Blue dye could help surgeons spot blocked ureters during operations
NCT ID NCT06085183
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a blue dye called Bludigo to help surgeons see if the tubes from the kidneys to the bladder (ureters) are open during surgery. About 48 adults with different levels of kidney function will receive either the dye or a saltwater placebo. The goal is to see if the dye makes the urine flow easier to see, especially in patients with kidney problems.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Indigotindisulfonate sodium (Bludigo)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could give surgeons a reliable way to check if the ureters are open during surgery, even in patients with kidney problems.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase study with only 48 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The dye may not work as well in people with severe kidney impairment.
