ICG Fluorescence Imaging to Guide Head and Neck Free Flap Surgery
This trial tests whether using intraoperative indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging helps surgeons improve flap outcomes compared with standard assessments in adults undergoing head and neck free flap reconstruction.
-
Optimizing indocyanine green dose and storage for sentinel lymph node mapping in gynecologic cancers
This project will test whether changing the dose and storage conditions of indocyanine green improves sentinel lymph node mapping for people with endometrial, cervical, or vulvar cancer.
-
Using indocyanine green to find sentinel lymph nodes during mastectomy
This pilot will test whether injecting indocyanine green and using fluorescence during mastectomy can find sentinel lymph nodes in women with clinically node-negative invasive breast cancer.
-
Indocyanine green fluorescence during laparoscopic Heller–Dor for achalasia
This study will try using indocyanine green dye during laparoscopic Heller‑Dor in adults with type I or II achalasia to find mucosal leaks during surgery and help guide repairs.
-
Using indocyanine green to identify sentinel lymph nodes during breast cancer surgery
This project tests whether indocyanine green dye and a fluorescence camera can be used instead of the radioactive tracer to find sentinel lymph nodes in adults having breast cancer surgery who are clinically node-negative.
-
Minimally invasive surgery for early-stage colon cancer
This study is testing a new, less invasive surgery for early-stage colon cancer to see if it can lower the chances of cancer coming back compared to the standard surgery.

Quick answers
How many Indocyanine Green (ICG) clinical trials are recruiting right now?
6, as of November 12, 2026. We update this list each time we refresh our data from ClinicalTrials.gov.
Where are these trials running?
In 4 countries. The most sites are in Netherlands (3 trials), Turkey (Türkiye) (1 trial), Italy (1 trial), Sweden (1 trial). Each study page lists its sites and which ones are recruiting.
What phases are they in?
Phase 4: 1. Trials with no phase listed are usually device, behavioural or observational studies.
How do I join one?
Open a study, check the "Is this trial a fit for you?" section, then contact the study team listed on the page. They will ask a few screening questions. Asking is free and does not commit you to anything. Talk it over with your doctor first.
