Scientific titleProspective, open-label trial evaluating Outcomes of immediate implant-based Breast Reconstruction using an Acellular Dermal matrix (ADM) (POBRAD trial)
Study acronymPOBRAD
Study objectivesTo date there have been a number of retrospective cohorts and case series reporting on outcomes following breast reconstruction using the porcine derived, non-crossed- linked surgical acellular dermal matrix Strattice (LifeCell , Branchburg, NJ) .

An alternative ADM is SurgiMend PRS, (TEI Bioscience Inc. Boston, MA), which is derived from foetal, bovine dermis enriched in type III collagen from which all cellular components have been removed, leaving a structurally intact and biochemically inert extracellular matrix made of elastin, collagen and glycoprotein components.matrix. It is believed to act as a scaffold allowing in-growth and regeneration of tissue following implantation and adding structural support and additional soft tissue cover.

The product is CE marked with an established safety record and indicated as an adjunct in a number of surgical procedures including breast reconstruction. As yet there is no prospective data on ADM use in breast reconstruction to validate clinical efficacy, complication rates and cost-benefit. This study is intended to provide robust, prospective clinically validated outcomes for the use of ADM’s (SurgiMend PRS) as an adjunct in implant breast reconstruction.

InterventionThe POBRAD study aims to prospectively evaluate the complication rate, clinical and cosmetic outcome together with the cost-benefit analysis of the use of an acellular dermal matrix (ADM) for immediate implant based breast reconstruction in a population of newly diagnosed breast cancer patients.

Patients will be assessed for mastectomy-site complication rate, implant related complication rate and return to the theatre rate at post-operative, 1, 3 and 12 months post surgery.
