About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Randomized, Multi-Center Clinical Study Comparing Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Prosthetic, Acellular Dermal Matrix (ADM) Assisted, Immediate Post-Mastectomy Breast Reconstruction

Evaluation and comparison of clinical and aesthetic outcomes associated with the use of two allograft dermal matrices (ADMs) currently in use for tissue assisted immediate post-mastectomy breast reconstruction.

Read the detailed description

This is a level one, prospective, randomized, controlled multi-center clinical study comparing two types of acellular dermal matrices (ADMs) currently used in immediate post-mastectomy prosthetic breast reconstruction. Comparison of these two ADMs will be made in the areas of reconstructive clinical outcomes and aesthetic outcomes. Patients will be randomized into one of two ADM groups as part of their immediate post-mastectomy breast reconstruction. Patients in both groups will be followed for twelve months after their reconstructive surgery. Clinical outcomes will be documented at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months following breast reconstructive surgery. For one-stage breast reconstruction, aesthetic outcomes will be assessed and documented at 6 and 12 months following implant placement. For two-stage reconstruction, patients will be evaluated for aesthetic outcomes at a time point 6-12 months following expander-to-implant exchange if it does not coincide with the 12 month post-mastectomy visit.

Being tested
FlexHD ADM (Cohort A), AlloDerm RTU ADM (Cohort B)

What is being measured

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

  1. Post Reconstruction Complication Rates

    To compare the overall complication rate between the cohorts defined as either 1) post-operative infection specific to the reconstructed breast(s) requiring either intravenous antibiotic treatment or operative intervention, 2) seroma, and/or 3) reconstructive failure

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Comparison of Each Complication Rate

    To compare each complication rate between the cohorts defined as 1) post-operative infection specific to the reconstructed breast(s) requiring either intravenous antibiotic treatment or operative intervention 20 seroma 3) reconstructive failure and 4) reoperation for reasons other than infection

    Measured: 12 months

  2. Comparison of Aesthetic Outcomes (Photographs)

    A blinded comparison of aesthetic outcomes (photographs) using pre-defined criteria

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing FlexHD ADM (Cohort A) and AlloDerm RTU ADM (Cohort B) in people with Breast Reconstruction, run by Musculoskeletal Transplant Foundation at 7 sites 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 5 inclusion and 11 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Sep 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Post Reconstruction Complication Rates (time frame: 12 months). 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 19 Sep 2018.
