Withdrawn study sought to ease lymphedema fears in breast cancer patients
NCT ID NCT06672224
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study was designed to see if getting an IV in the arm that had breast cancer surgery increases the risk of lymphedema (arm swelling). Researchers planned to use a special dye called indocyanine green (ICG) and a camera system (SPY angiography) to watch how fluid moves through the arm. The study was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no results are available.

Inclusion Criteria: * Documented written informed consent of the participant * Men or women age: \>= 18 years * Diagnosis of breast cancer * Full axillary dissection at least 12 months prior * Patient needs vena puncture and has problem with access in the contralateral arm. Recruitment includes patients who do not wish to use their contralateral arm, lower extremities, or central access through their neck, as well as patients for whom multiple attempts result in increased anxiety, discomfort, and treatment delays * No clinical evidence of lymphedema by MD Anderson grading system and normal SOZO values compared to contralateral arm * Willingness to: * Complete Lymphedema Life Impact Scale (LLIS) survey * Allow measurement of arm circumference, bioimpedance, and ICG imaging in real time * Permit medical record/clinical laboratory result review Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with active malignancy (i.e., currently undergoing treatment), infection, or bleeding tendency * Diagnosis of lymphedema * Women of childbearing potential: pregnant/nursing
