Study summary

The Motiva Flora® Tissue Expander clinical study (hereafter Motiva Flora® TE study) is a 6-month, open-label, prospective, multicentre post-marketing follow-up study designed to confirm the Safety and Effectiveness/Performance of Motiva Flora® TE in breast reconstruction surgery.

The study will include 136 women, planned for staged breast reconstruction, in 6 countries (Spain, Belgium, France, Costa Rica, Chile and Panama). Breast tissue expansion and the final breast implant will be performed using devices from the Motiva Flora® TE catalogue.

Inclusion criteria

  • The participant gives written .
  • The participant is genetically female, aged 18 years or older.
  • The participant needs tissue expansion as part of breast reconstruction treatment following mastectomy, which may include immediate reconstruction.
  • The participant is in a suitable clinical condition to allow breast implant placement after tissue expander placement, at the discretion of the investigator.
  • The participant has the physical and cognitive capacity to understand and follow the surgeon's recommendations.
  • Complete radiotherapy at least 1 year before surgery.
  • Partial or total decrease in tumour volume after radiotherapy.
  • The participant is able and willing to comply with all study requirements including attending follow-up appointments.
  • Participant with reasonable surgical risk.
  • Participant with a history of non- breast cancer.
  • Participant willing to undergo an MRI, CT scan and any other studies if required at surgeon discretion.

For substudy - MRI / CT - the following additional criteria apply:

  • Patient is willing to undergo one MRI and one CT anytime during the follow up

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • The participant is pregnant or planning a pregnancy during the first year after surgery or is currently breastfeeding.
  • Participants with implanted devices that may be affected by magnetic fields (pacemakers, drug infusion devices).
  • Participants with abnormal haematological and biochemical values after chemotherapy.
  • Participants with tumour residues in or near the area where tissue expansion is to be performed.
  • Participants who do not have adequate tissue at the intended site for expansion, at the surgeon's discretion, due to previous radiotherapy, ulceration, vascular involvement, history of impaired wound healing or scar deformity.
  • Participants with current or previous infection in the area where the expansion will take place.
  • Presence of diseases such as lupus or scleroderma, or participants due to immunosuppressive or therapy.
  • Inadequate chest wall tissue due to damage caused by radiotherapy, tight skin grafts or radical resection of the pectoralis major muscle.
  • Participant who is included in another pharmacological or device research study.
  • Participants with a previous history of failure of attempted tissue expansion or breast implant placement at the site of intended expansion.
  • Participant with a history of silicone sensitivity.
  • Employees of Establishment Labs or any of its divisions or sites; Researchers or anyone who collaborates on the study or is directly related to a person working for Establishment Labs, sites or commissioned Researchers.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(5)

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.

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.

Metastases

Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.

Autoimmune disease

A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.

Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Incidence of the device and procedure-related adverse events

    Cumulative incidence of the device and procedure-related adverse events as assessed by occurrence, seriousness, severity, causal relationship with the device

    Time frame: 6 months follow-up

  2. Perceived success of breast tissue expansion

    Success of the process as perceived by the investigator considering change in final breast volume and comparison with expected volume

    Time frame: 6 months follow-up

  3. Expected completion of breast tissue expansion

    Evaluate the time it took to reach the desired expansion following planning.

    Time frame: Up to 6 months follow-up

  4. Satisfaction assessed by the 5 point Likert scale

    - Surgeon's overall satisfaction (1=very significant improvement, 2=significant improvement, 3=improvement, 4=no change and 5=decline) at each follow-up visit.

    Time frame: 6 months follow-up

Secondary outcomes

  1. Integrity of the fixing tabs defined as tabs being intact at explantation

    Observation of Integrity of the fixing tabs defined as tabs being intact at explanation with no detachments and cuts.

    Time frame: During the intervention/procedure/surgery for explantation

  2. MRI and potential incidents

    Incidents attributable to MR exposure.

    Time frame: Up to 6 months follow-up

  3. MRI and port locator performance measured through accurate locator function

    Motiva Flora® Port locator performance after MRI measured through accurate location defined when the green light on the device comes on

    Time frame: Up to 6 months follow-up

  4. Device interference on MRI

    Device interference on MRI measured through artifact size

    Time frame: Up to 6 months follow-up

  5. In vivo testing of device interference with CT radiotherapy planning.

    Radiological Report after undergo CT: - Interference with CT.

    Time frame: Up to 6 months follow-up
