Validation of Ferromagnetic Tracer in Melanoma Sentinel Node (IMINEM)

February 28, 2018 updated by: Antonio Piñero-Madrona, Sociedad Española de Oncología Quirúrgica

Isotopic Versus Magnetic Intraoperative Node Evaluation in Cutaneous Malignant Melanoma

This study has been designed to validate a non-radioactive method to identify the sentinel lymph node using a superparamagnetic iron-oxide (SPIO) tracer respect to the traditional isotopic method. Both methods are used in every included patient and each patient is its own control.

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.

Detailed Description

  • Injection of the isotopic tracer in standard form and in the usual preoperative period (hours-day).
  • Identical injection in three-four punctures of 2 mL of Sienna+ ® and local massage of 5-10 minutes.
  • Optional: colorant injection in standard form. Local massage of 5-10 minutes.
  • After 20 minutes: transcutaneous measurement with SentiMag®
  • Valuing territories (lymphoscintigraphy information?)

  • Surgical identification measures:

    1. st with SentiMag®
    2. nd with gamma detection probe
  • Ex vivo check and HRD record

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)

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Patients with cutaneous malignant melanoma with indication for sentinel lymph node biopsy in staging.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Adult patients (>18 years of age),
  • with diagnosis of cutaneous melanoma and
  • in which SLNB is indicated as a staging method, and
  • with cN0 result after clinical-echographic-cytohistological evaluation.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Previous treatment with systemic therapy.
  • Recent previous surgery (<3 months) in the area susceptible of lymphatic drainage from the melanoma.
  • Intolerance or hypersensitivity to iron or dextran compounds.
  • Impossibility of use of radioisotope.
  • Existence of pathology related to elevation of organic iron (hemosiderosis, hemochromatosis, iron deficiency anemia of metabolic or circulatory origin).
  • Implantation of pacemakers or partially or totally metallic thoracic implants.
  • Treatment with iron chelators (deferasirox, deferoxamine, ...).

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
SN detection
Time Frame: During surgery
Detection of potential sentinel nodes using both methods (isotopic and ferromagnetic tracers). Máximum register of isotopic and ferromagnetic measurement will be the main criteria.
During surgery

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
SN agreement
Time Frame: During surgery
Agreement in isotopic and ferromagnetic sentinel node identification. Measurement criteria will be coincidence in the same node (or nodes).
During surgery

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (ACTUAL)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
December 21, 2015

Primary Completion (ANTICIPATED)

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. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. 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.

Study Completion (ANTICIPATED)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit). The "anticipated" study completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the study completion date.
