Glow-in-the-Dark dye could help surgeons remove lung cancer more completely
NCT ID NCT07276789
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a special dye called LS301-IT that makes lung cancer cells glow during surgery. About 35 adults with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer will receive the dye before their tumor-removal surgery. The goal is to see if the dye helps surgeons find and remove all cancer, including tiny spots that might otherwise be missed.
