Trial summary

SENORITA 1 trial showed laparoscopic sentinel lymph node biopsy and stomach preserving surgery in early gastric cancer can increase the quality of life. (Ryu KW et al. JCO 2022) The radioactive isotope is difficult to use because of the hazard of radiation and shortage of materials. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Feasibility Study of Sentinel Navigation Surgery in Early Gastric Cancer Using Fluorescence (SENORITA4 Trial)

SENORITA 1 trial showed laparoscopic sentinel lymph node biopsy and stomach preserving surgery in early gastric cancer can increase the quality of life. (Ryu KW et al. JCO 2022) The radioactive isotope is difficult to use because of the hazard of radiation and shortage of materials. The aim of this study is to investigate whether laparoscopic sentinel lymph node biopsy and stomach-preserving surgery using only fluorescence is feasible.

Read the detailed description
  1. Injection of Indocyanine Green (ICG)
  • Endoscopic injection of 0.25mg/ml of ICG on 4 sites around gastric cancer
  • Identification of sentinel basin using fluorescence laparoscopy
  • Laparoscopic sentinel basin dissection and identification of sentinel node at the back table
  1. Surgical considerations
  • Conventional gastrectomy is performed if positive sentinel nodes are diagnosed in the frozen section.
  • If micrometastasis or isolated tumor cells in sentinel basin lymph nodes were diagnosed in permanent pathology, re-operation of conventional gastrectomy is not performed.
  • However, re-operation of conventional gastrectomy should be performed in case of macrometastasis, deep and lateral margin positive, more than pT2 lesion in the permanent pathology.

What is being measured

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

  1. Detection rate of Sentinel lymph nodes

    number of patients whose sentinel nodes are detected / enrolled number of patients *100

    Measured: 15 days after operation

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. 3 year disease free survival

    A total of enrollment period is suspected to be three years and patients will be followed up for five years.

    Measured: 3 year after surgery

  2. 3 year overall survival rate

    A total of enrollment period is suspected to be three years and patients will be followed up for five years.

    Measured: 3 year after surgery

  3. 3 year disease specific death rate

    A total of enrollment period is suspected to be three years and patients will be followed up for five years.

    Measured: 3 year after surgery

  4. 3 year recurrence free survival rate

    A total of enrollment period is suspected to be three years and patients will be followed up for five years.

    Measured: 3 year after surgery

  5. scores of global health status scale, functional scales, and symptom scales/items of the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ) C30 and STO22

    Survey for quality of life will be performed regularly for three years after surgery. Measurement tool is the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ) C30 and STO22. In EORTC QLQ C30, there are 1 global health status scale, 5 functional scales, and 9 symptom scales/items. EORTC QLQ STO22 includes 5 symptom scales and 4 single items. Each scale and item ranges 0 to 100. Higher score of global health status and functinoal scales indicate better quality of life and lower score of symptom scales indicates better quality of life. There is no summed score in these questionnaires.

    Measured: 5 years

  6. 5 year disease free survival rate

    A total of enrollment period is suspected to be three years and patients will be followed up for five years. Therefore, we can complete data collection at five year later from when the last enrolled patients underwent intervention

    Measured: 5 years

  7. 5 year overall survival rate

    A total of enrollment period is suspected to be three years and patients will be followed up for five years. Therefore, we can complete data collection at five year later from when the last enrolled patients underwent intervention

    Measured: 5 years

  8. 5 year disease specific death rate

    A total of enrollment period is suspected to be three years and patients will be followed up for five years. Therefore, we can complete data collection at five year later from when the last enrolled patients underwent intervention

    Measured: 5 years

  9. 5 year recurrence free survival rate

    A total of enrollment period is suspected to be three years and patients will be followed up for five years. Therefore, we can complete data collection at five year later from when the last enrolled patients underwent intervention

    Measured: 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Laparoscopic sentinel navigation surgery using fluorescence in people with Early Gastric Cancer, run by National Cancer Center, Korea at 7 sites in South Korea.

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 7 inclusion and 5 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Aug 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in South Korea. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Hong Man Yoon, MD (+82-31-920-1710, red10000@ncc.re.kr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Detection rate of Sentinel lymph nodes (time frame: 15 days after operation). 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 7 Aug 2023.
