  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients presenting for prophylactic mastectomy.

Who may be able to join

  • Female
  • At least 18 years of age
  • Scheduled to receive a standard of care prophylactic mastectomy (or prophylactic bi-lateral mastectomy)
  • The patients' breast(s) to be included in the study are undiseased

  • The patient has implants in the breast(s) to be included in the study
  • The patient is currently pregnant or lactating
  • The patient has tissue markers implanted in the breast to be included in the study (unless these can be removed when creating a cavity in the ex vivo breast tissue)
  • The patient has had previous surgery on the breast(s) to be included in the study (unless study investigator determines that this will not affect the validity of data in this study)
  • The patient in participating in any other clinical study of a device or drug that may impact the participant safety of the validity of data acquired in this study

About this study

This is a single-arm, prospective study of a radiofrequency ablation device on the excised breast tissue of ten (10) prophylactic mastectomy patients. The ablation lesion created by the device will be analyzed histologically.

Read the detailed description

This study is a single-center, prospective, open label study of a radiofrequency ablation device. 10 patients who are scheduled to undergo prophylactic mastectomy will be recruited by the clinical investigators at the investigational site in accordance with the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Once the breast tissue is removed, the radiofrequency ablation device will be used on the ex vivo tissue to ablate a lesion around a cavity created in the tissue. The ablation lesion will be characterized. The study period per subject is the time it takes to assess the ablation lesion histologically.

Being tested
RFA

What participants receive

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

  • RFADevice

    Radiofrequency ablation of the cavity walls of a simulated lumpectomy in the excised prophylactic mastectomy tissue.

What is being measured

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

  1. Histologic measurement of cavitary ablation lesions created by the Innoblative radiofrequency ablation device in ex vivo breast tissue to correlate ablation size with ablation parameters.

    Histologic analysis of ablation depth around the cavity.

    Measured: Two weeks after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Prophylactic Mastectomy, run by Innoblative Designs, Inc..

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 5 inclusion and 7 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 14 Nov 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 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?

Histologic measurement of cavitary ablation lesions created by the Innoblative radiofrequency ablation device in ex vivo breast tissue to correlate ablation size with ablation parameters. (time frame: Two weeks after 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 14 Nov 2017.
