About this study

Official title: Development and Utilization of Indocyanine Green Fluorescence Near Infrared Zone II Lymphography in Breast Cancer Patients

This study aims for evaluating near infrared zone II imaging in sentinel lymph node mapping in breast cancer patients.

Read the detailed description

Multi-wavelength fluorescence has been surveyed in various fields of surgery. However, it was still under investigation, and has not been matured for clinical use. This study will evaluate near infrared zone II spectrums for breast cancer patient undergoing sentinel lymph node mapping with near-infrared fluorescence navigation.

Being tested
Near infrared fluorescence navigated sentinel lymph node mapping
Keywords
Indocyanine green, Image-guided surgery, Multispectral fluorescence imaging
Medical subject headings
Breast Neoplasms

What participants receive

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

  • Near infrared fluorescence navigated sentinel lymph node mappingProcedure or surgery

    Participants undergo sentinel lymph node biopsy for breast cancer, and use blue dye/Tc99m radioisotope as primary tracer. Indocyanine green near infrared fluorescence as secondary tracer for mapping.

Study groups in NCT05365191
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Multispectral near infrared imagingOtherThe participants will be assigned to one single arm that accepted both near infrared zone I and near infrared zone II imaging during the near infrared fluorescence navigated sentinel lymph node biopsy procedure. Imaging quality will be compared between different spectrums.
Receives: Procedure: Near infrared fluorescence navigated sentinel lymph node mapping

What is being measured

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

  1. Signal-to-background ratio (SBR)

    Evaluates the SBR of the near-infrared fluorescence between the retrieved sentinel lymph nodes and the background.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Sentinel lymph nodes pathology

    The positivity and number of retrieved sentinel lymph nodes at definitive pathology report.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

  2. Penetration depth

    Evaluates the depth of the deepest visualized subcutaneous lymphatics in the breast

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Near infrared fluorescence navigated sentinel lymph node mapping in people with Breast Cancer and Sentinel Lymph Node, run by National Taiwan University Hospital Hsin-Chu Branch at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 May 2022. 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 Taiwan. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Yung-Chun Hsieh, MD (+886-972322925, abitzsong@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Signal-to-background ratio (SBR) (time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year). 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 NCT05365191, 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 9 May 2022.
