Cytalux dose study for lung or ovarian cancer patients having surgery
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism, Lungs & breathing, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a dye called Cytalux (pafolacianine) to help surgeons see cancer during lung or ovarian cancer surgery. If you are scheduled for surgery to remove lung cancer or to debulk ovarian cancer, you may be eligible.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have lung cancer (or a strong suspicion) based on recent scans, or you have ovarian cancer
- You are scheduled for lung surgery (keyhole or open) or ovarian cancer debulking surgery
- You are not allergic to indocyanine green, Cytalux, or any of its ingredients
- Your kidney and liver function are within safe limits (tests will be done to check)

This trial tests a dye called Cytalux that helps surgeons see cancer during surgery. You get the dye before surgery, and it makes cancer cells glow under a special light. This could help doctors remove more cancer.
This trial tests a drug called pafolacianine (CYTALUX) that makes cancer cells glow during surgery. It may help doctors see and remove more cancer from the stomach, esophagus, or appendix. You take the drug before surgery, and a special camera shows the glowing cancer.
This trial tests a dye (CYTALUX) that helps surgeons see endometrial cancer during surgery. You may be eligible if you have endometrial cancer and are scheduled for surgery.
This study tests whether a dye called Cytalux, injected before lung surgery, can help surgeons see and remove cancer spots in children and teens with certain cancers. It may help make sure all visible cancer is removed during the operation.
This study tests a special dye, called pafolacianine, that is injected before surgery to help surgeons see hidden cancer spots in the belly during the operation. The goal is to see if using this dye improves how completely the cancer is removed in people with gastrointestinal cancer that has spread to the belly lining.
This study tests a special imaging drug called pafolacianine (Cytalux) that helps doctors see tumors more clearly during surgery. It is for children and teens who have a solid tumor in the body and are already scheduled for tumor removal or biopsy.
