About this study

Official title: A Pilot/Feasibility Study of Intraoperative Image-Guided Surgery of CNS Tumors With Indocyanine Green and MR Spectroscopic Imaging

This study is a single center, open-label, two-part study to assess image guided surgery of intramolecular imaging in nervous system tumors. Subjects with a diagnosis of a resectable nervous system tumor who are at risk of recurrence are included. The primary goal is to observe what tissues fluoresce in the OR, and then to identify if that tissue is cancerous/tumor or normal when the histopathology is performed.

Being tested
Indocyanine Green (ICG), Intraoperative near-infrared (NIR)

What participants receive

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

  • Indocyanine Green (ICG)Drug

  • Intraoperative near-infrared (NIR)Radiation

Study groups in NCT02710240
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
ICG ArmExperimentalSubjects undergo indocyanine green injection within 72 hours prior to surgery. Permitting infusion time within 72 hours of operation is believed to be adequate for tissue glow/surgical visualization. Alternately, patients may receive 25 mg of indocyanine green during induction. Dose and time of administration will be determined by the neurosurgeon during surgical planning. This 25 mg dose of indocyanine green is similar to dosing for other intraoperative vascular visualization.
Receives: Drug: Indocyanine Green (ICG); Radiation: Intraoperative near-infrared (NIR)

What is being measured

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

  1. Sensitivity (SBR)

    sensitivity of delayed, high dose indocyanine green (second window ICG), as measured by the signal-to-background ratio (SBR)

    Measured: 72 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Indocyanine Green (ICG) and Intraoperative near-infrared (NIR) in people with Suspected Central Nervous System Tumors, run by Abramson Cancer Center at Penn Medicine 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 1 inclusion and 1 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 27 Oct 2021. 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 combined 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.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 27 Oct 2021). 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?

Sensitivity (SBR) (time frame: 72 hours). 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 NCT02710240, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 27 Oct 2021.
