NCT02294565

Brief Summary

The purpose of this Phase 1 portion of this clinical research study is to find out what dose of dilute fluorescein is needed for a surgeon to best see important lymph nodes that need to be removed during surgery (a standard of care surgery referred to as a Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy procedure) in patients diagnosed with breast cancer. The purpose of the Phase 2 portion of this clinical research study is to find out if giving dilute fluorescein sodium in combination with a radiotracer (a drug that is radioactive) can help surgeons localize the lymph nodes that need to be removed in patients diagnosed by breast cancer.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • LYMPH NODE-LEVEL CONCORDANCE of Visually Observed VST-1001 Fluorescence and 99mTc-Labeled Sulfur Colloid Radioactivity, where CONCORDANCE is defined relative to radioactive nodes

    Fluorescence and radioactivity data will be collected during the SLNB surgical procedure.

    The primary outcome is assessed during surgery.

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • LYMPH NODE-LEVEL REVERSE CONCORDANCE of Visually Observed VST-1001 Fluorescence and 99mTc-Labeled Sulfur Colloid Radioactivity, where REVERSE CONCORDANCE is defined relative to fluorescent nodes

    The secondary outcome is assessed during surgery.

Study Arms (1)

VST-1001 & 99mTc-labeled sulfur colloid

OTHER

VST-1001 (with medical devices) and 99mTc-labeled sulfur colloid are used together during a SLNB procedure in a single subject. Both drugs are evaluated for lymphatic mapping and localization of lymph nodes. The current standard of care for lymphatic mapping and lymph node localization during a SLNB procedure is a combined-modality technique that employs both a radiotracer (99mTc-labeled sulfur colloid is the radiotracer used in this study) and a vital blue dye (a patient receives both drugs). In this study, the vital blue dye is replaced with VST-1001 and companion medical devices. VST-1001 is excited by a medical device (blue-light LED illuminator) to fluoresce; the surgeon is wearing blue-light filtering eyewear to improve visualization of the relevant tissue structures.

Drug: VST-1001Drug: 99mTc-labeled sulfur colloid

Interventions

Single-dose injection (peritumoral, periareolar, and/or intradermal) of VST-1001 administered pre-SLNB procedure; VST-1001 is used with medical devices (blue-light LED illuminator and blue-light filtering eyewear) for lymphatic mapping and localization of lymph nodes during a SLNB procedure.

Also known as: dilute fluorescein
VST-1001 & 99mTc-labeled sulfur colloid

Single-dose injection (peritumoral, periareolar, intradermal, and/or subdermal) of 99mTc-labeled sulfur colloid administered per standard of care; the radioactivity of the radioactive colloid is detected with a gamma probe per standard of care.

Also known as: radiocolloid, radiotracer

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Diagnosis of primary breast cancer.
  • Diagnosed with invasive adenocarcinoma, or DCIS for which a SLNB is the recommended standard of care, or breast cancer with all of the following conditions met:
  • FNA results positive for cancer cells
  • positive clinical breast examination
  • mammography and/or US and/or MRI abnormality(ies) consistent with malignancy.
  • N0 and M0 at the time of study entry.
  • ECOG 0, 1, or 2

You may not qualify if:

  • A tumor with direct extension to the chest wall and/or to the skin.
  • Diffuse tumors or multiple malignant tumors in the breast.
  • Prior breast malignancy of the ipsilateral breast.
  • Patient currently receiving or had prior treatment for the currently diagnosed breast cancer.
  • Medical conditions and/or prior surgical procedures that have the potential to substantially alter the lymphatic drainage pattern from the primary tumor to the lymph node basin.
  • Inability to localize 1 or 2 lymph node drainage basin(s) via lymphatic mapping.
