3D-printed absorbable breast implants for reconstruction
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests a new type of breast implant made from a special material that your body can safely absorb over time. It is designed for women who need breast reconstruction after breast cancer surgery, aiming to restore shape without leaving a permanent implant.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman aged 18 to 70 with newly diagnosed breast cancer that hasn't spread beyond the breast.
- You are willing to have surgery that removes the breast tissue but keeps the nipple and areola.
- You are healthy enough for surgery and daily activities are not too limited (ECOG score 0 or 1).
- If you had chemotherapy before surgery, the surgery must happen within 8 weeks of finishing chemo.
- You do not have inflammatory breast cancer, cancer in the nipple area, or other active cancers.

This trial tests a new 3D printed biodegradable mesh used during breast reconstruction right after a mastectomy for breast cancer. It aims to see how well the mesh works for cosmetic results and safety.
This trial tests whether 3D imaging can help create custom breast implants for women who have had a mastectomy (breast removal) due to cancer or as a preventive measure. The goal is to improve the fit and appearance of the implants.
This trial studies breast reconstruction using implants after mastectomy (breast removal surgery). It aims to understand how different types of implants work and how patients recover.
This study looks at how safe and effective a special type of breast implant (called a tissue expander) is for people who need breast reconstruction or revision. The implant has a built-in valve that lets doctors adjust it over time.
This trial compares two types of breast reconstruction after mastectomy: using your own tissue (DIEP flap) versus using an implant. It aims to see which gives better results.
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.
