5 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
A type of magnetic resonance imaging called diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) will be tested to define cancerous from non-cancerous lesions in the breast.
This study is to find out if 3.0 Tesla (3.0-T) Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) will improve in diagnosing breast cancer in women with high-risk of breast cancer.
The primary aim of this study is to evaluate if VTIQ in addition to BI-RADS® categorization can improve the diagnostic accuracy with respect to detection of malignancies, in particular for BI-RADS® categories 3 and 4a. The idea of the study is to restage all patients in categories 3 and 4a according to a predefined VTIQ cut-off value of ≥ 3.5 m/s (37 kPa).
A study to determine the efficacy of 8 mg/day (4 mg/breast) of BHR-700 gel compared to placebo for reducing breast tissue density in women identified as having dense breast tissue upon analysis of screening mammography. The Primary Study Endpoint being the percent reduction of mammographic breast tissue density on a follow-up mammogram compared to the baseline mammogram after 52 weeks of treatment.
To determine the impact on Interpreting Physician performance in detecting breast cancer, as defined by the area under the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve (ROC), when Automated Breast Ultrasound (ABUS) and screening mammography (XRM) are combined, compared to screening mammography alone in asymptomatic women with \>50% parenchymal density and a screening mammogram assigned a BI-RADS Assessment Category 1 (negative) or 2 (normal with benign findings). The effect of the improved Reader performance is illustrated by plotting the ROC curves for XRM alone and XRM+ABUS. If Reader performance improves with the addition of ABUS to the XRM, the area under the curve (AUC) for XRM+ABUS (AUCXRM+ABUS) will be greater than the area under the curve for XRM Alone (AUCXRM Alone). This difference is represented as ∆AUCABUS. The null and alternative hypotheses can be formally expressed as follows: H0: ∆AUCABUS = 0, AUCXRM+ABUS = AUCXRM Alone The null hypothesis is that Reader performance will be unchanged with the addition of ABUS to a screening mammogram assigned a BI-RADS Assessment Category of 1 or 2. HA: ∆AUCABUS ≠ 0, AUCXRM+ABUS ≠ AUCXRM Alone The alternative hypothesis is that Reader performance will be changed with the addition of ABUS to a screening mammogram assigned a BI-RADS Assessment Category of 1 or 2. A statistically significant change will be considered equivalent to a statistically significant improvement if the estimated value of AUCXRM+ABUS is greater than that of AUCXRM Alone with statistical significance at an alpha level of .05 for a two-sided test.
