Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Participants must meet the following criteria on screening examination to be eligible to participate in the study:
  • Participant must have histologically confirmed lung cancer and be deemed an appropriate surgical candidate for thoracoscopic lung resection and will have consent for a sentinel lymph node mapping by their oncologic surgeon. These patients will have invasive non-small cell lung cancers for which thoracoscopic mediastinal lymph node dissection at the time of thoracoscopic lung resection is standard of care. The extent of lung resections in potential trial patients could span from sublobar resection (i.e. wedge resection) to pneumonectomy, though it is anticipated that most patients will be undergoing the most common anatomic operation for lung cancer which is lobectomy.
  • All stages of lung cancer that would otherwise be undergoing thoracoscopic lung resection and mediastinal lymph node dissection would be eligible.
  • Age minimum: 18 years.
  • The minimum eligible subject age for this trial is 18 years. Individuals older than age 18 are typically cared for in adult oncology clinics at our institutions. Individuals under the age of 18 are excluded because safety studies including dosing or adverse event data in this population are currently not available. Essentially all of the patients operated upon for lung cancer at the BIDMC are adult men and women. Because of the nature of this disease, we do not anticipate, and will not be, enrolling any children into the study.
  • Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.

Who cannot join

  • Participants who exhibit any of the following conditions at screening will not be eligible for admission into the study.
  • Participants who have had chemotherapy or radiotherapy within 4 weeks (6 weeks for nitrosoureas or mitomycin C) prior to entering the study or those who have not recovered from adverse events due to agents administered more than 4 weeks earlier.
  • Participants who are receiving any other investigational agents.
  • Participants with known brain metastases should be excluded from this clinical trial because of their poor prognosis and because they often develop progressive neurologic dysfunction that would confound the evaluation of neurologic and other adverse events.
  • History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to indocyanine green, including those patients with a history of iodide or seafood allergy.
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
Show all 9Show fewer
  • Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant, as well as those women who are breastfeeding, will be excluded from this study. Pregnant women are excluded from this study because there is unknown risk associated with ICG (US FDA Risk Category C: there are no controlled studies in women, or no studies are available in either animals or women). Because there is an unknown, but potential, risk of adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated.
  • Patients in whom the tumor might not be accessible for peritumoral injection of indocyanine green, e.g. small, central tumors.
  • No other appropriate agent-specific exclusion criteria.

About this study

Official title: A Pilot Study of a Novel Fluorescence Endoscopic Device for Sentinel Lymph Node Mapping in Lung Cancer in Combination With Indo-Cyanine Green

This research study is studying a new imaging method that will show lymph nodes in the lung during lung cancer surgery. The name of the study intervention involved in this study is:

-- The combination of the FluoSCOPE device and Indocyanine Green

Read the detailed description

This research study is a Pilot Study, which is the first time investigators are examining this study intervention. The FDA (the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) has not approved Indocyanine Green for your specific disease, but it has been approved for other uses.

In this research study, the investigators are interested in learning how a new investigational device, the FluoSCOPE, performs in the operating room. This study will also allow the investigators to optimize the settings of the imaging system. The investigators hope that this device, along with the local injection of Indocyanine Green around the tumor, will help find the sentinel lymph nodes in real-time during the surgery to remove lung cancer.

Although this is the first time the FluoSCOPE is being used in humans, the technology of near-infrared fluorescence imaging has been used for the detection of sentinel lymph nodes of patients with breast cancer, skin cancer and lung cancer.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT02423148
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
FluoSCOPE deviceExperimentalAll study interventions will occur intraoperatively during the subject's planned surgery. No deviation from standard of care will be performed with the exception of the following specific interventions:- * Intraoperative injection of indocyanine green (ICG) around tumor and imaging with the FluoSCOPE NIR endoscopic imaging system * Treatment will be administered on an inpatient basis
Receives: Drug: Indocyanine green (ICG); Device: FluoSCOPE

What is being measured

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

  1. Sentinel lymph node(s) is identified via NIR fluorescence imaging

    Measured: Day one

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Signal-to-background ratio

    signal-to-background ratio, determined by the relationship of field of view, fluence rate, and exposure time, is at least 2:1.

    Measured: Day One

  2. Number of Participants with Adverse Events

    Measured: Day One

Timeline

From the start of the study to its completion; the mark is today. Estimated dates are the sponsor’s plan.

  1. First posted22 Apr 2015 (estimated)
  2. Study startMay 2015
  3. Primary completion3 Nov 2016
  4. Study completion3 Nov 2016

Why it stopped: Co-investigator left facility. Decided not to enroll patients therefore.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Indocyanine green (ICG) and FluoSCOPE in people with Lung Cancer, run by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

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 9 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 May 2018. 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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Sentinel lymph node(s) is identified via NIR fluorescence imaging (time frame: Day one). 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 16 May 2018.
