About this study

Official title: Study of the (Intravenously Injected) Indocyanine Green Distribution in the Margins of Breast Cancer After Tumorectomy

We will observe if ICG fluorescence correlates with margins of breast tumours after iv injection of the contrast agent

Read the detailed description

In the operating room:

ICG 0.25 mg/kg will be given as an iv injection at least 20 minutes before the beginning of the operation.

The surgeon will remove the tumour (and the axillary lymph nodes) as usual.

Optionally, peroperative "in vivo" imaging of the dissection of the tumour using the PDE camera will be performed.

In the Laboratory of Pathology:

The "fresh" tumorectomy piece will be processed as usual, and the thick sections for the evaluation of the margins as well as the tissues samples from each margins will be imaged using the PDE in comparison with the fluorescence in the mid part of the tumour and the fluorescent areas will be so delimited (and later analyzed in comparison with standards of known fluorescence intensity).

After fixation, the tumoral tissues will be thereafter processed "as usual".

If fluorescent foci are identified at the level of the axillary piece (in case of CALND), they will be dissected and processed as other lymph nodes. Additionally, metastatic lymph nodes -if present- will also be controlled for their microscopic fluorescence or not.

Using the near-infrared fluorescence microscope, the slides corresponding to the macroscopically fluorescent structures will be analyzed.

What is being measured

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

  1. - Evaluation of the ability of NIR imaging to show (fluorescent) the tumoral volumes, the tumoral tissues to be analyzed by the pathologist, especially at the level of the operative margins

    Measured: 17 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. - Analysis of the correlation between (levels of) ICG fluorescence and tumour margins as defined at the microscopic level by the pathologist

    Measured: 17 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Indocyanine Green in people with Breast Cancer, run by Jules Bordet Institute at 1 site in Belgium.

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 2 inclusion and 9 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 15 Dec 2023. 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 Belgium. 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?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

- Evaluation of the ability of NIR imaging to show (fluorescent) the tumoral volumes, the tumoral tissues to be analyzed by the pathologist, especially at the level of the operative margins (time frame: 17 months). 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 15 Dec 2023.
