ICG micro-dosing study for children having surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are a child aged 18 or younger
- You are scheduled for elective (non-emergency) surgery where doctors need to check blood flow to your stomach, intestines, or urinary tract
- You do not have serious kidney or liver problems
- You do not have an active infection
- You do not have a bleeding disorder
- You do not have a complex heart defect you were born with
- You are not allergic to ICG or other iodine-based dyes

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares two dyes used during stomach or intestine surgery to see which helps surgeons see the blood flow better. It may help decide which dye works best for safe reconnections.
This trial studies whether a special IV dye (indocyanine green, or ICG) can help surgeons during an operation to fix a baby’s esophagus blockage with an abnormal connection to the windpipe. It may help improve how the repair is done, but eligibility depends on baby’s safety factors for using the dye.
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.
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.
This study tests using a special fluorescent dye (ICG) during surgery to help surgeons see and remove colon cancer more clearly. The dye highlights blood vessels and tissue, which may help ensure all cancer is removed safely.
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.
