Brief Title: VST-1001 (Dilute Fluorescein) for Lymphatic Mapping & Localization of Lymph Nodes in Patients With Breast Cancer
Official Title: A Phase I/II Study of VST-1001 (Dilute Fluorescein) for Lymphatic Mapping and Localization of Lymph Nodes Draining a Primary Tumor Site in Patients With Clinically Node Negative Breast Cancer
Study ID: 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.
Detailed Description: The study is a single center prospective, non randomized, single arm, open label, single dose VST-1001 study for lymphatic mapping and localization of lymph nodes draining a primary tumor site in patients with clinically node negative breast cancer. This study evaluates the combined modality technique of investigational VST-1001 with companion medical devices (replacing the blue dye) and 99mTc-labeled sulfur colloid for concordance in lymphatic mapping and localization of lymph nodes in patients who are undergoing a sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) surgical procedure. This purpose of the Phase I study is to determine a safe and effective recommended dose of VST-1001 for intraoperative lymphatic mapping and localization of lymph nodes draining a breast tumor. The purpose of the Phase II study is to further evaluate the Phase I study recommended dose of VST-1001 and to evaluate its ability to provide intraoperative visualization of the lymphatic system and lymph nodes draining the primary tumor in patients diagnosed with breast cancer.
