Open-label,Single Site,Pilot Clinical Investigation to Assess Detectability and Sizing of Invasive Breast Cancers,Detectability of Benign Breast Lesions,Differentiation Between Malignant and Benign Breast Lesions Using Wavelia # 2
The trialed investigational medical imaging device is a low-power microwave breast imaging system for cancer screening purposes. It is an active device which uses non-ionizing radiation.
Microwave imaging is an emerging imaging modality for the early detection of breast cancer. The physical basis of microwave imaging is the dielectric contrast between healthy and cancerous breast tissues at the microwave frequency spectrum.
This study is a pilot Clinical Evaluation of a microwave imaging system (Wavelia #2) for Breast Cancer Detection. The clinical data that will be collected in the context of this study is intended for the assessment of the imaging diagnostic capability and the safety of the investigational device.
Pilot Clinical Evaluation of a Microwave Imaging System for Early Breast Cancer Detection
The trialed investigational medical imaging device is a low-power microwave breast imaging system for cancer screening purposes. It is an active device which uses non-ionizing radiation.
Microwave imaging is an emerging imaging modality for the early detection of the breast cancer. The physical basis of microwave imaging is the dielectric contrast between healthy and cancerous breast tissues at microwave frequencies. Microwave imaging can potentially be used for monitoring neoadjuvant chemotherapy treatment, breast health monitoring, and for routine screening and diagnosis of the breast cancer at the early-stage. The non-invasive and the non-ionizing characteristics of microwaves should allow for frequent scans of the breast using microwave imaging, unlike X-ray mammography. In addition to safety, microwave imaging does not require uncomfortable breast compression and it is potentially a lower-cost modality.
This is a first-in-human clinical test of the investigational device, which has been so far tested only with experimental phantoms modelling the human female breast.
The clinical data that will be collected in the context of this study is intended to provide early safety information for the investigational medical imaging device. In addition, this exploratory data will guide the refinement of the device hardware and the imaging algorithm design, before decision to proceed (or not) with further clinical tests.
Furthermore, this study will be used to guide sample size calculation for a subsequent study designed to evaluate efficacy should that appear warranted once this study is completed.
