Trial summary

This is a phase II, prospective, single-center, non-randomized, non-controlled study. Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SNB) is a standard staging procedure in early breast cancer. The potentially increasing false negative rate of SNB was concerned if the sonographic abnormal node was not excised. Read more about this study

  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • histologically confirmsed primary breast cancer by core neelde biopsy or excisional biospy

About this study

Official title: Phase II Trail of Removing Sonographic Abnormal Lymph Node in Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy of Breast Cancer Patient

  • This is a phase II, prospective, single-center, non-randomized, non-controlled study.
  • Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SNB) is a standard staging procedure in early breast cancer. The potentially increasing false negative rate of SNB was concerned if the sonographic abnormal node was not excised. The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of SNB in breast cancer with sonographic abnormal axillary lymph nodes.

What participants receive

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

  • Wire-localized abnormal nodeProcedure or surgery

    Before the sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) operation, a hookwire was placed at the suspicious axillary lymph node by ultrasound guidance to localize the abnormal node. In the SLNB operation, radioactive nodes and wire-localized nodes were removed and labeled separately for pathological examination.

Study groups in NCT02005926
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
negative FNA result of abnormal nodeExperimentalAxillary ultrasound examination was undergone for all breast cancer patients before sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB). If abnormal axillary lymph node was found, ultrasound-guided FNA cytology of these nodes were performed. The abnormal nodes were defined as completely hypoechoic node, asymmetric focal hypoechoic node, cortical lobulation and cortical thickness >3mm. Patients with negative results of FNA would undergo SLNB. Technetium-99m-labeled Rituximab was used for lymphatic mapping. Before the SLNB operation, a hookwire was placed at the suspicious axillary lymph node by ultrasound guidance. In the SLNB operation, radioactive nodes and wire-localized nodes were removed and labeled separately for pathological examination.
Receives: Procedure: Wire-localized abnormal node

What is being measured

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

  1. False negative rate of sentinel node biopsy if sonographic abnormal node not be removed

    Measured: one week after sentinel node biopsy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Wire-localized abnormal node in people with Breast Cancer, run by Tao OUYANG at 1 site in China.

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 5 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Jun 2014. 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 China. 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?

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?

False negative rate of sentinel node biopsy if sonographic abnormal node not be removed (time frame: one week after sentinel node biopsy). 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 18 Jun 2014.
