About this trial

This is an interventional screening trial for Breast Cancer focused on measuring Breast, Screening, Elastography

Eligibility Criteria

30 Years - 80 Years (Adult, Older Adult)FemaleAccepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

Arm 1:

  • Female Subject presenting for screening mammography
  • 30-80 years of age, inclusive
  • Able to provide written informed consent

Arm 2:

  • Female Subject presenting for diagnostic appointment and/or biopsy
  • 30-80 years of age, inclusive
  • 1-3 masses per breast
  • Masses between 0.5 cm and 3.5 cm only

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Women younger than 30 or older than 80
  • Pregnant women
  • Women who have undergone bilateral mastectomies
  • Males
  • Prisoners
  • Masses which are larger than 3.5 cm or smaller than 0.5 cm in size

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary
1. This study examines the sensitivity of the SureTouch™ system, compared with methods that are the current standard of care (screening and diagnostic mammography with ultrasound), to detect clinically significant mass lesions in the breast.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary
The study will determine the patient acceptance of and satisfaction with the SureTouch devise. Outcome measure will use an original 8 question Likert-scale survey to assess patient perception of the comfort, duration, and acceptance of the device. A higher score indicates a better outcome. Brief Survey Monkey adapted from Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey for Radiography and US Performed in the Outpatient Setting. Itri JN. Patient-centered Radiology.

Overall Recruitment Status
Terminated
Why Stopped
The benefit of completing the study was not worth exposing subjects to the risk during COVID. Delaying the return visits would make it difficult to analyze the changes in data overtime.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Prospective, case-control study being conducted to determine the sensitivity of the SureTouch device in detecting known masses at a pre-determined level of specificity.
Detailed Description
This is a single-center, prospective, case-control study being conducted to determine the sensitivity of the SureTouch device in detecting known masses at a pre-determined level of specificity. Results of the mammography will be compared to the SureTouch examination results. Subjects will have between 1 and 3 research visits and 3 follow-up surveys, up to two years from the initial visit. The number of visits will be based upon comparison of the SureTouch examination to conventional breast screening techniques (mammogram and ultrasound).

Intervention Description
The first group will consist of 70 women who are believed to be free of masses, recruited during a screening mammography appointment. The second group will include 125 women presenting for diagnostic mammography and/or biopsy appointment with known masses identified on mammogram, ultrasound or both. Both groups will receive breast cancer screening with mammography and SureTouch.
