NCT ID NCT05746104
First seen Jan 24, 2026 · Last updated May 25, 2026 · Updated 12 times
Summary
This study tests whether a dye called indocyanine green (ICG), given through a vein on the same day as surgery, can help surgeons see and remove brain tumors more accurately. About 105 adults with nervous system tumors will receive the dye, and special cameras will check if the tumor glows differently from healthy brain tissue. The goal is to improve tumor removal and reduce the chance of leftover cancer cells.
