Breast reconstruction study with ARTIA matrix
This study tests a new supportive mesh called ARTIA for women having breast reconstruction immediately after a mastectomy. The mesh is placed under the skin to help hold a breast implant in position during a two-stage reconstruction process.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled to have one or both breasts removed (mastectomy) and want reconstruction right away.
- You are willing to have a two-stage implant reconstruction with the ARTIA mesh placed under the chest muscle.
- You do not have any cancer remaining in the breast after mastectomy.
- You do not have any medical condition that slows wound healing, such as uncontrolled diabetes or a history of poor healing.

This trial tests a new mesh-like device called Melodi Matrix to support breast reconstruction after mastectomy. It may help women who are planning immediate two-stage implant reconstruction after removing one or both breasts.
This trial tests a special supportive material called acellular dermal matrix in women having two-stage breast reconstruction after mastectomy. The goal is to learn how well it works when the implant is placed directly under the skin, over the chest muscle.
This study tests a special mesh called OviTex PRS used during immediate breast reconstruction after mastectomy. The goal is to see if it is safe and effective for supporting the new breast implant.
This study tests a special supportive mesh (called Neorepair) used during breast reconstruction with implants. The mesh helps the body's own tissue grow and support the implant, which may lead to better healing and a more natural result.
This first-time-in-humans study tests a tissue-engineering chamber called MATTISSE® to help the healing of breast reconstruction using specific tissue flaps after mastectomy for cancer. If you qualify, you would be assessed for safety and how well the reconstructed tissue heals.
This study tests if a special mesh called an acellular dermal matrix (SC DERM® Recon) is safe for women having breast reconstruction with implants after mastectomy for breast cancer. It involves careful follow-up to check for any problems.
