedure that can definitely determine if the suspicious area is cancerous.

Study groups in NCT03300206
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Brevera Breast Biopsy SystemThe Brevera Breast Biopsy System with CorLumina imaging technology is a vacuum-assisted biopsy device, which is used to remove breast tissue in a minimally invasive manner using stereotactic or tomosynthesis imaging.
Receives: Device: Breast Biopsy
Standard of CareEach of the participating sites will currently be using a vacuum assisted breast biopsy system along with a specimen radiography system (or other specimen imaging system).
Receives: Device: Breast Biopsy

What is being measured

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

  1. Difference in Procedural Time in Minutes

    The primary endpoint of this trial is the measured difference in procedure time between biopsies performed with the Brevera biopsy system and those performed with the standard-of-care biopsy systems at each clinical site. Additionally, feedback from the perspective of the participant radiologists, technologists, and subjects using the systems was reported.

    Measured: Average Time- Procedure (1 Lesion per subject): Total Time elapsed from when the subject enters the procedure room until they have left the procedure room, an average of 43 minutes.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Post-biopsy Complication Rates

    Adverse event percentage rates.

    Measured: The time of consent until the subject procedure was completed, an average of 1 day

  2. Number of Samples Collected Per Lesion

    Number of samples collected per lesion

    Measured: Samples collected from day of Breast Biopsy Procedure Only

  3. Percentage of Procedures With Overall Positive Opinion From Radiologists, Technologists and Patients

    The radiologists, technologists, and patients participating in this study were asked to provide feedback on the Brevera Biopsy System at the completion of each procedure. Their responses (raw scores) were reported and converted to percentage of procedures with overall positive opinion. The scale goes from 0% (poor/negative opinion) to 100% (excellent/positive opinion).

    Measured: Through study completion, enrollment expected to take up to 6-10 months at each participant site. Data collected from day of Breast Biopsy Procedure Only

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Cancer Female, run by Hologic, Inc. at 7 sites 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 2 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 4 Dec 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 4 Dec 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Difference in Procedural Time in Minutes (time frame: Average Time- Procedure (1 Lesion per subject): Total Time elapsed from when the subject enters the procedure room until they have left the procedure room, an average of 43 minutes.). 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 4 Dec 2024.
