Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patients with a computed tomography (CT) scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) on preoperative assessment showing evidence of a renal cortical tumor; the renal tumor must be stage T1a/bT2
  • Due to concerns of surgical and anesthetic effects on the fetus, women of child bearing age who are considered to still be fertile must undergo a urine pregnancy test prior to inclusion in the study; only women with negative urine pregnancy tests prior to surgery will be included; if a women is found to have a positive urine pregnancy test, surgery and potential inclusion in the study will be deferred until after delivery of the baby; should a woman become pregnant or suspect that she is pregnant prior to surgical management, she should inform her treating physician immediately; although it is known that ICG is released from the body through the hepatic system, breastfeeding mothers will be excluded from the study due to the unknown side effects on the infant in the breastfeeding population
  • The subject must be able to comply with the study procedures
  • All subjects must have the ability to understand the risks, benefits, and alternatives of the study and the willingness to sign a written informed consent

Who cannot join

  • Subject has significant liver disease, cirrhosis or liver insufficiency with abnormal liver function tests, as total bilirubin greater than 1.5 X normal and/or serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) greater than 2 X normal

About this study

Official title: A Prospective Investigation of the Use of the Fluorescence Imaging on the da Vinci Surgical System for Intraoperative Near Infrared Imaging of Renal Cortical Tumors

RATIONALE: Using fluorescence imaging may determine the extent of kidney tumors and help in planning surgery.

PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the best way to give indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging in finding tumors in patients with kidney tumors

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine the optimal dose of ICG fluorescence for visualization using the SPY scope with near infrared (NIR) imaging technology on the da Vinci Surgical System to detect renal cortical tumors and to assist in their removal.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To observe and report peri-operative outcomes, including but not limited to the following observations: positive surgical margin rate, correlation of the ICG and NIR imaging technology with intraoperative ultrasound imaging and preoperative imaging, incidence of adverse events, estimated blood loss, blood transfusion rate, length of stay, time of operation, utility of ICG and NIR imaging technology to assist in localization of renal hilar structures, utility of ICG and NIR imaging technology to assist in localization of the renal mass, warm renal ischemia time measurements, the feasibility of selective renal arterial clamping with the ICG and NIR imaging technology, cost analysis retrospective comparisons to patients who underwent similar surgical procedures without the use of ICG and NIR imaging technology, the overall effect of ICG and NIR imaging technology on postoperative renal function, and determination of possible future technique variations using the ICG and NIR imaging technology to improve nephron sparing surgery.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study. Patients undergo NIR fluorescence imaging with ICG on the da Vinci Surgical System followed by standard approach robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 1-2 weeks.

Being tested
fluorescence imaging, laparoscopic surgery, indocyanine green

What is being measured

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

  1. Determination of the optimal dose of ICG which will maximize its utility in the detection of renal cortical tumors by NIR imaging technology on the da Vinci Surgical System

    Compared between patients prospectively accrued to the study who had fluorescence imaging and those in the retrospective cohort whose procedures were not assisted with fluorescence imaging.

    Measured: 2 weeks post surgery

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Positive margin from pathology

    Compared between patients prospectively accrued to the study who had fluorescence imaging and those in the retrospective cohort whose procedures were not assisted with fluorescence imaging.

    Measured: 2 weeks post-surgery

  2. Total surgical time

    Compared between patients prospectively accrued to the study who had fluorescence imaging and those in the retrospective cohort whose procedures were not assisted with fluorescence imaging.

    Measured: At surgery

  3. Warm ischemia time

    Compared between patients prospectively accrued to the study who had fluorescence imaging and those in the retrospective cohort whose procedures were not assisted with fluorescence imaging.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing fluorescence imaging, laparoscopic surgery and indocyanine green in people with Recurrent Renal Cell Cancer and Stage I Renal Cell Cancer, run by City of Hope Medical Center 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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Oct 2017. 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?

Determination of the optimal dose of ICG which will maximize its utility in the detection of renal cortical tumors by NIR imaging technology on the da Vinci Surgical System (time frame: 2 weeks post surgery). 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 13 Oct 2017.
