Glowing dye to guide removal of bone and soft tissue tumors
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Cancer clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are healthy enough to have surgery, based on your doctor's checkup.
- You do not have severe or ongoing problems with your kidneys, liver, or lungs.

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 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 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.
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 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.
