New ultrasound technique may predict chemo success after just one dose
NCT ID NCT07623226
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a special ultrasound technique (super-resolution imaging) can predict if breast cancer will completely respond to chemotherapy after just one cycle. Researchers will enroll 150 women with invasive breast cancer scheduled for chemotherapy. The goal is to see if this imaging method can accurately identify which patients achieve a complete response, potentially allowing doctors to tailor treatment earlier.

Who is studied
This study will enroll female patients aged 18 to 75 years with histologically confirmed invasive breast cancer who are scheduled to receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) prior to surgery. Participants must have at least one measurable tumor lesion suitable for super-resolution ultrasound imaging. Patients with evidence of distant metastasis (Stage IV) or those who have received prior systemic therapy for the current cancer diagnosis will be excluded. The study aims to recruit approximately 150 participants from the Anhui Provincial Cancer Hospital. This population represents a typical cohort of locally advanced breast cancer patients undergoing standard NAC protocols.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria 1. Age and Gender: Female patients aged 18 to 75 years. 2. Diagnosis: Histologically confirmed invasive breast cancer via core needle biopsy. 3. Treatment Plan: Scheduled to receive standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy at our institution. 4. Imaging: The lesion is clearly visible on baseline ultrasound. Consent: Willing to participate in the study and sign the written informed consent form. Exclusion Criteria 1. Prior Treatment: History of any prior treatment for ipsilateral breast cancer (e.g., surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or targeted therapy). 2. Other Malignancies: Presence of other active malignancies. 3. Pregnancy/Lactation: Pregnant or breastfeeding women. 4. Health Status: Severe cardiac, hepatic, or renal insufficiency, or psychiatric disorders that preclude cooperation with the examination. 5. Image Quality: Poor ultrasound image quality that prevents SR-US analysis.
