NCT ID NCT06058650

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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 tests whether molecular breast imaging (MBI) can guide biopsies for breast abnormalities that are hard to see on ultrasound or mammography. About 70 women with a prior MBI finding that turned out to be benign will undergo a new MBI-guided biopsy procedure. The goal is to see if MBI can accurately target the lesion and improve biopsy success.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Technetium Tc-99m Sestamibi
What this could lead to
If successful, this could make breast biopsies more accurate for lesions that are hard to see on standard imaging, potentially reducing missed cancers.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study (70 people) focused on workflow and accuracy, not on patient outcomes. The technique may not prove better than current methods or may be too slow for routine use.

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 70 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Inclusion Criteria: * PART I: Women aged 18 years or older * PART I: If able to become pregnant, negative pregnancy test within 48 hours prior to MBI biopsy procedure * PART I: Individuals who have previously (within the last 3 years) undergo an MBI study and were found to have at least one breast imaging finding on MBI that was subsequently shown (through additional imaging, biopsy or follow-up) to be benign in nature * PART I: Individuals who have agreed to participate in the study and who have signed the study-specific informed consent * PART II: Women aged 18 years or older * PART II: If able to become pregnant, negative pregnancy test within 48 hours prior to MBI biopsy procedure * PART II: Individuals who have previously (within the last 3 years) undergone an MBI study and were found to have at least one breast imaging finding on MBI that was subsequently shown (through additional imaging, biopsy or follow-up) to be benign or probably benign in nature * PART II: Individuals who had recent conventional imaging work-up including either x-ray mammography, ultrasound, MBI, or MRI of the breast and are found to have at least one breast imaging finding for which biopsy is required or recommended, specifically: * Individuals who have a breast abnormality(ies) on imaging with mammography, ultrasound, MBI, or MRI (as per American College of Radiology \[ACR\] Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System \[BIRADS\] 3, or higher) and requiring imaging follow-up or biopsy confirmation * PART II: Individuals who have agreed to participate in the study and who have signed study-specific informed consent Exclusion Criteria: * PART I: Women who are pregnant * PART I: Women who are currently lactating or discontinued breastfeeding \< 2 months prior to the study * PART I: Age less than 18 years * PART I: Women with breast implant(s) in the breast containing the lesion of interest * PART I: Inability to provide informed consent * PART II: Women who are pregnant * PART II: Women who are currently lactating or discontinued breastfeeding \< 2 months prior to the study * PART II: Age less than 18 years * PART II: Women with breast implant(s) in the breast containing the lesion of interest * PART II: Women who have recently (within the last 3 months) undergone biopsy of the breast finding * PART II: Women who are scheduled for a sentinel node procedure using radioactive Tc-99m within 24 hours of MBI-guided biopsy * PART II: Patients with contraindications for core biopsy and other invasive procedures such as blood coagulation disorders, infection, or who are unwilling to discontinue use of anticoagulant medication prior to the procedure * PART II: Inability to provide informed consent * PART II: Women who have had surgery on the study breast(s) within the past 12 months
