What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.

Summary

This study tests whether a green dye called indocyanine green (ICG) can help surgeons find sentinel lymph nodes—the first nodes where cancer might spread—in children with solid tumors. Ten children under 18 will get the dye injected during surgery, and doctors will check if it lights up the right nodes. The goal is to see if this method is safe and works well, which could lead to more precise surgery and fewer side effects.

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) dye
What this could lead to
If successful, this technique could make lymph node removal more precise and less invasive for children with solid tumors, potentially reducing side effects.
What could go wrong
This is a very small early study with only 10 children, so results may not apply to everyone. The dye may not always reach the right nodes, and there is a small risk of allergic reaction.

Who is studied

Pediatric patients aged 1 month to 17 years with diagnosed solid tumors who are receiving care at the University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC), Department of Surgery.
