Trial summary

The investigators think that trans-cervical endometrial tracer injection will cause more paraaortic sentinel lymph node detection. Also, this application is easy, cost-effective and safer than hysteroscopic method. Transtubal tumor spearing will not occur with this method. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Cervical and Endometrial Injection for Sentinel Lymph Node Detection in Endometrial Cancer: A Prospective Randomized Trial

The investigators think that trans-cervical endometrial tracer injection will cause more paraaortic sentinel lymph node detection. Also, this application is easy, cost-effective and safer than hysteroscopic method. Transtubal tumor spearing will not occur with this method.

Read the detailed description

Endometrial tracer injection will be performed by cervical or transcervical endometrial methods. Pelvic and para-aortic sentinel lymph node detection capacity will be assessed in this study.

Being tested
Transcervical endometrial injection of technetium 99 m-labeled human albumin colloid particles, Cervical injection of technetium 99 m-labeled human albumin colloid particles
Keywords
Endometrial Cancer, Sentinel Lymph Node, Paraaortic nodes involvement
Medical subject headings
Endometrial Neoplasms

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Transcervical endometrial injection of technetium 99 m-labeled human albumin colloid particles and Cervical injection of technetium 99 m-labeled human albumin colloid particles in people with Endometrial Cancer and Sentinel Lymph Node, run by Kocaeli University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 4 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 20 Feb 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Detected pelvic and paraaortic sentinel lymph node numbers (time frame: Postoperative 30 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03900104, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 20 Feb 2020.
