About this study

Official title: Comparison of Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Molecular Breast Imaging in Breast Diagnostic Evaluation

The purpose of this study is to determine the sensitivity of Molecular Breast Imaging (MBI) relative to MRI of the breast in patients undergoing MRI for a clinical concern, or abnormal diagnostic mammogram and/or ultrasound study.

Read the detailed description

Background: Breast MRI has excellent sensitivity, but is very expensive and suffers from low specificity. Additional benign biopsies are prompted by MRI in 24-40% of patients. Molecular Breast Imaging (MBI) is a new nuclear medicine technique developed at Mayo. Preliminary MBI results indicate a sensitivity of ~88% for the detection of tumors < 10 mm. The cost of an MBI procedure is expected to be a factor of 5 less than an MRI examination.

Hypothesis: MBI has a comparable sensitivity to MRI at a significantly lower cost.

Study Design: A total of 120 patients will be studied. All patients will have been scheduled for bilateral breast MRI at Mayo Clinic Rochester for a clinical concern, problem solving, or abnormal mammogram and/or ultrasound study. All patients will undergo MBI within 3 weeks of the MRI examination.

Potential Outcomes: This study will provide valuable information on the sensitivity of MBI relative to MRI, and to determine if this new technique can be eventually developed as an alternative to MRI for problem solving.

What participants receive

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

  • Molecular Breast ImagingDevice

    Molecular breast Imaging is a new nuclear medicine technique for imaging the breast. It uses small filed of view semiconductor-based gamma cameras that use Cadmium Zinc Telluride detectors. These have superior spatial and energy resolution to conventional sodium iodide detectors.

What is being measured

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

  1. Sensitivity on the Per Patient Level

    Sensitivity is the number of women with breast cancer detected per number of women with breast cancer diagnosed by surgery or biopsy.

    Measured: within 1 week of surgery or biopsy

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Sensitivity on the Per Tumor Level

    Number of tumors detected per number of tumors diagnosed on surgery or biopsy.

    Measured: within 1 week of surgery or biopsy

  2. Specificity

    The number of women with negative imaging test per number of women without cancer.

    Measured: at least one year following imaging

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Molecular Breast Imaging in people with Breast Cancer, run by Mayo Clinic 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?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 5 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 Jul 2014. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 9 Jul 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Sensitivity on the Per Patient Level (time frame: within 1 week of surgery or biopsy). 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 9 Jul 2014.
