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

Overview

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.

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.

Interventions

  • Drug: Lymphoseek
    • Radioactive diagnostic agent
  • Device: Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT)
    • Imaging test
  • Drug: Indocyanine Green (ICG)
    • Cyanine dye used in medical diagnostics manufactured by Akorn Inc.
  • Device: Neoprobe Gamma Detection System NPB11L(Model1102)
    • Neoprobe Gamma Detection System NPB11L(Model1102) made by Devicor Medical Products, Inc.

Arms, Groups and Cohorts

  • 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.

Clinical Trial Outcome Measures

Primary Measures

  • 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.

Secondary Measures

  • 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’.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
