About this study

Official title: Near-infrared Fluorescence Imaging During Neck Dissection in Head and Neck Cancer Patients After Intravenous Injection of Indocyanine Green (a Feasibility Study)

The purpose of this study is to determine if NIR fluorescent imaging is an effective approach to detect the margins of head and neck tumours or lymph nodes draining the tumour

Read the detailed description

Primary objective:

definition of the distribution of intravenously injected ICG in the normal and pathological lymph nodes draining the dissected tumor in head and neck cancer patients or in nodes recurrences in head and neck cancer

Secondary objectives:

  • Evaluation of the ability of NIR fluorescence imaging to determine the tumoral volume, specifically the margins of the tumoral tissues (in the operating room and in the pathology department)
  • Analysis of the correlation between ICG fluorescence and tumoral invasion in the dissected lymph nodes

Indocyanine GreenExperimentalIntravenous injection of 0,25 mg/kg Indocyanine Green
Receives: Drug: Indocyanine Green

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluation of the capacity of ICG to detect cervical lymph nodes after IV injection

    After IV injection of Indocyanine Green just before the surgery to head and neck cancer patients, we will study the fluorescence due to ICG in cervical lymph nodes and in the primary lesion.

    Measured: 7 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Indocyanine Green in people with Head and Neck Cancer, run by Jules Bordet Institute at 1 site in Belgium.

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Jul 2014. 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 Belgium. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Evaluation of the capacity of ICG to detect cervical lymph nodes after IV injection (time frame: 7 months). 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 24 Jul 2014.
