About this study

This will be a single-center prospective randomized control trial that is Institutional Review Board (IRB) approved. The study plans to enroll 250 female patients presenting to the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) for stereotactic biopsy. This study is a prospective and will target approximately 250 patients. This will be a HIPPA-compliant randomized control trial planned on spanning approximately six months' time. Patients will be entered into the study only based on their already scheduled stereotactic biopsy procedure. Patients will be informed of the study and they will be offered the opportunity to participate or not participate in the study. Their participation is completely voluntary. This study will not involve any intervention that is not already a part of standard care. Patients will be randomized to two groups, one group that will undergo clip placement with approximately with a 5 mm retraction of the biopsy clip post-placement and one that will involve no retraction prior to deployment.

Conditions
Breast Biopsy
Being tested
5mm retraction of clip deployment apparatus., No retraction of clip deployment apparatus.

What participants receive

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

  • 5mm retraction of clip deployment apparatus.Device

    Advancing the clip to the biopsy site and retracting 5 mm and then deploying. This is one method of standard of care and involves depositing the clip after retraction of the deployment apparatus 5 mm.

  • No retraction of clip deployment apparatus.Device

    This is one method of standard of care and the clip will be deployed at the biopsy site.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Breast Biopsy Patients Whose Clip Migrated Greater Than 10mm From the Biopsy Site.

    This number of participants will be counted if their clip migrated more than 10mm from the biopsy site.

    Measured: baseline through 1 hour (post biopsy mammogram/procedure)

  2. Percentage of Breast Biopsy Patients Whose Clip Migrated Greater Than 10mm From the Biopsy Site.

    Measured: baseline through 1 hour (post biopsy mammogram/procedure)

  3. Average Distance of Clip Migration for the Arm That Received 5mm Retraction.

    Measured: baseline through 1 hour (post biopsy mammogram/procedure)

  4. Average Distance of Clip Migration for the Arm That Did Not Receive Clip Retraction.

    Measured: baseline through 1 hour (post biopsy mammogram/procedure)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 5mm retraction of clip deployment apparatus. and No retraction of clip deployment apparatus. in people with Breast Biopsy, run by University of Alabama at Birmingham 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 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Dec 2023. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 20 Dec 2023). 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 Breast Biopsy Patients Whose Clip Migrated Greater Than 10mm From the Biopsy Site. (time frame: baseline through 1 hour (post biopsy mammogram/procedure)). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04398537, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Dec 2023.
