About this study

Official title: Regenerative High Purity Type I Collagen Scaffold for Breast Cancer Excision Repair and Reconstruction: A Prospective Multicenter Clinical Trial

This clinical trial evaluates the safety and efficacy of High Purity Type I Collagen scaffold for breast volume restoration following breast-conserving surgery (BCS). The regenerative collagen matrix serves as a biocompatible scaffold promoting tissue ingrowth, neovascularization, and gradual remodeling, thereby improving cosmetic outcomes and patient quality of life after partial mastectomy.

Read the detailed description

Breast-conserving surgery (BCS) is the standard treatment for early-stage breast cancer, balancing oncological safety with aesthetic preservation. However, postoperative volume defects may cause breast asymmetry and psychological distress. Traditional options such as flaps or implants are limited by donor-site morbidity and complications.

This prospective, single-arm, bi-centre study investigates the clinical performance of a high-purity, cross-linked bovine Type I collagen scaffold for immediate breast volume restoration. The study will assess safety, volume maintenance, cosmetic appearance, and patient-reported outcomes through standardized 3D imaging, MRI analysis, and validated quality-of-life instruments.

The study will enroll 40 women undergoing BCS with expected volume defects ≥20%, with 2-month postoperative follow-up for primary endpoints.

What participants receive

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

  • High Purity Type I Collagen Scaffold (Regenerative Matrix)Device

    Standard breast-conserving surgery followed by immediate scaffold placement into the excision cavity. The scaffold is sutured using absorbable sutures and covered with standard wound closure. Postoperative care follows institutional protocols. Adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy as indicated per oncological protocols; standard antibiotics and analgesics.

Study groups in NCT07219316
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
High Purity Type I Collagen ScaffoldExperimentalPatients undergoing breast conservative surgery will receive immediate placement of high purity Type I collagen scaffold to fill tissue defect. The scaffold is a sterile, cross-linked bovine Type I collagen matrix with degradation time of 2 months, sterilized by ethylene oxide
Receives: Device: High Purity Type I Collagen Scaffold (Regenerative Matrix)

What is being measured

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

  1. Volume Restoration

    Proportion of patients achieving ≥80% breast volume retention at 2 months assessed by imaging/MRI

    Measured: 2 months post-operative

  2. Patient Satisfaction With Breast Volume Restoration

    Patient satisfaction ≥7/10 on standardized satisfaction scale (BREAST-Q). The BREAST-Q is a validated patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) used to assess the quality of life and satisfaction of patients undergoing breast surgery. It consists of specific modules for different procedures, like reconstruction, and measures aspects such as psychological well-being, physical well-being (chest and sexual), and satisfaction with the breasts and care. The scale, which results in scores from 0 to 100, helps evaluate the impact of surgery from the patient's perspective. Scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating a greater degree of health-related quality of life or satisfaction.

    Measured: 4 weeks and 8 weeks post-operative

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Objective Volume Assessment

    Percentage change in breast volume at 2, 4, and 8 weeks post-surgery

    Measured: 2 weeks, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks post-operative

  2. Cosmetic Assessment

    Physician-rated 4-point cosmetic score. This is a standardized visual assessment tool used to evaluate the aesthetic outcome of the operated breast compared to the contralateral breast. The assessment is based on parameters such as breast shape, volume, symmetry, contour, nipple-areolar complex position, and scar appearance. The 4-point grading system is typically defined as:

    Grade 4 - Excellent - Described as operated breast almost identical to contralateral side - Criteria is minimal asymmetry, natural contour Grade 3 - Good - Described as slight difference in shape or volume - Acceptable symmetry and cosmetic result Grade 2 - Fair - Described as noticeable asymmetry or distortion - Moderate contour irregularity or scar visibility Grade 1 - Poor - Described as significant deformity or volume loss - Unacceptable cosmetic result

    Measured: 2 months post-operative

  3. Radiological Outcomes

    MRI Scoring System - Scaffold Integration, Vascularization \& Resorption:

    Standardized MRI assessment of scaffold performance (integration, neovascularization, resorption) at baseline, Week 4, and Week 8.

    MRI protocol:

    T1 (axial/sagittal), T2/STIR (axial), DCE T1 (pre-contrast, early 30-60 s, intermediate 90-120 s, delayed 4-6 min),

    Scores (0-3 each):

    1. Integration: 0 = none; 1 = minimal; 2 = moderate; 3 = complete tissue continuity.
    2. Vascularization: 0 = none; 1 = mild/delayed; 2 = moderate (neovascular); 3 = marked (early enhancement).
    3. Resorption: 0 > 75% residual; 1 = 50-75%; 2 = 25-50%; 3 < 25% residual. D. Tissue Quality: 0 = fluid-filled; 1 = mostly fluid; 2 = mixed; 3 = tissue-like.

    Composite MRI Integration Score (MIS 0-12): Higher = better integration/remodeling.

    Interpretation:

    0-3 Poor, 4-7 Moderate, 8-10 Good, 11-12 Excellent.

    Measured: Immediate postoperative, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks

  4. Number of Participants With Postoperative Complications

    Number of participants experiencing postoperative complications within the 2-month follow-up period after breast cancer excision and collagen scaffold implantation. Complications assessed include seroma, hematoma, surgical site infection, abscess, wound dehiscence, scaffold exposure or extrusion, prolonged postoperative pain, and ecchymosis.

    Each participant is counted once per complication category. Higher values indicate greater frequency of complications.

    Measured: 2 months
