Trial summary

This phase I trial studies how well indocyanine green lymphangiography works in identifying thoracic duct during neck surgery. Diagnostic procedures, such as near infrared fluorescence imaging with indocyanine green may help recognize and prevent injury to thoracic duct during neck surgery. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Novel Surgical Technique: Indocyanine Green Lymphangiography for Identification of the Thoracic Duct During Neck Dissection

This phase I trial studies how well indocyanine green lymphangiography works in identifying thoracic duct during neck surgery. Diagnostic procedures, such as near infrared fluorescence imaging with indocyanine green may help recognize and prevent injury to thoracic duct during neck surgery.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Feasibility and optimization of thoracic duct identification using indocyanine green (ICG) lymphangiography.

II. To explore specifically how identifying the thoracic duct (TD) will prevent injury intra-operatively.

III. To understand if a TD injury can be recognized by leakage of fluorescent chyle into the operating field.

OUTLINE:

Participants receive indocyanine green solution subcutaneously (SC) and undergo near-infrared imaging over 1-2 minutes during their standard of care neck surgery.

After completion of study treatment, participants are followed up for up to 1 year.

Being tested
Indocyanine Green Solution, Lymphangiography

What is being measured

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

  1. Identify thoracic duct (TD) using indocyanine green (ICG)

    We will determine in how many patients the thoracic duct is identified by white light visualization and by ICG fluorescence. The collected data will be primarily qualitative as determined by the surgeon.

    Measured: Up to 1 year

  2. Prevent injury to the TD

    Percentage of patients with TD injury will be calculated and compared to contemporary rates of injury.

    Measured: Up to 1 year

  3. Recognize injury intra-operatively

    Will be mostly qualitative data collection on how the injury was identified and in what percent.

    Measured: Up to 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Indocyanine Green Solution and Lymphangiography in people with Neck Dissection and Radical Lymph Node Dissection, run by Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center 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 3 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 16 Jan 2024. 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?

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?

Identify thoracic duct (TD) using indocyanine green (ICG) (time frame: Up to 1 year). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 16 Jan 2024.
