NCT ID NCT06235125

First seen Jun 05, 2026 · Last updated Jun 05, 2026

Summary

This study tests a special dye called Cytalux that makes cancer cells glow under near-infrared light. Surgeons use it during lung surgery to find and remove hard-to-see tumors in teens (ages 6-17) with bone cancer that has spread to the lungs. The goal is to see if the dye helps find more tumors than standard methods.
