Trial summary

Breast tumors are normally seen with mammography or ultrasound without the use of a dye but the size and extent of the tumor may be hard to see. Currently, after initial mammography, many patients undergo bilateral breast MR to further stage the local tumor. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 21 years and older
  • Women only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Women with newly diagnosed unilateral breast cancer proven through core biopsy or FNA who are planned to have (preoperative) MRI within 30 days of DE CEDM to assess extent of disease/multifocality. (All women will have bilateral digital mammography as per standard of care.) The preoperative MRI will be based on the surgeon's recommendation.
  • Both breasts are present.
  • Women consenting to a bilateral DE CEDM examination.

Who cannot join

  • Women under 21.
  • Women who have already had a lumpectomy. (Index lesion has been removed and therefore, not evaluable for the purpose of this study.)
  • Women undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy, hormone treatment, or radiation therapy.
  • Known pregnancy.
  • Women who have a contraindication to the intravenous use of iodinated or gadolinium-chelated contrast agent.
  • Women with breast implants.

  • Women with pacemakers.
  • Women with aneurysm clips that don't allow for MRI.
  • Women too claustrophobic to undergo MRI.

About this study

Official title: Dual Energy Contrast Enhanced Digital Mammography for the Detection and Preoperative Staging of Breast Cancer

Breast tumors are normally seen with mammography or ultrasound without the use of a dye but the size and extent of the tumor may be hard to see. Currently, after initial mammography, many patients undergo bilateral breast MR to further stage the local tumor. It is able to not only detect anatomic abnormalities but can also evaluate changes such as the development of new blood vessels, which occurs with the development of cancers. MRI is extremely sensitive and detects unsuspected disease in up to 25% of patients, which affects their treatment. It also detects unsuspected cancer in the other breast in some patients.

However, MRI is expensive, not always available, and some patients are unable to undergo MRI due to the presence of pacemakers, clips, or claustrophobia. Dual Energy Contrast Enhanced Digital Mammography (DE CEDM) is an investigational procedure that uses a non-standard contrast in a regular digital mammography exam that has been changed to give the needed dual energy and image. DE CEDM is not FDA approved. It is our hope that DE CEDM will also be able to detect unknown tumors because it will also detect new blood vessels. It is less expensive than MRI, could be more available to patients, and can be done on patients with pacemakers and clips. Claustrophobia will not be a problem. We plan to see if (DE CEDM) will help us better see the breast tumor and size of the breast tumor. We will also want to see if DE CEDM can detect additional unsuspected disease in the breast with the known tumor and in the other breast without a known tumor.

What participants receive

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

  • Dual Energy Contrast Enhanced Digital Mammography (DE CEDM)Procedure or surgery

    Each patient will have: Bilateral digital mammography, Bilateral Breast MRI, Bilateral Contrast Enhanced Digital Mammography. The latter examination is the only change in patient management. An additional contrast injection is involved. Results of the DE CEDM will be compared with routine digital mammography and breast MRI. The reference standard is pathology. If surgery is to be done; every attempt will be made to perform all imaging exams within 30 days.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Dual Energy Contrast Enhanced Digital Mammography (DE CEDM)ExperimentalIn this study we will perform Dual Energy Contrast Enhanced Digital Mammography (DE CEDM) on patients with newly diagnosed breast cancer using a dedicated research system, derived from a standard digital mammography unit and review workstation (Senographe DS and SenoAdvantage) modified to deliver the required dual energy paired exposures and visualization of combined images.
Receives: Procedure: Dual Energy Contrast Enhanced Digital Mammography (DE CEDM)

What is being measured

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

  1. To estimate additional measures of accuracy of DE CEDM and MRI, such as the predictive values and ROC curves where applicable, for detecting multifocal or multicentric disease in the ipsilateral breast.

    Every attempt will be made to perform all imaging exams All examinations will be completed within 30 days of scheduled surgery

    Measured: within 3 weeks of each other and within 30 days of surgery

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. To compare the sensitivity and specificity of DE CEDM with that of breast MRI in the detection of disease in the contralateral breast.

    Every attempt will be made to perform all imaging exams All examinations will be completed within 30 days of scheduled surgery

    Measured: within 3 weeks of each other and within 30 days of surgery

  2. To estimate the interobserver variability of DE CEDM.

    Every attempt will be made to perform all imaging exams All examinations will be completed within 30 days of scheduled surgery

    Measured: within 3 weeks of each other and within 30 days of surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Dual Energy Contrast Enhanced Digital Mammography (DE CEDM) in people with Breast Cancer, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center 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 3 inclusion and 9 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 30 Sep 2015. 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?

To estimate additional measures of accuracy of DE CEDM and MRI, such as the predictive values and ROC curves where applicable, for detecting multifocal or multicentric disease in the ipsilateral breast. (time frame: within 3 weeks of each other and within 30 days of surgery). 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 30 Sep 2015.
