Recruiting studies
- NCT05344274RecruitingPhase 4
Eye blood flow study in people with glaucoma
This study measures how blood flows in the retina and how well the eye regulates that flow. It compares people with early or very early glaucoma to people without glaucoma to see what differences may predict progression.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–88 - NCT05910931Recruiting

Comparing two dyes for lymph node mapping in vulvar cancer
This study compares two methods for finding the first lymph node (sentinel node) that may contain cancer in people with vulvar cancer. It uses a dye called indocyanine green alone or with a radioactive tracer (technetium) to see which approach works better for staging the disease.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06085274Recruiting
SHINE: Using a special dye to find lymph nodes after breast cancer chemo
This study tests whether a special dye called indocyanine green (ICG) can help find sentinel lymph nodes during breast cancer surgery after chemotherapy. It may offer a safer and more effective way to check if cancer has spread.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–80 - NCT06161207RecruitingPhase 3
Laparoscopic surgery for stomach cancer using 3D and dye
This trial tests a new way to remove stomach cancer using 3D-4K cameras and a special dye during laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery. It may help surgeons see the cancer better and remove it more precisely.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–75 - NCT06227338Recruiting
Testing a dye to see breast cancer during surgery
This trial uses a special dye called ICG that makes cancer glow under a special camera during breast cancer surgery. Doctors want to find the best time to give the dye so they can see the cancer clearly and remove all of it in one operation.
BrusselsAges 18 years+ - NCT06302985Recruiting
Inhaled dye for lung malformations in children
This trial tests a new way to use a dye called ICG (indocyanine green) that is inhaled like a mist. It may help doctors see and treat congenital lung malformations in children more clearly.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 3 months–14 years - NCT06325618Recruiting
Studying lymphedema and blood vessels in Turner syndrome
This study looks at swelling (lymphedema), inflammation, and blood vessels in women with Turner syndrome. It uses MRI scans to understand these issues better.
Aarhus NAges 18–100 - NCT06398028RecruitingPhase 4
ICG dye before minimally invasive liver surgery
This study tests whether giving a special dye (ICG) before minimally invasive liver surgery helps surgeons see tumors more clearly compared to using ultrasound alone. It’s for people who are already scheduled for keyhole liver surgery.
BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06084013Recruiting
Using a green dye to check blood flow during pancreas surgery
This trial tests a green dye called indocyanine green (ICG) that is injected during pancreas surgery to see how well blood flows to the remaining tissue. The goal is to learn if this dye can help predict complications, such as leaks from the pancreas, after surgery.
Portland, OregonAges 18 years+ - NCT06500728Recruiting
Vision involvement in giant cell arteritis
This study looks at how vision is affected in people with giant cell arteritis (GCA) -- a condition where blood vessels become inflamed. It compares those with GCA-related vision loss to people who have similar vision problems but not from GCA, to better understand and treat these eye issues.
Milan, LombardyAges 18 years+ - NCT06647901RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
ICG dye imaging for giant cell tumor surgery
This trial uses a special dye (ICG) and a camera to help surgeons see the tumor better during surgery for giant cell tumors of bone in the arms or legs. The goal is to remove all of the tumor while saving as much healthy bone as possible.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–65 - NCT06652672Recruiting
Sentinel Node and Organ-Sparing Surgery for Early Colon Cancer
This trial tests a less invasive surgery approach for early-stage colon cancer. It uses a special dye to find and remove only the first lymph node (sentinel node) while removing just the part of the colon with the tumor, possibly avoiding a bigger surgery.
AmersfoortAges 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.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–80 - NCT07149207RecruitingPhase 2
Using a dye during head and neck cancer surgery
This study tests whether a special dye (ICG) injected before surgery can help surgeons see head and neck cancer more clearly during the operation. It is for people with squamous cell carcinoma who are at risk of their cancer returning and are scheduled for surgery.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06780748RecruitingPhase 2
Light-guided re-surgery for recurrent breast cancer
This trial uses a special light and dye to help surgeons find and remove lymph nodes that might contain cancer cells, in women whose breast cancer has come back in the same area after previous surgery.
Goyang-siAges 18 years+ - NCT06831149RecruitingPhase 2
Spy imaging to reduce fistulas after throat reconstruction
This study is testing a special imaging tool (SPY system) that helps surgeons see blood flow better during surgery to rebuild the throat. The goal is to reduce the risk of fluid leaks (fistulas) after the operation.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06840418Recruiting
New imaging to find cancer spread in cervical cancer surgery
This study tests a new imaging technique (NIRFI with ICG dye) to help surgeons see if cervical cancer has spread to lymph nodes during your hysterectomy surgery. It may help guide more precise removal of affected nodes.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06945718Recruiting
Green dye test for gastric cancer surgery
This trial tests whether a green dye called indocyanine green can help surgeons find and remove more lymph nodes during laparoscopic surgery for advanced stomach cancer. It may improve the chances of removing all cancer.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–75 - NCT07054944Recruiting
Lymph node mapping for children with solid tumors
This study is testing a new way to map lymph nodes in children with solid tumors. It helps doctors understand how tumors spread to lymph nodes, which may guide treatment.
Rochester, New YorkAges 1 month–17 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 - NCT07677839Recruiting
Study using ultrasound to look at normal lymph nodes before breast surgery
This study uses a special type of ultrasound (UHFUS) to take detailed images of your lymph nodes before and during breast cancer surgery. The goal is to better understand normal lymph node anatomy, which may help prevent lymphedema (swelling) after surgery.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT01485575Recruiting
Blue or green dye eye surgery to help remove retinal tissue
This trial studies an eye surgery technique that uses a colored dye (blue or green) to help the surgeon carefully remove a thin inner retinal layer. It may help make the procedure more precise and safer, and the study compares how the dye-assisted method works.
LinzAges 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.
