GeneSearch Breast Lymph Node (BLN) Assay Timing Study

Terminated
Conditions
Breast Cancer
Interventions
Device: GeneSearch™ Breast Lymph Node (BLN) Assay
Registration Number
NCT00595023
Lead Sponsor
Janssen Diagnostics, LLC
Brief Summary

This study is designed to collect data about the amount of time required to use the assay in clinical-use conditions.

Detailed Description

Assay turn-around-time will be collected at sites that are using the GeneSearch BLN Assay for intraoperative testing of sentinel lymph nodes. The sites must be planning to use the assay result to guide the decision to complete an axillary lymph node dissection.

  • Patients for whom the GeneSearch™ BLN Assay will be used intra-operatively to make a decision for an axillary lymph node dissection
  • 18 years of age or older
  • Female or male
Exclusion Criteria
  • Previous diagnosis of lymphoma
  • Subjects participating in other research studies that would interfere with their full participation in this study
  • Patients and/or conditions with 'interfering substances' as listed in the IFU

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
To collect data in relation to other surgical procedures during the SLND/breast surgery to determine if the assay TAT resulted in longer surgery time than would have occurred if the assay had not been used.1 day
To determine, under clinical use conditions, the assay turn-around-time (TAT) from the time of node removal to the report of the assay result to the surgeon.1 day
To determine, under clinical use conditions, whether the assay result was or was not received in time ('time for decision' (TFD)) to make an intra-operative decision to proceed to further non-sentinel axillary lymph node dissection.1 day
