What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study is testing whether a special type of mammogram called contrast-enhanced spectral mammography (CESM) can find breast cancers better than the standard 3D mammogram (digital breast tomosynthesis, or DBT) in women with dense breast tissue. About 2,000 women with dense breasts will get both types of mammograms at their regular screening visit and again one year later. The goal is to see if CESM catches more cancers and leads to fewer unnecessary call-backs.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
contrast-enhanced spectral mammography (CESM) with iodine-based contrast agent
What this could lead to
If successful, CESM could become a more accurate screening tool for women with dense breasts, detecting more cancers while reducing false alarms.
What could go wrong
This is a large but still early-stage comparison; CESM requires an injection of contrast dye, which carries a small risk of allergic reaction or kidney issues. The study only follows participants for one year, so long-term benefits are not yet known.

Inclusion Criteria: * 1\. Women must have mammographically dense breasts, ACR BI-RADS® lexicon categories c or d (heterogeneous or extreme fibroglandular tissue) on their most recent prior screening. * 2\. Women agree to not undergo whole breast screening ultrasound for the duration of the trial until the year 2 standard of care imaging. * 3\. Women must not have symptoms or signs of benign or malignant breast disease (e.g., bloody, or clear nipple discharge, breast lump, focal breast pain). * 4\. Women must be able to undergo intravenous (IV) administration of iodinated contrast (e.g., no contraindication to intravenous contrast administration for Omnipaque \[iohexol\], and no known allergy-like reaction to iodine or moderate or severe allergic reactions to one or more allergens as defined by the American College of Radiology \[ACR\]: https://www.acr.org/-/media/ACR/files/clinical-resources/contrast\_media.pdf). * 5\. Women must not be pregnant or breast-feeding. All females of childbearing potential who are uncertain if they could be pregnant or may be pregnant or as per local site standard of practice in women undergoing DBT and CESM must have a negative blood test or urine pregnancy test prior to Omnipaque (iohexol) administration. A female of childbearing potential is any woman, regardless of sexual orientation, sexual identity or whether they have undergone tubal ligation, who meets the following criteria: 1) has not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy; or 2) has not been naturally postmenopausal for at least 24 consecutive months (i.e., has had menses at any time in the preceding 24 consecutive months). * 6\. Women of childbearing potential must be strongly advised to use an accepted and effective method of contraception or to abstain from sexual intercourse for the following year until the Year 1 DBT and CESM studies are performed. Exclusion Criteria: * 1\. Women currently undergoing treatment for breast cancer, or planning surgery for a high-risk lesion (ADH, ALH, LCIS, papilloma, radial scar). * 2\. Women who have had the following are not eligible: 1. a mammogram less than 11 months prior to study entry. 2. screening breast ultrasound within 11 months prior to study entry. 3. breast MRI less than 36 months prior to study entry. 4. contrast-enhanced spectral mammography less than 36 months prior to study entry. 5. molecular breast imaging (MBI) less than 36 months prior to study entry. 6. breast prosthetic implants (silicone or saline). 7. suspected of being at high-risk for breast cancer, as defined by the ACS breast MR screening recommendations (lifetime risk of ≥20%-25%) unless they are unable to undergo an MRI. (Reference Appendix I) 8. a history of sickle cell disease. * 3\. Women with known or suspected renal impairment. Requirements for glomerular filtration rate (GFR) determination prior to IV iodinated contrast administration are determined by local site standard practice. Criteria that should be considered include, but are not limited to, the following: * Age \>60 years old * History of renal disease, including dialysis, kidney transplant, single kidney, renal cancer, and renal surgery * History of hypertension requiring medical therapy * History of diabetes mellitus * Use of metformin or metformin-containing drug combinations * 4\. Women who are pregnant, breast feeding, or planning to become pregnant from screening until 30 days after the last administration of Omnipaque (iohexol). * 5\. Large breasted women that require multiple images per standard view of the breast (Tiling) as determined by their most recent mammogram.
