About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Advanced MRI Acquisition Techniques for Perfusion and Diffusion to Detect Breast Cancer

Evaluation of advanced MRI acquisition techniques (perfusion and diffusion) to detect breast cancer. Two MR advanced sequences will be added to a standard breast MRI protocol for evaluation purpose.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective monocentric longitudinal study on a consecutive population of patients who require breast MRI as part of their course of care in the radiology department of the Tenon Hospital (3T MRI).

The standard protocol for breast MRI routinely performed in Tenon hospital consists of a set of MR acquisitions performed with contrast agent injection. The research consists of adding perfusion and diffusion sequences to the regular MR protocol. The addition of these sequences does not require a new injection of contrast medium.

Diagnosis of lesions after the breast MR exam will be performed using standard MR sequences as usual. According to the recommendations of SIFEM, the final diagnosis of the lesions will be made either by histological analysis of a biopsy performed as part of the patient's standard care pathway, or during patient's follow-up if a biopsy is not indicated (up to two years after breast MR exam).

The research will focus on evaluating the sensitivity and specificity of perfusion MRI sequence with or without diffusion MRI sequence compared to the sensitivity and specificity of the standard protocol.

For the perfusion sequence, the following data will be extracted: qualitative (shape of the contrast curve), semi-quantitative (elevation slope and asymptote of the curve) and quantitative by compartmental modeling (tissue perfusion, blood volume fraction, surface capillary permeability).

For the diffusion MRI, the extraction of quantitative data such as CDA, IVIM and Kurtosis will be performed and parametric maps, cellularity maps and an assessment of lesion heterogeneity will be calculated.

A correlation will be made with histological, immunohistochemical and molecular results of cancers following biopsy

What is being measured

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

  1. Mammary lesions Visualization on ultrafast injected dynamic MRI: Yes/No

    to evaluate whether ultrafast injected dynamic breast MRI, coupled or not with a diffusion sequence, allows to improve the specificity of standard MRI while maintaining the same sensitivity

    Measured: Day 1 at inclusion

  2. Mammary lesions Visualization with a diffusion sequence

    to evaluate whether ultrafast injected dynamic breast MRI, coupled or not with a diffusion sequence, allows to improve the specificity of standard MRI while maintaining the same sensitivity

    Measured: Day 1 at inclusion

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Quantitative perfusion parameters : Enhancement Integral (EI (%))

    Correlate the parameters of perfusion MR sequence with the markers immunochemicals of tumor angiogenesis on anatomopathological specimen

    Measured: Day 1 at inclusion

  2. Quantitative perfusion parameters : Maximum Slope of Increase (MSI (%/sec))

    Correlate the parameters of perfusion MR sequence with the markers immunochemicals of tumor angiogenesis on anatomopathological specimen

    Measured: Day 1 at inclusion

  3. Quantitative perfusion parameters : Maximum of enhancement (Rmax (%))

    Correlate the parameters of perfusion MR sequence with the markers immunochemicals of tumor angiogenesis on anatomopathological specimen

    Measured: Day 1 at inclusion

  4. Quantitative perfusion parameters : Timing of Maximum of enhancement (RmaxTiming (sec))

    Correlate the parameters of perfusion MR sequence with the markers immunochemicals of tumor angiogenesis on anatomopathological specimen

    Measured: Day 1 at inclusion

  5. Quantitative perfusion parameters : Wash-inrate (WIR (%/sec)

    Correlate the parameters of perfusion MR sequence with the markers immunochemicals of tumor angiogenesis on anatomopathological specimen

    Measured: Day 1 at inclusion

  6. Correlate diffusion MRI parameters with immunochemical markers of tumor angiogenesis on anatomopathological specimen Quantitative diffusion parameter : Apparent Coefficient Diffusion

    Measured: Day 1 at inclusion

  7. Evaluate the reduction in the time required to acquire and interpret the new breast MR protocol compared to the standard one

    Measured: Day 1 at inclusion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing MRI sequence in people with Breast Cancer, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris.

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 3 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Oct 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Mammary lesions Visualization on ultrafast injected dynamic MRI: Yes/No (time frame: Day 1 at inclusion). The study lists 2 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 20 Oct 2021.
