Table 3.

Classification of patients according to pathology status of [99mTc]tilmanocept-identified SLNs, overall pathology nodal status, and calculated efficacy performance metrics

Overall nodal pathology status (SLN and non-SLN), by patient
Positive (with one or more nodes) Negative
Pathology status of SLN, by patient
 Positive (one or more nodes) 38 (true positive)
 Negative (or no SLNs identified)   1 (false negative)   44 (true negative)  
Performance metrics Rate 95 % exact binomial CIa
False negative rate 0.0256 0.0006–0.1349
Negative predictive value 0.9778 0.8823– 0.9994
Overall accuracy 0.9880 0.9347– 0.9997

Data represent the intent-to-treat population (N = 83)

CI confidence interval, SLN sentinel lymph node

aThe CI for the false negative rate is 95.03 %
