Automated Breast Ultrasound as an Adjunct to Screening Digital Breast Tomosynthesis
- Conditions
- Breast Cancer
- Interventions
- Device: Automated Breast Ultrasound (ABUS)
- Registration Number
- NCT03616457
- Lead Sponsor
- GE Healthcare
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to assess whether the Invenia™ Automated Breast Ultrasound (ABUS) device, as an adjunct to Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT), improves breast cancer detection in women with dense breasts. The study aims to collect information about cancer detection, treatment, and outcomes based on individual and combined technologies in patients who receive ABUS exams in addition to DBT. The results of this study are intended to be used to extend understanding of ABUS as an adjunct in DBT screening in patients with dense breasts.
- Detailed Description
Following consenting procedures, subjects will undergo standard of care DBT of both breasts or of one breast if they have had prior uni-lateral mastectomy. Subjects will also undergo ABUS of both breasts or of one breast if they have had prior uni-lateral mastectomy. These imaging exams will be done per the sites routine practice, and can be done in any order.
Images will be read and assessed by one (1) Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA)-qualified reader. The evaluating radiologist will use the image reconstruction views appropriate for the evaluation, per his or her medical judgment, and handle diagnostic evaluations in accordance with the standard of care at the investigational site. The DBT images will be read and assessed first and independent of ABUS images. DBT plus ABUS will then be read per routine practice and assessed. Images will not be read until both imaging exams have been completed.
If screening shows a suspicious finding, subjects will receive standard of care follow-up and appropriate workup, which may include biopsy (as needed), to determine cancer status. Subjects will be followed at approximately one year (11- to 16-months) unless negative histopathology with image concordance or positive cancer status is histologically determined prior to one-year follow-up. Follow up procedures will be conducted as per the sites standard of care.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Cancer Detection Rate up to 16 months Cancer detection rate of DBT plus ABUS and DBT alone
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Invasive Cancer Detection up to 16 months To demonstrate DBT plus ABUS has non-inferior invasive cancer detection relative to DBT alone in women with dense breasts
Positive Predictive Value up to 16 months To demonstrate DBT plus ABUS has non-inferior positive predictive value (PPV 1) for breast cancer relative to DBT alone in women with dense breasts.
Recall Rates up to 16 months To summarize recall rate of DBT plus ABUS in relation to the recall rate of DBT alone for breast cancer screening in dense breasts.
