About this study

Official title: Investigating Micro-dosing of Indocyanine Green (ICG) for Intraoperative Perfusion Assessment in Children.

The goal of this cohort study is to identify the lowest dose of Indocyanine Green (ICG) that achieves satisfactory intra-operative fluorescence for the assessment of gastrointestinal or genitourinary tract perfusion in children.

Read the detailed description

Indocyanine Green (ICG) fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS) can be used to assess gastrointestinal and genitourinary tract perfusion intra-operatively. In adults, the use of ICG has been shown to improve surgical outcomes. ICG is safely used intra-operatively in children, but there is a lack of evidence regarding the lowest clinically useful dose of ICG.

This is a single centre open-label dose escalation study that aims to:

  1. identify the minimal clinically useful dose of ICG for intra-operative perfusion assessment in children (0 - 18 years old)
  2. assess the safety profile of intra-operative ICG in children
  3. characterise the intra-operative fluorescence of ICG in children

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 Verdye by DiagnosticGreen

    Cohorts will receive 0.01 mg/kg, 0.02 mg/kg, 0.04mg/kg, 0.06 mg/kg, or 0.08 mg/kg intra-venous ICG at surgery. Patients will be consecutively allocated to different doses as per protocol.

Study groups in NCT06421103
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Micro-dosing Indocyanine Green (ICG)ExperimentalMultiple dose levels of intravenous Indocyanine Green (ICG) administered intra-operatively. Starting dose will be 10% of standard (for the study institution) and escalated as per protocol.
Receives: Drug: Indocyanine Green (ICG)

What is being measured

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

  1. Minimum clinically useful dose of ICG in children

    Identify the minimum dose of ICG at which intra-operative perfusion assessment is achieveable. Assessment will be based objectively on mean fluorescence intensity and the fluorescence-time curve, and subjectively by the operating surgeon.

    Measured: 60 minutes (intra-operative)

  2. Number of adverse drug events at each dose level

    An appreciably harmful or unpleasant reaction, resulting from an intervention related to the use of a medicinal product, which predicts hazard from future administration and warrants prevention or specific treatment, or alteration of the dosage regimen, or withdrawal of the product

    Measured: 30 days

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Surgical complications

    Intra-operative and early postoperative complications and mortality (defined as an event observed within 30 days after surgery). Frequency and details.

    Measured: 30 days

  2. Post-operative morbidity

    Further procedures, complications and mortality occuring within the 30 - 90 day time period (late post-operative complications). Frequency and details.

    Measured: 90 days

  3. Length of stay

    Time in hospital post-procedure

    Measured: 90 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Indocyanine Green (ICG) in people with Perfusion and Fluorescence Imaging, run by Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Foundation Trust at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 2 inclusion and 8 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 May 2024. 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 Kingdom. 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.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Stefano Giuliani (02074059200 ext. 0669, stefano.giuliani@gosh.nhs.uk), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Minimum clinically useful dose of ICG in children (time frame: 60 minutes (intra-operative)). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 May 2024.
