Recruiting studies
- NCT06485609Recruiting
Dye-guided surgery for right colon cancer
This trial tests whether adding a special dye (indocyanine green) during surgery to remove right-sided colon cancer helps the surgeon see and remove more lymph nodes. The goal is to improve cancer removal without adding extra risks.
GuangzhouAges 18–75 - NCT07825597Recruiting
Using a special dye to see head and neck cancer during surgery
This trial tests a dye called indocyanine green (ICG) that makes cancer cells glow under a special camera during surgery. It may help doctors remove more cancer and leave healthy tissue alone.
St Louis, MissouriAges 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 - NCT06755554RecruitingPhase 3
Green dye to guide lymph node removal in stomach cancer surgery
This trial tests whether a special green dye (indocyanine green) injected during minimally invasive stomach cancer surgery helps doctors remove more lymph nodes, which may improve treatment. It is for people with stomach adenocarcinoma that has not spread to distant organs.
KyivAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT06198400Recruiting
Dye test for blood flow after pancreas surgery
This trial uses a special dye to check blood flow in the remaining part of your pancreas after surgery. It helps doctors see if the tissue is getting enough blood, which can improve healing and reduce complications.
Prague, Czech RepublicAges 18 years+ - NCT07613931RecruitingEarly Phase 1
New Compression Device for Leg Lymphedema Treatment
This study tests a newer version of a pneumatic compression device (a machine that gently squeezes your leg to reduce swelling) for lymphedema—persistent swelling in the lower leg or foot. Researchers want to see if the updated compression settings work better to reduce swelling and improve how your leg feels and functions.
Houston, TexasAges 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+ - NCT03953144RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
3D lung surgery planning with a dye to find tumors
This trial tests a new way to plan and guide lung cancer surgery using a special dye that shows the tumor area during the operation. It may help surgeons remove the cancer more accurately while targeting only a small section of lung for certain early-stage patients.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06039111Recruiting
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+ - NCT07400237Recruiting
New imaging for tough gallbladder removal
This study compares two advanced imaging methods—laparoscopic ultrasound and fluorescence cholangiography—to help surgeons see bile ducts more clearly during a difficult gallbladder removal. It aims to make the surgery safer for patients like you.
Sant Joan Despí, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04943484Recruiting
ICG camera dye test during surgery for advanced stomach cancer
This trial tests whether an “ICG” dye and special camera can help surgeons see cancer more clearly during surgery for advanced stomach cancer. It may help improve how safely and accurately surgeons remove the tumor and nearby lymph nodes.
Milan, ItaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT07380867Enrolling by invitation
New marker test for marking colon tumors before surgery
This trial tests a new marker that glows under special light to help doctors see exactly where a colon tumor is during surgery. It may help make the surgery more precise.
Seoul, SeoulAges 19–80 - NCT04752137RecruitingPhase 2
ICG dye imaging during surgery to check tumor edges
This trial tests whether a special dye (ICG) seen during your surgery can help doctors better identify the edges of a tumor in bone or soft tissue. It may help ensure as much of the tumor is removed as safely as possible.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 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 - 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+ - 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+ - NCT07441733Recruiting
Using a green dye to map lymph nodes in breast cancer surgery
This trial tests if an injection of indocyanine green dye can help surgeons find and remove only the key lymph nodes in the armpit during breast cancer surgery. It aims to reduce the need for more extensive lymph node removal.
Peschiera del Garda, VeronaAges 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 - NCT07064681Recruiting
AK104 plus TACE for resectable liver cancer
This trial tests whether adding an immunotherapy drug (AK104) to a standard liver cancer treatment (TACE) helps prevent the cancer from coming back after surgery. It is for people with early-stage liver cancer that can be surgically removed and who have a high risk of recurrence.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT03941756Recruiting
Lymph bypass before underarm node surgery to prevent swelling
This study looks at whether adding a lymph “bypass” procedure before underarm lymph node surgery can lower the chance of arm or chest swelling (lymphedema) after cancer treatment. It compares people having lymph node surgery for breast cancer with plans for radiation, and a melanoma comparison group.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05197530RecruitingPhase 1
