ICG dose and storage for lymph node mapping in gynecologic cancer
This trial looks at how the dose and storage of a dye called indocyanine green (ICG) affects its ability to find sentinel lymph nodes during surgery for gynecologic cancers like cervical, endometrial, and vulvar cancer. The goal is to make the procedure both more effective and more affordable.
AdanaAges Any age - 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+ - NCT07315841RecruitingPhase 4

ShanghaiAges 18–75 - 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 - 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+ - 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+ - 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 - NCT06877793Recruiting
Using dye imaging to diagnose severe flesh-eating infections
This trial tests a new way to quickly diagnose necrotizing soft tissue infections (NSTIs, also called flesh-eating infections) using a safe dye and a camera. If you are being checked for a possible NSTI, this could help doctors decide faster whether you have it and need treatment.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06852248Recruiting
Green dye vs. ureter stent for endometriosis surgery
This trial compares two ways of protecting the ureter during deep endometriosis surgery: placing a small tube (stent) versus using a green dye (indocyanine green) to see the ureter. The goal is to see if the dye works just as well but causes less pain and fewer side effects afterward.
Stoke-on-Trent, StaffordshireAges 18–50 - NCT06327490RecruitingPhase 2
ICG-guided vs. traditional lymphatic drainage for breast cancer surgery
This trial compares a new imaging method (ICG) to the standard method for manual lymphatic drainage during breast cancer surgery. It aims to reduce swelling in the arm after lymph node removal.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18–99 - NCT05746104Enrolling by invitationPhase 1
Testing a glowing dye to find nervous system tumor tissue
This early (Phase 1) study tests whether a glowing dye called indocyanine green helps surgeons better see nervous system tumor tissue during an operation, with the goal of lowering the chance of tumor coming back locally. It’s for adults whose tumor is expected to be removable and at risk for local recurrence.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05645523RecruitingEarly Phase 1
ICG dye mapping to find lymph nodes in some childhood tumors
This early study tests using a special dye (indocyanine green, or ICG) to help surgeons find the correct “sentinel” lymph nodes during surgery in children with certain suspected tumors. If successful, it may improve how doctors remove and check lymph nodes while reducing the chance of missing important areas.
Chicago, IllinoisAges Up to 20 years - NCT07000539Recruiting
Green dye test in repeat weight loss surgery
This trial tests if a green dye, injected during repeat weight loss surgery, helps surgeons see blood flow better. It may reduce complications for people having a second bariatric procedure.
Tijuana, Estado de Baja CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06656949Recruiting
ICG injection for lymph node mapping in endometrial cancer
This trial tests whether injecting a dye called indocyanine green (ICG) in different spots can better find sentinel lymph nodes during surgery for endometrial cancer. It may help doctors remove fewer nodes and reduce side effects.

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.
