Can a risk score and MRI outsmart dense breasts?

NCT ID NCT07277738

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether adding an MRI to the yearly mammogram can help find breast cancer earlier in women with dense breasts. Participants will have a mammogram and a risk score calculated from it. Those with a high risk score will be offered an MRI. The goal is to see if this approach reduces cancers found between screenings or at a later stage.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Prognosia Breast (a mammogram-based risk algorithm) and MRI

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that using a risk score to select women for supplemental MRI reduces late-stage or interval breast cancers.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early feasibility study (78 participants) and not yet recruiting. The risk score may not accurately predict who benefits from MRI, and MRI can lead to false alarms or unnecessary biopsies.
