Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Cumulative number of all Serious Adverse Events
Cumulative number of Serious Adverse Events collected throughout the study and associated with the REGENERA implant device (Adverse Device Effects)
Secondary Outcome Measures
Measurement of changes in breast appeareance before and after surgery through antropomorphic chest parameters
Assess breast appearance before and after surgery with photo and chest measurement. In particular, the following measures, in cm, will be evaluated: sternal notch to nipple (SN), nipple to inframammary fold (NF), nipple to sternum (NM), the areola diameter and the ptosis grade.
Measurement of the reduction of reliability of the currently used diagnostic imaging techniques
Assess the potential interference with current, standard- of-care imaging techniques by evaluation of the following factors: (1) for ultrasound, the possible attenuation of the acoustic beam preventing the visualization of the tissue behind the implant; (2) for magnetic resonance imaging, possible creation, caused by the implant, of images mimicking a pre-invasive or invasive lesion.
Patient Quality of Life measured through Breast-Q questionnaire
Measure changes in patient's Quality of Life (QoL) and satisfaction through Breast-Q™ questionnaire (pre- and post-operative Breast Conserving Therapy (BCT) module version 2.0) after surgery versus baseline (prior implantation surgery).
Breast-Q™ questionnaire includes 7 scales measuring (i) breast satisfaction, (ii) psychosocial well-being, (iii) physical breast well-being, (iv) sexual well-being, (v) patient experience satisfaction with the surgeon, (vi) patient experience satisfaction with the medical equip and (vii) patient experience satisfaction with the hospital staff. Each scale is evaluated by defined questions where the patient has to answer by a numeric scale. For example: "1", "non of the time"; "2", "a little of the time"; "3", some of the time; "4", "most of the time"; "5", "all of the time". Once the questions are answered, a conversion table is applied to convert the raw scale summed score into a score from 0 (worst) to 100 (best).
Patient pain measurement through a Visual Analogue Scale
Assess pain intensity with a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) at each study visit. The VAS measure will be made through a cross (X) that the patient has to put along a bar. The left margin of the bar corresponds to "no pain" (0 score) and the right margin to "worst pain" (10 score).
Measure of the Investigator's satisfaction on the implantation procedure, through a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and an ad-hoc questionnaire
Assess investigator's satisfaction on the implantation procedure, through a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and an ad-hoc questionnaire (developed by the Sponsor), and on the REGENERA performance, through a VAS scale.
The VAS measure will be made through a cross (X) that the patient has to put along a bar. The left margin of the bar corresponds to "no pain" (0 score) and the right margin to "worst pain" (10 score).
The ad-hoc questionnaire has a unique scale made of 5 levels (1 corresponds to "strongly disagree" and 5 corresponds to "strongly agree") to be used for each question. As there are 12 questions, 12 is the minimum score and 60 is the maximum score as a sum of all answers.
Cumulative number of all Adverse Events associated with the surgical procedure
Cumulative number of all Adverse Events associated with the surgical procedure: number of re-operations and / or explants due to seroma, hematoma, infection, wound dehiscence, skin retraction, acute inflammatory reactions, allergic reactions to the device, persistent pain.

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this First-in-Human pilot study is to evaluate the safety and performance of REGENERA breast implant in a selected cohort of patients with non- malignant breast lesions treated with excision or lumpectomy in whom the tissue removed is replaced by REGENERA.
Detailed Description
This is a pre-market, single center, interventional, open label, non-comparative, pilot first-in-human study on adult female patients with localized non-malignant breast lesion. This study will include an enrollment period of 12 months and 6 months study duration per patient.
The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate the safety profile of a new breast implant (REGENERA) in excision or lumpectomy of non-malignant breast lesions.
The secondary objectives of this study are:
To assess the safety of the implant procedure
To assess the feasibility of the implant procedure
To evaluate the performance of REGENERA breast implant:
In replacing the removed tissue
In potential interference with current diagnostic standard of care imaging procedures
On patient's quality of life and satisfaction
On investigator's satisfaction.
