Trial summary

Breast cancer poses a significant global health challenge, especially among women, with high rates of recurrence and distant spread despite early interventions. The timely identification of metastasis risk and accurate prediction of treatment strategies are critical for improving prognosis. Read more about this study

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

Study population: In the study's initial phase, 1199 patients were randomly allocated at a ratio of 8:2 to training and testing datasets for automatic tumor segmentation. Subsequently, we randomly assigned 569 patients from Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University (SYSMH; Guangzhou, China) at a ratio of 3:1 to training (n = 456) and internal-validation (n = 113) cohorts for DFS prediction. The remaining patients were divided into two independent external-validation cohorts: 432 from Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center (SYSUCC; Guangzhou, China) into external testing cohort 1, and 198 from Dongguan Tungwah Hospital (DTH; Dongguan, China) and Shunde Hospital of Southern Medical University (SDHSMU; Guangzhou, China) into external testing cohort 2.

Who may be able to join

  • Histologically confirmed stage I-III invasive BC
  • Age ≥ 18 years
  • The patient having undergone surgery
  • The existence of MRI scans

Who cannot join

  • Lacked pathological results
  • Had other, simultaneous malignancies
  • Had MR imaging issues were excluded

About this study

Breast cancer poses a significant global health challenge, especially among women, with high rates of recurrence and distant spread despite early interventions. The timely identification of metastasis risk and accurate prediction of treatment strategies are critical for improving prognosis. However, the complex heterogeneity of breast tumors presents challenges in precise prognosis prediction. Therefore, the development of innovative methods for tumor segmentation and prognosis assessment is essential.

The research conducted is a multicenter study that enrolled 1,199 non-metastatic breast cancer patients from four independent centers. Our study leverages the advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) to address this challenge. This study is the first successful application of MRI-based multimodal prediction system to precisely identify the risk of postoperative recurrence in breast cancer patients.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Cancer, run by Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Aug 2024. 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?

DFS (time frame: The time from surgery to tumor recurrence, including local and/or distant recurrence, disease progression, or death, assessed up to 100 months.). 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 NCT06546072, 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 9 Aug 2024.
