About this trial

This prospective, blinded, single-arm study aims to test the performance of nanomechanical phenotype in predicting tumor type, tumor aggressiveness, and neoadjuvant treatment response compared to the gold standard of histopathological assessment. The study involves patients with suspicious breast lesions who will undergo a breast biopsy procedure indicated by standard of care. The nanomechanical phenotype will be measured on the freshly obtained breast biopsies or tissue from breast surgeries.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patients aged ≥ 18 years

Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent.

Indication for breast biopsy for diagnostic purposes

ECOG performance status of 0 to 3.

Disqualifiers

Conditions that, in the investigator's opinion, might indicate that the subject is not suitable for the study.

Trial design

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Nanomechanical Phenotype Test

    Diagnostic test

    The ARTIDIS ART-1 device is an in-vitro diagnostic device based on Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) technology. The ART-1 device uses a probe to measure the nanomechanical phenotype of tissue components. ARTIDIS nanomechanical phenotype measurements are performed on fresh tissue after it is collected via biopsy or resection.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

ARTIDIS as a sensitive diagnostic tool

Variable, indicating a correct classification of patients' core biopsy material as malignant with the Nanomechanical Phenotype measurement in comparison to histopathological assessment as gold-standard.

Time frame
Read-out on day 30
2

ARTIDIS as a specific diagnostic tool

Variable, indicating a correct classification of patients' biopsy material as benign with the ARTIDIS Nanomechanical Phenotype measurement in comparison to histopathological assessment as gold-standard.

Time frame
Read-out on day 30

Secondary outcomes

Other outcomes

1

Exploratory Objective 1: ARTIDIS as an aid for diagnostic efficacy for radiologically assessed breast lesions.

Diagnostic value (sensitivity) of BI-RADS 4 assessment in combination with Nanomechanical Phenotype Measurement or without Nanomechanical Phenotype Measurement with histopathological assessment as gold-standard.

Time frame
Read-out on day 30
2

Exploratory Objective 2: ARTIDIS as an aid for radiologist to improve the reliability of BI-RADS classification.

Diagnostic value (sensitivity) of all BI-RADS assessments in combination with Nanomechanical Phenotype Measurement or without Nanomechanical Phenotype Measurement with histopathological assessment as gold-standard.

Time frame
Read-out on day 30
3

Exploratory Objective 3: ARTIDIS potential in improving time to treatment initiation for patients with a malignant breast lesion in comparison to standard workflow.

Measurement of reduction of time to treatment initiation for patients with a high aggressive malignant lesion without ARTIDIS imminent aggressiveness measurement compared to time to treatment initiation with ARTIDIS imminent aggressiveness measurement via health care navigator interviews.

Time frame
Read-out during the follow-up visits on month 6, month 12, and then annually up to 10 years
