Can a dye help prevent a pancreas leak after Whipple surgery?
This trial tests if using a special dye during surgery can reduce the risk of a pancreatic fistula (a leak from the pancreas) after a Whipple procedure. The dye helps the surgeon see blood flow to the remaining pancreas, which may improve healing.
Girona, GironaAges 18 years+ - NCT07108855RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Green dye to guide early cancer removal
This trial tests whether a special dye (indocyanine green) given through a vein can help doctors see the exact edges and depth of early-stage esophageal or stomach cancer during a minimally invasive procedure to remove it. If you are scheduled for this procedure, the dye may help the surgeon remove the cancer more precisely.
Groningen, Provincie GroningenAges 18 years+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - NCT06608082Recruiting
Green dye study after keyhole hysterectomy
This trial looks at blood flow in the vaginal area after a type of hysterectomy (keyhole removal of the uterus). Doctors will inject a safe green dye (indocyanine green) during surgery to see how well the area heals.
Clermont-FerrandAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT04084067RecruitingPhase 1
ICG dye helps surgeons remove tumors
This early-phase study tests whether a special dye can help doctors see a tumor more clearly during surgery in children and young people. If you have a solid tumor or certain lymphomas that need removal, the dye may help guide the surgeon to the right tissue.
Memphis, TennesseeAges Any age - 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 - NCT07513038RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Using dye imaging to diagnose bile duct blockage in infants
This trial tests whether a special fluorescent dye called indocyanine green (ICG) can help doctors better diagnose biliary atresia—a rare condition where a baby's bile ducts don't form properly. The dye is used during an imaging scan to light up the bile system so doctors can see it more clearly.
Boston, MassachusettsAges birth–3 months - NCT06378944Recruiting
Gentle lymph node check for breast cancer
This trial tests a way to check lymph nodes in the armpit using a special green dye. It is for people with breast cancer who need to know if their cancer has spread to these nodes.
Cerdanyola del Vallès, BarcelonaAges 18–120 - 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+ - NCT06421103Recruiting
ICG micro-dosing study for children having surgery
This study tests a tiny amount of a dye called Indocyanine Green (ICG) during surgery to see if it safely shows blood flow to the gut and urinary organs. It may help doctors check that these organs are getting enough blood during the operation.
LondonAges Up to 18 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+ - NCT06768268Enrolling by invitationPhase 1/Phase 2
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 - 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 - NCT04842162RecruitingPhase 2
Near-infrared dye imaging to help remove all mouth/throat cancer
This Phase 2 study tests a special camera and dye during surgery to help surgeons confirm they removed all cancer at the edge of the removed tissue. If it works, it may lower the chance of cancer being left behind after oral cavity or oropharynx squamous cell cancer surgery.
AnderlechtAges 18 years+ - 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 - 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 - NCT05618821RecruitingPhase 2
Indocyanine green dye during stomach surgery for leftover cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether using a special light-activated dye (indocyanine green) during laparoscopic stomach surgery can improve surgical outcomes for people with remnant (leftover) stomach cancer that has not spread to distant organs. It may help surgeons better find lymph nodes while operating.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–75 - 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 - NCT05168839RecruitingPhase 3
Using dye scans during surgery to help prevent leakage
This trial tests whether using a special dye and camera during colorectal cancer surgery can help lower the risk of a surgical “leak” where the bowel is joined. If you’re having a planned left-sided colectomy or high rectal resection, the scan may help surgeons see blood flow more clearly.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT07380698Recruiting
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.
