TumorGlow dye to see sarcoma in lungs during pediatric surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This pilot study tests a special dye called TumorGlow (ICG) that helps surgeons see tiny tumor pieces in the lung during surgery for children and teens with sarcoma that has spread. The goal is to make sure all cancer is removed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 12 and 17 years old.
- You have a solid tumor that has spread to your lungs and you are going to have surgery to remove it.
- You are not allergic to the dye called ICG (indocyanine green).
- If you are female and could become pregnant, you are not pregnant and agree to use birth control for 30 days after the dye is given. If you are male and sexually active, you agree to use birth control for 30 days after the dye is given.
- You do not have severe liver problems, uncontrolled high blood pressure, or a known sensitivity to bright light.

This trial tests a special dye and imaging technique to help surgeons see and remove sarcoma tumors more completely. The goal is to reduce the chance that cancer cells are accidentally left behind during surgery.
This trial tests a special dye that helps surgeons see the edges of sarcoma tumors during surgery. It may help them remove all the cancer while saving healthy tissue.
This trial tests a single dose of a special dye (LS301-IT) that helps surgeons see lung cancer cells more clearly during surgery. It aims to make lung cancer removal more precise and complete.
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 Phase 2 study tests whether using a fluorescent dye during tumor surgery can help the surgical team better see where the tumor ends. It may help aim for complete removal and lower the chance of the tumor coming back.
This trial tests if taking a drug called 5-ALA before surgery makes sarcoma tumors glow, helping surgeons remove all cancer cells. It's for people with certain types of soft tissue sarcoma that are more aggressive (grades 2 or 3) and are scheduled for surgery.
