About this study

Official title: French Randomized Sentinel Node Multicentric Study

RATIONALE: It is not yet known whether injecting technetium Tc 99m sulfur colloid and blue dye near the tumor is more effective than injecting them near the nipple in identifying sentinel lymph nodes in patients with stage I or stage II breast cancer.

PURPOSE: Randomized diagnostic trial to compare the effectiveness of injecting technetium Tc 99m sulfur colloid and blue dye near the tumor with that of injections around the nipple in detecting sentinel lymph nodes in patients who have stage I or stage II breast cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the optimal mode of injection (peritumoral vs periareolar) of patent blue V dye and technetium Tc 99m sulfur colloid in patients with stage I or II breast cancer undergoing sentinel lymph node identification.
  • Determine the reduction of morbidity associated with breast cancer surgery, in terms of local control and survival, in patients undergoing sentinel lymph node identification with these drugs.
  • Determine the evolution of disease in patients who have undergone this procedure and do not show histological invasion of the sentinel lymph node.

OUTLINE: This is a randomized, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to participating center. Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

  • Arm I: Patients receive peritumoral injections of patent blue V dye and technetium Tc 99m sulfur colloid.
  • Arm II: Patients receive periareolar injections as in arm I. Patients in both arms showing histological metastasis of the sentinel lymph node or without identification of the sentinel lymph node undergo standard axillary lymph node dissection.

Patients are followed for disease evolution.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 450 patients (225 per arm) will be accrued for this study within 2-2.5 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing patent blue V dye, radionuclide imaging and sentinel lymph node biopsy in people with Breast Cancer, run by Centre Paul Strauss at 7 sites in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 May 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00052676, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 May 2013; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
