In this study, personalized nudges to clinicians and patients will be evaluated to help increase breast cancer screening rates in accordance with USPSTF guidelines among women with a primary care visit, with a particular emphasis on those at high risk for non-completion of cancer screening. In partnership with Penn Medicine (Penn) and Case Western Reserve University-University Hospitals (UH), two complementary, concurrent, 6-month, cluster-randomized, pragmatic trials will be conducted. Those assigned to the intervention arm will receive the following clinician and patient level nudge interventions: clinicians will receive a default pended order for a mammogram in the visit encounter in the EHR (Penn and UH), and patients will receive post-visit text message reminders to encourage them to schedule their mammogram (Penn). Patients identified as high risk for noncompletion will be individually randomized to receive an additional bidirectional text message nudge or the standard text messaging (Penn).

Most physicians still use a one-size-fits-all approach to breast screening in which all women, regardless of their personal history, family history or genetics (except BRCA carriers) are recommended to have annual mammograms starting at age 40. Mammograms benefit women by detecting cancers early when they are easier to treat, but they are not perfect. Recent news stories have discussed some of the potential harms: large numbers of positive results that cause stressful recalls for additional mammograms and biopsies. With the current screening approach, half of the women who undergo annual screening for ten years will have at least one false positive biopsy. Potentially more important are cancer diagnoses for growths that might never come to clinical attention if left alone (called "overdiagnosis"). This can lead to unnecessary treatment. Even more concerning is evidence that up to 20% of breast cancers detected today may fall into the category of "overdiagnosis." This study compares annual screening with a risk-based breast cancer screening schedule, based upon each woman's personal risk of breast cancer. The investigators have designed the study to be inclusive of all, so that even women who might be nervous about being randomly assigned to receive a particular type of care (a procedure that is typical in clinical studies) will still be able to participate by choosing the type of care they receive. For participants in the risk-based screening arm, each woman will receive a personal risk assessment that includes her family and medical history, breast density measurement and tests for genes (mutations and variations) linked to the development of breast cancer. Women who have the highest personal risk of developing breast cancer will receive more frequent screening, while women with a lower personal risk would receive less frequent screening. No woman will be screened less than is recommended by the USPSTF breast cancer screening guidelines. If this study is successful, women will gain a realistic understanding of their personal risk of breast cancer as well as strategies to reduce their risk, and fewer women will suffer from the anxiety of false positive mammograms and unnecessary biopsies. The investigators believe this study has the potential to transform breast cancer screening in America.

In this study, 50 women with either HER2+ or triple negative metastatic breast cancer but no known brain metastases will be recruited at the Sunnybrook Odette Cancer Centre. They will be randomized to undergo either routine MRI screening of their brain every 4 months for 1 year or standard-of-care (MRI only if symptoms of brain metastases develop). Patients will complete questionnaires about quality of life and cancer-related anxiety throughout the study. To determine why some cancers spread to the brain and others do not, blood samples will be collected to analyze the genetic makeup of patients' breast cancers. Finally, a novel MRI imaging technique that detects abnormal metabolism in the brain will be used to help detect brain metastases even earlier than the standard MRI. If results are promising, we will conduct a large multi-centre randomized trial to determine whether screening for brain metastases can help them live longer with improved quality of life.

In this study, personalized nudges to clinicians and patients will be evaluated to help increase breast cancer screening rates in accordance with USPSTF guidelines among women with a primary care visit. In partnership with Penn Medicine (Penn) and Case Western Reserve University-University Hospitals (UH), two complementary, concurrent 6-month, cluster randomized, pragmatic trials were conducted from December 2023 to October 2024. This trial will now replicate those interventions at Lancaster General Health (LGH), incorporating learnings from the primary trials while also adapting to align with existing health system protocols and policies. The patient nudge interventions include pre- and post-visit text message reminders to encourage the patient to schedule their mammogram, and the clinician nudge intervention includes a Smart Data Element message in the electronic health record (EHR) reminding the care team that the patient is overdue and that patients are more likely to complete their screening if recommended and ordered by their clinician.

Medicare Annual Wellness Visits (AWVs) are critical for addressing preventive care needs among older adults, yet the most recent estimates from the Center for Medicare Services suggest less than 50% of eligible patients take advantage of this free healthcare benefit. Behavioral science-informed messaging interventions offer a promising strategy to increase AWV participation by guiding patient behavior. In this study, investigators will evaluate a health system initiative that utilizes personalized email and text messages to encourage Medicare beneficiaries to schedule and attend their AWVs. This approach aims to boost patient engagement in preventive health services, ultimately improving care outcomes for older adult populations

This study aims to assess the effectiveness of Contrast-Enhanced Mammography (CEM)as an alternative to traditional ultrasound for breast cancer screening in women with dense breasts and a personal history of breast cancer. CEM combines standard mammography with a contrast agent to better detect tumors, particularly in women with dense tissue where traditional mammograms may miss signs of cancer. The study will compare CEM with ultrasound and MRI to determine its accuracy in detecting cancer, reduce wait times for screening, and provide a more affordable option than MRI. Women who participate will have their screening done in one visit, improving convenience and access. The study will track cancer detection rates, biopsy results, and patient satisfaction over two years to evaluate the benefits of CEM for early breast cancer detection.

Accurate risk assessment is essential for the success of population screening programs and early detection efforts in breast cancer. Mirai is a new deep learning model based on full resolution mammograms. Mirai is a mammography-based deep learning model designed to predict risk at multiple timepoints, leverage potentially missing risk factor information, and produce predictions that are consistent across mammography machines. Mirai was trained on a large dataset from Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) in the United States and found to be significantly more accurate than the Tyrer-Cuzick model, a current clinical standard. The primary aim of this study is to prospectively quantify the clinical benefit (i.e. MRI/CEM cancer detection rate) of Mirai-based guidelines and to compare them to the current standard of care. 1. Conduct a prospective study where patients who are identified as high risk by Mirai guidelines are invited to receive supplemental MRI within 12 months. 2. Compare cancer outcomes between patients only identified as high risk by Mirai and patients identified as high risk by existing guidelines The secondary aim is to study the impact of new guidelines by race and ethnicity, to ensure equitable improvements in cancer screening.

One method of breast cancer screening involves radiologists reading digital tomosynthesis (DBT) images. DBT consists of a 3D stack of x-ray "slices" through the breast. The exam is accompanied by a 2D image like a standard mammogram, a single x-ray of the breast. In a screening setting, most cases are normal. Sometimes it is obvious that a case is normal from a quick look at the 2D image. It would speed up the process of screening if readers could dismiss a clearly normal case on the basis of the 2D image, alone, without looking at the DBT images. Obviously, the investigators would only want to "triage" cases in this way if the investigators were almost perfectly sure that no cancers would be missed. In this study, the investigators look at radiologist's willingness to triage cases and on the accuracy of their answers. In addition, the investigators ask about the impact of an Artificial Intelligence (AI) opinion. Would it be possible to triage an image on the basis of the AI opinion, alone? Radiologists will look at each case for up to five seconds and offer an opinion (on a 1-10 scale) about how sure they are that a case is normal. Next, they will see the opinion of the AI. Finally, they will say (using a 1-10) scale, how willing they would be for the AI to triage this case without human intervention. This study is the start of an effort to understand the conditions under which radiologists might be willing to declare a case "normal" with little or no human examination.

Objective: The "Bexa Breast Exam," or "BBE," for the purposes of this study is defined as the use of a Bexa device in conjunction with a portable, focused ultrasound examination to identify and further evaluate abnormal breast masses including cancer. Commercially, this combination of Bexa plus focused ultrasound is called "Bexa Breast ExamTM," and abbreviated as, "BBE." This study compares the Bexa Breast Exam (BBE) to the standard of care (digital breast tomosynthesis) in detecting masses and as a breast cancer early detection examination. The specific objectives are: 1. To measure the sensitivity and specificity of BBE as compared to digital breast tomosynthesis in the general population of women over 30 without a history of breast cancer. 2. To measure the sensitivity and specificity of BBE as compared to digital breast tomosynthesis identifying breast masses including cancer in women with dense breasts. 3. To demonstrate the proportion of women receiving a BBE that require additional imaging studies. Hypothesis: The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that the Bexa Breast Examination's sensitivity and specificity in identifying abnormal breast masses is comparable to the current accepted standard of care, mammography with tomosynthesis.

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare patient-centered outcomes when 3D screening mammograms are interpreted with versus without a leading FDA-cleared AI decision-support tool in real-world U.S. settings and to assess patient's perspectives on AI in medicine. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Will AI use be associated with an increase in cancer detection and an initially higher recall rate as radiologists start using AI, followed by a recall rate comparable to that without AI (no more than 1.5 percentage-points higher) after a learning curve period? Will AI use will be associated with lower rates of missed breast cancers and similar rates of false alarms after a learning curve period? 2. Will improved patient outcomes with AI be most pronounced for exams on women who are White, older, and have less dense breasts, and on baseline exams? Will AI aid patient outcomes when the interpretation is by radiologists with less clinical experience, lower annual interpretive volume, and less tolerance of ambiguity? Yet, will there be greater automation bias (the tendency for humans to defer to a computer algorithms' results) noted among these radiologists? 3. What are patients' perspectives on AI in mammography, including their confidence in breast cancer screening when interpreted with vs. without AI? What are patients' perspectives on the importance of the study results? Researchers will compare patient-centered outcomes when 3D screening mammograms are interpreted with versus without a leading FDA-cleared AI decision-support tool in real-world U.S. settings. This trial will include all adult patients undergoing 3D mammography breast cancer screening at imaging facilities across University of California at Los Angeles and University of Washington health systems and all radiologists interpreting breast cancer screening. All screening mammograms at these facilities will be randomized to either intervention (radiologist with AI support) versus usual care (radiologist alone) to see if interpreting these mammograms with the AI tool's assistance improves patient outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Breast Cancer Screening clinical trials pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Breast Cancer Screening clinical trials work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Breast Cancer Screening trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Breast Cancer Screening is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Breast Cancer Screening medical study?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Breast Cancer Screening clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Contrast-Enhanced Mammography for Breast Cancer, AI Tool for Breast Cancer Screening and EHR-Nudges for Breast Cancer Screening to the Power online platform.
