About this study

Official title: Feasibility Study of the (Intravenously Injected) Indocyanine Green (ICG) Imaging of Tumoral Implants in Patients With Peritoneal Carcinomatosis From Colorectal Cancer

The purpose of this study is to determine if Near-Infrared fluorescence imaging is an effective approach to detect the colorectal tumoral tissues and peritoneal implants in colorectal cancer patients.

Read the detailed description

Primary objective

Evaluation of the ability of NIR imaging using ICG to demonstrate (the gross tumoral mass and/or) peritoneal metastatic " implants " in patients operated for peritoneal carcinomatosis from colorectal carcinoma

Secondary objective:

Definition of the histological distribution (in the vessels, in the extravascular spaces, in specific cells) of IV injected ICG in the normal and pathological tissues (and, if any is demonstrated per-operatively, a) in the nodes of these patients found fluorescent and removed and/or b) at the level of the fluorescent foci observed at the level of the hepatic surfaces)

Methodology:

The day before the operation:

ICG 0.125 mg/kg will be given as an iv injection the day before the operation.

In the operating room:

When the patient will be operated, the surgeons will (under "conventional" video control) search and establish as usual the presence (of "gross" tumoral mass and) of metastatic deposits at the level of the peritoneal surfaces. NIR imaging will be acquired during these manoeuvers and, if detected, fluorescent structures and/or foci will be anatomically defined by the surgeons.

If ("gross" tumoral mass and/or) metastatic deposits are seen fluorescent, the operation will be then continued as usual but each anatomical piece will be controlled "ex vivo" for its fluorescent character or not. All fluorescent foci on these anatomical pieces will be identified as such by a mark and/or by a "suture".

If ("gross" tumoral mass and/or) metastatic deposits are not seen fluorescent, ICG 0.125 mg/kg will be given as an iv injection and the vascularization, income of the ICG in the tumoral implants (judged by the surgeon the most representative of the patient's status) will be dynamically studied using the PDE camera during the 10 minutes following the IV injection.

If no hepatic metastases were pre-operatively documented, the surface of the liver will be controlled and, if superficial fluorescent foci are observed, these will be biopsied.

In the Laboratory of Pathology:

The tumoral tissues as well as -if identified- the "non identified as tumoral" fluorescent tissular foci will be processed as usual.

All the slides obtained will be analyzed using the near-infrared fluorescence microscope for the presence or the absence of (detectable) ICG and the different ICG-positive compartments (vascular spaces, interstitial spaces, normal and/or tumoral cells, macrophages,…) will be determined.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Indocyanine Green in people with Colorectal Cancer and Peritoneal Carcinomatosis, 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Oct 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?

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?

fluorescence intensity of tumoral and healthy tissues after IV injection of ICG to patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis from colorectal origin. (time frame: 1 week). 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 15 Oct 2014.
