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 - NCT05022199Enrolling by invitation
Fluorescent imaging during urinary surgery to reduce strictures
This trial studies whether a special imaging dye and camera during urinary diversion surgery can lower the chance of a future narrowing (a stricture). If you are having an open urinary diversion, this test may help surgeons see blood flow and work more precisely.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07773688Recruiting
Microscopy study of skin biopsy samples
This study uses a special microscope to look at skin biopsy samples in more detail. It may help doctors understand skin conditions better and improve future diagnoses.

Studying skin biopsies with advanced microscopy
This trial uses a special microscope to look at skin biopsy samples in new ways. It may help doctors understand skin conditions better without needing extra procedures.
Victor, New YorkAges Any age - NCT07749417Recruiting
Detecting kidney injury early after heart procedures
This study tests a new light-based method to check kidney function right after heart surgery or imaging tests that use contrast dye. It aims to catch kidney damage early, so doctors can treat it sooner.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06322862Recruiting
Fluorescence test for blood flow in emergency bowel surgery
This trial tests if a special imaging technique (fluorescence) can help doctors see how well blood is flowing to the bowel during emergency surgery for suspected mesenteric ischemia. This could help them decide which part of the bowel to remove, if any.
Copenhagen, Capital RegionAges 18 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+ - NCT01898416RecruitingPhase 2
5-ALA by mouth to reduce regrowth of desmoid tumors
This Phase 2 trial tests whether taking a medicine called 5-ALA by mouth after treatment can lower how often desmoid tumors come back in the same area. If you have a desmoid tumor that can be removed and you meet safety criteria, this study may help determine whether 5-ALA is effective and safe for you.
Tel Aviv, IsraelAges 18 years+ - NCT07060443RecruitingPhase 2
Fluorescent dye study for right-sided colon cancer surgery
This trial tests whether using a fluorescent dye during surgery can help doctors better see and remove lymph nodes in people with right-sided colon cancer. It aims to make surgery more precise and potentially improve outcomes.
DaeguAges 19–85 - NCT05887934Enrolling by invitation
Bone lead levels and mental health in adults
This study looks at whether the amount of lead stored in the body (from old exposures) is linked to brain activity and mental health. It may help researchers understand what kinds of brain/mental health symptoms are related to lead exposure.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 18–70 - 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.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07352930Recruiting
Fluorescence-guided system for breast cancer surgery margins
This trial tests a new imaging system that helps surgeons see if cancer cells remain after breast-conserving surgery. It may reduce the need for a second surgery by giving real-time feedback on the removed tissue.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07195331RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing dye doses for clearer bile duct images during gallbladder surgery
This trial tests two different doses of a special dye (indocyanine green) to see which one gives surgeons a clearer view of the bile ducts during gallbladder removal. The goal is to help make the surgery safer and reduce the risk of injury.
Salamanca, SalamancaAges 18 years+ - NCT07201376Recruiting
Testing a skin imaging device for non-melanoma skin cancer
This study tests a device that uses a special light to image skin lesions after applying an FDA-approved cream. It aims to see if the device can help doctors see benign skin growths more clearly before they are removed.
Lebanon, New HampshireAges 18 years+ - NCT06409013Recruiting
Dye-guided surgery for sarcoma removal
This study tests whether using a special dye during surgery helps doctors see and remove sarcoma tumors more completely. It may help improve the chances that no cancer is left behind.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06948552RecruitingPhase 2
Using a light-sensitizing drug to find cancer in the upper urinary tract
This trial tests whether taking a drug called 5-ALA before a scope procedure helps doctors spot cancer cells in the upper urinary tract more clearly. If you are having a scope to check for or treat a tumor in this area, this experimental imaging method might help guide treatment.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18–75 - NCT03582124RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
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+ - NCT04191460RecruitingPhase 2
Fluorescence-guided surgery for oral cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests a special light-tracking medicine (cRGD-ZW800-1) to help surgeons see oral cancer during surgery. The goal is to improve how well the tumor is found and removed while keeping side effects manageable.
Rotterdam, South HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT04719156RecruitingPhase 2
Fluorescent dye to check tumor margins during surgery
This Phase 2 study tests whether using a fluorescent dye during tumor surgery can help the surgical team better see where the tumor ends. It may help aim for complete removal and lower the chance of the tumor coming back.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–100 - 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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for fluorescence?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 95 recruiting fluorescence 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 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 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.
