About this study

Official title: Integration of SPECT/CT Lymphoscintigraphy Into Breast Cancer Radiation for LymphaticSparing

RATIONALE: Diagnostic procedures, such as single-photon emission computed tomography and computed tomography lymphoscintigraphy, may help lower the dose of radiation therapy after surgery, and help prevent lymphedema.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying single-photon emission computed tomography and computed tomography lymphoscintigraphy followed by intensity-modulated radiation therapy to see how well they work in treating patients who have undergone surgery for stage I or stage II breast cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • To assess the feasibility of integrating Philips Precedence SPECT/CT® images with GE PET/CT Fusion software to reduce radiation dosimetry delivered to lymph nodes draining the arm in patients after surgery for stage I or II breast cancer.
  • To examine the differences in radiation dosimetry in these patients using 3-D conformal radiotherapy with vs without the Philips Precedence SPECT/CT®.
  • To compare reduction in lymph node radiation dosimetry in these patients using single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and computed tomography (CT) with 3-D conformal radiotherapy vs intensity-modulated radiotherapy.

OUTLINE: Patients receive filtered technetium Tc 99m sulfur colloid (TcSC) intradermally and undergo single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and computed tomography (CT) imaging at the time of TcSC and 2 hours after injection. Patients then undergo intensity-modulated radiotherapy of the whole breast, including the low axilla and lymph nodes identified by the Phillips Precedence SPECT/CT® at a dose determined by computer analysis of the imaging information.

Patients complete a lymphedema screening questionnaire at baseline and at 12 and 24 months after treatment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Philips Precedence SPECT/CT® and GE PET/CT Fusion software integration

  2. Dosimetry differences between 3-D conformal radiotherapy with vs without the Philips Precedence SPECT/CT®

  3. Lymph node dosimetry differences between single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and computed tomography (CT) with 3-D conformal radiotherapy vs intensity-modulated radiotherapy

  4. Association between radiation exposure and limb volume, circumferential wrist measurements, circumferential forearm measurements, and extra-cellular fluid measurements

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing screening questionnaire administration, computed tomography and lymphoscintigraphy in people with Breast Cancer and Lymphedema, run by Mayo Clinic 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?

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 9 Oct 2018. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Philips Precedence SPECT/CT® and GE PET/CT Fusion software integration. The study lists 4 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 9 Oct 2018.
