Glowing nerves could help surgeons avoid Life-Altering side effects

NCT ID NCT04983862

Summary

This first-in-human study tested the safety of a new dye called Illuminare-1, which is designed to glow and highlight nerve structures during prostate cancer surgery. The goal is to help surgeons see and avoid damaging important nerves, which can lead to side effects like incontinence and erectile dysfunction. Researchers tested increasing doses in 41 patients to find the safest amount that makes nerves visible.
