Pilot Indocyanine Green Imaging for Mapping of Arm Draining Lymphatics & Nodes in Breast Cancer

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Breast Cancer
Interventions
Device: SPY Elite Imaging
Drug: Indocyanine Green
Drug: Isosulfan blue
Drug: 99technetium-sulfur colloid radiolabel
Registration Number
NCT01771666
Lead Sponsor
Stanford University
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if Indocyanine Green (IC-GREEN) is comparable to isosulfan blue (IS-BLUE) in the identification of arm lymphatics and arm-draining nodes during nodal staging procedures in breast cancer.

Detailed Description

It is the objective of the current study to test Indocyanine Green (IC-GREEN) as an agent for mapping arm draining lymphatics and nodes and compare it to isosulfan blue (IS-BLUE) in the setting of sentinel node procedures with or without axillary node dissections in women with breast cancer. All participants will also have tumor samples evaluated with 99technetium-sulfur colloid, a radiolabel used to identify tumor markers.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Agreement of Labeling Between Isosulfan Blue (IS-BLUE) and Indocyanine Green (IC-GREEN)1 day

Number of women with agreement of the two dies \[ie, isosulfan blue (IS-BLUE) and indocyanine green (IC-GREEN)\] on all nodes examined in the lymphatics and arm-draining lymph nodes, during nodal staging procedures for surgery to treat breast cancer with curative intent.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Detection of Indocyanine Green (IC-GREEN); Isosulfan Blue (IS-BLUE); and 99technetium-sulfur Colloid Radiolabel in Resected Sentinel Nodes1 day

The outcome is expressed as the number of participants whose resected sentinel lymph nodes (SLN) bound 99technetium-sulfur colloid (99tech), a tumor marker radiolabel; Indocyanine Green (IC-GREEN; "GREEN"), a fluorescent label; or isosulfan blue (IS-BLUE; "BLUE"), a visual dye. Results are expressed as:

* "Any HOT" = Those whose samples bound 99tech.

* "Not HOT" = Those whose samples did not bind 99tech.

* "Not HOT (also no BLUE, no GREEN)" = Those whose samples did not bind 99tech; and also did not bind IC-GREEN nor IS-BLUE.

* "HOT, BLUE, GREEN" = Those whose samples bound all of 99tech; IC-GREEN; and IS-BLUE.

* "HOT, no BLUE, no GREEN" = Those whose samples bound 99tech, but did not bind either of IC-GREEN nor IS-BLUE.

* "HOT, GREEN only, no BLUE" = Those whose samples bound 99tech and IC-GREEN, but did not bind IS-BLUE.
