Trial summary

Lymphatic mapping is a procedure in which all lymph nodes with drainage from the primary tumor, i.e. all nodes with potential (micro)metastases, can be imaged. These nodes are not necessarily suspicious on other imaging techniques. The goal of this feasibility study is to 1. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Lymphatic Mapping for Image Guided Radiotherapy in Patients With Locally Advanced Cervical Cancer, a Feasibility Study

Lymphatic mapping is a procedure in which all lymph nodes with drainage from the primary tumor, i.e. all nodes with potential (micro)metastases, can be imaged. These nodes are not necessarily suspicious on other imaging techniques.

The goal of this feasibility study is to

  1. investigate the feasibility of the lymphatic mapping procedure in locally advanced cervical cancer
  2. study the agreement of the lymphatic map with the radiotherapy treatment plan including previous imaging (MRI / CT / FDG-PET/CT)
Read the detailed description

Study population:

Aged ≥18 years, with locally advanced cervical cancer, that will be planned for radiotherapy.

Intervention (if applicable): Lymphatic mapping will be performed on all study patients during the standard investigation under anaesthesia, to ensure painless injection of the radiopharmaceutical. Patients will receive 6-8 depots of [99mTc]Tc-nanocolloid peritumoral. Planar and SPECT/CT gamma camera images will be made at the department of Radiology and Nuclear medicine 3 hours and 12-24 hours after administration of the radiopharmaceutical. All radioactive lymph nodes will be included in the lymphatic map.

The radiation oncologist will determine the radiation therapy treatment plan blinded to the data of the lymphatic mapping. The lymphatic map will be compared to the radiation treatment plan and previous imaging (MRI / CT / FDG-PET/CT).

Main study parameters/endpoints:

  1. Is it feasible to perform lymphatic mapping in locally advanced cervical cancer? Is there visualisation of (multiple) lymph nodes in both sides of the tumor?
  2. Are all visible lymph nodes (nodes at risk) included in the standard radiotherapy treatment plan?
Being tested

What participants receive

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

  • lymphatic mappingDiagnostic test

    1. Peritumoral injection of [99mTc]Tc-nanocolloid in 6-8 evenly distributed depots on both sides of the tumor, during investigation under anaesthesia. Number of depots depending on the size and localisation of the tumor.
    2. Planair and SPECT/CT imaging van de abdomen/pelvis 3h and 12-24h after injection at the department of radiology and nucleair medicine.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing lymphatic mapping in people with Locally Advanced Cervical Cancer, run by Academisch Medisch Centrum - Universiteit van Amsterdam (AMC-UvA) at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 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 27 Feb 2023. 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 Netherlands. 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?

Is it feasible to perform lymphatic mapping in locally advanced cervical cancer? Is there visualisation of (multiple) lymph nodes in both sides of the tumor? (time frame: 2 years). 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 NCT05746156, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 27 Feb 2023.
