Trial Outcomes & Findings for Accurate, Rapid and Inexpensive MRI Protocol for Breast Cancer Screening (NCT NCT04877912)

NCT ID: NCT04877912

Last Updated: 2026-03-20

Results Overview

The number of abbreviated scans that successfully determines a cancer, confirmed by biopsy, based on the radiologist determination that the MRI findings are suspicious. Suspicious lesions were assigned a Bi-Rads code specifying whether additional work up or biopsy is necessary. These are Bi-Rads codes 0 (incomplete - need additional imaging evaluation), 4 (suspicious for malignancy - biopsy should be considered) and 5 (highly suggestive of malignancy - appropriate action should be taken).

Measure
MRI Unknown Cancer Status Group
Women with dense breasts and/or women who have intermediate risk of breast cancer for this study. Subjects will receive an MRI exam that is research-only. Abbreviated MRI Scan: All subjects will be receiving an MRI scan, up to 15 minutes long that includes an injection of contrast agent. This contrast agent will be injected into the arm and will help the doctors to read the MRI more effectively. If there is a lesion (abnormality) in the breast, the contrast agent will go to the lesion first and we will be able to see it better. The examination table will then move subject into the magnet, which is a long tube with a diameter of about 3 feet. Subject will be asked to lie in the magnet for about 15 minutes. During the periods when we are taking pictures, we will ask subject to be as still as possible.

True Positive
0.09 true positive scans
Standard Deviation 0.03

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 30 days

The abbreviated scan successfully determines no cancers are present, as confirmed with mammography or a standard MRI.
