About this study

Official title: A Feasibility Study of Radiofrequency Identification (RFID) Localization of Breast Lesions

This pilot clinical trial studies the use of the radiofrequency-guided localization in patients with abnormal breast tissue undergoing lumpectomy (a type of breast-sparing surgery). The radiofrequency identification localization system consists of an implantable radiofrequency identification tag and a hand-held radiofrequency reader to mark abnormal breast tissue before surgery and later surgically retrieve them. Radiofrequency-guided localization may make it easier to find and remove abnormal breast tissue during lumpectomy.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To obtain human clinical data in order to demonstrate that the Radiofrequency Identification (RFID) Localization System performs as intended as a localization device for marking and retrieving a surgical target in the breast.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To solicit feedback from the radiologists and surgeons regarding the process and use of the RFID system.

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo radiofrequency-guided localization comprising RFID tag placement before lumpectomy and interactive detection of tag using RFID reader during lumpectomy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Localization success, defined as the surgical target visualized in the removed specimen AND the RFID tag removed from the patient's breast

    Will be summarized using descriptive statistics, including total numbers, percentages, means, and proportions.

    Measured: At time of surgery

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Feedback solicited from the radiologist and surgeon

    Feedback solicited from the radiologist and surgeon will be summarized using qualitative methods. Each questionnaire will be reviewed for both positive and negative responses and summarized.

    Measured: Up to 12 months after lumpectomy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Lumpectomy, Questionnaire Administration and Radiofrequency-Guided Localization in people with Breast Neoplasm, run by Stanford University.

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 8 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Feb 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Localization success, defined as the surgical target visualized in the removed specimen AND the RFID tag removed from the patient's breast (time frame: At time 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 2 Feb 2017.
