A Randomized Controlled Study of Conservative Treatment of Granulomatous Lobular Mastitis Combined With Psychiatric Disorders

An interventional study of conservative treatment in Breast Diseases, Mastitis Granulomatous and Psychiatric Disorder, sponsored by Wuhan University. Enrolling by invitation at 1 site in China. Open to female participants aged 18 Years to 60 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2022-05-27.

  1. The study's listed conditions name Granulomatous Mastitis, a narrower term within Breast Diseases.
Confidence
High: the new condition is named in the study's own listed conditions. Of 351 hand-checked studies reclassified this way, 68% were exactly right and 84% in the right disease family; the registry's first term was right for 5% (measured 2026-10-21). How we classify →

Study summary

Granulomatous lobular mastitis (GLM) is a relatively rare chronic inflammatory disease of the breast in clinical practice. A small number of patients develop hyperprolactinemia during psychiatric drug treatment, and most of these patients are nulliparous. At present, there is no unified treatment mode at home and abroad, and surgery is generally the main treatment. GLM is a sterile inflammation, and glucocorticoids and methotrexate can effectively relieve clinical symptoms and even reach the standard of cure. In order to reduce the recurrence rate and protect the breast appearance as much as possible, we propose a conservative therapy. The purpose of this study was to compare this conservative therapy of granulomatous lobular mastitis with existing surgical treatment, and to compare the overall benefits of the two for patients with GLM. We aim to protect the breast appearance on the premise of low recurrence, improve the quality of life of GLM patients with psychiatric disorders .

In context

Granulomatous Mastitis Reclassified

22 studies on the registry are indexed under Granulomatous Mastitis; 7 are open to participants now.

This study's planned enrollment of 50 is below the median of 61 across 12 interventional studies indexed under Granulomatous Mastitis.

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.

Informed consent

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.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Steroid combined with methotrexate

    Prednisone 30 mg/day, supplemented with calcium and omeprazole, and Prednisone were slowly reduced to 10 mg/day after symptoms were relieved, and combined with 7.5 mg/week MTX therapy.

    Drug: conservative treatment

  • No intervention
    Extensive lesion excision

    Patients in the control group underwent wide local excision, make sure the margin is negative. Irrigation and mammoplasty were performed in the same way as in the observation group.

Interventions

  • Drugconservative treatment

    Prednisone 30 mg/day, supplemented with calcium and omeprazole, and Prednisone were slowly reduced to 10 mg/day after symptoms were relieved, and combined with 7.5 mg/week MTX therapy.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Recurrence rate

    Inflammatory changes, mass, abscess or fistula formation, nodular erythema of the upper and lower extremities and joint pain occurred in the ipilateral breast within one year after surgery was defined as recurrence.

    Time frame: Up to 1 years

  2. Breast appearance and cosmetic effect score

    Refer to Harris standard to evaluate postoperative cosmetic effect. Specify the breast appearance and cosmetic effect rating table.

    Time frame: Up to 1 years

Secondary outcomes

  1. recovery time

    the timing of the disappearance of the symptoms including Inflammatory changes, mass, abscess or fistula formation, nodular erythema of the upper and lower extremities and joint pain occurred in the ipilateral breast

    Time frame: Up to 2 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 May 27, 2022, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
