Trial summary

This pilot phase I trial studies how well sonazoid-enhanced ultrasound works in detecting sentinel lymph node in patients with cutaneous melanoma. Sonazoid is a contrast agent that may make it easier to see if the tumor cells have spread to the sentinel lymph node using an ultrasound. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Pilot Translational Study of Sonazoid-Enhanced Ultrasonography for Sentinel Lymph Node Mapping in Cutaneous Melanoma

This pilot phase I trial studies how well sonazoid-enhanced ultrasound works in detecting sentinel lymph node in patients with cutaneous melanoma. Sonazoid is a contrast agent that may make it easier to see if the tumor cells have spread to the sentinel lymph node using an ultrasound.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To study the imaging feasibility of peri-tumoral administration of sonazoid ultrasound contrast agent for assessment of sentinel lymph node (SLN) detection in melanoma.

II. To compare SLN detection between sonazoid ultrasound and standard of care (SOC) technique.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To assess the sonazoid ultrasound (US) imaging appearance of lymph nodes which are shown to be involved with metastatic disease.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive sonazoid intradermally (ID) and undergo ultrasound imaging. Patients also undergo standard of care sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB).

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 24 and 48 hours.

Being tested
Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy, Ultrasonography, Sonazoid
Medical subject headings
Melanoma

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy, Ultrasonography and Sonazoid in people with Cutaneous Melanoma and Melanoma, run by University of Southern California 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 5 inclusion and 11 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 30 Mar 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 was stopped early (reason given: Insufficient accrual). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Percent of patients with SLN identified by sonazoid-US alone or both sonazoid-US and conventional methods (time frame: Up to 1 year). 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 30 Mar 2020.
