NCT03863522

Brief Summary

Participants with suspicious breast lesions by mammography will undergo fine needle aspiration (FNA) under ultrasound guidance. The FNA will be read by the cytopathologist and analyzed in the breast cancer detection cartridge. All patients will receive standard of care (Ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy and diagnosis). We will also receive FNA collected from 60 patients with palpable lesions in South Africa and analyze them samples in our lab with the same method.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Correlation of Diagnostic Cartridge With Histopathology as Assessed by Number of Participants With Same Diagnosis From Both Cancer Detection Cartridge and Core Biopsy or Resected Lesion

    Number of participants in whom DNA methylation profile of 10 genes in the Cancer Detection cartridge correlates with diagnosis based on the gold standard of histopathology of the core biopsy or resected sample.

    up to 2 years

  • Correlation of Diagnostic Cartridge With Cytopathology as Assessed by Number of Participants With Same Diagnosis From Both Cancer Detection Cartridge and Cytology of Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA)

    Number of participants in whom DNA methylation profile of 10 genes as determined in the Cancer Detection cartridge correlates with FNA cytology

    up to 2 years

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Correlation of Diagnostic Cartridge With Known Lab Assay

    up to 2 years

  • Correlation of Known Lab Assay for FNA Versus the Core Biopsy

    up to 2 years

  • Correlation of Cartridge Based Quantitative Evaluation of Tumor Markers (ER/PR/Her2 and Ki67) in FNA Versus FFPE Sections

    up to 2 years

Study Arms (1)

Fine Needle Aspiration

OTHER

Participants will receive fine needle aspiration (FNA) later read by the cytopathologist and the cartridge. All patients will receive standard of care (Ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy and diagnosis).

Procedure: Fine needle aspirationDevice: Cancer Detection cartridge

Interventions

Fine needle aspiration is a type of biopsy procedure to diagnose suspicious lesions. After giving numbing medicine, a thin needle is inserted into the breast to obtain a sample. This procedure is followed by the standard of care and will last about 10 minutes. The sample will be analyzed by a diagnostic cartridge and by the cytopathologist.

Also known as: FNA
Fine Needle Aspiration

The Cancer Detection cartridge has the ability to measure methylated gene changes in breast cells. The device will not be in contact with the patients. The FNA samples will be smeared on a slide which will be placed into the cartridge for analysis.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexfemale
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Patient must be female
  • Patient must be 18 years of age or older
  • Patient has been recommended for ultrasound core needle biopsy of a suspicious breast lesion

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients may be excluded for any condition that in the opinion of the investigator may not make it safe to take part (e.g. certain medicines).

Limitations and Caveats

Enrollment was halted early due to the quality of samples obtained. Samples contained insufficient cells and could not be analysed.
