Study summary

Breast cancer is diagnosed by imaging at a non-palpable stage in more than half of all cases. Surgical removal requires preoperative guidance. Generally, preoperative guidance is performed using a metal guide under local anaesthetic and radiological control. This type of guidance has several limitations. For the patient, it can be painful and traumatic. The procedure involves two departments: radiology and the operating theatre, which poses logistical constraints. What's more, between 10% and 40% of patients require repeat surgery for unhealthy margins, raising the question of the effectiveness of the tracking procedure. The investigators propose to develop a non-invasive intraoperative guidance system: Augmented Reality, which will provide a 3D vision with virtual transparency of the breast during surgery, thanks to real-time fusion of preoperative imaging with video from a camera located in the operating room. The process is illustrated below.

Illustration of the general principle of the augmented reality system for locating non-palpable breast lesions. The images above represent a preliminary test carried out on the computer outside the operating room. This is an initial research prototype which has not yet been validated and is not suitable for routine use.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Major women
  • Requiring conservative surgical management of a subclinical cancerous breast lesion (not palpable), the histology of which has been previously proven by anatomopathology;
  • Having a breast MRI indication at the time of the breast assessment performed at the Centre Jean Perrin
  • Ability to give to participate in the study,
  • Membership of a social security scheme

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with breast neoplasia during pregnancy;
  • Persons deprived of their liberty or under guardianship or incapable of giving consent;
  • Refusal to participate.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

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.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Feasibility of the study

    The feasibility of the study will be considered to have been achieved if the investigators obtain at least 4 successes among the 5 patients who benefited from the augmented reality procedure pre- and intraoperatively. Success is defined at both preoperative and intraoperative levels. Success in the preoperative phase is defined by: visibility of registration landmarks (clavicle, sternal fork, sternum, xyphoid process and areolar-nipple plate). Success in the intraoperative phase is defined by: non-prolongation of anesthesia time due to the study procedure.

    Time frame: 1 year

Secondary outcomes

  1. Time measurement of the study procedure

    Measurement of the time required to complete the various stages of the study procedure and surgery : device set-up, marking of registration marks on the patient's bust with a dermographic pencil, 3D acquisition of the patient's bust using a 3D camera, duration of the procedure, anesthesia time.

    Time frame: 1 year

  2. Creating a phantom

    Success of creating a phantom is deemed to have been achieved if the breast Phantom including all clinical features

    Time frame: 1 year

  3. Assessment of the feasibility of images fusion

    Assessment of the feasibility of fusing supine 3D breast MRI images and post-MRI ultrasound (second look) with target lesion detection.

    Time frame: 1 year

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Nov 2024 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Nov 2027, 35 months after the start.

Of 2,661 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Breast Neoplasms, half reached primary completion within 33 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 16 and three quarters within 66. This study's planned 35 months is close to that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 2,771 studies reached it within 33 months; a quarter within 15 and three quarters within 66.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

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 31, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
