Trial summary

The lymphocele is the main early postoperative complication of axillary clearance for breast cancer patients with rates up to 85%. The usual treatment consists of external drainage. However, this method increases the duration of hospitalization. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Impact of Sandostatin® Injection Before Axillary Clearance on Lymphocele Formation In Patients With Breast Cancer

The lymphocele is the main early postoperative complication of axillary clearance for breast cancer patients with rates up to 85%.

The usual treatment consists of external drainage. However, this method increases the duration of hospitalization.

Read more

As a result, some practitioners have abandoned drainage, allowing for ambulatory surgery.

If this solution makes it possible to reduce the duration of the hospitalizations, it involves iterative punctures of the axillary hollow in case of lymphocele These punctures may be responsible for pain, hematoma or infection of the operative site.

To date, no method has proved superior in terms of decreasing the incidence of lymphocele postoperatively axillary clearance.

Octreotide (Sandostatin®) is a peptide, one of whose effects is to reduce the inflammation responsible for lymphoceles.

The aim of the study is to inject Sandostatin® before surgery, with the aim of reducing the incidence of seroma by 50% after axillary clearance

What is being measured

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

  1. A 50% decrease in the incidence of lymphocele (30% to 15% progression) following axillary clearance of patients operated for breast cancer (excluding mastectomy) pretreated with an injection of Sandostatin®.

    The frequency of occurrence of a lymphocele requiring at least one evacuation puncture.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Evaluation of the volume of the punctures

    Determined by the volume of the punctures carried out

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Evaluation of the cost of this treatment

    Determined by the data recovered from the Health Insurance

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Injection of sandostatine in people with Breast Cancer and Lymphocele, run by Institut Cancerologie de l'Ouest.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Jul 2022. 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 stopped early (reason given: The surgical technique is no longer used). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

A 50% decrease in the incidence of lymphocele (30% to 15% progression) following axillary clearance of patients operated for breast cancer (excluding mastectomy) pretreated with an injection of Sandostatin®. (time frame: 6 months). 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 28 Jul 2022.
