About this study

Official title: Frequency Domain Optical Imaging of Breast Cancer

This purpose of this clinical study to develop and test technology associated with near infrared (NIR) optical tomography of the breast (the use of light at NIR wavelengths to image the breast) as an adjunct to mammography and breast MRI.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this clinical study is to demonstrate the feasibility of NIR absorption and fluorescence imaging of the female breast when the method is guided by breast MRI. The hypotheses to be tested are:

  1. MR-guided NIR absorption and fluorescence imaging of the breast is feasible in the setting of a clinical breast exam
  2. MR-guided NIR absorption and fluorescence imaging of the breast provides spatial localization and contrast of a breast abnormality that is superior to NIR absorption and fluorescence tomography alone.

What participants receive

  • MR-guided Near Infrared optical tomographyDiagnostic test

Study groups in NCT05246735
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
MR-guided NIROtherWomen with breast abnormalities will undergo an "optical exam" (NIR) in combination with MRI where the NIR light imaging system illuminates the breast from multiple positions covering the area of interest. A total of 60 women will be evaluated: 20 with breast abnormalities receiving gadolinium (Gd) contrast enhancement, 20 with breast abnormalities receiving both Gd-contrast enhancement and indocyanine green (ICG) contrast enhancement, and 20 healthy volunteers not receiving any contrast agents.
Receives: Diagnostic Test: MR-guided Near Infrared optical tomography

What is being measured

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

  1. Compare spatial localization and contrast images of breast abnormalities from MR-guided NIR absorption and fluorescence tomography to NIR absorption and fluorescence tomography alone

    Women will participate in MR-guided NIR exams which include both MR and optical contrast agents. These imaging outcomes will be compared to exams where only the MR contrast agent is used as well as to exams where no contrast agents are administered.

    Measured: During imaging and evaluation by a radiologist or medical technologist, up to 90 minute

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing MR-guided Near Infrared optical tomography in people with Breast Cancer, run by Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center.

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 9 inclusion and 15 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 16 May 2023. 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 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?

Compare spatial localization and contrast images of breast abnormalities from MR-guided NIR absorption and fluorescence tomography to NIR absorption and fluorescence tomography alone (time frame: During imaging and evaluation by a radiologist or medical technologist, up to 90 minute). 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 16 May 2023.
