Trial summary

This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of indocyanine green (ICG)-based fluorescence imaging in the detection of liver tumors. By correlating the ICG fluorescence patterns with pathologically confirmed tumors , it would be possible to use fluorescence navigation system in helping promoting oncology treatment.

What participants receive

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

  • Indocyanine-Green(ICG)Drug

    ICG was administered intravenously 24 hours before the operation , or directly into the portal vein branches supplying the tumor-bearing hepatic segment, after puncturing of the target segments under intraoperative ultrasonography guidance.

What is being measured

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

  1. The accuracy of detecting small liver tumor by ICG fluorescence.

    The tumor which aggregate ICG fluorescence will be resected and dignosed by pathology. The accuracy of detecting small liver tumor by ICG fluorescence will be evaluated.

    Measured: 3 Days

  2. The accuracy of positive margins of resection detected by ICG fluorescence.

    The surgery margins will be detected by ICG fluorescence. If there is fluorescence aggregating, we consider the presence of residual tumor in the margin and proven by histological examination.

    Measured: 3 Days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Indocyanine-Green(ICG) in people with Hepatocellular Carcinoma, run by Zhujiang Hospital 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 6 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Jan 2019. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Chihua Fang, MD; PHD (+8613609700805, fangch_dr@126.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The accuracy of detecting small liver tumor by ICG fluorescence. (time frame: 3 Days). The study lists 2 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 4 Jan 2019.
