Sentinel Lymph Node Mapping Post-Injection Site Pain

August 13, 2019 updated by: University of California, San Diego

A Randomized, Double-blinded, Controlled Clinical Trial Comparing Post-injection Site Pain of Technetium-labeled Tilmanocept Versus Technetium-labeled Sulfur Colloid in Patients Undergoing Sentinel Lymph Node Mapping Procedure for Breast Cancer

This is a pain survey study that will compare the level of discomfort experienced by breast cancer patients after injection of either technetium-labeled sulfur colloid or technetium-labeled tilmanocept, both FDA-approved agents used for sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB). Breast cancer patients who are already scheduled for SLNB as part of their original surgical plan will be asked to participate in this study and be randomized to receive either technetium-labeled sulfur colloid or technetium-labeled tilmanocept. After injection, patients will complete pain questionnaires to measure the amount of discomfort they are feeling during and after they receive the injection. There will be no change to the patient's treatment plan other than the addition of pain questionnaires. The investigators' hypothesis is that patients will feel less discomfort after injection of tilmanocept versus sulfur colloid.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Female

Sampling Method

Probability Sample

Study Population

Female patients, aged 18 years or older with a diagnosis of primary breast cancer or ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) with planned Sentinel node biopsy (SLN) biopsy as part of the surgical plan were approached at preoperative clinic visits of the principal investigator. (Anne Wallace)

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • The patient has a diagnosis of biopsy-proven primary breast cancer or a diagnosis of pure ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) who will be undergoing intraoperative lymphatic mapping as part of their standard surgical plan.
  • The patient has provided written informed consent before participating in the study, as has his/her responsible caregiver, if applicable.
  • The patient is a candidate for surgical intervention, with lymph node mapping being a part of the surgical plan.
  • The patient is greater than 18 years of age at the time of consent.
  • The patient has an performance status of Grade 0 - 2.
  • The patient has a clinical negative node status at the time of study entry.
  • If the patients is of child bearing potential, the patient has a negative pregnancy test within 72 hours prior to administration of radiopharmaceutical, has been surgically sterilized, or has been postmenopausal for at least 1 year.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • The patient is pregnant or lactating.
  • The patient has clinical or radiological evidence of metastatic cancer including palpably abnormal or enlarged lymph nodes

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

Patients will receive technetium-labeled sulfur colloid, which is FDA approved for sentinel lymph node mapping in breast cancer.
Drug: Sulfur Colloid

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change from baseline level of discomfort
Time Frame: 1,2,3,4,5,15, 30 minutes after injection
After injection of either tilmanocept or sulfur colloid, patients will be asked to fill out a pain questionnaire at the above time points.
1,2,3,4,5,15, 30 minutes after injection

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Visualization of Sentinel Lymph Nodes on Lymphoscintigraphy
Time Frame: 15,30,60 minutes after injection
After injection of sulfur colloid or tilmanocept, patients will undergo lymphoscintigraphy imaging (as is standard of care for sentinel lymph node mapping) at 5, 30, and 60 minutes. We will analyze the time it takes for sentinel lymph nodes to appear on these images comparing tilmanocept versus sulfur colloid.

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure.

For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
