What participants receive

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

  • Fluorescein SodiumDrug

    Also called AK-Fluor®

    Intravenous administration 1 mg/kg initial dosing if insufficient additional doses of 1 mg/kg may be administered.

  • YELLOW560 filterDevice

    Also called YELLOW 560 nm microscope filter (YE560)

    Integrated fluorescence module serves to make fluorescent areas visible to assist in visualizing tumor during the resection.

Study groups in NCT04351373
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Fluorescein sodium (FS) and YELLOW 560 nm microscope filter (YE560) during surgeryExperimentalSubjects undergoing clinically planned vestibular schwannoma, Meningioma, Head and Neck Paraganglioma, or Head and Neck Schwannoma, removal surgery will have contrast agent fluorescein sodium administered intravenously after tumor exposure, and a special filter called YELLOW560 will be used on the operating microscope to see the fluorescent coloring of the contrast.
Receives: Drug: Fluorescein Sodium; Device: YELLOW560 filter

What is being measured

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

  1. Surgeon Predicted Use of Fluorescein Sodium in Future Cases

    Physician response to surgeon survey question, "Based on the use and performance of FS in this case alone, how likely are you to use FS in future cases (excluding the research trial) involving this tumor?" using a Likert-style rating from 0-4 where 0=Unsure; 1= Plan to not use in any cases; 2= Plan to use in select cases; 3=Plan to use in the majority of cases; 4=Plan to use in all cases.

    Measured: Approximately 3 months postoperatively

  2. Correlation of Fluorescein Sodium With Surgeons' Visual Assessment

    Fluorescence correlate with surgeons' visual assessment of the tumor and nerve tissue under normal microscopy without the Yellow 560 filter using a Likert-style rating from 1-4 where 1=No correlation; 2=Some correlation; 3=Good correlation; 4=Excellent correlation.

    Measured: Intraoperatively, approximately 1 day

  3. Correlation of Fluorescein Sodium With Electrostimulation

    Surgeons' assessment of fluorescence correlate with electrostimulation (e.g. tissues with high fluorescence do not stimulate, whereas nerve tissues with low fluorescence do stimulate)" using a Likert-style rating from 1-4 where 1=No correlation; 2=Some correlation; 3=Good correlation; 4=Excellent correlation.

    Measured: Intraoperatively, approximately 1 day

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Time to Differential Visualization

    The amount of time in minutes for differential visualization of the tumor and surrounding tissue after sodium fluorescein administration during surgery

    Measured: Intraoperatively, approximately 1 day

  2. Average Dose of Sodium Fluorescein Administration

    Average dose of sodium fluorescein administered during surgery to achieve differential fluorescence of the tumor and tissue reported in mg/kg

    Measured: Intraoperatively, approximately 1 day

  3. Total Resection Rate

    Number of subjects to have a gross total resection

    Measured: Intraoperatively, approximately 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Fluorescein Sodium and YELLOW560 filter in people with Vestibular Schwannoma, run by Mayo Clinic 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 3 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 1 Aug 2023. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 1 Aug 2023). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Surgeon Predicted Use of Fluorescein Sodium in Future Cases (time frame: Approximately 3 months postoperatively). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT04351373, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 1 Aug 2023.
