About this study

Official title: Phase 1 Study of NIR Fluorescence Guided Thoracic Surgery Using ICG

This study aims to first apply near-infrared fluorescence imaging technology in thoracic surgery with indocyanine green in China. To evaluate the feasibility usage of the investigators' fluorescence imaging systems and the safety applications in intraoperative sentinel lymph node mapping of lung and esophageal cancer, lung nodule imaging, lung segment resection boundary determination, esophagus - tubular anastomosis, thoracic duct imaging and chylothorax repairing thoracic surgery. Aim to achieve precise boundaries definition during thoracic surgery and realize accurate, minimally invasive thoracic surgery with fluorescence imaging technology.

Read the detailed description

Lung cancer is a major threat to human health. Diagnosis and treatment using precision medicine is expected to be an effective method for preventing the initiation and progression of cancer. Although anatomical and functional imaging techniques such as radiography, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) have played an important role for accurate preoperative diagnostics, for the most part these techniques cannot be applied intraoperatively. Optical molecular imaging is a promising technique that provides a high degree of sensitivity and specificity in tumor margin detection. Furthermore, existing clinical applications have proven that optical molecular imaging is a powerful intraoperative tool for guiding surgeons performing precision procedures, thus enabling radical resection and improved survival rates. However, detection depth limitation exists in optical molecular imaging methods and further breakthroughs from optical open surgery to minimally invasive intraoperative imaging methods are needed to develop more extensive and comprehensive intraoperative applications.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Indocyanine greenDrug

    Also called ICG

    This group of patients accepted intravenous injection from 0.5mg / kg to 5mg / kg ICG within 4 to 24 hours before surgery. All patients under general anesthesia to accept conventional thoracoscopy or thoracotomy. After entering the chest using fluorescence thoracoscopy system to collect the fluorescence and white-light images and record the video. After following the routine preoperative planning surgery, the researchers will carefully assess the possibility of the benign and malignant nodules and to communicate with the families of patients. If the patient's family expressed their willingness to dissect the nodules, the researchers will remove this extra pulmonary nodules. Resected specimens will send to routine pathological confirmation compared with the fluorescence results.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Indocyanine greenExperimentalThis group of patients under general anesthesia to accept conventional thoracoscopy or thoracotomy. Before systematic lymphadenectomy, four-point of ICG with 10mg was injected in normal lung tissue around the tumor. After 3-5 minutes, fluorescence and white-light images were collected and recorded in real-time. With the guidance of intraoperative images, all fluorescent lymph nodes were removed and sent to routine pathological confirmation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Indocyanine green in people with Lung Cancer and Esophageal Cancer, run by Chinese Academy of Sciences at 1 site in China.

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 5 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 8 Jun 2018. 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 China. 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?

Detection rates of lung nodes with fluorescence imaging (time frame: 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02611245, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 8 Jun 2018.
