January 14, 2026 updated by: Intuitive Surgical

A Phase 3 Multi-Center Efficacy Study of Filricianine Injection in Patients Undergoing Robotic-Assisted Colorectal Surgery Using the da Vinci Surgical System With Firefly® Fluorescence Imaging

Detailed Description

Injury to the ureter, the duct by which urine passes from the kidney into the bladder, is a well-known and serious complication of pelvic and abdominal surgery that frequently goes unrecognized intraoperatively. This study seeks to evaluate the safety and efficacy of intravenous IS-001 injection to improve surgeon ureter visualization during robotic-assisted colorectal surgery with the da Vinci® Surgical System and Firefly® imaging.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Male and female participants between the ages of 16 and 75, inclusive
  2. Participant is scheduled to undergo robotic-assisted colectomy using the da Vinci X/Xi Surgical System with SFF Fluorescence Imaging Exclusion Criteria

1. Participant is pregnant or nursing 2. Participant has known current acute or chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection 3. Participant has any of the following screening laboratory values: eGFR < 30 mL/min/1.73 m2

  1. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≥ 2.5 × ULN
  2. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≥ 2.5 × ULN
  3. Total Bilirubin > 2mg/dL 4. Participant has any concomitant non-colorectal cancer 5. Participant has any circumstances that, in the judgment of the Investigator, might make them not a suitable candidate for the study 6. Participants have already been enrolled in another investigational drug or device study within the past 6 months 7. Participants with known or suspected hypersensitivity to indocyanine green (ICG) or any components of the formulation used 8. Participant is expected to receive or has received other methods for ureter identification during the surgery (e.g., ureteral stent placement, illuminated catheters, retrograde ICG injections) before the administration of IS-001 9. The duration of the surgery is expected to be less than 90 minutes as determined during preoperative planning.
