Trial summary

Rationale: MagTrace® will be implemented as standard of care for sentinel lymph node biopsy, since it has several advantages compared to a radioactive technique. However, MagTrace® is known to interfere with MRI during follow-up imaging when using 2 mL. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • Women only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients who participated in the previous MagTrace study will be included. All patients will be approached before their 1-year follow-up appointment at the radiology department. Patients will be informed by telephone by the coordinating investigator. If they are interested in this study, the patients will receive the patient information folder. Forty patients were included in the MagTrace study, so depending on the participants' willingness to participate in this subsequent trial, up to 40 patients will participate.

Who may be able to join

  • Female patients of 18 years and older.
  • Previously underwent sentinel lymph node biopsy using MagTrace®.
  • Undergoing standard follow-up for previous breast cancer

Who cannot join

  • Unable to comprehend the extend and implications of the study and sign for informed consent.
  • Standard MRI exclusion criteria:
  • Implantable (electrical) devices (e.g., pacemaker, cochlear implants, neurostimulator);
  • Any other metal implants;
  • Claustrophobia;
  • MR-incompatible prosthetic heart valves.
  • Standard CEM exclusion criteria:
  • Breast implants.

About this study

Rationale: MagTrace® will be implemented as standard of care for sentinel lymph node biopsy, since it has several advantages compared to a radioactive technique. However, MagTrace® is known to interfere with MRI during follow-up imaging when using 2 mL. No data is available for patients who received 1 mL of MagTrace®, as is described in our current protocol. A contrast enhanced mammography (CEM) could be an alternative for MRI if it still shows artefacts.

Objective: The primary objective in this trial is to evaluate the use of MRI and contrast enhanced mammography after using MagTrace® to perform a sentinel node biopsy.

Study design: Prospective trial in an outpatient clinic setting.

Study population: Patients who were included in the previous MagTrace study will be asked to participate in this subsequent trial.

Study procedure: Participants will undergo MRI and CEM as standard 1-year follow-up. Since the MagTrace study started in August 2021 and finished in February 2022, this trial will start August 2022 to February 2023.

Main study parameters/endpoints: To evaluate the use of MRI and CEM, the following primary endpoints will be assessed: Visibility and size of artefacts undergoing MRI and CEM and its consequences of the quality for image assessment.

Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: Since MagTrace® will be implemented as standard localisation technique for breast conserving surgery and sentinel lymph node biopsy in Zuyderland MC, the information obtained from this trial is essential for the follow-up planning of all breast cancer patients. Therefore, the burden for the patients (undergoing extra imaging) will be in proportion to the added value of this trial.

What participants receive

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

  • MRIDiagnostic test

    Also called Mammography

    Patients will undergo an MRI and mammography one year after MagTrace injections

What is being measured

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

  1. Are there any artefacts visible when undergoing an MRI?

    Visible artefacts on MRI

    Measured: One year after surgery

  2. Are there any artefacts visible when undergoing a CEM?

    Visible artefacts on CEM

    Measured: One year after surgery

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Size of the possible artefact.

    Size of the artefacts on MRI and mammography

    Measured: One year after surgery

  2. The possibility to assess the imaging by a trained radiologist

    The radiologist will score the assessability using a 4 point scoring system:

    1. No artefact
    2. Good diagnostic quality
    3. Impaired but still readable
    4. Hampered clinical assessment

    Measured: One year after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Cancer, run by Zuyderland Medisch Centrum.

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 3 inclusion and 8 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Dec 2022. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Merel Spiekerman van Weezelenburg, MD (088 459 7777, m.spiekermanvanweezelenburg@zuyderland.nl), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Are there any artefacts visible when undergoing an MRI? (time frame: One year after surgery). 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 5 Dec 2022.
