Recruiting studies
- NCT06292845Recruiting
Using fluorescent dye to see tumors during surgery
This trial tests whether a fluorescent dye applied to tissue during surgery helps doctors see tumors and check if the tumor removal is complete. If you have a solid tumor and are scheduled for surgery, this study may improve the precision of your operation.
Rotterdam, South HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT04943484Recruiting
ICG camera dye test during surgery for advanced stomach cancer
This trial tests whether an “ICG” dye and special camera can help surgeons see cancer more clearly during surgery for advanced stomach cancer. It may help improve how safely and accurately surgeons remove the tumor and nearby lymph nodes.
Milan, ItaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT06396806Enrolling by invitation
Sigmoid cancer surgery with or without dye tracing
This trial compares two surgical approaches for sigmoid colon cancer to see if using a special dye to see lymph nodes during surgery leads to better outcomes.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT03938701RecruitingPhase 2
Imaging gut and joint inflammation with adalimumab and a light tracer
This study uses a special “light tracer” medicine with adalimumab to see where inflammation is in the gut (IBD) or joints (RA). If you have active disease, it may help doctors better target treatment by showing inflammation more clearly during scans.
Groningen, Provincie GroningenAges 18 years+ - NCT06485609Recruiting
Dye-guided surgery for right colon cancer
This trial tests whether adding a special dye (indocyanine green) during surgery to remove right-sided colon cancer helps the surgeon see and remove more lymph nodes. The goal is to improve cancer removal without adding extra risks.
GuangzhouAges 18–75 - NCT07650656RecruitingPhase 2
Fluorescence-Guided Surgery to Improve Sarcoma Tumor Removal
This trial tests a special dye and imaging technique to help surgeons see and remove sarcoma tumors more completely. The goal is to reduce the chance that cancer cells are accidentally left behind during surgery.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT06222645Recruiting
Comparing two dyes in gastrointestinal surgery
This trial compares two dyes used during stomach or intestine surgery to see which helps surgeons see the blood flow better. It may help decide which dye works best for safe reconnections.
Yantai, ShandongAges 18 years+ - NCT06307548RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Image-guided surgery and light therapy for colorectal cancer
This trial tests a special dye that helps surgeons see tumors more clearly during surgery, followed by a light therapy to destroy any remaining cancer cells. It is for people with advanced or returning colorectal cancer who are already scheduled for surgery.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07010341Recruiting
Dye test to check parathyroid blood flow during thyroid surgery
This trial tests a dye called indocyanine green (ICG) to see how well it shows blood flow to the tiny parathyroid glands during thyroid surgery. This may help doctors know right away if the glands are healthy, which could lower the chance of complications.
Fuzhou, FujianAges Any age - NCT07278986RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Imaging dye during endometrial cancer surgery
This trial tests a dye (CYTALUX) that helps surgeons see endometrial cancer during surgery. You may be eligible if you have endometrial cancer and are scheduled for surgery.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04734821Recruiting
Fluorescent imaging during stomach or esophagus surgery
This study tests whether a special fluorescent camera during surgery can help surgeons better operate on resectable (removable) stomach or esophagus cancer. It may help improve how surgery is guided, with the goal of safer and more accurate tumor removal.
StrasbourgAges 18 years+ - NCT06906471RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a PSMA dye to improve prostate biopsy
This trial tests a new dye (AS1986NS) that sticks to prostate cancer cells during a biopsy. It aims to help doctors see cancer more clearly. You may be able to join if you are scheduled for a standard prostate biopsy and have no major health issues.
Miami, FloridaAges 18–90 - NCT07362485Recruiting
Finding sentinel nodes during mastectomy with dye
This trial tests if a special dye (indocyanine green) can find the first lymph nodes (sentinel nodes) during mastectomy. It may help improve staging for women with early breast cancer who need or choose mastectomy.
Zwolle, OverijsselAges 18 years+ - NCT06473103Recruiting
Checking skin cancer margins with a new microscope
This trial is testing a new microscope technique that may help doctors see more clearly whether all cancer cells have been removed during standard skin cancer surgery. It could help make sure the surgery is successful the first time.
Victor, New YorkAges Any age - NCT06793644Recruiting
ICG dye imaging for open fractures and infections
This trial tests if injecting a special dye (ICG) during surgery can help doctors see blood flow and infection in open fractures or infected bone areas. The dye glows under a special camera, which may guide better treatment decisions.
Lebanon, New HampshireAges 18 years+ - NCT04878094RecruitingPhase 3
Test dye imaging during surgery for ovarian cancer
This study tests whether using a special imaging dye during surgery can help surgeons better manage parts of the bowel during operations for ovarian cancer. It may help guide whether a low anterior rectosigmoid resection and reconnection (anastomosis) are needed.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges Any age - NCT05945875RecruitingPhase 1
Dual scans to find head and neck cancer spread
This early-stage study tests two different imaging (scanning) methods to better detect head and neck cancer. Your results from the scans may help doctors see where disease is before standard surgery to remove lymph nodes in the neck.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 19 years+ - NCT03384238RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Panitumumab dye during pancreatic surgery
This trial tests whether a targeted antibody with a fluorescent dye can help surgeons see and remove pancreatic cancer during planned surgery. It’s an early-phase study, so the main goal is to see if the approach is safe and useful around the time of the operation.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 19 years+ - NCT07165340Enrolling by invitationPhase 1/Phase 2
Physiotherapy for leg swelling from vein disease
This study tests whether adding a special physiotherapy program can help reduce leg swelling in people with vein disease. If you have swelling from varicose veins or other vein problems and have not tried certain treatments before, you may be able to join.

Panitumumab dye to help find lung cancer during surgery
This trial tests a special dye drug (panitumumab-IRDye800) that may help surgeons better see lung cancer areas while operating. If it works, it could improve how well cancer tissue is found and removed during planned lung surgery.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 19 years+ - NCT04780009Recruiting
Imaging tool during brain tumor surgery
This trial tests a special camera system used during surgery to help doctors see brain tumor tissue using fluorescent light. It may help the surgeon remove more tumor while protecting healthy brain areas.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 18–90 - NCT05047510Recruiting
Fluorescent-guided surgery for liver cancer using GPC3 dye
This trial studies whether a special fluorescent dye that targets GPC3 can help surgeons find liver cancer more clearly during an operation. It may improve how accurately tumor tissue is identified while you have surgery for hepatocellular carcinoma.
Zhuhai, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05576974RecruitingPhase 2
Test a dye used during surgery to find head and neck cancer
This trial tests whether a single dose of an imaging dye (given during surgery) can help doctors find the unknown origin of head and neck cancer and check safety. It may help guide surgery and biopsies when the primary cancer location hasn’t been identified.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for fluorescence imaging?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 43 recruiting fluorescence imaging studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a fluorescence imaging trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a fluorescence imaging trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
