SENTINOT_2 Trial Summary

This trial is investigating the use of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles as a tracer for delayed sentinel lymph node dissection in patients where upfront axillary surgery is oncologically deemed unnecessary.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients with a pre-diagnosis of ductal cancer in situ (DCIS) or suspicious breast lesions, who are undergoing procedures that might affect future sentinel lymph node detection. It's also open to those planning risk-reducing mastectomies or complex oncoplastic surgeries. Excluded are individuals with iron/dextran/SPIO hypersensitivity, iron overload diseases, pregnant/lactating women, and those deprived of liberty or under guardianship.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the use of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles as a tracer for delayed sentinel lymph node dissection in breast cancer cases where immediate axillary surgery isn't necessary. If invasive cancer is found after initial surgery, then an operation in the axilla follows.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions related to intolerance to SPIO such as allergic reactions or issues due to excess iron from the nanoparticles used during the procedure.

SENTINOT_2 Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Delayed SLND (SPIO-first arm)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
All study participants have been injected interstitially with SPIO, 2ml, at the primary operation. Magnetic axillary signal is registered at the end of the procedure but the SLN is not removed. If invasive cancer is found in the specimen, reoperation for SLND with the addition of Tc +/- BD is performed. At reoperation, SPIO is the "primary" detection tracer.
Group II: Late SLND (RI-first arm)Active Control1 Intervention
All study participants have been injected interstitially with SPIO, 2ml, at the primary operation. Magnetic axillary signal is registered at the end of the procedure but the SLN is not removed. If invasive cancer is found in the specimen, reoperation for SLND with the addition of Tc +/- BD is performed. At reoperation, Tc is the "primary" detection tracer.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

What goals does this experiment aim to achieve?

"The primary outcome variable that will be assessed in this study is the l-SLND detection rate, which will be evaluated at a single time point (at operation). Secondary outcome measures include Per patient concordance, Malignancy rate, and Nodal Malignancy rate. Analyses will be performed cumulatively and +/-BD and per type of surgery (BCT or mastectomy)."

Answered by AI

Are there any anticipated risks associated with Delayed SLND?

"Given that this is a phase 3 trial with both efficacy and safety data, our team at Power has rated the safety of Delayed SLND as a 3."

Answered by AI

Are we still recruiting participants for this trial?

"That is correct. The clinical trial, which was posted on March 1st 2020 and updated on March 14th 2022, is still recruiting patients. They are looking for 500 individuals across 1 medical centre."
