About this study

Official title: Computed Tomography (CT) Reconstruction for Axillary Lymph Node Structure: a Prospective Observational Study Evaluating Response in Axillary Lymph Nodes of Breast Cancer After Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy

This is a prospective, single-center, non-randomized, non-controlled observational study.

Read the detailed description

The negative predictive value of ultrasound for lymph node with neoadjuvant chemotherapy is low, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or PET/CT did not significantly improve specificity to axillary lymph node. The aim of this study is to determine performance of computed tomography (CT) reconstruction on evaluation of lymph node status after neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer patients.

Keywords
Computed tomography (CT) reconstruction, axillary lymph node status

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT03247478
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
invasive breast cancerPatients with invasive breast cancer who underwent computed tomography (CT) reconstruction of axillary lymph node for assessment of lymph node response after NAC are eligible for this study. Axillary lymph node metastasis is confirmed by fine needle aspiration (FNA) or core needle biopsy (CNB) at initial diagnosis.

What is being measured

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

  1. Sensitivity, specificity, positive-predictive value (PPV) and negative-predictive value (NPV) of Computed tomography (CT) reconstruction for axillary lymph node status after neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

    Sensitivity, specificity, positive-predictive value (PPV) and negative-predictive value (NPV) of Computed tomography (CT) reconstruction for axillary lymph node status after neoadjuvant chemotherapy will be assessed.

    Measured: within 6 weeks after obtaining the post-surgery pathological results

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Rreceiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis

    The diagnostic performance of computed tomography (CT) reconstruction for the evaluation of ALN after NAC was evaluated with receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. The diagnostic accuracy was estimated by calculating the area under the ROC curve.

    Measured: within 6 weeks after obtaining the post-surgery pathological results

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Invasive Breast Cancer, run by Peking University at 1 site in China.

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 3 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 6 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 China. 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?

Sensitivity, specificity, positive-predictive value (PPV) and negative-predictive value (NPV) of Computed tomography (CT) reconstruction for axillary lymph node status after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. (time frame: within 6 weeks after obtaining the post-surgery pathological results). 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 6 Sep 2019.
