Case Collection Study in the Evaluation of Doubling Time Rates in Non-Suspicious Breast Masses Using QT Ultrasound Technology (EVALUATE)

March 17, 2021 updated by: QT Ultrasound LLC

A Prospective Multi-center Case Collection Study of Breast Imaging Examinations From Women With Non-suspicious Breast Masses to Correlate the Calculated Mass Doubling Time Using Quantitative Transmission Ultrasound (QT Ultrasound) With Mass Histology.

This is a prospective case collection study to collect cases for subsequent statistical studies and future reader studies.

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.

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.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Observational

Enrollment (Actual)

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

Subjects with a non-suspicious breast mass will be recruited.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Female
  2. Age 18 or older
  3. Willing to receive QT Ultrasound Breast Scans
  4. Willing to undergo an ultrasound-guided needle breast biopsy if performed after enrollment in the study
  5. Willing and able to provide Informed Consent prior to any research-related procedure(s)
  6. Have an identified solid non-suspicious breast mass

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Pregnancy
  2. Currently breastfeeding
  3. Magnetic material in the chest which in the judgement of the Principal Investigator would interfere or be impacted by the magnets utilized with the study device.
  4. Not willing to provide information for primary care physician
  5. History of breast cancer
  6. History of treated or untreated cancer of a non-breast origin which in the judgment of the Principal Investigator would be a concern for metastatic disease to the breast
  7. Physical inability to tolerate the QT scan, i.e. inability to lie prone and still for up to 30 minutes at a time
  8. Open wounds, sores or skin rash present on the breast(s) or nipple discharge from the scanned breast(s)
  9. Breasts too large for scanner, i.e. bra size larger than DDD or inability to successfully "fit" breast after the subject is placed on scanner
  10. Body weight greater than 400 lbs. (180 kg)
  11. Concurrent disease or condition which in the judgment of the Principal Investigator disqualifies the subject from participating in the study

How is the study designed?

Design Details

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
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.
(2) QT Ultrasound scans prior to breast biopsy
Subjects will undergo a baseline QT scan, and a follow-up QT scan performed between 90 days and 180 days from their baseline QT Scan accompanied by a HHUS and ultrasound-guided breast biopsy following the first follow-up QT scan. BI-RADS will be confirmed by the radiologist at the time of the first HHUS. Subjects will receive a telephone follow-up contact approximately 2-3 business days after their ultrasound-guided breast biopsy to assess if any adverse events have occurred. Subjects will be asked to come back for an additional follow-up QT Scan 12 months from the time of their baseline QT Scan.
Diagnostic test: QT Ultrasound
All subjects will be asked to agree to an ultrasound-guided breast needle biopsy by a qualified radiologist experienced in this procedure if not already completed prior to study entry.
(0-1) QT Ultrasound scans prior to breast biopsy

Subjects that have not had (2) two QT Scans before their breast biopsy and who haven't yet had a breast biopsy will undergo an optional baseline QT scan accompanied by a HHUS and ultrasound-guided breast biopsy. BI-RADS will be confirmed by the radiologist. Subjects will receive a telephone follow-up contact approximately 2-3 business days after their ultrasound-guided breast biopsy to assess if any adverse events have occurred. Subjects will be asked to come back for a follow-up QT Scan between 90 and 180 days from the time of their study biopsy.

Subjects that have had a breast biopsy on their identified breast mass(es) prior to study enrollment and have not already had two (2) QT Scans will undergo an optional baseline QT scan if between 0 and 30 days from their breast biopsy.

Subjects will be asked to come back for a follow-up QT Scan 12 months from the time of their study biopsy.
Diagnostic test: QT Ultrasound
All subjects will be asked to agree to an ultrasound-guided breast needle biopsy by a qualified radiologist experienced in this procedure if not already completed prior to study entry.

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
Breast mass doubling time change
Time Frame: 90 days
The change in calculated mass doubling time using Quantitative Transmission Ultrasound (QT Ultrasound) from a minimum of two study timepoints will be measured and compared to mass histology.
90 days

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (ACTUAL)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be 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.
