VisR Ultrasound for Noninvasively Interrogating Stromal Collagen Organization in Women as a Breast Cancer Biomarker: Evaluation of Anisotropy in Cancer Patients
NCT06878547 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Purpose: This study will evaluate how measurements of tissue stiffness, viscosity, and anisotropy using non-invasive ultrasound imaging correlate with breast tumor malignancy and response to chemotherapy. Participants: Up to 200 women with benign or malignant breast tumors for arm 1 and up to 50 women undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy in the breast for arm 2 will be recruited. Procedures (methods): The research team will use an ultrasound scanner to acquire non-invasive elastography data from the breast of each subject, testing a range of transducer rotation angles. Transducer position will be monitored using a position sensor during imaging.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT06878547
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT06878547 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as an unspecified phase, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 250 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, which has 374 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Breast Cancer appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Ultrasound is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT06878547 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include North Carolina. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
