About this study

Official title: Sentinel Lymph Node Mapping for Endometrial Cancer

This clinical trial studies lymph node mapping in patients with newly diagnosed endometrial cancer undergoing surgery. Lymph node mapping may help in planning surgery to remove endometrial cancer and affected lymph nodes.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine the detection rate, sensitivity, and negative predictive value of sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy in endometrial cancer patients.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To compare different surgical modalities (open procedures, minimally invasive procedures, and single-site technology) and different injectants (isosulfan blue and indocyanine green) for SLN biopsy.

II. To determine total operating room time (from the time the patient enters the room to the time the patient leaves the room) as well as console time (robotic)/operating time for minimally invasive procedures.

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo SLN mapping using isosulfan blue and/or indocyanine green solution injected directly into the cervix. Following SLN identification and biopsy, patients undergo hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, and/or complete pelvic lymphadenectomy. Patients expressing SLN positive for metastasis undergo para-aortic lymphadenectomy.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 2-4 weeks.

Being tested
lymph node mapping, sentinel lymph node biopsy, isosulfan blue, indocyanine green solution, therapeutic conventional surgery

What is being measured

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

  1. Sensitivity of Sentential Lymph Node (SLN) Biopsy

    Sensitivity estimated as the proportion of true positives among participants with lymph node metastases. Sensitivity Calculation= the number of patients with a positive SLN over those patients with a positive SLN plus those patients with a false negative lymph node.

    Measured: Up to 4 weeks

  2. Number of Participants in Whom a SLN is Detected

    Detection Rate as defined by number of participants in whom a SLN is detected

    Measured: Up to 4 weeks

  3. Percent of Hemipelvises Identified With SLN

    Detection rate, as defined by percent of hemipelvises identified with SLN

    Measured: Up to 4 weeks

  4. Number of Participants With Sentinel Nodes Per Side of Pelvis

    Detection rate, as defined as number of participants with a sentinel node found per side of pelvis

    Measured: Up to 4 weeks

  5. False Negative Rate as Defined as Proportion of Participants With False Negative Detection

    False negative rate = 1-sensitivity or the number of patients with a false negative SLN over the number of patients with a positive SLN plus those with a false negative lymph node

    Measured: Up to 4 weeks

  6. Percent of True Positive SLN Identified With Surgical Modalities (Open Procedures, Minimally Invasive Procedures, and Single-site Technology)

    The percent of true positive SLN identified with surgical modalities using pairwise comparisons for each surgical modality. Comparisons will be performed using two sample tests of proportions based on a normal approximation.

    Measured: Up to 4 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Percent of True Positive SLNs Using Isosulfan Blue and Indocyanine Green Solution

    Percent of true positive SLN identified will be compared between injectants utilized using a two sample test of proportions based on a normal approximation. Comparisons will be performed using two sample tests of proportions based on a normal approximation.

    Measured: Up to 4 weeks

  2. Total Operating Room Time in Minutes

    Total operating room time will be estimated as a mean with 95% confidence interval if the data have an approximately normal distribution. Otherwise, the median and a bootstrapped 95% confidence interval for the median will be reported. Similar summaries will be provided for the console time (robotic)/ operating time.

    Measured: From the time the patient enters the room to the time the patient leaves the room, assessed up to 4 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing lymph node mapping, sentinel lymph node biopsy and isosulfan blue in people with Stage I Endometrial Carcinoma and Stage II Endometrial Carcinoma, run by Case Comprehensive Cancer Center 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 8 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Aug 2020. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 17 Aug 2020). 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?

Sensitivity of Sentential Lymph Node (SLN) Biopsy (time frame: Up to 4 weeks). The study lists 6 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 27 Aug 2020.
