About this study

The contribution of automated breast ultrasound (ABUS) to the screening pathway for breast cancer is not fully understood. This prospective study aims to collect longitudinal data in women with dense breasts undergoing ABUS as a supplement to digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT). The data are intended for use in future research on the value and effectiveness of ABUS in routine clinical care.

Data will be collected from eligible women who have been prescribed or have completed DBT and ABUS, screening within a 30-day window. Radiologist evaluations and, when performed, outcomes of biopsy and/or laboratory testing will be recorded. Subjects will be followed for breast cancer status and results of any diagnostic breast exams and/or treatment.

What participants receive

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

  • Automated Breast UltrasoundDevice

    The ABUS system is designed to methodically scan a breast and capture multiple ultrasound images that can be rendered and reviewed in three dimensions.

  • Digital Breast TomosynthesisDevice

    Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) systems are designed to collect 3-dimensional x-ray images of breast tissues.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Cancer, run by GE Healthcare 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 4 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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.

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 9 Sep 2019). 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?

Number of Complete Breast Imaging Datasets (time frame: Up to 6 Years). 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 9 Sep 2019.
