About this study

Official title: Detection of Sentinel Lymph Nodes in Patients With Endometrial Cancer Undergoing Robotic-Assisted Staging: Comparison of Isosulfan Blue and Indocyanine Green Dyes With Fluorescence Imaging

This clinical trial studies lymph node mapping in patients with endometrial cancer. Lymph node mapping may allow for limited removal of lymph nodes in as part of endometrial cancer staging and treatment.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

  1. To estimate the negative predictive value of pelvic sentinel lymph node (SLN) in endometrial cancer to predict nodal metastasis.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:

II. To examine the ability of sentinel lymph nodes to increase the detection of metastatic disease through ultra-sectioning and immuno-histochemical (IHC) staining by comparing IHC results and standard hematoxylin and eosin (H\&E) results.

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo sentinel lymph node detection using fluorescence imaging with indocyanine green solution and isosulfan blue and sentinel lymph node biopsy and detection of sentinel lymph nodes is noted in the within 30 minutes of injection of the dye, followed by full pelvic lymph node dissection and aortic lymph node dissection as indicated, and standard hysterectomy and salpingo-oophorectomy.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for 2 years, every 6 months for 3 years for a total of 5 years according to the standard surveillance guidelines for endometrial cancer.

What is being measured

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

  1. Negative Predictive Value of Sentinel Lymph Node Prediction of Metastatic Disease

    NPV is found by dividing the number of true negatives by the number of all patients without pelvic lymph node metastases. Exact 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the proportions will be calculated.

    Measured: average of 1-14 days after the procedure when final pathologic evaluation has been completed

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Percentage of Metastatic Cases Found Using Ultra-sectioning and IHC Staining

    The percentage of metastatic cases analyzed by H\&E will be compared to those of H\&E-plus- IHC/ultrastaging using a "z-test".

    Measured: average of 1-14 days after the procedure when final pathologic evalulation has been completed

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing sentinel lymph node detection, indocyanine green solution and isosulfan blue in people with Endometrial Cancer, run by Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center at 2 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 3 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 22 Mar 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 22 Jun 2021). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Negative Predictive Value of Sentinel Lymph Node Prediction of Metastatic Disease (time frame: average of 1-14 days after the procedure when final pathologic evaluation has been completed). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01818739, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 22 Mar 2023.
