Trial Outcomes & Findings for Molecular Breast Imaging and Digital Breast Tomosynthesis in Screening Patients With Dense Breast Tissue (NCT NCT03220893)

NCT ID: NCT03220893

Last Updated: 2026-02-20

Results Overview

Compare the rate of detection of invasive cancers between DBT alone versus (vs.) the combination of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) with supplemental molecular breast imaging (MBI) at initial (year 1) screening. For each modality, the detection rate of invasive cancers will be estimated as the proportion of participants in the analysis set who had an invasive cancer detected by the modality and verified by pathology.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: At year 1 screening

Population: Of 2978 participants screened with DBT alone and with DBT + supplemental MBI, 23 participants had invasive breast cancer detected.

Compare the rate of detection of invasive cancers between DBT alone versus (vs.) the combination of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) with supplemental molecular breast imaging (MBI) at initial (year 1) screening. For each modality, the detection rate of invasive cancers will be estimated as the proportion of participants in the analysis set who had an invasive cancer detected by the modality and verified by pathology.
