About this study

Official title: Magnetic Seed Localisation for Nonpalpable Breast Lesions: a Combined Retrospective and Prospective Analysis

Screening programs and advances in imaging have led to more breast lesions being diagnosed at an impalpable stage. Multiple localisation techniques for nonpalpable breast lesions have been developed during the past decades. Specifically, several alternatives to the golden standard hooked-wire technique have become available, of which magnetic seed localisation is one of the newest approaches. Since September 2018, Magseed® localisation is the standard of care for localising impalpable breast lesions in UZ Leuven. In this study, the oncological safety, the clinical safety and surgeon satisfaction of Magseed® localisation will be assessed and retrospectively compared to hooked-wire localisation.

What participants receive

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

  • Preoperative localisation techniqueDevice

    Impalpable breast lesions are preoperatively localised, either with hooked-wire (retrospective study) or Magseed (prospective study)

Study groups in NCT03988777
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Prospective MagseedThis cohort includes patients with an impalpable breast lesion that are scheduled for breast conserving surgery with Magseed localisation after September 2018. Their data will be prospectively collected and analysed.
Receives: Device: Preoperative localisation technique
Retrospective hooked-wireThis cohort includes patients with an impalpable breast lesion that were scheduled for breast conserving surgery with hooked-wire before September 2018. Their data will be retrospectively collected and analysed.
Receives: Device: Preoperative localisation technique

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of participant with device-related adverse events

    Measured: Up to three weeks after surgical treatment

  2. Total breast volume resected during breast conserving surgery

    Measured: Up to three weeks after surgical treatment

  3. Number of participants with positive surgical margins as assessed by pathological examination of the specimen

    Measured: Up to three weeks after surgical treatment

  4. Re-operation rate due to positive surgical margins

    Measured: Up to three weeks after surgical treatment

  5. Surgeon satisfaction based on a questionnaire

    After surgery, the surgeon will be asked to describe the magnetic seed procedure, choosing between 'easier than hooked-wire' or 'more challenging than hooked-wire'. Moreover, the surgeon wil have the chance to add additional remarks or experiences with this new technique.

    Measured: After surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Oncology and Breast Cancer, run by Universitaire Ziekenhuizen KU Leuven at 1 site in Belgium.

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 2 inclusion and 0 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 17 Jun 2019. 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 Belgium. 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 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?

Number of participant with device-related adverse events (time frame: Up to three weeks after surgical treatment). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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 17 Jun 2019.
