Trial summary

This is a pain survey study that will compare the level of discomfort experienced by breast cancer patients after injection of either technetium-labeled sulfur colloid or technetium-labeled tilmanocept, both FDA-approved agents used for sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB). 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
  • Women only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Female patients, aged 18 years or older with a diagnosis of primary breast cancer or ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) with planned Sentinel node biopsy (SLN) biopsy as part of the surgical plan were approached at preoperative clinic visits of the principal investigator. (Anne Wallace)

Who may be able to join

  • The patient has a diagnosis of biopsy-proven primary breast cancer or a diagnosis of pure ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) who will be undergoing intraoperative lymphatic mapping as part of their standard surgical plan.
  • The patient has provided written informed consent before participating in the study, as has his/her responsible caregiver, if applicable.
  • The patient is a candidate for surgical intervention, with lymph node mapping being a part of the surgical plan.
  • The patient is greater than 18 years of age at the time of consent.
  • The patient has an performance status of Grade 0 - 2.
  • The patient has a clinical negative node status at the time of study entry.
  • If the patients is of child bearing potential, the patient has a negative pregnancy test within 72 hours prior to administration of radiopharmaceutical, has been surgically sterilized, or has been postmenopausal for at least 1 year.

Who cannot join

  • The patient is pregnant or lactating.
  • The patient has clinical or radiological evidence of metastatic cancer including palpably abnormal or enlarged lymph nodes

About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-blinded, Controlled Clinical Trial Comparing Post-injection Site Pain of Technetium-labeled Tilmanocept Versus Technetium-labeled Sulfur Colloid in Patients Undergoing Sentinel Lymph Node Mapping Procedure for Breast Cancer

This is a pain survey study that will compare the level of discomfort experienced by breast cancer patients after injection of either technetium-labeled sulfur colloid or technetium-labeled tilmanocept, both FDA-approved agents used for sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB). Breast cancer patients who are already scheduled for SLNB as part of their original surgical plan will be asked to participate in this study and be randomized to receive either technetium-labeled sulfur colloid or technetium-labeled tilmanocept. After injection, patients will complete pain questionnaires to measure the amount of discomfort they are feeling during and after they receive the injection. There will be no change to the patient's treatment plan other than the addition of pain questionnaires. The investigators' hypothesis is that patients will feel less discomfort after injection of tilmanocept versus sulfur colloid.

What participants receive

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

  • TilmanoceptDrug

    Also called Lymphoseek

  • Sulfur ColloidDrug

Study groups in NCT02065232
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
TilmanoceptPatients will receive technetium-labeled tilmanocept, which is FDA approved for sentinel lymph node mapping in breast cancer.
Receives: Drug: Tilmanocept
Sulfur ColloidPatients will receive technetium-labeled sulfur colloid, which is FDA approved for sentinel lymph node mapping in breast cancer.
Receives: Drug: Sulfur Colloid

What is being measured

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

  1. Change from baseline level of discomfort

    After injection of either tilmanocept or sulfur colloid, patients will be asked to fill out a pain questionnaire at the above time points.

    Measured: 1,2,3,4,5,15, 30 minutes after injection

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Visualization of Sentinel Lymph Nodes on Lymphoscintigraphy

    After injection of sulfur colloid or tilmanocept, patients will undergo lymphoscintigraphy imaging (as is standard of care for sentinel lymph node mapping) at 5, 30, and 60 minutes. We will analyze the time it takes for sentinel lymph nodes to appear on these images comparing tilmanocept versus sulfur colloid.

    Measured: 15,30,60 minutes after injection

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Cancer, run by University of California, San Diego 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 7 inclusion and 2 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 14 Aug 2019. 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?

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?

Change from baseline level of discomfort (time frame: 1,2,3,4,5,15, 30 minutes after injection). 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 14 Aug 2019.
