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 Any age
  • Women only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Unifocal primary invasive ductal breast carcinoma diagnosed by core needle biopsy. Patients with contralateral disease will remain eligible. Note: Results of ER, PR, HER-2/neu must be obtained on pre-registration needle core biopsy material.
  • Tumor size ≤ 2.0 cm in greatest diameter as measured by breast ultrasound, MRI and mammogram. The largest dimension measured will be used to determine eligibility.
  • Tumor enhancement on MRI
  • Tumor with <25% intraductal components in the aggregate.
  • Non-pregnant and non-lactating patients. Patients of childbearing potential must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test. NOTE: Peri-menopausal women must be amenorrheic for > 12 months to be considered not of childbearing potential.
  • Adequate breast size for safe cryoablation. Patients with breasts too small to allow safe cryoablation are not eligible as the minimal thickness of the breast tissue does not lend itself to cryoablation. NOTE: The minimal distance of tumor margins from the breast skin should be analogous to the surgical margins of a lumpectomy.

Who cannot join

  • Patients with multifocal and/or multicentric ipsilateral breast cancer, multifocal calcifications, or evidence of excessive DCIS.
  • History of rotational vacuum assisted core biopsies, en bloc open surgical biopsy and/or lumpectomy for diagnosis/treatment of the index breast cancer.
  • Prior or planned neoadjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer.
  • Patients with thrombocytopenia and or any other coagulation abnormality

What is being measured

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

  1. The rate of complete tumor ablation in patients treated with cryoablation, with complete tumor ablation defined as no remaining invasive or in-situ carcinoma present upon pathological examination of the surgical resection specimen

    Measured: One month

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Adverse events

    To describe the adverse events associated with cryoablation in these patients.

    Measured: One month

  2. Pain assessment

    To prospectively gather pain assessment data before and after cryoablation and after surgical resection in these patients

    Measured: One month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Ice-Sense3TM in people with Breast Carcinoma, run by IceCure Medical Ltd. at 1 site in Czechia.

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 6 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 6 Feb 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 Czechia. 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?

The rate of complete tumor ablation in patients treated with cryoablation, with complete tumor ablation defined as no remaining invasive or in-situ carcinoma present upon pathological examination of the surgical resection specimen (time frame: One month). 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 6 Feb 2015.
