About this study

Official title: A Pilot Study to Assess the Utility of Indocyanine Green™ (IC-GREEN™) SPY Imaging in the Mapping of Arm Draining Lymphatics and Nodes During Sentinel Node Resection With or Without Axillary Dissection in Breast Cancer

The purpose of this study is to determine if Indocyanine Green (IC-GREEN) is comparable to isosulfan blue (IS-BLUE) in the identification of arm lymphatics and arm-draining nodes during nodal staging procedures in breast cancer.

Read the detailed description

It is the objective of the current study to test Indocyanine Green (IC-GREEN) as an agent for mapping arm draining lymphatics and nodes and compare it to isosulfan blue (IS-BLUE) in the setting of sentinel node procedures with or without axillary node dissections in women with breast cancer. All participants will also have tumor samples evaluated with 99technetium-sulfur colloid, a radiolabel used to identify tumor markers.

Being tested
SPY Elite Imaging, Indocyanine Green, Isosulfan blue, 99technetium-sulfur colloid radiolabel

What participants receive

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

  • SPY Elite ImagingDevice

    A camera that is directed into the axillary cavity to try to capture an image of the tumor site labeled with Indocyanine green before and after excising sentinel nodes

  • Indocyanine GreenDrug

    Also called IC-GREEN, ICG

    started at 1mg /mL

    If fluorescence is not detected with this dose, then it will be increased by 50%.

  • Isosulfan blueDrug

    Also called IS-BLUE, ISB, Lymphazurin

    3 to 5 mL

    If fluorescence is not detected with this dose, then it will be increased by 50%.

  • 99technetium-sulfur colloid radiolabelDrug

    Also called 99tech

What is being measured

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

  1. Agreement of Labeling Between Isosulfan Blue (IS-BLUE) and Indocyanine Green (IC-GREEN)

    Number of women with agreement of the two dies [ie, isosulfan blue (IS-BLUE) and indocyanine green (IC-GREEN)] on all nodes examined in the lymphatics and arm-draining lymph nodes, during nodal staging procedures for surgery to treat breast cancer with curative intent.

    Measured: 1 day

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Detection of Indocyanine Green (IC-GREEN); Isosulfan Blue (IS-BLUE); and 99technetium-sulfur Colloid Radiolabel in Resected Sentinel Nodes

    The outcome is expressed as the number of participants whose resected sentinel lymph nodes (SLN) bound 99technetium-sulfur colloid (99tech), a tumor marker radiolabel; Indocyanine Green (IC-GREEN; "GREEN"), a fluorescent label; or isosulfan blue (IS-BLUE; "BLUE"), a visual dye. Results are expressed as:

    • "Any HOT" = Those whose samples bound 99tech.
    • "Not HOT" = Those whose samples did not bind 99tech.
    • "Not HOT (also no BLUE, no GREEN)" = Those whose samples did not bind 99tech; and also did not bind IC-GREEN nor IS-BLUE.
    • "HOT, BLUE, GREEN" = Those whose samples bound all of 99tech; IC-GREEN; and IS-BLUE.
    • "HOT, no BLUE, no GREEN" = Those whose samples bound 99tech, but did not bind either of IC-GREEN nor IS-BLUE.
    • "HOT, GREEN only, no BLUE" = Those whose samples bound 99tech and IC-GREEN, but did not bind IS-BLUE.

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing SPY Elite Imaging, Indocyanine Green and Isosulfan blue in people with Breast Cancer, run by Stanford University at 1 site in United States.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Dec 2017. 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 United States. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 11 Dec 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Agreement of Labeling Between Isosulfan Blue (IS-BLUE) and Indocyanine Green (IC-GREEN) (time frame: 1 day). 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 11 Dec 2017.
