Secondary study designRandomised controlled trial
Study type Participant information sheet
Scientific titleA Phase III Trial of Surgery versus Active Monitoring for LOw RISk Ductal Carcinoma in Situ (DCIS)
Study acronymLORIS
Study objectivesThe LORIS Trial aims to establish whether patients with newly diagnosed low risk DCIS can safely avoid surgery without detriment to their wellbeing (psychological and physical) and whether those patients who do require surgery can be identified by pathological and radiological means.
Ethics approval(s)14/WM/0083; First MREC approval date 28/04/2014
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedDuctal carcinoma in situ
InterventionComprehensive site training will be complimented by a patient-friendly DVD designed to ensure consistent and appropriate use of terminology. Patients will be randomised between standard surgery and active monitoring with annual mammography. Follow-up will be for a minimum of 10 years. Active Monitoring, Patients will be actively monitored by annual mammography.; Follow Up Length: 120 month(s); Study Entry : Registration and One or More Randomisations
Intervention typeOther
