A Trial Comparing Screening Mammography With and Without Assistance From Artificial Intelligence for Breast Cancer Detection and Recall Rates in Adult Patients
What this study is about
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare patient-centered outcomes when screening digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) exams are interpreted with versus without a leading FDA-cleared artificial intelligence (AI) decision-support tool in real-world U.S. settings and to assess patients' and radiologists' perspectives on AI in medicine.
View original scientific description
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare patient-centered outcomes when screening digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) exams are interpreted with versus without a leading FDA-cleared artificial intelligence (AI) decision-support tool in real-world U.S. settings and to assess patients' and radiologists' perspectives on AI in medicine. The main question it aims to answer is: Does an FDA-cleared AI decision-support tool for digital tomosynthesis (DBT) improve screening outcomes in real world US clinical settings? This trial will include all interpreting radiologists and all adult patients undergoing screening mammography at any of the participating breast imaging facilities across 6 regional health systems (University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), University of California, San Diego (UCSD), University of Washington-Seattle, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Boston Medical Center, and University of Miami) during the trial period. All screening mammograms at these facilities will be randomized to either intervention (radiologist assisted by an AI decision support tool) versus usual care (radiologist alone) to see if interpreting these mammograms with the AI tool's assistance improves patient screening outcomes. We are targeting 400,000 screening exams across the participating health systems in this trial.

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
