About this study

Official title: Clinical Effectiveness of cOntrast Enhanced Mammography in Diagnosis of Additional Findings at Preoperative Breast Magnetic ResOnance Imaging: A Prospective, Multicenter, Interventional Study

In order to explain the value of adding CESM into the clinical pathway, and also to obtain the relevant clinical data to support future update of clinical guideline, we plan to evaluate the detection rate of CESM for additional findings on preoperative breast MRI and the relevant clinical safety in the study.

Read the detailed description

The goal of the prospective, multicenter, interventional Study is to prospectively evaluate the detection rate of preoperative contrast enhanced spectral mammography for additional suspicious findings of preoperative breast MRI in patients presenting with index breast lesions (BI-RADS ≥ 4).

The study plans to include 320 adult female patients with Index lesions of "BI-RADS≥4" in breast MRI.

What participants receive

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

  • contrast-enhanced spectral mammographyDiagnostic test

    Also called CEM, CESM

    After enrollment, subjects should undergo contrast-enhanced spectral mammography again within within 28 days of MRI examination.

    Iopromide/contrast agent is intravenously administered two minutes prior to the first (dual-energy) image acquisition.

    • The dosage of iodine contrast agent is calculated as 1.5 mL/kg of iopromide 370 mgI/ml.
    • Injecting with high pressure syringe (Stellant, Bayer AG) at an IDR of 3ml/s, followed by 10 ml normal saline.

What is being measured

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

  1. The detection rate of preoperative contrast-enhanced spectral mammography

    The detection rate of preoperative contrast-enhanced spectral mammography in 28 days after breast MRI for the detection of additional MRI findings in patients with breast index lesions (BI-RADS ≥ 4).

    The efficacy analysis data set of the study included all subjects who have obtained breast MRI and CESM with adequate image quality (score ≥ 2 of the 1-5 rating scale).

    Measured: within 28 days of MRI examination

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. detection rate

    • Assess detection rate of CESM on the additional findings of breast MRI

    Measured: within 28 days of MRI examination

  2. Number of Participants with change of treatment plan from baseline

    • Once CESM result is made available, the site investigators will be asked to re-evaluate the lesions and re-discuss the management strategy with site clinicians. Subsequent clinical management decisions such as biopsy or medical therapy is rested at the discretion of the referring clinicians and patients.

    Measured: within 28 days of MRI examination

  3. Number of Participants with change of biopsy plan from baseline

    • re-determining the treatment plan or biopsy plan and record the changes from baseline for each subject based on the clinical and radiology examination results, medical history and Breast Cancer Management Guideline (China HA 2022).

    Measured: within 28 days of MRI examination

  4. diagnostic accuracy of CESM

    • Evaluate the accuracy of CESM when get histological examination report
    • Protocols of clinical diagnosis, biopsy or therapeutic surgery, or histopathology examination will be conducted and reported according to the clinical routine of study sites.

    Measured: within 28 days of MRI examination

  5. difference by MRI and CESM

    • All breast MRI and CESM images will be re-evaluated in Wuhan Union Hospital (quality-control center) for image quality assessment by 2 independent radiologists (˃ 5 years' experience in diagnostic breast imaging) by Score of 5-point Likert scale and Score of 10-point Likert scale.
    • For Score of 5-point Likert scale:

    Score 1: insufficient image quality and cannot meet the diagnostic requirements Score 2: the image quality is average and basically meets the diagnostic requirements Score 3: The image quality is good and meets the diagnostic requirements Score 4: The image quality is good and meets the diagnostic requirements Score 5: The image quality is excellent and meets the diagnostic requirements

    • For Score of 10-point Likert scale: 10 subscale scores for subjective overall evaluation and selection preferences for CESM inspections. 1 is the worst, 10 is the best.

    Measured: within 28 days of MRI examination

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing contrast-enhanced spectral mammography in people with Breast Cancer, run by Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology at 1 site in China.

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 6 inclusion and 6 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Jun 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

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

Contact Fan Yang, Dr. (008685726114, fyang@vip.163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The detection rate of preoperative contrast-enhanced spectral mammography (time frame: within 28 days of MRI examination). 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?
