Study summary

Prostate cancer, with more than 70,000 new cases and 8900 deaths a year in France, is a major public health problem. Until 28% of patients treated with surgery will present a positive surgical margin resulting in an incomplete clearance of the tumoral process and exposing so the patient at a local, systemic recurrence and increased morbidity. An increasing number of international publications have shown (ICG) was interesting for the detection of the sentinel lymph node, in the surgery of tumors of type hepatocarcinoma and liver metastases from colorectal diseases, but also in the surgery of the kidney, bladder or breast. ICG has affinity for tumor and tissues around the tumor related to micro-vascular histology for a localized and specific deposit (EPR effect).

The detection of ICG 's deposits is now possible with to the use of a device which allow to visualize the infra-red fluorescence (NIR; Near Infra-Red) for objects larger than 0.15 mm. Thanks to this feature, the location of residual tumor tissue when performing a radical prostatectomy could be made much easier.

Read the detailed description

The ability of ICG to detect a surgical margin positive intraoperatively has never be evaluated. We want to perform a monocentric prospective ex-vivo pilot in order to evaluate the diagnostic performance of fluorescence in the detection of surgical margins compared to pathologic analysis. This study will be conducted in 37 patients operated on for a radical prostatectomy after systemic injection of 0, 25 mg/Kg of ICG 24 h before the surgery. The fluorescence analysis will be performed in the operation room and then specimen will be sent to the laboratory for an analysis as usual. Two pieces of prostate will be prelevated according to a protocol. The histopathological procedure will be performed without knowledge of fluorescence analysis. Except the ICG injection the medical procedure won't be changed.

    Time frame: 24h after indocyanine green infusion

Secondary outcomes

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Mar 10, 2016, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
