ACRIN 6657 was designed as a prospective study to test MRI for ability to predict response to treatment and risk-of-recurrence in patients with stage 2 or 3 breast cancer receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT). ACRIN 6657 was conducted as a companion study to CALGB 150007, a correlative science study evaluating tissue-based biomarkers in the setting of neoadjuvant treatment of breast cancer. Collectively, CALGB 150007 and ACRIN 6657 formed the basis of the multicenter Investigation of Serial Studies to Predict Your Therapeutic Response with Imaging and moLecular Analysis (I-SPY TRIAL) breast cancer trial, a study of imaging and tissue-based biomarkers for predicting response and survivalAdd protocol references for all three studies.
Participant Eligibility and Enrollment: Criteria for inclusion were patients enrolling on CALGB 150007 with T3 tumors measuring at least 3 cm in diameter by clinical exam or imaging and receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy with an anthracycline-cyclophosphamide regimen alone or followed by a taxane. Pregnant patients and those with ferromagnetic prostheses were excluded from the study. The study was open to enrollment from May 2002 to March 2006. 237 patients were enrolled, of which 230 met eligibility criteria.
Imaging time points: MRI exams were performed within four weeks prior to starting anthracycline-cyclophosphamide chemotherapy (T1, MRI1), at least 2 weeks after the first cycle of AC and prior to the second cycle of AC (T2, MRI2), between anthracycline-cyclophosphamide treatment and taxane therapy if taxane was administered (T3, MRI3), and after the final chemotherapy treatment and prior to surgery (T4, MRI4). The study schema is shown in Figure 1

Imaging protocol: MR imaging was performed on a 1.5 Tesla field strength scanner using a dedicated breast radiofrequency coil. The image acquisition protocol included a localization scan and T2-weighted sequence followed by a contrast-enhanced T1-weighted series. All imaging was performed unilaterally over the symptomatic breast and in the sagittal orientation. The contrast-enhanced series consisted of a high resolution (≤1mm in-plane spatial resolution) three-dimensional, fat-suppressed, T1-weighted gradient echo sequence with TR≤20 ms, TE = 4.5 ms, flip angle ≤ 45º, 16-18 cm field-of-view, minimum matrix 256x192, 64 slices, slice thickness ≤ 2.5 mm. Scan time length for the T1-weighted sequence was required to be between 4.5 and 5 minutes. The sequence was acquired once before contrast injection and repeated at least twice following injection.
Tumor diameter measurement and volumetric analysis: Tumor longest diameter (LD) was measured by the site radiologist as the greatest extent of disease on baseline MR images, including intervening areas of non-enhancing tissue. The same measurement direction was used on all subsequent MRI exams. The primary predictor variable, functional tumor volume (FTV) was measured from contrast-enhanced images using the signal enhancement ratio (SER) method. Voluetric analysis, including Quality Control assessment, was performed centrally at the breast MR imaging laboratory at University of California at San Francisco (UCSF).

The processing of the MR image data for ACRIN 6657 consisted of the following steps between image acquisition and the creation of this shared data set on TCIA:
While every effort was made to preserve the integrity of both the original image data and image meta-data (DICOM attributes, public and private), multiple file transfers and strict adherence to HIPPA guidelines for patient confidentiality may have resulted in loss of some data. If any questions arise, or patient PHI is found in any data on this collection, please contact David Newitt at the Breast Imaging Research Program, UCSF (david.newitt@ucsf.edu).
In addition to the complete set of ACRIN 6657 imaging studies, curated data sets based on UCSF QC assessment, protocol compliance and data completeness are provided for download in the form of TCIA shared lists. These image data sets are accompanied by Excel files with patient clinical and outcome data.

One patient in the image data collection (I-SPY ID 1079 ) does not appear in the Feb. 2, 2011 I-SPY FINAL LOCKED clinical data set. So no clinical data is available.

Level 2a consists of 708 MR studies (208 subjects) in the UCSF image database which, following quality review in 2014, were judged to have sufficiently good image quality and protocol compliance for volumetric DCE SER analysis. Rejection criteria included: incomplete volumetric DCE acquisitions, lack of a 2nd post-contrast acquisition, variability in fat suppression across the image, observed patient motion during the DCE acquisition

This data set is not provided as a shared list, as it is not recommended for use in any analysis. It is described here because it is the data set from which the Level 3 (primary aim analysis) set was derived.
Level 2b consists of 707 MR studies (207 subjects) in the UCSF image database which were submitted to ACRIN at the close of the trial in 2008. Inclusion and exclusion was determined by quality and protocol reviews available at that time. In addition to the exclusion criteria listed for Level 2a, studies done with imaging in the axial plane, in violation of the sagittal orientation specified in the trial imaging protocol, were excluded due to processing limitations of the analysis software. Similarly, bi-lateral sagittal acquisitions (alternating left and right volumetric acquisitions) were excluded.
