Trial Outcomes & Findings for Multi-Reader Multi-Case Controlled Clinical Trial to Assess the Fujifilm FFDM and DBT Reader Training Program (NCT NCT02685566)

NCT ID: NCT02685566

Last Updated: 2023-09-21

Results Overview

This endpoint was evaluated qualitatively. Reported the number of readers meeting the Pass Criteria on the final FFDM plus DBT assessment case set, which requires adequate performance in cancer cases (detection rate) as well as non-cancer cases (recall rate). Per-subject BI-RADS, POM and recall scores were derived. Credit was only given for identifying a subject with cancer if the reader marked findings in at least one location with cancer. Findings that did not match the location of a malignant lesion were ignored for cancer cases in the per-subject analyses.

Participant Flow

The 100 breast screening and diagnostic cases selected for this study, were obtained from the FMSU2013-004A acquisition study. The statistician randomly selected cases to provide a distribution of density, finding types, etc.

Each radiologist read all 100 cases as FFDM only and FFDM+DBT(100 cases multiplied by 2 modalities = 200 reads) with a 4 week washout period between the 2 sessions.

Measure
All 100 Cases/Study Participants
n=100 Participants
Each case contributed 2 sets of images: FFDM only as well as DBT plus FFDM. Therefore there were 200 reads acquired from the 100 cases/participants.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 4 weeks

Population: The study employed a fully factorial, counterbalanced crossover design in which all readers reviewed images from all cases in two visits separated by a memory washout period of approximately 4 weeks. Each reader read half FFDM cases and half FFDM + DBT cases during each of 2 visits.

This endpoint was evaluated qualitatively. Reported the number of readers meeting the Pass Criteria on the final FFDM plus DBT assessment case set, which requires adequate performance in cancer cases (detection rate) as well as non-cancer cases (recall rate). Per-subject BI-RADS, POM and recall scores were derived. Credit was only given for identifying a subject with cancer if the reader marked findings in at least one location with cancer. Findings that did not match the location of a malignant lesion were ignored for cancer cases in the per-subject analyses.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 5 weeks

The magnitude and direction of differences between performance metrics for the two modalities, and variance components and correlations that would influence sample size and case mix for the pivotal reader study (FMSU2013-004G) comparing performance metrics between the two modalities, obtained using established methods for analysis of MRMC (multi-reader, multi-case) studies. The statistician estimated AUC's for each reader in each review condition based on per-subject POM scores requiring correct lesion localization. Statistician performed MRMC comparison of AUC's between reading conditions using the MRMC analysis of variance (ANOVA) method.
