Overview
Brief Summary
To compare the kinetics and efficacy of two functionally different diagnostic agents, Lymphoseek (CD206 receptor targeted) and 99mTc-Sulfur Colloid (SC) (Sulfur Colloid non-specific mapping agent) in intraoperative lymphatic mapping (ILM) and Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy (SLNB).
Detailed Description
Single center, blinded, randomized, parallel-group, comparative study of Lymphoseek and 99mTc-SC in the preoperative and intraoperative detection of lymph nodes in subjects with known breast cancer. All subjects will receive a single dose of 50 μg Lymphoseek radiolabeled with 0.5 millicurie (mCi) Tc 99m or 0.5 mCi of 99mTc-SC. Subjects may also receive up to 1 mL of vital blue dye (VBD) as a companion ILM agent. All radio-labeled agents will be administered in a single intradermal injection.

Arms & Interventions
Lymphoseek
Lymphoseek (technetium Tc 99m tilmanocept) Injection is indicated for lymphatic mapping with a hand-held gamma counter to assist in the localization of lymph nodes draining a primary tumor site in patients with breast cancer or melanoma and guiding sentinel lymph node biopsy using a hand-held gamma counter in patients with clinically node negative squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity.
Intervention: Lymphoseek (Drug)
Sulfur Colloid
Technetium Tc 99m Sulfur Colloid Injection is a radioactive diagnostic agent indicated for use as follows:
In adults, to assist in the:
- localization of lymph nodes draining a primary tumor in patients with
- breast cancer or malignant melanoma when used with a hand-held gamma counter.
- evaluation of peritoneovenous (LeVeen) shunt patency in adults.
Intervention: Sulfur Colloid (Drug)
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Injection Site Clearance for Lymphoseek and 99mTc-Sulfur Colloid (SC).
Time Frame: 2 hours
The rate of injection site clearance is the time from radiotracer injection to peak SLN radioactive level. Injection clearance rates will be determined by planar SPECT imaging and by SPECT/CT. Subjects will undergo standard sequential planar imaging at 30 to 60 seconds intervals until the sentinel lymph node is seen. Once a sentinel node is located, a SPECT/CT will be performed for higher resolution imaging in transaxial, coronal, and sagittal planes.
Sentinel Lymph Node Uptake Rate
Time Frame: 2 hours
SLN uptake rates will be determined by planar SPECT (single-photon emission computerized tomography) imaging and by SPECT/CT (CT-computed tomography). Gamma counts will be obtained at the injection site by standard sequential planar imaging at 30 to 60 seconds intervals until the sentinel lymph node is seen. Once a sentinel node is located, a SPECT/CT will be performed for higher resolution imaging in transaxial, coronal, and sagittal planes. Figures showing the percent of peak activity in the node versus time will be constructed for each radiopharmaceutical. The average uptake rate for each radiopharmaceutical will be computed and the following test will be conducted using a two-sample t-test at a two-sided α=0.05 (one-sided α=0.025) level of significance: H0 (null hypothesis): µLS ≤ µSC vs. HA (alternative hypothesis): µLS \> µSC, (µLS is the average SLN uptake rate of Lymphoseek) (µSC is the average SLN uptake rate of 99mTc Sulfur Colloid).
Secondary Outcomes
- Ratio of Intraoperative Gamma Counts(24 hours)
- Number of Intraoperatively Detected Sentinel Lymph Nodes (SLNs) Identified(24 hours)
- Pathologic Assessment of the Excised Lymph Node(s)(24 hours)
- Patient Pain Tolerance(24 hours)
