A 3D-Printed External Breast Prosthesis for the Improvement of Patient-reported Outcomes Among Breast Cancer Patients That Underwent a Mastectomy Without Reconstruction
NCT07047872 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
This clinical trial evaluates whether a three-dimensional (3D)-printed external breast prosthesis improves patient-reported outcomes (PRO) among breast cancer patients that underwent surgical removal of the breast (mastectomy) without surgical reconstruction. Breast cancer remains a significant health concern and often requires a mastectomy. While breast reconstruction is a common option following a mastectomy, some patients decide not to undergo it or are not candidates. An external breast prosthesis is worn on the outside of the body to replace the breast that was removed during the mastectomy. Traditional external breast prostheses may lack comfort and fit. A 3D-printed external breast prosthesis is customized to the patient using 3D imaging along with computer-aided design (CAD) to interpret the 3D imaging to develop and print a patient-specific external breast prosthesis. This may create a better fitting prosthesis which may improve PRO.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT07047872
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT07047872 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as NA, 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 50 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Mayo Clinic, which has 3,246 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 Carcinoma appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 3 interventions — of which Questionnaire Administration 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: NCT07047872 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Minnesota. 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.
