OneMark Device for Breast Cancer
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests a new device called OneMark, designed to help doctors better visualize breast cancer during surgery and check-ups. The trial aims to determine if this device outperforms usual methods in surgeries and ongoing monitoring for breast cancer. It includes two groups: one undergoing surgery for early-stage breast cancer and the other in a monitoring program due to abnormal mammograms. The trial targets individuals with stage T1/T2 breast cancer visible by ultrasound or those with specific mammogram results, such as BI-RADS category 4 or 5. As an unphased trial, it offers participants the chance to contribute to innovative research that could enhance breast cancer detection and treatment.
Do I have to stop taking my current medications for the trial?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. However, if you have used another investigational drug or had neoadjuvant chemotherapy recently, you may not be eligible.
What prior data suggests that the OneMark device is safe for breast cancer surgery and surveillance?
Research on the OneMark device shows that it helps doctors detect breast cancer during surgery and monitoring. So far, no specific reports of safety issues with the OneMark device have emerged. This study is in a "Not Applicable" phase, focusing on the device's effectiveness rather than initial safety testing.
In trials like this, researchers usually check safety by monitoring for side effects or problems during device use. Common concerns for devices include how they feel when placed in the body or if they cause discomfort. However, the trial's phase suggests the device is expected to be reasonably safe for patients.
Overall, while detailed safety data isn't available yet, the trial's focus suggests that the OneMark device is thought to be well-tolerated. Discuss any concerns with a healthcare provider before deciding to join a trial.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial?
The OneMark Device is unique because it offers a new approach to breast cancer management by enhancing how doctors monitor and treat suspicious lesions and early-stage tumors. Unlike traditional methods like mammograms or biopsies, which can be invasive or less precise, the OneMark Device utilizes advanced ultrasound technology to accurately identify and track lesions that may be cancerous. This non-invasive device not only minimizes discomfort but also provides real-time data, potentially leading to earlier and more accurate interventions. Researchers are excited about the potential for this device to enhance early detection and improve surgical planning, ultimately aiming to boost outcomes for patients with breast cancer.
What evidence suggests that the OneMark device is effective for breast cancer?
Studies have shown that the OneMark device can help doctors see breast cancer more clearly. In this trial, participants will be divided into two groups: one will use the OneMark device during breast cancer surveillance, and the other during surgical resection. Research indicates that the OneMark device might make it easier to identify breast cancer spots, potentially avoiding unnecessary biopsies. For instance, many spots initially thought to be cancerous were later found to be benign after biopsy. By using OneMark, doctors aim to better determine which spots require further testing. Initial findings suggest this could lead to fewer unnecessary procedures and more accurate treatment planning.13678
