January 14, 2020 updated by: Transonic Imaging, Inc.

A Prospective, Single-Center, Feasibility Study Assessing the Safety and Performance of the Multi-Modal UltraSound Tomography (MUST) Device in Identifying Malignant Breast Lesions as an Adjunct to Mammography

This is a single-center, pilot study being conducted to evaluate the safety and performance of the investigational device (MUST) in detecting malignant lesions in breast tissue.

Study Overview

Status

Status

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

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

This is a single-center, prospective, pilot study in which all enrolled subjects will receive the same screening mammography procedures (i.e., 3D mammography plus MUST).

Subjects will have between 1 and 4 clinic visits. The number of visits will be based upon the mammography and MUST findings, and whether additional procedures, such as MRI, biopsy, or a repeat MUST are warranted.

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.

Enrollment (Anticipated)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.
1333

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.

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

36 years to 70 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

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
Number of subjects with true positive (malignant) breast lesions confirmed by biopsy
Time Frame: 14 days
Sensitivity of MUST plus mammography versus mammography alone
14 days
Number of subjects with false positive (benign) breast lesions confirmed by biopsy
Time Frame: 14 days
Specificity of MUST plus mammography versus mammography alone
14 days

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
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of true positive and false positive breast lesions categorized by BI-RADS breast density category as determined by the screening mammogram
Time Frame: 14 days
Assess the sensitivity and specificity by BI-RADS breast density category as determined by the Visit 1 mammogram, for MUST plus mammography vs mammography alone
14 days
For subjects who undergo biopsy, comparison of MUST results with biopsy results
Time Frame: 60 days
In the subpopulation of subjects who undergo biopsy, the concordance of MUST with biopsy will be estimated
60 days
For subjects test positive on mammography (initial BI-RADS score of 0 followed by an additional imaging BI-RADS score of 4 or 5) who undergo biopsy, comparison of MUST and MRI results with biopsy results
Time Frame: 60 days
In the subpopulation of subjects who test positive on mammography (BI-RADS score of 4 or 5) and have a biopsy, sensitivity and specificity will be assessed and compared between MUST and MRI and biopsy results
60 days
Number of subjects with true positive and false positive breast lesions at the 6 month follow up (if applicable) and the 12 month follow up phone call.
Time Frame: 12 months
The co-primary endpoint of overall sensitivity and specificity will be reassessed after subjects have had the opportunity to complete the Month 6 MUST re-evaluation visit, if applicable, and again when all subjects have had the opportunity to complete the Month 12 follow-up phone call to identify events of interval cancer for MUST plus mammography as well as MUST alone
12 months
Listing of adverse events experienced by subjects
Time Frame: 6 months
Evaluate the safety of the MUST device by evaluating the adverse event profile
