Recruiting studies
- NCT07111182Recruiting
Using a Dye to Guide Brain Tumor Surgery
This study tests whether a special dye called 5-ALA can help surgeons see tumor tissue more clearly during brain tumor surgery. If you are having surgery for a high-grade glioma or another brain tumor, you may be able to join and help improve surgical precision.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–99 - NCT07146295Recruiting
ICG dye to find sentinel nodes in breast cancer surgery
This trial tests using a green dye called ICG (indocyanine green) during breast cancer surgery to find the first lymph nodes (sentinel nodes) that cancer may have spread to. It aims to help doctors locate these nodes more accurately, and is for people with early-stage breast cancer that has not yet spread to the lymph nodes.
AlkmaarAges 18 years+ - NCT07154563Recruiting
Quick test for breast cancer spread to lymph nodes using a new probe
This trial uses a special probe that lights up cancer cells to quickly check if breast cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes. It may help doctors decide how much surgery is needed.
Kunming, YunnanAges 18–75 - NCT07181070Recruiting
Green dye to improve surgery for swallowing disorder
This trial tests whether a special fluorescent dye called indocyanine green (ICG) can help surgeons see better during laparoscopic Heller-Dor surgery for achalasia. It may improve the safety and success of the procedure.
NaplesAges 18 years+ - NCT07234968Recruiting
Stent vs no stent after bladder removal surgery
This study looks at whether leaving a small tube (ureteral stent) in place after bladder removal helps recovery. It compares people who get a stent to those who don't, focusing on problems like leaks or infections after surgery.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–85 - NCT07250854RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Using a dye to help diagnose blocked bile ducts in newborns
This study tests if a special dye (ICG) and a camera can help doctors see blocked bile ducts in newborns with jaundice, so they can diagnose biliary atresia faster and without extra procedures.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 2 weeks–4 months - NCT07276789RecruitingPhase 2
Single-dose dye imaging for lung cancer surgery
This trial tests a single dose of a special dye (LS301-IT) that helps surgeons see lung cancer cells more clearly during surgery. It aims to make lung cancer removal more precise and complete.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT07286903Recruiting
Fluorescence-guided brain tumor surgery study
This trial tests a technique called fluorescence-enhanced surgery to help surgeons see and remove high-grade gliomas more clearly. It uses a special dye (5-ALA) that makes tumor cells glow during surgery.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT07294638Recruiting
New imaging method to find cancer spread in early gastric cancer
This trial tests a new dye that helps surgeons see if early gastric cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes. It might help guide the extent of surgery needed.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07295275Recruiting
Fluorescence-guided surgery for liver cancer
This trial tests a new way to remove liver cancer during surgery. A special dye called ICG is injected into the artery leading to the liver, which makes the tumor glow under a special camera, helping the surgeon remove just the right area. This study checks if this technique is both safe and effective for people with a common type of liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma).
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07315828RecruitingPhase 4
ICG imaging to improve surgery for giant cell bone tumors
This trial uses a special dye called indocyanine green (ICG) during surgery to make giant cell bone tumors glow, helping doctors remove them more accurately. It may lead to better surgical outcomes for people with this tumor type.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT07315841RecruitingPhase 4
Dye Imaging for Tenosynovial Giant Cell Tumor Surgery
This trial tests whether a special dye (Indocyanine Green) used during surgery can help doctors see Tenosynovial Giant Cell Tumors more clearly. It may help make the surgery more precise.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT07210632RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Nivolumab dye imaging in high grade glioma surgery
This trial tests if a special dye attached to the immunotherapy drug nivolumab can help surgeons see tumor cells during surgery for high grade glioma. You may join if you are scheduled for surgery and your organs are working well.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT00898235Recruiting
Collecting samples and health data for amyloidosis
This study collects blood and other samples, along with health information, from people who have—or might have—amyloidosis. It aims to improve understanding of the disease and support future treatments.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT00898313Recruiting
Study looks for cancer clues in people at high risk for lung cancer
This study enrolls adults who are being checked for possible lung cancer because of concerning symptoms or a high-risk situation. It aims to find molecular (cell/DNA-related) predictors that may help doctors better recognize lung cancer earlier.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT02570815RecruitingPhase 1
Fluorescent-guided robotic lung surgery for early lung cancer
This early-stage trial tests a robotic lung surgery that uses a special dye with near-infrared light to help the surgeon remove only the tumor area. If you have a small, early lung cancer, this approach may help improve accuracy while limiting how much lung is removed.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT03510208RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Uses a dye drug during brain or nerve tumor surgery
This trial tests whether a medicine with a fluorescent dye (panitumumab-IRDye800) helps doctors better see certain tumors during surgery. It may help safer, more complete tumor removal for people with glioblastoma or vestibular schwannoma.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07656571Recruiting
Green dye vs standard surgery for pancreas tail tumors
This trial compares standard laparoscopic surgery to surgery using a green dye that helps the surgeon see the pancreas more clearly. It may help patients needing removal of tumors in the body or tail of the pancreas.

Better lymph node imaging for breast cancer
This trial tests whether adding two common fluids (Mannitol and Voluven) before an ICG dye injection can help surgeons better see the lymph nodes that need to be removed during breast cancer surgery. It aims to make sentinel lymph node biopsies more accurate and safer.
Hsinchu CountyAges 20–70 - NCT06583564Enrolling by invitation
ICG dye during surgery for stage III colorectal cancer
This study tests whether using a special dye during surgery helps people with stage III colorectal cancer stay cancer-free longer. The dye, called indocyanine green (ICG), makes tumors and lymph nodes glow under a special camera, helping surgeons remove them more precisely.
Changning, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06573671Enrolling by invitation
Histiocytosis in people who inject drugs
This trial looks at a condition called PVP-histiocytosis, which can happen in people who inject drugs made from tablets containing polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). The goal is to study these cases to better understand the condition.

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.
