NCT06950021

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and performance of the Canopus Marker in adult breast cancer patients who are scheduled for breast-conserving surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Have the Canopus Marker implanted into the tumor or nearby tissue using ultrasound guidance.
  • Undergo surgery where the Canopus Marker will help guide the surgeon to the tumor, and the marker will be removed along with the tumor. This surgery is performed using an FDA cleared and CE-marked detection device (Sirius Pintuition Detector).
  • Attend a follow-up visit two weeks after surgery to assess any adverse events and overall satisfaction.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Performance: Retrieval Rate

    Proportion of procedures in which the Canopus marker is present on post-operative specimen X-ray and only the Pintuition Detector is used during surgery. Hypothesis: =\> 85%

    From enrolment to the follow-up visit at 2 weeks after surgery (estimated 3-5 weeks)

  • Safety: Investigational Device-Related Serious Adverse Device Effects

    Proportion of patients who experienced an investigational device-related serious adverse device effect as assessed by MedDRA. Hypothesis: none.

    From enrolment to the follow-up visit at 2 weeks after surgery (estimated 3-5 weeks)

Secondary Outcomes (9)

  • Radiologist's Satisfaction

    Post-procedural (implantation)

  • Surgeon Satisfaction

    Post-procedural (surgery)

  • Subject Satisfaction

    At post-operative check (2 weeks follow-up visit)

  • Safety: Adverse Events

    From enrolment to the follow-up visit at 2 weeks after surgery (estimated 3-5 weeks)

  • Accuracy of Placement

    Post-procedural (implantation)

  • +4 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (1)

Primary breast lesion and/or axillary lymph node localisation prior to surgical excision

EXPERIMENTAL

Device: CANOPUS Magnetic Marker by Sirius Medical Systems B.V. Placement of experimental device in primary breast lesion and/or axillary lymph node indicated for surgical removal and requiring localisation

Device: Magnetic seed

Interventions

All patients enrolled will receive a single Sirius Canopus Marker with two anchors added to it for improved tissue fixation. Implantation will be done by a radiologist before breast conserving surgery, usually scheduled within a few days after Canopus Marker implantation. The Canopus Marker is removed with the specimen during the surgery.

Primary breast lesion and/or axillary lymph node localisation prior to surgical excision

Eligibility Criteria

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

You may qualify if:

  • Subject is willing and able to provide informed consent for the investigation
  • Subject is at least 18 years of age
  • Subject is diagnosed with a single, pathologically confirmed unifocal breast tumour (DCIS or invasive)
  • Tumour is ultrasound visible
  • Subject is indicated for primary breast conserving surgery and/or targeted axillary dissection
  • Subject is indicated for preoperative localization using a single marker in the primary breast lesion and/or a single marker in an axillary lymph node

You may not qualify if:

  • Subject is lactating or pregnant
  • Subject is expected to have surgery scheduled more than 6 weeks after implantation of the Canopus Marker.
  • Subject has an ICD or other active implant such as a pacemaker less than 5 cm away from the intended target location(s)
  • Subject has a proven infection or clinically significant hematoma at or close to the intended target location(s)
  • Subject is expected to require an MRI scan in the period between implantation and surgery
  • Known hypersensitivity to Titanium or Nickel
