About this study

A prospective, multicenter study:

  • Primary objective: to assess the diagnostic yield of screening MRI compared to physical examination, mammography or ultrasonography in the detection of recurrence in patients treated with breast conserving therapy
  • Secondary objective: to describe the size, type, grade, and nodal status of cancers seen only on MRI and to estimate the rate of benign biopsies and short interval follow-up induced only by MRI in this population.
Read the detailed description
  • Patients treated with breast conserving therapy will be followed for recurrence in the ipsilateral or contralateral breast by physical examination every six month and imaging studies performed annually.
  • The imaging including mammography, physician-performed bilateral whole breast ultrasonography and a dynamic breast MRI with gadolinium-containing contrast medium will be performed according to a standard protocol. Interpretation will be conducted independently and classified according to the Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) by experienced radiologists.
  • Definitive information about the presence of malignancy will be obtained by biopsy directed by the imaging method best depicting the lesion with 14-g or 11-g needle devices or needle localized excision. The absence of breast cancer was determined by means of biopsy, the absence of positive findings on repeat imaging and clinical examination, or both at follow-up.
  • After three rounds of annual screening, the diagnostic yield of screening MRI compared to physical examination, mammography or ultrasonography will be assessed.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Neoplasms and Neoplasm Recurrence, Local, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 10 inclusion and 4 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 20 Apr 2016. 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 South Korea. 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?

Diagnostic yield of screening breast MRI (time frame: Three years after the first screening MRI). 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 20 Apr 2016.
