Imaging tool to help surgeons spot brain tumors during surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests a special imaging tool that helps surgeons see brain tumors more clearly during surgery, so they can remove as much tumor as possible while protecting healthy tissue. It is designed for people already having surgery to remove a brain tumor.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You must be scheduled for brain surgery to remove a tumor.
- This must be your first brain surgery (not a repeat one).
- You must not have an active bacterial or viral infection.
- You must not be allergic to indocyanine green (a dye) or iodine.
- You must not be taking certain medications like choleretics or rifampicin.

This trial tests a new imaging tool that helps surgeons look at brain tissue during your operation, so they can make faster and more accurate diagnoses. It may help guide the surgery to remove as much tumor as possible while preserving healthy brain.
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.
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.
This early-stage study tests an intraoperative imaging approach called “TumorGlow” to help surgeons better identify tumor tissue during surgery. It may help improve the completeness of tumor removal and reduce the chance of recurrence in certain patients.
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.
This study uses a special dye that makes tumors glow during surgery, helping your surgeon see exactly what to remove and what to leave. It aims to make surgery more precise and safer for people with bone or soft tissue tumors.
