What participants receive

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

  • Brevera Breast Biopsy SystemDevice

    The Brevera Breast Biopsy System with CorLumina imaging technology is a vacuum-assisted biopsy device, which is used to remove breast tissue in a minimally invasive manner using stereotactic or tomosynthesis imaging. A breast biopsy is a test that removes tissue or sometimes fluid from the suspicious area. The removed cells are examined under a microscope and further tested to check for the presence of breast cancer. A biopsy is a diagnostic procedure that can definitely determine if the suspicious area is cancerous.

What is being measured

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

  1. Procedural Time

    Total time elapsed between from when the subject enters the procedure room until she has left the procedure room.

    Measured: Through study completion, enrollment expected to take up to 6-10 months at each site - Data collected from day of Breast Biopsy Procedure Only

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Post-biopsy Complication Rates

    Adverse event rates.

    Measured: Through study completion, enrollment expected to take up to 6-10 months at each site - Data collected from day of Breast Biopsy Procedure Only

  2. Average Number of Cores Per Lesion

    The average number of cores obtained for each lesion across all sites.

    Measured: Through study completion, enrollment expected to take up to 6-10 months at each site - Data collected from day of Breast Biopsy Procedure Only

  3. Percentage of Procedures With Overall Positive Opinion From Radiologist, Technologist, and Patient

    The radiologists, technologists, and patients participating in this study were asked to provide feedback on the Brevera Biopsy System at the completion of each procedure. Their responses (raw scores) were reported and converted to percentage of procedures with overall positive opinions. The scale goes from 0% (poor/negative opinion) to 100% (excellent/positive opinion).

    Measured: Through study completion, enrollment expected to take up to 6-10 months at each site - Data collected from day of Breast Biopsy Procedure Only

What does the primary outcome measure?

Procedural Time (time frame: Through study completion, enrollment expected to take up to 6-10 months at each site - Data collected from day of Breast Biopsy Procedure Only). 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.
