About this study

Official title: Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy Using a Magnetic Tracer Versus Standard Radio-isotope Technique in Early Breast Cancer

The aim of this study is to evaluate a new method for the localization of breast cancer sentinel lymph node using Sienna+® and Sentimag® detection in comparison to our standard techniques with radio-isotopes.

Read the detailed description

The use of radioisotope with or without blue dye has long become the gold standard for sentinel lymph node localization in the management of breast cancer. The latest evidence from a number of European trials has proven that a new tracer agent, superparamagnetic iron oxide particles (SPIOs, Sienna+®), is non-inferior to the standard method of lymphatic mapping. Its application and feasibility has yet been tried in most Asian countries.

This is a prospective paired comparison trial involving both the new magnetic technique and the standard method. Patients with preoperative diagnosis of invasive carcinoma or ductal carcinoma in-situ of the breast undergoing SNOLL (Sentinel node and occult lesion localization) will be recruited from the Breast Centre of Kwong Wah Hospital. Informed consent will be obtained. All patients recruited will receive subcutaneous injection of 2 ml of Sienna+® diluted with saline to 5 ml at Breast Centre in the morning of operation, followed by five minutes of massage to the injection site. Before incision, on-table transcutaneous detection with the handheld magnetometer are carried out after at least 20 minutes from injection. Intraoperative counts of sentinel lymph nodes identified as well as the ex-vivo counts of excised nodes are also measured. All procedures are supplemented with localization by radioisotope. All lymph nodes excised will be sent for histopathological examination.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Sienna+ injection in people with Breast Cancer, run by Yolanda Chan.

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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Feb 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Yolanda Chan, MBBS (+852 9785 4221, chy168@ha.org.hk), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Proportion of successful procedures for sentinel lymph node identification (identification rate per patient) by the magnetic method compared with the standard method (time frame: Two years). 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 16 Feb 2017.
