Completed
Conditions
Breast Cancer Female
Interventions
Device: Breast Biopsy
Registration Number
NCT03300206
Lead Sponsor
Hologic, Inc.
Brief Summary

The Brevera Breast Biopsy System integrates tissue acquisition, real time imaging, and post biopsy handling all during the same procedure. This post-market clinical trial will be performed to obtain clinical/operational data and feedback on the Brevera Breast Biopsy System as compared to the current standard-of-care breast biopsy procedures

GroupInterventionDescription
Standard of CareBreast BiopsyEach of the participating sites will currently be using a vacuum assisted breast biopsy system along with a specimen radiography system (or other specimen imaging system).
Brevera Breast Biopsy SystemBreast BiopsyThe Brevera Breast Biopsy System with CorLumina imaging technology is a vacuum-assisted biopsy device, which is used to remove breast tissue in a minimally invasive manner using stereotactic or tomosynthesis imaging.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Difference in Procedural Time in MinutesAverage Time- Procedure (1 Lesion per subject): Total Time elapsed from when the subject enters the procedure room until they have left the procedure room, an average of 43 minutes.

The primary endpoint of this trial is the measured difference in procedure time between biopsies performed with the Brevera biopsy system and those performed with the standard-of-care biopsy systems at each clinical site. Additionally, feedback from the perspective of the participant radiologists, technologists, and subjects using the systems was reported.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Post-biopsy Complication RatesThe time of consent until the subject procedure was completed, an average of 1 day

Adverse event percentage rates.

Number of Samples Collected Per LesionSamples collected from day of Breast Biopsy Procedure Only

Number of samples collected per lesion

Percentage of Procedures With Overall Positive Opinion From Radiologists, Technologists and PatientsThrough study completion, enrollment expected to take up to 6-10 months at each participant site. Data collected from day of Breast Biopsy Procedure Only

The radiologists, technologists, and patients participating in this study were asked to provide feedback on the Brevera Biopsy System at the completion of each procedure. Their responses (raw scores) were reported and converted to percentage of procedures with overall positive opinion. The scale goes from 0% (poor/negative opinion) to 100% (excellent/positive opinion).
