About this study

Official title: Sentinel Lymph Node Mapping and Biopsy For Predicting the Axillary Lymph Node Status After Completion of Preoperative Neoadjuvant Systemic Chemotherapy in Patients Who Had Biopsy-Proven Axillary Lymph Node Involvement at Initial Presentation

The purpose of the present proposed clinical trial will be to assess the utility of SLN mapping and biopsy for predicting the final axillary status after completion of preoperative neoadjuvant systemic chemotherapy in patients who had biopsy-proven positive axillary lymph nodes at initial presentation

Read the detailed description

Multiple retrospective reports have verified the overall utility of post-treatment sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping and biopsy for assessing the final axillary lymph node status in breast cancer patients who have undergone preoperative neoadjuvant systemic chemotherapy. However, to date, only one report, in abstract form, currently exists within the literature which specifically assesses the utility of post-treatment SLN mapping and biopsy after completion of preoperative neoadjuvant systemic chemotherapy in patients with biopsy-proven positive axillary lymph nodes at initial presentation.

The purpose of the present proposed clinical trial will be to assess the utility of SLN mapping and biopsy for predicting the final axillary status after completion of preoperative neoadjuvant systemic chemotherapy in patients who had biopsy-proven positive axillary lymph nodes at initial presentation.

All eligible patients must have biopsy-proven invasive breast cancer and must also have biopsy-proven involvement of the axillary lymph nodes at initial presentation. Biopsy-proven involvement of the axillary lymph nodes at initial presentation will be based on fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytology, core/Tru-cut biopsy, or pre-treatment SLN biopsy. All eligible patients will have undergone preoperative neoadjuvant systemic chemotherapy.

After completion of preoperative neoadjuvant systemic chemotherapy and on the day of definitive breast cancer surgery, patients will be injected intradermally with approximately 400 microcuries of Tc-99m sulfur colloid. Patients will undergo preoperative lymphoscintigraphy in the nuclear medicine department to access axillary and extra-axillary sites of localization. Intraoperatively, patients will also be injected with approximately 4 to 5 mL of 1% isosulfan blue dye (by intradermal, intraparenchymal, or subareolar route). Patients will undergo intraoperative identification and biopsy of all SLN candidates. A confirmatory axillary lymph node dissection will then be performed on all patients.

The SLN mapping and biopsy procedure that we are proposing to perform on these breast cancer patients with known positive axillary lymph nodes at initial presentation will be done in an identical fashion to the SLN mapping and biopsy procedure that is currently performed as a routine and acceptable standard of care on every breast cancer patient with a clinically negative axilla at presentation.

The primary endpoints of this study would be address the success of identification of the SLN and the accuracy of the SLN mapping and biopsy procedure in women having undergone preoperative neoadjuvant systemic chemotherapy who had biopsy-proven involvement of their axillary lymph nodes at initial presentation. We would like to show that the proportion of women with false negative SLN biopsy results is less than 10%.

The study will require a minimum of 49 women with newly diagnosed breast cancer with biopsy-proven involvement of their axillary lymph nodes at initial presentation that have undergone preoperative neoadjuvant systemic chemotherapy. The study accrual time may take in the range of approximately 24 to 36 months to complete.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. the proportion of women with successful identification of the SLN with a 95% confidence interval of not greater than 10%.

    Measured: up to 36 months

  2. the accuracy with a 95% confidence interval of not greater than 10%.

    Measured: up to 36 months

  3. Insure the proportion of women with false negative SLN results do not exceed 10%

    Measured: up to 36 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Sentinel node mapping in people with Invasive Breast Cancer, run by Stephen Povoski at 1 site 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?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. 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 25 Sep 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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?

the proportion of women with successful identification of the SLN with a 95% confidence interval of not greater than 10%. (time frame: up to 36 months). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 25 Sep 2012.
