Trial Outcomes & Findings for Evaluation of Sentinel Lymph Nodes in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (NCT NCT00911326)

NCT ID: NCT00911326

Last Updated: 2014-08-08

Results Overview

The FNR is calculated as a percentage from the ratio of false negatives to the sum of true positives plus false negatives. The FNR point estimate was the observed rate and was made on a per-patient basis relative to patients with pathology-positive nodes.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Surgery after injection of Lymphoseek

The FNR is calculated as a percentage from the ratio of false negatives to the sum of true positives plus false negatives. The FNR point estimate was the observed rate and was made on a per-patient basis relative to patients with pathology-positive nodes.

Outcome measures

Outcome measures
Measure
Intent-to-treat (ITT)
n=83 Participants
All enrolled patients who were injected with Lymphoseek, who underwent surgery, and had at least one lymph node removed (sentinel or non-sentinel) for which the pathology status (presence/absence of tumor cells) was confirmed.
False Negative Rate (FNR)
2.56 % of pathology-positive participants
Interval 0.06 to 13.49

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Surgery after injection of Lymphoseek

The NPV is calculated as a percentage from the ratio of true negatives to the sum of true negatives plus false negatives. The NPV point estimate was the observed rate and was made on a per-patient basis relative to patients predicted to be pathology-negative.

Intent-to-treat (ITT)
n=83 Participants
All enrolled patients who were injected with Lymphoseek, who underwent surgery, and had at least one lymph node removed (sentinel or non-sentinel) for which the pathology status (presence/absence of tumor cells) was confirmed.
Negative Predictive Value (NPV)
97.8 % of participants predicted negative
Interval 88.2 to 99.9

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Surgery after injection of Lymphoseek

The overall accuracy is calculated as a percentage from the ratio of (true positives + true negatives) / (true positives + false negatives + true negatives). The overall accuracy point estimate was the observed rate and was made on a per-patient basis relative to all patients in the intent-to-treat population.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Surgery after injection of Lymphoseek

The rate of the subjects for whom Lymphoseek identified at least 1 sentinel lymph node. The detection rate point estimate was the observed rate and was made on a per-patient basis relative to all patients in the intent-to-treat population.
