Indocyanine Green for Central Nervous System Tumors

A Pilot/Feasibility Study of Intraoperative Image-Guided Surgery of CNS Tumors With Indocyanine Green and MR Spectroscopic Imaging

This study is a single center, open-label, two-part study to assess image guided surgery of intramolecular imaging in nervous system tumors. Subjects with a diagnosis of a resectable nervous system tumor who are at risk of recurrence are included. The primary goal is to observe what tissues fluoresce in the OR, and then to identify if that tissue is cancerous/tumor or normal when the histopathology is performed.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

Adult patients 18 years of age and older Patients presenting with a CNS tumor presumed to be resectable and are at risk for local recurrence on pre-operative assessment Good operative candidate as determined by the treating physician and multidisciplinary team Subject capable of giving informed consent and participating in the process of consent

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: ICG Arm
Subjects undergo indocyanine green injection within 72 hours prior to surgery. Permitting infusion time within 72 hours of operation is believed to be adequate for tissue glow/surgical visualization. Alternately, patients may receive 25 mg of indocyanine green during induction. Dose and time of administration will be determined by the neurosurgeon during surgical planning. This 25 mg dose of indocyanine green is similar to dosing for other intraoperative vascular visualization.
