About this study
This study focuses on implementing Yellow 560 for the direct intraoperative visualization of Fluorescein Sodium stained intracranial lesions to facilitate extend of surgery, develop better treatment protocols, and improve the prognosis of a wide array of neurosurgical diseases. More specifically, for the patients who are undergoing surgical intervention for the treatment of their brain aneurysm, tumor, arteriovenous malformation or fistula, the investigators will inject the dye intraoperatively to assess for residual aneurysm, tumor or in general residual lesion which must be corrected.
Read the detailed description
The research design is a prospective clinical study. All patients enrolled in the study will prepare for surgery as per standard neurosurgical indications, procedures and institution protocols. At the time of the anesthesia induction, with the patient under general anesthesia, Fluorescein Sodium 10% (100mg/1mL) at a dose of 500mg (100mg/ml) will be administered intravenously (the optimal dosage will be determined within the study as the most minimal dose for adequate visualization will be used). Surgery will continue with the aid of the Yellow 560 microscope with a minimum delay of 10 minutes after injection to reduce the amount of leakage of Fluorescein Sodium into the surrounding tissue.
Conventional microsurgical and biopsy procedures and techniques including histopathology and intraoperative imaging will be performed through the completion of the surgery. The surgeon will resect and remove what he believes is the tumor based on previously known criteria (standards of care) regardless of what the Fluorescein angiography demonstrates. For vascular lesions, fluorescein sodium 10% (100mg/1mL) will be injected and used to assess its application after the conventional methods have confirmed the exclusion of the aneurysm. No patient's care will be affected by the results of the Fluorescein angiography.
No other additional neurosurgical instruments will be used. Patients will be treated post-operatively with conventional adjunctive therapies and imaging as deemed necessary by the attending neurosurgeon for the evaluation of extent of surgery. Follow-up data (including post-operative images assessing outcomes and complications) will be collected on all patients on standard post-operative visits. Intra-operative films or recordings and all patient data may be saved and used according to HIPAA allowances.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Incidence of Intracerebral lesion
The main outcome measure of the study would be a comparison between patient pre-operative and post-operative images to evaluate the potential utility of using Fluorescein Sodium and the Yellow 560 microscope to aid in the treatment of intracranial tumors and vascular lesions.
Measured: Particpants will be followed from enrollment into study which include atleast to 2 images and any other image done up to 1 year of scheudled follow up.

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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Cherlynn Basignani, BSN,RN,CCRC (407-303-3247, cherlynn.basignani@flhosp.org), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Incidence of Intracerebral lesion (time frame: Particpants will be followed from enrollment into study which include atleast to 2 images and any other image done up to 1 year of scheudled follow up.). 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 NCT02478346, which also lists 3 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 14 Feb 2017; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
