About this study

Official title: Proposal for Intraoperative Administration of Intravenous Indocyanine Green to Evaluate Sphenopalatine Artery Location and Patency in Harvesting and Positioning a Pedicled Nasoseptal Mucosal Flap in Endoscopic Endonasal Cranial Base Surgery

This is a feasibility study in which indocyanine green (ICG) will be administered during routine expanded endonasal approach (EEA) for cranial base pathologies in which a nasoseptal flap harvest will be necessary. The research entails administering ICG, which is already widely used during open neurosurgical procedures, to identify the blood supply at two distinct stages of endonasal cranial base surgery: during nasoseptal flap harvest and after final positioning of the nasoseptal flap to ensure its viability before ending the case.

Read the detailed description

This study is being done to determine if it is feasible to use angiography during endo-nasal surgery. During the angiography indocyanine green (ICG) will be injected into the patients IV tubing to help see the arteries. ICG is routinely used in vascular surgeries on the brain but not for endo-nasal surgery. The purpose of this study is to see how well intraoperative angiography using ICG can be done during endonasal surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants for Which Angiograghy is Used to Visualize Nasoseptal Mucosa Better Than What is Done Standard of Care in This Surgery.

    The researcher will administer ICG, which is already widely used during open neurosurgical procedures, to identify the blood supply at two distinct stages of endonasal cranial base surgery: during nasoseptal flap harvest and after final positioning of the nasoseptal flap to ensure its viability before ending the case. This study will determine feasibility of other larger clinical trials using this method.

    Measured: During surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing indocyanine green in people with Skull Base Neoplasms, run by Ohio State University 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 2 inclusion and 4 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 17 Apr 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 17 Apr 2017). 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?

Number of Participants for Which Angiograghy is Used to Visualize Nasoseptal Mucosa Better Than What is Done Standard of Care in This Surgery. (time frame: During 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 17 Apr 2017.
