An interventional study of ECHOPULSE in Breast Fibroadenoma, sponsored by Theraclion. Completed at 4 sites in United States. Open to female participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-05-01.
Sponsored by Theraclion · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
This study evaluates the efficacy and the safety of the HIFU for the treatment of breast fibroadenoma.
Echopulse is specially designed, manufactured and CE marked for treating breast fibroadenoma. HIFU is a completely alternative to surgery which utilizes high-energy ultrasound to deliver a large amount of sound energy to a focal point to rapidly induce tissue heating to 85-90°C.This initiates tissue coagulation followed by tissue necrosis ablating the targeted area.
27 studies on the registry are indexed under Fibroadenoma; 6 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 113 is above the median of 50 across 20 interventional studies indexed under Fibroadenoma.

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
A biopsy takes a small piece of tissue to examine. “Archival tissue” is a sample already taken, for example at diagnosis, and kept by the hospital.
Whether a stored sample will do depends on when it was taken, how much there is and what the study needs. Ask whether the study accepts your stored sample or needs a new biopsy.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.
It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.
