Contrast Enhanced Spectral Mammography With Digital Breast Tomosynthesis For Patients With Newly Diagnosed Breast Cancer

November 16, 2021 updated by: University of Southern California

Emerging Tools in the Detection of Breast Cancer: Comparison of Contrast Enhanced Spectral Mammography With Digital Breast Tomosynthesis to Conventional Imaging Techniques Including Contrast Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging and 2D Mammography With or Without Targeted Ultrasound

This pilot clinical trial studies how well contrast enhanced spectral mammography works with digital breast tomosynthesis in imaging patients with newly diagnosed breast cancer. Contrast enhanced spectral mammography uses a special dye that is injected into the veins before mammogram images are taken. Digital breast tomosynthesis uses multiple x-ray pictures to produce a 3-dimensional rendering of the entire breast. Contrast enhanced spectral mammography with digital breast tomosynthesis may highlight areas of concern within the breast in more detail than a standard mammogram and improve the accuracy of tumor size.

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.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To compare the index lesion size (the largest diameter) from each of the four readings (standard of care 2 dimensional [D], magnetic resonance imaging [MRI], contrast enhanced spectral mammography [CESM], 3D) to gold standard index lesion size from surgical pathology (the largest diameter).

II. To document the additional ipsilateral and contralateral breast cancer lesions detected by the MRI, CESM, and 3D readings listed above.

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo a clinical breast examination and a diagnostic mammogram with or without targeted breast ultrasound to the index cancer as part of their standard of care preoperative work-up. As part of the research study, patients receive contrast agent intravenously (IV) and then undergo a CESM with digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) over 30 minutes. Patients also receive a contrast agent, gadolinium, IV and undergo bilateral breast contrast enhanced (CE)-MRI over 10 minutes.

After completion of study, patients are followed up within 24-96 hours.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

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
Measure Description
Time Frame
Index lesion size using the largest diameter
Time Frame: Baseline
Intra-class correlation will be used to assess the agreement of index lesion size from each imaging reading to the gold standard (histopathology at surgery). Bland-Altman plot will be used to illustrate the pattern of difference between each reading and the gold standard.
