About this study

Mammography is used for screening, diagnosis, therapeutic evaluation and monitoring of local cancer breast.

It is sometimes poorly tolerated by some patients who complain of an uncomfortable examination or pain.

Breast compression by the manipulator aims to reduce the thickness of the breast during mammography; This act is an important factor of pain or discomfort felt by the patient. But, it is also an image quality factor.

This study aimed to compare self-breast compression by the patient to the compression standard technique carried out by the manipulator.

Study groups in NCT02866591
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Arm AExperimentalPatients have a mammography performed by themselves according to auto-compression procedure. The radiologist leads the compression at a minimum threshold of 40 Newton, then leaves the control of the compression to the patient. The radiologist treats only the positioning of the breast on the sensor.
Receives: Other: mammography according to an auto-compression procedure; Other: questionary
Arm BActive comparatorPatients have a mammography performed by the radiologist according to standard procedure.
Receives: Other: mammography according to a standard procedure; Other: questionary

What is being measured

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

  1. Comparison of two breast compression techniques (auto-compression versus standard procedure) in mammography

    The comparison will be evaluated by the thickness (mm) of breast compressed

    Measured: 1 day

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Overall tolerance of mammography

    The overall tolerance of mammography will be assessed by the patient after 4 shots. The pain felt by the patient will be assessed using a visual analog scale.

    Measured: 1 day

  2. Breast compression force

    Value measured on compressive force console (Newtons)

    Measured: 1 day

  3. Thickness / compressing force ratio

    Measured: 1 day

  4. Image quality

    The image quality will be assessed by the radiologist with a quotation of motion blurring on a 4-point scale

    Measured: 1 day

  5. Overall assessment of the manipulator

    The appreciation of the manipulator will be assessed using a 4-point scale

    Measured: 1 day

  6. Overall assessment of self-satisfaction of the patient at the end of the examination

    The measurement of patient satisfaction will be evaluated using a self-administered Norwegian questionnaire (MammoGraphy Questionnaire)

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing mammography according to an auto-compression procedure, mammography according to a standard procedure and questionary in people with Breast Cancer, run by Institut de Cancérologie de Lorraine at 6 sites in France.

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 8 Aug 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in France. 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?

Comparison of two breast compression techniques (auto-compression versus standard procedure) in mammography (time frame: 1 day). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02866591, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 8 Aug 2018.
