About this study

This is a 2 Phase study. In the first phase of the study, patients with palpable invasive breast cancer underwent pre-operative supine MRI and optical scanning in the surgical position. In the second phase of the study, patients with non-palpable invasive breast cancer or DCIS who desire breast conservation will be randomized to either a usual care group, or a group receiving a supine MRI in addition to conventional imaging (mammogram and prone MRI) and undergoing breast cancer resection without the wire localization technique.

Read the detailed description

We propose to use a novel technique (optical scanning) to correlate the supine MRI image to the surgical position in the OR and then to confirm and extend the Japanese study described above. In the first phase of the study, 5-25 patients with palpable invasive breast cancer will undergo pre-operative supine MRI and optical scanning in the surgical position. The purpose of this phase will be ensure that the images created from the optical scanner-adjusted supine MRI images closely correspond to the location of the palpable tumors in these breasts. All patients will then have their tumor resected using the standard method of either palpation or image guided wire localization. The first phase has been completed.

In the second phase of the study, patients with non-palpable invasive breast cancer or DCIS who desire breast conservation will be randomized to either a usual care group, or a group receiving a supine MRI in addition to conventional imaging (mammogram and prone MRI) and undergoing breast cancer resection without the wire localization technique.

Our secondary objectives will be to determine:

  1. whether there are differences between the two groups in the volume of breast tissue removed.
  2. whether diagnostic information obtained from a supine MRI is equivalent to that obtained from the prone MRI.

What participants receive

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

  • Supine MRIDevice

    A limitation of MRI studies of the breast is that MRI exams are performed with the patient prone and the breasts in a pendant position, which is markedly different than the position of the breast when the patient is supine on the Operating Room table. The spatial information the surgeon receives from the prone MRI about the site of the tumor in the breast is hard to mentally translate into the actual site of the tumor in the breast of a supine patient prepared for surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. The Mean Distance Between the Image-defined and Palpation-defined Edges of the Tumor.

    Mean calculated from differences in precise distances from the nipple to the superior, inferior, medial and lateral edges of the tumor as determined from the adjusted MRI images and conventional MRI.

    Measured: From baseline MRI to intraoperative measurements: 30 days

  2. To Determine Whether the Addition of Supine MRI to Conventional Imaging With Mammography and Prone MRI Results in a Lower Positive Margin Rate in Patients Undergoing Breast-conserving Surgery.

    The primary analysis consists of computing the positive margin rate observed in the two groups and comparing them with a chi-squared test and finally comparing the proportion of patients with positive margins in the two groups based on study criteria.

    Measured: 30 days from surgery

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Differences Between the Two Groups in the Volume of Breast Tissue Removed

    The mean specimen volumes to be compared using t - statistics. The concordance between lesion volumes identified on the supine MRI images and the prone MRI images will be evaluated through correlation and regression analysis.

    Measured: 30 days from surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Supine MRI in people with Breast Cancer, run by Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical 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 10 inclusion and 6 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 Apr 2019. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 30 Apr 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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 Mean Distance Between the Image-defined and Palpation-defined Edges of the Tumor. (time frame: From baseline MRI to intraoperative measurements: 30 days). The study lists 2 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 30 Apr 2019.
