Trial Outcomes & Findings for Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy Findings in Patients With Breast Cancer (NCT NCT02287675)

NCT ID: NCT02287675

Last Updated: 2020-07-28

Results Overview

The rate of injection site clearance is the time from radiotracer injection to peak SLN radioactive level. Injection clearance rates will be determined by planar SPECT imaging and by SPECT/CT. Subjects will undergo standard sequential planar imaging at 30 to 60 seconds intervals until the sentinel lymph node is seen. Once a sentinel node is located, a SPECT/CT will be performed for higher resolution imaging in transaxial, coronal, and sagittal planes.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 2 hours

The rate of injection site clearance is the time from radiotracer injection to peak SLN radioactive level. Injection clearance rates will be determined by planar SPECT imaging and by SPECT/CT. Subjects will undergo standard sequential planar imaging at 30 to 60 seconds intervals until the sentinel lymph node is seen. Once a sentinel node is located, a SPECT/CT will be performed for higher resolution imaging in transaxial, coronal, and sagittal planes.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 2 hours

SLN uptake rates will be determined by planar SPECT (single-photon emission computerized tomography) imaging and by SPECT/CT (CT-computed tomography). Gamma counts will be obtained at the injection site by standard sequential planar imaging at 30 to 60 seconds intervals until the sentinel lymph node is seen. Once a sentinel node is located, a SPECT/CT will be performed for higher resolution imaging in transaxial, coronal, and sagittal planes. Figures showing the percent of peak activity in the node versus time will be constructed for each radiopharmaceutical. The average uptake rate for each radiopharmaceutical will be computed and the following test will be conducted using a two-sample t-test at a two-sided α=0.05 (one-sided α=0.025) level of significance: H0 (null hypothesis): µLS ≤ µSC vs. HA (alternative hypothesis): µLS \> µSC, (µLS is the average SLN uptake rate of Lymphoseek) (µSC is the average SLN uptake rate of 99mTc Sulfur Colloid).
