Study summary

This study evaluates the clinical response rate of local steroids in the treatment of idiopathic granulomatous mastitis in female adults. Half of the participants will receive local injection combined with topical steroids and the other half will receive topical steroids mono-therapy.

Read the detailed description

Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM) is a rare benign inflammatory breast disease of unknown etiology.Clinical presentation of IGM can be variable. Some findings may be confused with breast malignancy.

Although IGM as a disease has been known for nearly four decades, no treatment consensus has been reached because of its rarity. Surgical treatment, antibiotics, oral steroids, topical steroids, immunosuppression (methotrexate, mycophenolate mofetil) and close follow up have all been reported to be effective.

Currently,surgical treatment and systemic steroids treatment are most frequently employed. With the consideration of side effects of long term systemic (oral) steroid usage, topical steroids without systemic use were assessed and showed satisfactory curative effect. But there is no data concerning the use of local injection of steroids therapy on IGM.The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of steroids local injection on the basis of topical steroids for IGM treatment.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    local injection

    Compound betamethasone injection (Each injection contains betamethasone dipropionate at 5 mg for betamethasone and betamethasone sodium phosphate at 2 mg for betamethasone) was local injected to the breast by the patient once a week for one to four times followed by Hydrocortisone butyrate cream(0.1%) topical use twice a day until the termination of treatment.

    Drug: Compound Betamethasone Injection · Drug: Hydrocortisone Butyrate 0.1% Cream

  • Active comparator
    topical

    Hydrocortisone butyrate 0.1% cream was applied to the breast by the patient twice a day until the termination of treatment.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. clinical response rate

    The clinical response is categorized into ''completely healed,'' ''inadequately healed,'' ''stable,'' ''worsened,'' or ''relapsed'' if the lesions had once healed but symptoms returned.

    Time frame: six months

Secondary outcomes

  1. granulomatous mastitis recurrence

    IGM relapses in the Ipsilateral breast.

    Time frame: two years

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Dec 3, 2020, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
