Trial summary

According to the World Health Organization, cancer is a leading cause of death in men and women, accounting for 7.6 million deaths (around 13% of all deaths) in 2008. Surgery remains the best option for patients presenting with operable Stage I or II cancers, however the five year survival rate for these candidates… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Pilot and Feasibility Study of Intraoperative Imagery of Solid Tumors With Indocyanine Green

According to the World Health Organization, cancer is a leading cause of death in men and women, accounting for 7.6 million deaths (around 13% of all deaths) in 2008. Surgery remains the best option for patients presenting with operable Stage I or II cancers, however the five year survival rate for these candidates remains at a dismally low. The high rates of recurrence suggest that surgeons are unable to completely detect and remove primary tumor nodules in a satisfactory manner as well as lingering metastases in sentinel lymph nodes. By ensuring a negative margin through near-infrared imagery it would be possible for us to improve the rates of recurrence from patients and thus overall survival.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Indocyanine Green (ICG)Drug

    Also called ICG

Study groups in NCT02280954
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
ICG injection groupExperimentalThis group will receive a single dose of ICG, infused over 40 minutes. During surgery, they will be imaged with a camera and an imaging probe the investigators have developed.
Receives: Drug: Indocyanine Green (ICG)

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The ability of the imaging system to detect the expression of the ICG in the nodule/mass (i.e tumor) and discern the uptake of the dye by the tumor.

    Measured: Before surgery

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The number of participants that will have an adverse reaction to the ICG.

    Measured: Day 1-Day 30

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Indocyanine Green (ICG) in people with Solid Tumor and Neoplasms, run by University of Pennsylvania at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Mar 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The ability of the imaging system to detect the expression of the ICG in the nodule/mass (i.e tumor) and discern the uptake of the dye by the tumor. (time frame: Before surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02280954, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 20 Mar 2018.
