In vivo isolation of circulating tumor cells from peripheral blood of patients with breast cancer by using a structured antibody-coated nanodetector
ISRCTN ISRCTN66203697
ClinicalTrials.gov identifier
Public title In vivo isolation of circulating tumor cells from peripheral blood of patients with breast cancer by using a structured antibody-coated nanodetector
Scientific title In vivo isolation of circulating tumor cells from peripheral blood of patients with breast cancer by using a structured antibody-coated nanodetector: An explorative mono-centre non-randomised trial
Acronym N/A
Serial number at source CIP FSMW EpCAM-Brust-P000
Study hypothesis The aim of this explorative mono-centre trial is the in vivo proof of concept. The compatibility in patients with operable breast cancer after exposure of the nanodetector in the patient vein for 30 minutes will be tested. Besides of that a performance analysis will be done. In a second group of patients with operable breast cancer a double application of the nanodetector will be performed to assess the reliability of the nanodetector after positive evaluation of the proof of concept. In parallel the antibody-based CellSearch® assay will take place to compare the in vivo isolation with the nanodetector with the FDA-approved CellSearch® method.

2. Age ≤ 18 years
3. Results of laboratory tests are in the area that the patient is qualified to perform an operation
4. Written informed consent
Participants - exclusion criteria 1. All results of laboratory tests, which represent in the opinion of the auditor a risk to the participation of the patient
2. Different types of allergies (including hay fever)

Target number of participants 82
Interventions The first group of patients will receive a single application of the nanodetector. After the complete recruitment of this group of patients a second group will be included in the study. In the second group of participants two nanodetectors will be applied under same conditions. The nanodetector will be inserted pre-operatively. Each nanodetector will be inserted in an arm vein for 30 min. To demonstrate the functionality of the nanodetector circulating tumor cells will be detected by immunocytochemistry. In parallel a blood sample will be taken from every patient before the application of the nanodetector. This blood sample will be analyzed with the CellSearch® method. At the end the data from these two methods will be compared.
Primary outcome measure(s) 1. Positive isolation of circulating tumorcells from peripheral blood of patients with breast cancer by using the nanodetector (proof of concept)
2. Demonstration of good biocompatibility
Secondary outcome measure(s) 1. Assessment of the accuracy of the nanodetector
2. Review of product-application-procedures
3. Comparision of the results with the CellSearch® method
