Concurrent Use Lymphoseek & Indocyanine Green in Sentinel Lymph Node Detection in Endometrial Cancer

September 18, 2023 updated by: Amer Karam, Stanford University

Concurrent Use of Lymphoseek and Indocyanine Green for Sentinel Lymph Node Detection in Endometrial Cancer - a Prospective Study

The goal of this study is to (i) improve detection of sentinel nodes and (ii) reduce additional surgical dissection that is needed in case a sentinel lymph node cannot be detected.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Primary Objective: To determine the detection rate of bilateral sentinel lymph nodes with the concurrent use of Lymphoseek and Indocyanine Green.

Secondary Objective: (1) To determine the overall detection rate of sentinel lymph nodes with concurrent use of Lymphoseek and Indocyanine Green (2) To determine location and number of Lymphoseek-positive sentinel lymph nodes preoperatively by single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT/CT imaging) and intraoperatively by a laparoscopic handheld gamma detection device and near- infrared fluorescent imaging (3) To determine the concordance of Lymphoseek-positive sentinel lymph nodes with intraoperatively detected Indocyanine Green-positive sentinel lymph nodes.

  • The patient has an Eastern Cooperative Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-2.
  • If age less than or equal to 55 years, the patient has a negative pregnancy test within 72 hours before administration of Lymphoseek, has been surgically sterilized, or has been postmenopausal for at least 1 year.
  • The patient has provided written informed consent.
  • The patient is at least 18 years of age at the time of consent

Exclusion Criteria:

  • The patient has clinical or radiological evidence of metastatic disease.
  • The patient has a history of a prior loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) or cone procedure performed on her cervix.
  • The patient has participated in another investigational drug study within 30 days of scheduled surgery.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Lymphoseek/SPECT-CT/Indocyanine
The subject will receive f 0.5 mL each Lymphoseek into the uterine cervix prior to surgery and subsequent SPECT/CT imaging preoperatively. Intraoperatively, following anesthesia induction, Indocyanine Green (0.5 mL) will be injected into the uterine cervix. Using near-infrared imaging, efferent lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes will be visualized and confirmed by detected radioactivity using a laparoscopic gamma counter. The preoperatively obtained SPECT/CT images will help guide the surgery.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Participants With Bilateral SLNs
Time Frame: during surgery, an average of 3 hours
A sentinel lymph node will be defined as being detected if it is detected on the pre-operative SPECT/CT imaging scan or intraoperatively using near-infrared imaging or the handheld gamma detection device.
during surgery, an average of 3 hours

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Overall Detection of SLN Detection
Time Frame: during surgery, an average of 3 hours
For each subject, an assessment will be made of whether there was overall sentinel node detection. A sentinel lymph node will be defined as being detected if it is detected on the pre-operative SPECT/CT imaging scan or intraoperatively using near-infrared imaging or the handheld gamma detection device. If at least one SLN is detected (on any side), then this outcome will be considered a 'Yes'.
during surgery, an average of 3 hours
Number of SLNs Detected by Lymphoseek:
Time Frame: during surgery, an average of 3 hours
The number of sentinel lymph nodes detected by Lymphoseek will be assessed. A sentinel lymph node will be defined as being detected by Lymphoseek if it is detected using the pre-operative SPECT/CT imaging scan and/or intraoperatively using the gamma detection device.
during surgery, an average of 3 hours
Location of SLNs Detected by Lymphoseek:
Time Frame: during surgery, an average of 3 hours
The location and number of sentinel lymph nodes detected by Lymphoseek will be assessed. A sentinel lymph node will be defined as being detected by Lymphoseek if it is detected using the pre-operative SPECT/CT imaging scan and/or intraoperatively using the gamma detection device.
during surgery, an average of 3 hours
Number of SLNs Detected by Indocyanine Green
Time Frame: during surgery, an average of 3 hours
Number of SLNs detected by Indocyanine Green: The location and number of sentinel lymph nodes detected by Indocyanine Green will be assessed. A sentinel lymph node will be defined as being detected by Indocyanine Green if it is detected intraoperatively using near-infrared imaging only and not by the gamma detection device.
during surgery, an average of 3 hours
Location of SLNs Detected by Indocyanine Green
Time Frame: during surgery, an average of 3 hours
Location of SLNs detected by Indocyanine Green: The location and number of sentinel lymph nodes detected by Indocyanine Green will be assessed. A sentinel lymph node will be defined as being detected by Indocyanine Green if it is detected intraoperatively using near-infrared imaging only and not by the gamma detection device.
during surgery, an average of 3 hours
