Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Intraoperative injection (in vivo) and Postoperative injection (ex vivo) in people with Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy and Colon Cancer, run by Chung-Ang University at 1 site in South Korea.

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 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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

Contact In-Taik Chang, M.D., Ph.D. (82-2-6299-1562, caumed5@naver.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Accuracy & sensitivity of sentinel lymph node mapping (time frame: After confirmed pathological report). 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?
