Steroid Injection for Breast Inflammation (IGM)
Part of Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a steroid injection directly into the breast can help treat idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM), a rare non-cancerous inflammatory breast condition. If you have been diagnosed with IGM, this study offers a potentially less invasive treatment option.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a woman diagnosed with idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM) by both a clinical exam and a biopsy.
- You need to be willing to receive steroid injections directly into the breast tissue.
- You must not have any active infections (like a skin infection or abscess).
- You should not be taking medications that suppress your immune system (e.g., steroids, chemotherapy, or biologics).
- You cannot be pregnant.

This trial compares two treatments—steroids (prednisolone) and methotrexate—for a chronic inflammatory breast condition. It aims to find which option works better with fewer side effects.
This study is creating a registry (a database) for people with a rare inflammatory breast condition called granulomatous mastitis. It aims to learn more about the disease and how it affects people, without testing any new treatments.
This study compares two common treatments—antibiotics and steroids—to see which works better for a rare breast inflammation condition called granulomatous lobular mastitis (GLM). It aims to find the most effective and safe option for women with this condition.
This trial tests tocilizumab, a medication that reduces inflammation, for granulomatous lobular mastitis (GLM)—a rare, persistent breast inflammation. If your GLM hasn't responded to steroid therapy or you can't tolerate steroids, this study may help reduce inflammation and symptoms.
This study looks at different ways to treat granulomatous lobular mastitis (GLM), a type of breast inflammation that is not an infection. The goal is to find which treatment works best for people with this condition.
This study looks at a non-surgical (“conservative”) approach to treating granulomatous lobular mastitis, along with help for mental health symptoms. It may help people whose breast inflammation and mental health concerns happen together.
