Could a tiny dye dose prevent bile duct injuries during gallbladder removal?
NCT ID NCT07195331
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial compares two doses of a dye called indocyanine green (ICG) given before laparoscopic gallbladder removal. The dye helps surgeons see the bile ducts clearly, which may reduce the risk of accidental injury. One group gets the standard dose hours before surgery; the other gets a much lower dose just 15–30 minutes before. The study will enroll 122 adults in Spain to see if the lower dose works just as well.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
indocyanine green (ICG)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could make a safer, more convenient dye-dosing routine standard for gallbladder surgery, potentially reducing bile duct injuries.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial (122 participants) comparing two doses; it may not show a clear difference, and results may not apply to all patients or surgical settings.
