Study Summary

This trial will test the effectiveness and safety of two different doses of a medication called Indigotindisulfonate Sodium Injection in determining if the ureter (tube connecting the kidney to the bladder

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 18-85 with varying degrees of kidney function, from normal to severe impairment. They must be scheduled for surgery where ureter health will be checked and have given written consent. People with recent acute illness or unstable renal insufficiency are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests two doses (2.5 mL and 5.0 mL) of Indigotindisulfonate Sodium Injection, USP 0.8%, to see how well it helps determine if the tubes connecting the kidneys and bladder (ureters) are open in patients with different levels of kidney function.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include allergic reactions to the dye, discomfort at injection site, changes in urine color, or other unforeseen issues related to the use of diagnostic agents in individuals with impaired kidney function.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Has the FDA granted approval for the use of Low Dose?

"Based on our assessment at Power, the safety rating for Low Dose is 3 since this trial falls under Phase 4, indicating regulatory approval of the treatment."

Answered by AI

Is this clinical trial open to participants who are younger than 65 years of age?

"Patients between 18 and 85 years old are eligible for participation in this research. There are separate studies available for those under 18 and individuals over 65, comprising a total of 143 studies altogether."

Answered by AI

What is the primary goal behind conducting this medical trial?

"The primary goal of this research, to be assessed approximately 10-15 minutes after administering the investigational drug Bludigo, is identifying responders. Secondary measures consist of tracking adverse events and serious incidents among participants - notably detailing the percentage in each treatment arm encountering such events post-treatment; examining time for visualization of blue color in ureteral jets flow post-Bludigo™ administration (referred to as Time to Visualization or TTV); and observing alterations in vital signs following treatment, specifically focusing on subjects displaying significant changes."
