Brief Summary:
BRAID is a randomised, multi-centre study assessing the impact of supplementary imaging in the detection of breast cancer in women participating in the UK national breast screening programme who have dense breast tissue.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Breast Cancer Diagnostic Test: ABUS Diagnostic Test: CESM Diagnostic Test: ABB-MRI Not Applicable

Detailed Description:

Breast density is a measure of the amount of fibroglandular tissue and is a risk factor for breast cancer. Women with extremely dense breasts are at 4-fold increased breast cancer risk compared to women with 'fatty' breasts. High breast density reduces the sensitivity of mammography increasing the probability of the test missing a cancer. Women with dense breasts have their cancers found when the cancer is larger as they present with interval cancers or their cancers are not detected until the next screening round at a later stage.

The UK national breast screening programme (NHS BSP) offers all women aged 50-70 screening with 3-yearly mammograms. It aims to reduce breast cancer mortality by 20% by detecting small cancers thereby reducing the number of late stage diagnoses. However only 53% of the cancers being detected are small (<15mm). This is partly due to masking of cancers by dense breast tissue.

This trial addresses how best to screen women with dense breasts for breast cancer. BRAID will randomise women whose recent screening mammogram shows that they have dense breasts to either standard of care (no supplementary imaging) or supplementary imaging with abbreviated MRI (ABB-MRI), automated whole breast ultrasound (ABUS) or contrast enhanced spectral mammography (CESM). These imaging techniques have been shown to be more sensitive than mammography at detecting cancers in dense breast tissue. Our hypothesis is that more cancers will be detected at an earlier stage with supplemental imaging.

Arms and Interventions
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Arm Intervention/treatment
No Intervention: Standard of Care
Control arm, no supplementary imaging is given. Participants have mammographic screening 3-yearly as per current standard of are.
Active Comparator: Abbreviated MRI (ABB-MRI)
Supplementary imaging with abbreviated MRI at study entry and 18 months after baseline mammogram.
 Diagnostic Test: ABB-MRI
ABB-MRI is a shorter version of breast MRI. Standard T1W pre and post contrast images are acquired. A MIP and post-contrast T1 weighted image are read.
Other Names:
  • Abbreviated Magnetic Resonance Imaging
  • Abridged MRI
  • Abbreviated Protocol MRI
  • Abbreviated Breast MRII
Active Comparator: Automated Breast Ultrasound (ABUS)
Supplementary imaging with automated breast ultrasound at study entry and 18 months after baseline mammogram.
 Diagnostic Test: ABUS
Automated whole breast ultrasound (ABUS) is undertaken with a large transducer panel placed on the breast in three positions. Resultant images are combined to make a 3D image of the breast.
Other Names:
  • Whole Breast Ultrasound
  • Automated Breast Ultrasound
Active Comparator: Contrast Enhanced Mammography (CESM)
Supplementary imaging with contrast enhanced spectral mammography at study entry and 18 months after baseline mammogram.
 Diagnostic Test: CESM
A high kV and a low kV image is taken in two standard views of each breast following the intravenous injection of an iodinated contrast agent.
Other Names:
  • Contrast Enhanced Spectral Mammography
  • Contrast Enhanced Mammography


Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Cancer detection rate in each arm [ Time Frame: 42 months after mammogram at study entry ]
    All cancers (detected or interval) in each arm over a three year period will be collected.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Incidence of stage II or worse cancers over the period of observation [ Time Frame: 42 months after last participant entered ]
