About this study

Official title: A Prospective Investigation of the Use of Fluorescence Imaging on the da Vinci Surgical System for Ultrastaging of Endometrial Cancer by Sentinel Node Assessment

The main purpose of the study is to evaluate the detection rate and accuracy of fluorescence imaging in endometrial cancer staging by sentinel node assessment.

Read the detailed description

In many cancer types, such as breast cancer and melanoma, sentinel node assessment has become the standard of care surgical treatment. Sentinel nodes are the first lymph nodes to which cancer cells are likely to spread from a primary tumor. Removal of a sentinel node for examination accurately predicts whether the cancer has spread to other nodes further along in the nodal chain. Fluorescence imaging with ICG dye (Indocyanine Green) has been used to detect lymph nodes in patients with gastric, colorectal and breast cancer. To date, the use of this technique in endometrial cancer has not been reported.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Fluorescence-guided sentinel lymph node detectionProcedure or surgery

    During standard endometrial cancer surgery, ICG dye will be injected into the cervix to identify sentinel lymph nodes in the pelvis.

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluating detection rate and accuracy of fluorescence-guided sentinel lymph node detection in endometrial cancer.

    Measured: Average expected time of 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Determine the rate of upstaging using fluorescence-guided sentinel lymph node assessment by microscopic evaluation.

    In cancer, "upstaging" is changing the stage used to describe a patient's cancer from a lower stage (less extensive) to a higher stage (more extensive). The sentinel lymph nodes removed during the flourescence guided surgery will be examined microscopically to determine how often upstaging occurred.

    Measured: Average expected time of 12 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Fluorescence-guided sentinel lymph node detection in people with Endometrial Cancer, run by Swedish Medical Center at 3 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?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 7 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 18 Nov 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 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?

Evaluating detection rate and accuracy of fluorescence-guided sentinel lymph node detection in endometrial cancer. (time frame: Average expected time of 12 weeks). 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 18 Nov 2016.
