About this trial

Designed in five-arm, single-center, prospective randomized, observational- interventional, open-label study which will evaluate patients with histological proven early-stage BC that will undergo planned BCS for their local treatment.

Two preoperatively times frames will be used for the administration of a total of 5 different indocyanine green (ICG) dose as a single dose-patient arm.

In the first time frame (intraoperative arms), the dose of, respectively 0.125 mg/kg and 0.25 mg/kg of ICG will be administered at induction anesthesia (at least 20 minutes before the BCS) in two subgroups.

In the second time frame, (preoperative arms), the dose of, respectively, 0.5 mg/kg, 1 mg/kg, and 2 mg/kg of ICG will be administered 24 h before surgery in 3 subgroups.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

female;

age of ≥18 years;

histological diagnosis of ductal invasive breast cancer;

a primary early-stage invasive breast cancer (cT1 and/or cT2, assessed clinically and/or radiologically), without prior BC surgery of the actually affected breast;

Disqualifiers

in situ breast cancer disease;

lobular invasive breast cancer (at histology);

invasive breast cancer treated by neoadjuvant chemotherapy and/or endocrine therapy;

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Indocyanine green

    Drug

    Indocyanine green dye (Diagnostic Green) will be diluted with sterile water and a specific dose-arm (0.125 mg/kg, 0.25 mg/kg, 05 mg/kg, 1 mg/kg, and 2 mg/kg) will be administrated by slow intravenous injection by peripheral venous catheter: * at induction anaesthesia of the surgical procedure (0.125 mg/kg or 0.25mg/kg), or * in the hospital room 24 hours before the breast surgery (05 mg/kg, or 1 mg/kg, or 2 mg/kg).

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Accuracy of ICG-FI technique for the detection of positive (involved) surgical margins at the patient level

The sensitivity (Se), specificity (Sp), negative predictive value (NPV), false negative rate (FNR), FPR of the ICG-FI technique will be computed at the patient level

Time frame
2 years

Secondary outcomes

1

Comparison of ICG-FI technique accuracy at different doses and timing

The sensitivity (Se), specificity (Sp), negative predictive value (NPV), false negative rate (FNR), FPR of the ICG-FI technique will be computed

Time frame
2 years
2

Characterization of the breast tumor fluorescence (tumor-to- background fluorescence ratio)

Characterization of the appearance and intensity of fluorescence at the level of tumor cells

Time frame
2 years
3

Evaluation of fluorescence intensity of axillary lymph nodes

The distribution of fluorescence intensity will be calculated depending on the type of axillary lymph node (LN) : sentinel vs other and respectively metastatic LN vs healthy LN)

Time frame
2 years
