Indocyanine Green for Imaging of Solid Tumors during Surgery Compared to Standard of Care

Trial Status: active

This phase I/II trial tests the safety, side effects, best dose, and effectiveness of a contrast agent called indocyanine green for imaging of solid tumors during surgery compared to standard of care. Indocyanine green is a unique dye that is not radioactive, can be seen with a simple camera that does not require radiation, and is designed to go to tumor cells upon administration. This study may help researchers determine if an injection of indocyanine green imaged during surgery using an imaging system can be a useful tool to identify tumor from normal tissue.
