Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult
  1. Patients with clinical stage I lung cancer for whom surgical resection is planned are eligible. Histologic confirmation of lung cancer is not required prior to registration or surgical exploration. Preoperative mediatinoscopy is allowed but not required in those patients with indications for mediatinoscopy. It is preferred that that mediatinoscopy be done at a different setting (prior to registration), but the procedure may be done at the same setting as the lobectomy.
  2. No prior therapy for this diagnosis.
  3. No prior treatment with mediastinal radiation therapy.
  4. Age ≥ 18 years of age.
  5. ECOG performance status: 0-2.

About this study

Official title: Intraoperative Sentinel Node Mapping In Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

RATIONALE: Diagnostic procedures such as sentinel lymph node mapping may improve the ability to detect cancer that has spread to the lymph nodes.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well sentinel lymph node mapping works in detecting cancer that has spread to the lymph nodes in patients who are undergoing surgery for stage I non-small cell lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine the feasibility and accuracy of intraoperative sentinel lymph node mapping using technetium Tc 99 sulfur colloid in patients with stage I non-small cell lung cancer.
  • Determine the percentage of patients in which at least 1 positive sentinel lymph node is identified using this procedure.
  • Determine the percentage of patients undergoing this procedure who are found to have positive sentinel lymph nodes with no metastases in other intrathoracic lymph nodes.

Secondary

  • Determine the percentage of patients undergoing this procedure whose disease stage is upgraded due to detection of micrometastases in sentinel lymph nodes.
  • Correlate the presence of micrometastases in sentinel lymph nodes with survival in patients undergoing this procedure.
  • Determine the percentage of patients undergoing this procedure with "skip metastases" pattern (NZ) sentinel lymph nodes.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive an intraoperative intratumoral injection of technetium Tc 99 sulfur colloid. At least 10 minutes later, patients undergo sentinel lymph node mapping using a gamma probe. Patients then undergo sentinel lymph node dissection and tumor resection. Pathology assays are performed using sentinel lymph node tissue, including hematoxylin and eosin staining, serial sections, and immunohistochemistry using the AE1/AE3/PCK2b cytokeratin antibody.

Patients are followed every 6 months for 2 years and then annually thereafter.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing technetium-99 in people with Lung Cancer, run by Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology at 12 sites in United States.

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 30 Jun 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 12 sites in United States. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Sentinel node identification (time frame: at time of procedure). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00089310, 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 30 Jun 2016.
