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

  • Postmenopausal state
  • Histological diagnosis of breast invasive ductal carcinoma with receptor profiles obtained
  • MRI visible breast lesion
  • Unifocal cancer, less than 1.5 cm in maximum diameter (clinical stage T1), with no evidence of extensive in situ cancer surrounding the main tumor; the eligibility will be determined by the MR imaging appearance of the tumor; if the tumor (proven invasive ductal carcinoma) is a unifocal mass without additional enhancement, it will be judged eligible; however, if the tumor is associated with additional enhancement and/or a satellite focus, it will not judged ineligible, as these are signs of additional in situ or invasive cancer
  • Clinical stage N0 (no metastatic axillary lymph node on physical examination or imaging work-up)
  • Ability to give informed consent

Who cannot join

  • Previous surgery or radiation for the ipsilateral breast cancer
  • Presence of any condition (e.g., metal implant, shrapnel) not compatible with MRI
  • Tumor located less than 1 cm from the skin or the pectoralis muscle

About this study

Official title: A Pilot Study to Evaluate Magnet Resonance Thermal Imageguided Interstital Thermal Therapy for Focal Ablation of Breast Cancer

This pilot clinical trial studies magnetic resonance thermal image guided laser interstitial thermal therapy in treating patients with breast cancer. Magnetic resonance thermal image guided laser interstitial thermal therapy may be able to kill tumor cells by heating up the tumor cells without affecting the surrounding tissue

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To evaluate the procedural success rate of using the Visualase magnetic resonance (MR)-guided laser system to target, access, thermally monitor, and focally ablate MR-visible breast cancer lesions.
  2. To obtain preliminary data on ablative success using pathologic assessment for specimen excised subsequent to the ablation.

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo MR-thermal image guided laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) over 1 hour.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 3-7 days.

Being tested
magnetic resonance thermal imaging, laser interstitial thermal therapy
Medical subject headings
Carcinoma, Intraductal, Noninfiltrating, Carcinoma, Ductal, Breast, Breast Neoplasms

Receives: Procedure: magnetic resonance thermal imaging; Procedure: laser interstitial thermal therapy

What is being measured

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

  1. Frequency of not completing the procedure due to patient's discomfort

    Measured: Up to 7 days

  2. Observed thermal damage on skin

    Moderate degree of skin burn which requires medical intervention will be considered side effects for stopping purposes.

    Measured: Up to 7 days

  3. Grade 3 or 4 toxicities assessed by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Toxicity Criteria (CTC)

    Measured: Up to 7 days

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Amount of tumor necrosis

    Measured: Up to 7 days

  2. Amount of viable tumor

    Measured: Up to 7 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing magnetic resonance thermal imaging and laser interstitial thermal therapy in people with Ductal Breast Carcinoma in Situ and Invasive Ductal Breast Carcinoma, run by University of Chicago 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 6 inclusion and 3 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Oct 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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Frequency of not completing the procedure due to patient's discomfort (time frame: Up to 7 days). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 15 Oct 2014.
