Ductal Lavage Versus Corticosteroids Therapy for Idiopathic Granulomatous Mastitis: a Multicenter, Randomized, Open-labelled, Non-inferior Trial.
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Ductal lavage and Corticosteroid therapy for Granulomatous Mastitis. Completed, enrolled 140 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
A single-arm, proof-of-concept trial has shown the safety and efficacy of ductal lavage as a treatment for idiopathic granulomatous mastitis patients (Manuscript accepted in Journal of Surgical Research 2018). In this multicenter, randomized, open-labeled, non-inferior trial, the investigators are going to enroll eligible granulomatous mastitis patients and randomized them into ductal lavage versus. corticosteroids therapy group. The primary endpoint of this study is the complete clinical response rate at 1 year after the enrollment. The aim of this study is to provide evidence for the management of idiopathic granulomatous mastitis patients .

Interventions
The patients received ductal lavage and breast massage every other day for two weeks. We used lidocaine (1%) for local anesthesia around the nipple. We used a lacrimal probe to identify 4-5 openings in the lactiferous ducts on the nipple and inserted the infusion cannula (21-23G). A total of 25ml of irrigation solution (5 ml of 2% lidocaine, 40 mg of triamcinolone acetonide, 20 ml of 0.9% saline and 1.0 g of ceftriaxone) was pumped into the ducts over 20-25 minutes. The patient returned to the clinic the next day for breast massage, and the cycle was repeated for two weeks.
Methylprednisolone(Common brand names: Medrol) or prednisone 20-40mg, qd for two weeks, then temper the dose gradually, and then 20mg qd for maintenance (The total duration of the treatment is 6 months).
