About this study

Official title: A Single-Arm, Open, Multicenter, Exploratory Clinical Study on the Application of Sentinel Lymph Node Mapping Mechnique in the Surgery of Early Epithelial Ovarian Cancer

This study is a single-arm, open, multicenter, exploratory clinical study to evaluate the feasibility, sensitivity, and specificity of sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping technology in the population with early epithelial ovarian cancer in China. Patients with stage I-II epithelial ovarian cancer evaluated by preoperative imaging (enhanced CT and/or magnetic resonance scanning) are selected as the study population. The feasibility and value of SLN mapping technology in early epithelial ovarian cancer are explored through the location and number of sentinel lymph nodes, lymph node metastasis rate, 3-year disease-free survival rate, and the incidence of postoperative lower limb edema. The study plans to recruit 246 subjects. All subjects will receive study treatment after signing the informed consent form and passing the screening.

Read the detailed description

This clinical study is an evaluation of surgical method improvement. The standard surgical procedure includes: selecting patients who meet the inclusion criteria, completing preoperative examinations, having thorough preoperative communication, determining laparoscopic surgery and open surgery according to the patient\'s condition and examinations, mainly using open surgery and strictly screening laparoscopic surgery; carefully exploring the pelvic and abdominal peritoneum and the surface of abdominal organs during the operation, evaluating whether there is lymph node enlargement in the retroperitoneum, taking ascites or peritoneal lavage fluid, after removing the patient\'s adnexa, sending it for rapid pathology. After the pathology is confirmed to be epithelial cancer, select a fine needle to inject 2 ml of ICG (1.25 mg/ml) respectively into the residual end of the suspensory ligament and proper ligament of the affected side. If there are lesions on both adnexa, inject on both sides; open the retroperitoneum and open the peritoneum upward to reach the level of the left renal vein; observe the lymphatic drainage area, separate the lymph and adipose tissue along the blood vessels, and look for the visualized lymph nodes; send the resected visualized lymph nodes for intraoperative rapid pathology; after resecting the visualized sentinel lymph nodes, perform systematic lymph node resection (including the para-aortic lymph nodes below the left renal vein and bilateral pelvic lymph nodes); resect the greater omentum, perform biopsy and/or resect any suspicious lesions, and perform random biopsy of normal peritoneum; resect the total uterus and suture the vaginal stump; conduct postoperative follow-up and collect statistics.

Being tested
Lymph node visualization, No visualization of lymph nodes
Medical subject headings
Carcinoma, Ovarian Epithelial

What participants receive

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

  • Lymph node visualizationProcedure or surgery

    Resect the developing lymph nodes and the systematic lymph nodes. Conduct postoperative follow-up and pay attention to the relevant indicators of the patient after surgery.

  • No visualization of lymph nodesProcedure or surgery

    Resect the systematic lymph nodes. Conduct postoperative follow-up and pay attention to the relevant indicators of the patient after surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. PFS

    Progression-Free Survival (PFS) is defined as the time interval between the patient's diagnosis of gynecological malignancy and the first occurrence of progression of the disease or death from any cause.

    Measured: three years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. OS

    Overall Survival (OS) was defined as the time interval between the patient's diagnosis of gynecologic malignancy and death from any cause or the end of the last follow-up date.

    Measured: three years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Lymph node visualization and No visualization of lymph nodes in people with Epithelial Ovarian Cancer and Sentinel Lymph Node Detection, run by Anhui Provincial Hospital.

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 6 inclusion and 8 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 21 Nov 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 Zhen / Shen, MMed (+86551-13956005872, doctorsz0311@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

PFS (time frame: three years). 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 21 Nov 2024.
