Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this feasibility randomised controlled clinical trial (RCT) is to compare mesh-assisted to no-mesh pre-pectoral implant based immediate breast reconstruction in women undergoing mastectomy for treatment of breast cancer or for risk reduction of an inherited breast cancer risk.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

* To determine the feasibility of a definitive RCT comparing the clinical and cost- effectiveness of no- mesh versus mesh- assisted pre-pectoral breast reconstruction.
* To determine if it is possible to collect data to inform a future economic analysis on the use of mesh in breast reconstruction.

Participants will be randomly allocated to have their breast reconstruction either with the use of mesh or without the use of mesh prior to the start of the operation. Participants will be blinded to their allocation until day 90 post operatively. Participants will be asked to have medical photography and to complete a short quality of life questionnaire before and after surgery at 90 days prior to finding out their allocation.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Trial Design:

Restore-B is a prospective, multicentre parallel 2-armed single-blinded randomised controlled feasibility trial comparing no-mesh to mesh- assisted immediate implant-based prepectoral breast reconstruction surgery.

Patients will be randomised 1:1 to either the intervention surgery (no- mesh) arm or the control arm surgery (mesh-assisted).

Planned Trial Period:

The overall period of the trial is:

12 months recruitment, 3 months follow-up and 6 months data analysis and final reporting of results.

Trial Participants:

Women over 18 years old eligible for elective immediate prepectoral implant-based breast reconstruction with mesh for cancer treatment or risk reduction surgery

Intervention:

Immediate prepectoral implant-based (implant or expander) breast reconstruction without surgical mesh (ADM or synthetic).

Comparator:

Immediate prepectoral implant- based (implant or expander) breast reconstruction with surgical mesh (ADM or synthetic) (standard of care).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Immediate prepectoral implant-based breast reconstruction without surgical mesh.

Prepectoral implant (expander or fixed volume) breast reconstruction without mesh

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Prepectoral implant-based immediate breast reconstruction

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Prepectoral implant based breast reconstruction is an immediate breast reconstruction whereby a fixed volume implant or expander is placed on top of the chest wall muscle (Pectoralis Major) to reconstruct the breast after mastectomy.
