About this study

Official title: Clinical Application of Dual Sentinel Lymph Node Staining Method in Breast Cancer Patients Who Receive Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy; Observational Pilot Study

This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of dual sentinel node staining method using mixture of indocyanine green(ICG) and radioisotope (RI) in breast cancer patients who receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Over the past few years, several studies have found using methylene blue, isosulfan blue, indocyanine green or radioisotope alone by detection method had several disadvantages.

In this study we expects using mixture of indocyanine green (ICG) with radioisotope (RI) has potential to improve sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping in breast cancer patients who receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Read the detailed description
  • 5 patients who receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy with cN1-cN2 or cT2 on TNM staging
  • sentinel lymph node biopsy(SLNB) by sentinel lymph node staining method using mixture of indocyanine green (ICG) with radioisotope (RI).
  • indocyanine green (ICG) penetrates human tissue to depths of several millimeters to 2cm, and the fluorescence can be detected percutaneously in real time.
  • using RI only has several disadvantages such as invisibility,interference. RI only detect sound or confirm numerical value through gamma probe.
  • ICG can be visualized with a fluorescence imaging system
  • confirm Identification rate of sentinal lymph node biopsy, and duration of sentinel lymph node biopsy

What participants receive

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

  • sentinel lymph node biopsy(SLNB)Procedure or surgery

    • incision will be made over the skin site that had fluorescence lymphatic flow which visualized using fluorescence imaging camera and gamma probe.
    • double check after removal of the sentinel lymph node
    • sending frozen biopsy

What is being measured

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

  1. Identification rate of sentinal lymph node biopsy

    It was defined as the ability to identify a sentinel lymph node successfully.

    Measured: during operation

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. duration of sentinel lymph node biopsy

    It was defined as the time from the skin incision to complet removal of the first sentinel lymph node.

    Measured: during operation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Cancer, run by National Cancer Center, Korea at 1 site in South Korea.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Feb 2016. 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 South Korea. 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?

Identification rate of sentinal lymph node biopsy (time frame: during operation). 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 5 Feb 2016.
