Intra-operative Use of Indigo Carmine Dye for the Delineation of Ill Defined Tumor Borders Using Stereotactic Injection
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Indigo carmine for Brain Tumors With Ill-defined Margins. Completed, enrolled 10 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether stereotactic indigo carmine injection can safely increase the extent of tumor resection.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
During resection, a small quantity of a special dye called indigo carmine will be infused at the margins of the tumor using computer-guided stereotactic navigation equipment. This dye will be visible during the tumor resection and it can potentially serve as an additional marker of the tumor margins. A post-operative MRI scan -which is part of the standard care- will accurately measure the extent of tumor resection.
