OneMark implant to help locate breast cancer for surgery and follow-up
Official title: Pilot Post-Marketing Study on the Efficacy of OneMark in Identifying Breast Cancer For Surgery and Over Time in High and Low Density Breast Tissue
Run by University of California, San Diego · NCT07087691 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This test checks whether the OneMark implant helps surgeons and radiologists see breast cancers more clearly during surgery and during imaging follow-up in adults who have or may have breast cancer.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (≥18) who can consent and are either undergoing surgery for ultrasound-visible T1/T2 breast cancer or are undergoing biopsy for BI-RADS 4 or 5 lesions with a unifocal, ultrasound-visible lesion <5 cm are ideal candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with multifocal or non‑ultrasound‑visible disease, lesions larger than 5 cm, those who cannot undergo biopsy or anesthesia, pregnant patients, or those ineligible for device implantation are unlikely to benefit.

What this trial studies
This is a prospective, open-label, single-site study of the OneMark visualization device in two groups: patients undergoing breast cancer resection and patients undergoing biopsy and surveillance. In the surgery group the OneMark device will be implanted before surgery and compared directly to the SAVI SCOUT wireless localization system for visibility before, during, and after surgery, with surgeons completing a visibility questionnaire. In the surveillance group the OneMark fiducial will be placed at biopsy and radiologists will rate its detectability at 1, 3, and 6 months, with an optional 12-month check. The study enrolls both surgeon and radiologist investigators to capture real-world intraoperative and imaging visibility data at a single academic center.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, OneMark could make tumor localization and long-term imaging follow-up easier and more reliable, potentially reducing missed targets and re-operations.
How similar studies have gone: Wireless localization systems such as SAVI SCOUT have demonstrated clinical utility for intraoperative localization, but direct data on the OneMark device are limited and this application is relatively novel.

Inclusion Criteria: * Provision of signed and dated informed consent form. * Stated willingness to comply with all study procedures and availability for the duration of the study. * Age ≥ 18 years. * In good general health as evidenced by medical history. * Deemed able to undergo general anesthesia for surgical resection. * For individuals who are capable of menstruating: must be post-menopausal, defined as no menses in the 12 months before enrollment or age \> 60 years. No additional requirements - besides the age requirement in inclusion criterion # 3 - are needed for individuals who are not capable of menstruating. For surgery cohort only: * Male and female patients with stage T1/T2 breast cancer visible by ultrasound. For surveillance cohort only: * Male and female patients with abnormal mammogram Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) category 4 or 5. * Ultrasound visible unifocal breast tumor \< 5 cm in diameter. * Low density tissue by mammogram either category A (fatty replaced) or category B (scattered densities); or high density tissue by mammogram either category C (heterogeneously dense) or category D (extremely dense). Exclusion Criteria: * Pregnancy or lactation. * Known allergic reactions to components of OneMark System or SAVI SCOUT. * Feverish illness within 7 days of placement of the device. * Previous treatment with another investigational drug or other intervention within 1 month of enrollment. * Previous use of neoadjuvant chemotherapy within 6 months of enrollment.
