The ureter is the tube that carries urine from the kidneys to the bladder. It is difficult for surgeons to see the ureter during abdominal surgery. This could lead to injuring the ureter which, although rare, could be serious. This study is about a potential new medical dye, called ASP5354. This dye is injected into the person at the start of surgery and is detected in the ureter. This is done by an imaging machine which has an option called near infrared fluorescence, or NIR-F. Together they show live images of specific parts of the body. In this study, ASP5354 is used with an imaging machine with a NIR-F option to show live images of the ureter during surgery. People with kidneys that work properly and those with kidney problems can take part. The main aim of the study is to find out how clearly the ureter can be seen with ASP5354 during surgery in adults whose kidneys work properly or who have mild kidney problems. To do this, the surgeons will inject ASP5354 into the person having surgery. Then, the surgeons will compare images of the ureter with an imaging machine using normal white light and with the NIR-F option. Imaging using normal white light is the standard way surgeons see the ureter during surgery. People 12 years or older who were going to have certain abdominal surgeries may be able to take part. Everyone taking part will receive ASP5354 during surgery, but how the imaging is done will depend on which group they are in. Before surgery, the adults taking part whose kidneys work properly or who have mild kidney problems will be assigned into 1 of 2 groups by chance alone. Images of the ureter will be checked in 1 group using normal white light and the other group using normal white light and NIR-F. People 18 years and older with more severe kidney problems and all people under 18 years old will not be assigned to 1 of 2 groups: all images of the ureter will be checked using normal white light and NIR-F. At the start of surgery, the surgeon will inject ASP5354 into the person having surgery, then will start recording a video. Then, after 30 minutes, the surgeon will record how well the ureter can be seen. This will be done by either using normal white light, or normal white light and NIR-F, depending which group each person having surgery is assigned to. For the group to be checked with normal white light and NIR-F, the surgeon will do this every 30 minutes until the end of surgery. For the group to be checked with normal white light only, the surgeon will only do this after the first 30 minutes. During the study, people will visit the study hospital 3 times. The first visit is to check if they can take part in the study. People will be asked about their medical history, have a medical examination, and their vital signs checked (blood pressure and pulse rate). Also, they will have some blood and urine tests. For women and girls this may include a pregnancy test. People will have their surgery at the second visit. This will be within 28 days of their first visit. This includes having some blood and urine tests before, during, and after surgery. Also, they will have a medical examination, an electrocardiogram (ECG) to check their heart rhythm, and have their vital signs checked. After surgery, people will return to the clinic 15 days later for a final check-up. They will be asked if they have had any medical problems. Also, they will have a medical examination, have their vital signs checked, and have some blood and urine tests.

A group of medical experts will also record how well the ureter can be seen in the surgery videos. The medical experts will not be directly involved in this study. They won't know who the images belong to or which group they are from. During the study, people will visit the study hospital 3 times. The first visit is to check if they can take part in the study. People will be asked about their medical history, have a medical examination, and their vital signs checked (blood pressure and pulse rate). Also, they will have some blood and urine tests.

Trial Phase:Phase 4

48 Participants Needed

This is a randomized, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of two dose levels (2.5 mL and 5.0 mL) of Bludigo™ (indigotindisulfonate Sodium Injection, USP) 0.8% when used as an aid in the determination of ureteral patency. Subjects scheduled for a surgical procedure in which the patency of the ureter must be assessed by cystoscopy following the procedure, age 18 to 85 years inclusive, will be screened for participation. Screening will occur within 30 days before study drug administration (Day of Surgery). After signing the informed consent, review of inclusion and exclusion criteria will be performed, the collection of concomitant medications, medical history, physical examination, baseline laboratory testing, 12-lead ECG, and vital sign measurements will be completed during the screening visit. On the day of surgery (Day 1) subjects will be evaluated for eligibility for randomization. Eligible subjects will be stratified by BMI (\<30.0 kg/m2or ≥ 30.0 kg/m2) and randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive a dose of either Bludigo™ high dose (5.0 mL) or Bludigo™ low dose (2.5 mL). Each randomized subject will serve as his/her own control (i.e., intra-patient controlled) by receiving a dose of normal saline prior to receiving the randomized Bludigo™ dose. All treated subjects will have a follow-up visit 7 to 30 days (± 2 days) after the procedure. A final telephone follow-up call will occur on Day 30 (± 2 days) in subjects who have the follow-up visit before Day 28. Safety assessments will include monitoring of AEs during and post the procedure, clinical laboratory tests, 12-Lead ECG, and vital sign measurements.

Trial Phase:Phase 4

116 Participants Needed

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine if the drug Nizaracianine Triflutate can help surgeons see and avoid the ureters during abdominopelvic surgery. The ureters are thin-wall, collapsible tubes that connect the kidneys to the bladder. They are difficult to see during surgery and are sometimes damaged accidentally. The main questions to answer are: 1) is this drug safe for use in patients undergoing abdominopelvic surgery and 2) can the drug see the ureters while simultaneously providing information about how well they are working. The clinical trial has 3 parts. Surgery patients enrolled in the first part (Phase 2) will receive drug at different doses to determine the best dose. Patients enrolled in the second part (Phase 3A) will be randomly assigned to drug or placebo (sugar), at the best dose from Phase 2, so the two can be compared directly. Patients enrolled in the final part (Phase 3B) will all receive drug at the best dose from Phase 2.

Why Other Patients Applied

"I have dealt with voice and vocal fold issues related to paralysis for over 12 years. This problem has negatively impacted virtually every facet of my life. I am an otherwise healthy 48 year old married father of 3 living. My youngest daughter is 12 and has never heard my real voice. I am now having breathing issues related to the paralysis as well as trouble swallowing some liquids. In my research I have seen some recent trials focused on helping people like me."

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Ureteral Injury clinical trials pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Ureteral Injury clinical trials work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Ureteral Injury trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Ureteral Injury is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Ureteral Injury medical study?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Ureteral Injury clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Engineered Urethral Tissue for Urethral Stricture, Nizaracianine Triflutate for Ureteral Injury and Medical Dye for Abdominal Surgery to the Power online platform.
