Trial summary

The investigators hypothesis is that if sensitivity and specificity are found to be significantly higher than the current reports with Technesium-99 and ISB colorimetric dye, SLN biopsies might allow omission of full lymphadenectomy in lower-risk cases, thereby limiting peri-operative morbidity.

About this study

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

The investigators hypothesis is that if sensitivity and specificity are found to be significantly higher than the current reports with Technesium-99 and ISB colorimetric dye, SLN biopsies might allow omission of full lymphadenectomy in lower-risk cases, thereby limiting peri-operative morbidity. SLN biopsies might also improve the detection of metastatic disease, essentially lowering the recognized false-negative rate of standard lymphadenectomy analyzed by routine H\&E pathologic analysis.

Read the detailed description

The study objective is to compare two sentinel lymph node detection technologies [fluorescence imaging and Indocyanine Green (ICG) dye verses standard laparoscopic colorimetric analysis using Isosulfan Blue (ISB) dye] for sensitivity and specificity of detecting metastatic disease in pelvic lymph nodes of women with endometrial cancer undergoing robotic-assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy and lymphadenectomy. The following three specific aims would be addressed in this research proposal:

Specific Aim 1: To determine the ability of mapping bilaterally pelvic SLN in women with endometrial cancer undergoing robotic-assisted laparoscopic staging comparing two different methods (i.e., comparing the combination of colorimetric analysis-ISB dye + fluorescence imaging-ICG dye vs. colorimetric analysis-ISB dye alone).

Specific Aim 2: To estimate the negative predictive value (NPV) of pelvic SLN in endometrial cancer with respect to predicting nodal metastasis.

Specific Aim 3: To evaluate 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.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Pelvic Sentinel Lymph Nodes (SLN) in Endometrial Cancer Patients Detected by Either ICG and/or ISB Dyes.

    Measured: through 6 weeks post-operative

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Negative Predictive Value (NPV) of Pelvic SLN in Endometrial Cancer in Relation to the Number of Nodes With Metastasis.

    The standard definition for negative predictive value was used to calculate NPV. There was one false negative SLN in this study, 39 true positive sentinel lymph nodes, and 140 negative pelvic metastatic patients.

    NPV = 140/141=99.3%

    Measured: through 6 weeks post-operative

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing ISB dye and standard white light imaging and ICG dye and FireFly fluorescence imaging in people with Endometrial Cancer, run by AdventHealth 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 6 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 10 Sep 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 10 Sep 2019). 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?

Number of Pelvic Sentinel Lymph Nodes (SLN) in Endometrial Cancer Patients Detected by Either ICG and/or ISB Dyes. (time frame: through 6 weeks post-operative). 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 10 Sep 2019; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
