Trial summary

According to the World Health Organization, breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, and is responsible for 686,000 new cases every year. The WHO also posit that nearly 420,000 women perished from the disease in 2002. Read more about this study

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

Who may be able to join

  • Adult patients over 18 years of age
  • Women with newly diagnosed, operable invasive ductal carcinoma, invasive lobular carcinoma or ductal carcinoma who are deemed breast conservation surgery candidates (i.e. lumpectomy +/- sentinel node biopsy).
  • Breast cancer needs to be unifocal as determined by clinical parameters, e.g. by palpation or by breast imaging findings including mammogram, US and/or breast MRI. Multifocal disease, i.e. cancer confined to one quadrant, is eligible if patients are deemed breast conservation candidates.
  • Subject capable of giving informed consent and participating in the process of consent.

Who cannot join

  • Newly diagnosed breast cancer patients who are not breast conservation candidates and those with multicentric breast cancer (breast cancer documented in multiple quadrants by breast imaging or exam)
  • Pregnant women as determined by urinary or serum beta human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) within 72 hours of surgery
  • Subjects with a history of iodide allergies
  • At-risk patient populations
  • Homeless patients
  • Patients with drug or alcohol dependence
  • Patients unable to participate in the consent process

About this study

Official title: A Phase 0/1, Open-Label, Single Center Study of the Imaging Potential of Indocyanine Green in Subject Undergoing Breast Cancer Surgery

According to the World Health Organization, breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, and is responsible for 686,000 new cases every year. The WHO also posit that nearly 420,000 women perished from the disease in 2002. Surgery remains the best option for patients presenting with operable Stage I, II or III cancers. Breast conservation surgery has been shown to be as efficacious as mastectomy. About 60-70% of these women with operable breast cancer are breast conservation candidates. However, the need to achieve negative tumor margins often requires a second operation (re-excision) in up to 70% of the women having lumpectomy surgery. Currently, tumor margins assessment in the operating room is often assessed grossly by palpation. The ability to evaluate tumor margin using our proposed intraoperative imaging technique may provide the surgeon with an alternative, and hopefully, more sensitive method to assess tumor margins which may decrease re-excision and the morbidity associated with additional surgery, and, perhaps, lower the risk of local regional recurrence.

What participants receive

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

  • Indocyanine GreenDrug

    Also called ICG, The chemical formula is C45H47N2O6S2Na

Study groups in NCT01796041
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
IV Injection of ICGExperimentalNot described
Receives: Drug: Indocyanine Green

What is being measured

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

  1. Identification

    The primary outcome will be the proportion of patient's tumors identified by ICG uptake versus the proportion of patients identified by visual and tactile methods by the surgeon (considered standard of care)

    Measured: After infusion of ICG

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Evaluation

    1. Correlate detected ICG excitation in shave lumpectomy margins with quantity of residual disease in histologic sections.

    Measured: 0-5 years after surgery

  2. Evaluation

    1. evaluate the rate of re-excision in participants compared to a matched case- control cohort with similar clinicopathological characteristics undergoing breast conservation surgery.

    Measured: 0-5 years after surgery

  3. Evaluation

    1. evaluate progression free survival in our study cohorts

    Measured: 0-5 years after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing Indocyanine Green in people with Invasive Ductal Carcinoma and Invasive Lobular Carcinoma, run by Abramson Cancer Center at Penn Medicine 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 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 28 Jan 2021. 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?

Identification (time frame: After infusion of ICG). 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 28 Jan 2021.
