About this study

Official title: Randomized Prospective Trial Comparing Radioactive Seed Localized Breast Biopsy to Needle Localized Breast Biopsy

RATIONALE: Biopsy is the removal of cells or tissue for examination under a microscope. It is not yet known which type of breast biopsy is more effective for diagnosing breast lesions.

PURPOSE: Randomized diagnostic trial to compare the effectiveness of two different types of biopsy in patients who have breast lesions that cannot be felt upon examination.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES: I. Compare the effect of low dose radioactive seed localized breast biopsy versus needle localized breast biopsy on operative time and tissue loss in patients with nonpalpable breast lesions. II. Compare the cost effectiveness of these diagnostic methods in these patients. III. Demonstrate that radioactive seed localization allows for elimination of specimen x-ray in these patients. IV. Demonstrate that radioactive seeds may be placed safely for 1-7 days prior to surgical removal in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a randomized study. Patients are randomized to one of two diagnostic arms. Arm I: Patients undergo radiographic placement of a radioactive seed (either iodine I 125 or palladium Pd 103) into the suspicious lesion. Patients then undergo surgery to remove the lesion along with the seed and a small margin of surrounding breast tissue followed 3 months later by a postoperative mammogram. Arm II: Patients undergo a needle localized breast biopsy with a specimen x-ray.

What is being measured

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

  1. Tissue Loss Rates for Each Arm

    Compare the effect of low dose radioactive seed localized breast biopsy versus needle localized breast biopsy on tissue loss in patients with nonpalpable breast lesions.

    Measured: 18 months

  2. Operative Time Rates in Each Group

    Compare the effect of low dose radioactive seed localized breast biopsy versus needle localized breast biopsy on operative time in patients with nonpalpable breast lesions.

    Measured: 18 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of Participants with Adverse Events for Each Group

    Review of adverse events utilizing Common Toxicity Criteria (CTC) V3.

    Measured: 18 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Needle localized breast biopsy with specimen x-ray and Low dose radioactive seed followed by surgery and mammogram in people with Breast Cancer, run by H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 26 Sep 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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?

Tissue Loss Rates for Each Arm (time frame: 18 months). 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 26 Sep 2012.
