About this study

Official title: Early Feasibility Study of an Open-Field Handheld Wireless Fluorecence Imaging System for Detection of Sentinel Lymph Nodes in Women With Cervical and Uterine Cancers

This is an early feasibility study to evaluate the device functionality of an open-field handheld wireless fluorecence imaging system for detection of sentinel lymph nodes in women with cervical and uterine cancers who underwent open surgery.

Read the detailed description

This study was designed to clinically evaluate the functionality of an prototype of our near-infrared fluorescence device named Easy Light. In brief, this device is an open-field handheld wireless fluorecence imaging system that allows real-time visualization of fluorescent dyes such as indocyanine green (ICG) using smartphones and tablets. The handheld is a rechargeable device responsible for excitation of the operative field with infra-red lighting and for capturing the fluorescence emitted by de fluorescent dye to be visualized via wi-fi in the smartphones and tablets using a pre-installed application software. Following the standards of near-infrared fluorescence for detection of sentinel lymph nodes in gynecological malignancies, the hypothesis was the identification of sentinel lymph nodes after lymphatic mapping by interstitial indocyanine green injection in the cervix was feasible with the use of our device named Easy Light.

What participants receive

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

  • Sentinel Lymph Node BiopsyDevice

    Detection of sentinel lymph nodes by indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescent dye technique, using a prototype of the Easy Light device.

Study groups in NCT05004623
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Sentinel Lymph Node BiopsyOtherSentinel lymph node biopsy by indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescent dye technique, using a prototype of the Easy Light device. Lymph node dissection in each hemipelvis should be performed as standard if no sentinel lymph node is detected. Decision of proceeding with complementary lymph node dissection after sentinel lymph node detection is a surgeon decision, according to his/her usual practice.
Receives: Device: Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy

What is being measured

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

  1. The ability to detect sentinel lymph nodes.

    The ability to detect at least one sentinel lymph node per patient during open surgeries.

    Measured: Intraoperativelly

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy in people with Uterine Cervical Neoplasms and Uterine Neoplasms, run by Professor Fernando Figueira Integral Medicine Institute at 1 site in Brazil.

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 8 inclusion and 1 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 13 Aug 2021. 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 Brazil. 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?

The ability to detect sentinel lymph nodes. (time frame: Intraoperativelly). 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 13 Aug 2021.
