Yellow 560 Microscope for Intraoperative Visualization of Fluorescein Stained Intracranial Lesions (Fluoescein)

February 13, 2017 updated by: AdventHealth
This study focuses on implementing Yellow 560 for the direct intraoperative visualization of Fluorescein Sodium stained intracranial lesions to facilitate extend of surgery, develop better treatment protocols, and improve the prognosis of a wide array of neurosurgical diseases. More specifically, for the patients who are undergoing surgical intervention for the treatment of their brain aneurysm, tumor, arteriovenous malformation or fistula, the investigators will inject the dye intraoperatively to assess for residual aneurysm, tumor or in general residual lesion which must be corrected.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The research design is a prospective clinical study. All patients enrolled in the study will prepare for surgery as per standard neurosurgical indications, procedures and institution protocols. At the time of the anesthesia induction, with the patient under general anesthesia, Fluorescein Sodium 10% (100mg/1mL) at a dose of 500mg (100mg/ml) will be administered intravenously (the optimal dosage will be determined within the study as the most minimal dose for adequate visualization will be used). Surgery will continue with the aid of the Yellow 560 microscope with a minimum delay of 10 minutes after injection to reduce the amount of leakage of Fluorescein Sodium into the surrounding tissue.

Conventional microsurgical and biopsy procedures and techniques including histopathology and intraoperative imaging will be performed through the completion of the surgery. The surgeon will resect and remove what he believes is the tumor based on previously known criteria (standards of care) regardless of what the Fluorescein angiography demonstrates. For vascular lesions, fluorescein sodium 10% (100mg/1mL) will be injected and used to assess its application after the conventional methods have confirmed the exclusion of the aneurysm. No patient's care will be affected by the results of the Fluorescein angiography.

No other additional neurosurgical instruments will be used. Patients will be treated post-operatively with conventional adjunctive therapies and imaging as deemed necessary by the attending neurosurgeon for the evaluation of extent of surgery. Follow-up data (including post-operative images assessing outcomes and complications) will be collected on all patients on standard post-operative visits. Intra-operative films or recordings and all patient data may be saved and used according to HIPAA allowances.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Adult patients (age ≥ 18)
  • Diagnosed by preoperative imaging modalities to have a brain tumor (including metastatic brain tumors) or vascular lesions (aneurysm, arteriovenous malformation or arteriovenous fistula) requiring surgical intervention.
  • The patient is determined by a board certified neurosurgeon to have a tumor or vascular lesion that would take up fluorescein

Experimental: All Patients
All patients enrolled in the study will prepare for surgery as per standard neurosurgical indications, procedures and institution protocols. At the time of the anesthesia induction, with the patient under general anesthesia, Fluorescein Sodium 10% (100mg/1mL) at a dose of 500mg (100mg/ml) will be administered intravenously (the optimal dosage will be determined within the study as the most minimal dose for adequate visualization will be used).
Drug: Fluorescein Sodium
Conventional microsurgical and biopsy procedures and techniques including histopathology and intraoperative imaging will be performed through the completion of the surgery. The surgeon will resect and remove what he believes is the tumor based on previously known criteria (standards of care) regardless of what the Fluorescein angiography demonstrates. For vascular lesions, fluorescein sodium 10% (100mg/1mL) will be injected and used to assess its application after the conventional methods have confirmed the exclusion of the aneurysm. No patient's care will be affected by the results of the Fluorescein angiography.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Incidence of Intracerebral lesion
Time Frame: Particpants will be followed from enrollment into study which include atleast to 2 images and any other image done up to 1 year of scheudled follow up.
The main outcome measure of the study would be a comparison between patient pre-operative and post-operative images to evaluate the potential utility of using Fluorescein Sodium and the Yellow 560 microscope to aid in the treatment of intracranial tumors and vascular lesions.
