Effect of CNSI vs. ICG in Lymph Node Tracing During Gastrectomy

Phase 2
Active, not recruiting
Conditions
Gastric Cancer

Registration Number
NCT05229874
Lead Sponsor
Hebei Medical University
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of carbon nanoparticle suspension injection and indocyanine green tracer-guided lymph node dissection during gastrectomy in patients with gastric cancer

Detailed Description

Da Vinci robot surgery XI system has fluorescence imaging function, which can realize indocyanine green lymph node tracking navigation technology in the operation. At the same time, the lymph node tracking effect of nano carbon suspension injection is not affected by equipment. The flexible mechanical arm of Da Vinci robot combined with the application of lymph node tracing technology makes the lymph node dissection of gastric cancer surgery more thorough, and also reduces the difficulty of surgery. Indocyanine green navigational lymphadenectomy can also be performed by fluorescence laparoscopy. By comparing the two tracer techniques, the lymph node tracer technique which is more suitable for robot or laparoscopic surgery system is selected to provide help and choice for clinical surgeons.

GroupInterventionDescription
Carbon nanoparticle suspension injection (CNSI) groupcarbon nanoparticlesCNSI (50 mg/dose) was produced by Chongqing Lesmei Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.: Carbon nanoparticles were marked in the endoscopy division 1 day before surgery, and CNSI was injected submucosally at 4 points (proximal side, distal side, and left and right sides) 0.5-1 cm from the tumor edge under endoscopy. The test dose for each point was approximately 0.25 ml.
Indocyanine green (ICG) groupIndocyanine greenICG (25 mg/dose) was produced by Dandong Yichuang Pharmaceutical. ICG was marked in the endoscopy division 1 day before surgery and injected submucosally at 4 points (proximal side, distal side, and left and right sides) 0.5-1 cm from the tumor edge under endoscopy. The test dose for each point was approximately 0.5 ml. Both procedures were performed by a designated medical practitioner.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Total Number of Retrieved Lymph Nodes10 days

Compare total number of retrieved lymph nodes in both group.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
3-year disease free survival rate36 months

Disease-free survival is calculated from the day of surgery to the day of recurrence (When the specific date of recurrence of the tumor is unknown, the ending point is the date of death due to tumor causes). In the event that neither death nor recurrence of the tumor are observed, the end point is the final date that a patient is confirmed as relapse-free.

Number of Metastasis Lymph Nodes10 days

Compare number of positive lymph nodes in both group.

Morbidity and mortality rates30 days

This is for the early postoperative complication and mortality, which defined as the event observed within 30 days after surgery.

3-year recurrence pattern36 months

Recurrence patterns are classified into five categories at the time of first diagnosis: locoregional, hematogenous, peritoneal, distant lymph node, and mixed type.

Positive rate10 days

The number of positive lymph nodes in black-stained/fluorescent lymph nodes is divided by the number of total black-stained/fluorescent lymph nodes in experimental group

False positive rate10 days

The number of negative lymph nodes in black-stained/fluorescent lymph nodes is divided by the number of total black-stained/fluorescent lymph nodes in experimental group

Negative rate10 days

The number of negative lymph nodes in not black-stained/fluorescent lymph nodes is divided by the number of total not black-stained/fluorescent lymph nodes in experimental group

The rate of black-stained/fluorescence10 days

The number of black-stained/fluorescent lymph node in experimental group is divided by the total number of lymph nodes in active experimental group

False negative rate10 days

The number of positive lymph nodes in not black-stained/fluorescent lymph nodes is divided by the number of total not black-stained/fluorescent lymph nodes in experimental group
