21DIF039 Trial Summary

This trial tests if MRI can accurately show tumors in the breast, to help create devices that guide surgeons to remove them. #breastcancer

Who is the study for?
This trial is for women over 18 with invasive breast cancer or ductal carcinoma in situ, where the tumor is at least 1 cm on mammogram/US. Participants must need a pre-op breast MRI and can consent to the study. It's not for those with severe claustrophobia, prior neoadjuvant chemotherapy for current diagnosis, contraindications to MRI or gadolinium contrast, history of NSF, sternotomy, pregnancy (confirmed by test if unsure), or poor kidney function.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests if a supine breast MRI after a standard prone MRI can help radiologists accurately outline tumor edges using an additional injection of gadolinium contrast. This could assist in creating a 3-D image of the tumor for developing surgical devices that aid in removing breast cancers.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions to gadolinium contrast such as nausea, headache, pain at injection site or allergic reactions. There might also be discomfort from lying still during the MRIs and anxiety related to being in an enclosed space.

Treatment Details

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
Difference in mean tumor-to-fibroglandular contrast ratio in prone compared to supine breast MRI
Secondary outcome measures
Evaluate tumor visualization and segmentability on supine breast MRI exam with additional contrast injection obtained immediately after prone contrast breast MRI, and compare to tumor visualization and segmentability on clinical prone breast MRI.
Other outcome measures
Evaluate time required for double contrast prone to supine exam compared to single contrast prone to supine exam.
