Clinical trial for Stage I Uterine Corpus Carcinoma or Carcinosarcoma AJCC v8
Official title Impact of Sentinel Lymph Node Mapping on Patient Reported Lower Extremity Limb Dysfunction in Stage I Endometrial Cancer
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05646316
What this study is testing
What is Indocyanine Green Solution?
It is an investigational dye being studied to help doctors find specific lymph nodes during surgery for stage I uterine cancer. It is designed to be injected and tracked with a special camera to identify the first lymph nodes that drain from the tumor.
Also referred to as IC-GREEN, ICG Solution.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment. It is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- The study wants to see whether using sentinel lymph node mapping lowers the chance of long‑term leg swelling (lymphedema) after a hysterectomy.
- Who it's for
- Women with stage I uterine (endometrial) cancer who are having a hysterectomy.
- What's involved
- Participants will have either sentinel lymph node mapping (a dye and camera to find key nodes) or the usual removal of many lymph nodes during surgery, followed by standard follow‑up visits.
- Time commitment
- The trial follows patients after surgery for several months to track leg swelling, with routine follow‑up appointments as scheduled.
- Phase 3: a large, late-stage study
- Which group you join is decided by chance.
