Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The objective of the trial is to examine whether enrichment of a fat graft with autologous ASC injected into the breast tissue using traditional technique of ‘small aliquot-injection’ will significantly improve take of the graft and the result of a breast augmentation. The trial will compare fat grafting enriched with ex vivo expanded stem cells to the conventional fat grafting. ;Secondary Objective: Screening of radiological changes in the breast after conventional and stem cell-enriched fat injection as based on MRI and mammography. ;Primary end point(s): Measurement of residual volume of fat transplants as based on MRI one year after lipoinjection to the breast. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The MRI examinations will be performed prior to surgery, immediately after surgery (maximum 30 min) and after 12 months. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): 1. Measurement of residual volume of fat transplants as based on MRI four months after lipoinjection to the breast. 2. Radiological changes in the breast after conventional and stem cell-enriched fat injection as based on MRI four months after lipoinjection to the breast. 3. Radiological changes in the breast after conventional and stem cell-enriched fat injection as based on MRI one year after lipoinjection to the breast. 4. Radiological changes in the breast after conventional and stem cell-enriched fat injection as based on mammography one year after lipoinjection to the breast. 5. Possible adverse events that do not normally occur in relation to fat grafting to the breast and are not described in the risk assessment of this study. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The MRI and physical examinations will be performed prior to surgery, immediately after surgery (maximum 30 min) and after 4 and 12 months. Mammography will be performed one month prior to surgery and 12 months after surgery. | — |
