About this study

Official title: Using Magnetic Resonance Techniques to Improve the Characterisation and Localisation of Breast Cancer. A Pilot Observational Study Testing the Accuracy of Multifunctional Magnetic Resonance Techniques in Predicting the Presence, Distribution and Nature of Breast Lesions in Women With Known Breast Cancer

RATIONALE: Diagnostic procedures, such as multifunctional magnetic resonance imaging, may help doctors learn the extent of disease and plan the best treatment.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well multifunctional magnetic resonance imaging works in predicting breast lesions in women undergoing mastectomy for breast cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • To determine the accuracy of multifunctional magnetic resonance (MR) in detecting, localizing, and characterizing satellite lesions in relation to an index breast tumor in order to improve definition of clinical target volume after local excision.

OUTLINE: Patients receive an injection of gadolinium chelate and undergo multifunctional magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, including dynamic contrast-enhanced MR, hydrogen-MR spectroscopy, and diffusion-weighted MRI, of the ipsilateral breast within 4 weeks before surgery. Patients undergo a mastectomy as planned. The resected specimen is photographed, and a histopathological analysis is performed consisting of the size and grade (if pre-invasive or invasive disease) of each satellite lesion, classification of benign satellite lesions, dimensions of each lesion, distance from the edge of the index tumor to the center of each satellite lesion, and the distance from the center of the surface of the nipple to the center of each lesion.

What participants receive

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

  • gadolinium-chelateDrug

  • conventional surgeryProcedure or surgery

  • magnetic resonance imagingProcedure or surgery

  • magnetic resonance spectroscopic imagingProcedure or surgery

What is being measured

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

  1. Sensitivity of magnetic resonance (MR) techniques in detecting histopathologically-identified multifocal and multicentric lesions

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Closeness of agreement between MR techniques and histopathology in localizing satellite lesions relative to the index tumor

  2. Assessment of distribution of satellite lesions in relation to index tumor

  3. Correlation between histopathological characteristics and signal changes on multifunctional MR

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing gadolinium-chelate, conventional surgery and magnetic resonance imaging in people with Breast Cancer, run by Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Aug 2013. 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 Kingdom. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Sensitivity of magnetic resonance (MR) techniques in detecting histopathologically-identified multifocal and multicentric lesions. 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 Aug 2013.
