ShearWave™ Elastography of Breast Lesions in Chinese Patients (BE3)

December 18, 2018 updated by: SuperSonic Imagine

Assessment of ShearWave™ Elastography in the Ultrasonic Diagnosis of Breast Cancer in Chinese Patients

We aim to determine if adding ShearWave Elastography to a standard ultrasound breast exam can improve the characterization (classification) of breast lesions.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Detailed Description

Chinese women are known to have denser breasts than women in Western countries. Mammography cannot find abnormalities easily in denser breasts, while breast ultrasound is not affected by density. Adding elastography, a stiffness measurement, to a breast ultrasound exam should improve the diagnosis of a lesion.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Female

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Chinese women (age of majority) who have been referred to a hospital or clinical for a breast ultrasound evaluation.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • female
  • 18 years of age or older
  • known breast lesion that has not been managed or treated

  • referred for a breast ultrasound because of a breast mass found on at least one of the following examinations:

    • physical palpation
    • mammography
    • ultrasound exam
    • MRI

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Women who are unwilling or unable to provide informed consent
  • Women with breast implants
  • Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Women in whom all lesions are diagnostically categorized as BI-RADS 0, 1 or 6
  • Women with previous ipsilateral breast surgery
  • Women with no visible breast mass on ultrasound examination
  • Women with axillary metastatic lymph nodes only
  • Women with foreign body in the breast
  • Women who are not Chinese nationality

Design Details

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Increase in specificity of breast ultrasound imaging when considering stiffness measurements
Time Frame: Within 18 months of the study start date
Within 18 months of the study start date

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Change of sensitivity and negative predictive value of breast ultrasound imaging when considering stiffness measurements
Time Frame: Within 18 months of the study start date
Within 18 months of the study start date
Increase in positive predictive value for biopsy of breast ultrasound when considering stiffness measurements
Time Frame: within 18 months of the study start date
within 18 months of the study start date

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.

Study Completion (Actual)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit). The "anticipated" study completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the study completion date.
