What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial tests a new technology called ActivSight™, which aims to enhance surgeons' ability to see blood flow and tissue health during surgeries like colorectal and bariatric (weight-loss) procedures. The goal is to confirm the tool's safety and effectiveness in displaying real-time blood flow to tissues. The trial will also compare ActivSight™ with a standard dye used in surgeries to evaluate its ability to show blood vessels and other structures. Suitable candidates include those requiring surgery for bowel problems or gallbladder issues. As an unphased trial, this study provides a unique opportunity to contribute to the development of innovative surgical technology.

Do I need to stop my current medications for the trial?

The trial information does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications. However, if you are on any investigational agents, you cannot participate in the trial.

What prior data suggests that ActivSightTM is safe for use in surgery?

Research shows that ActivSight is generally safe for use in surgeries. One study found it safe and easy to use for displaying blood flow and tissue perfusion during operations. ActivSight integrates with existing surgical tools and has been tested to meet safety standards.

The system is FDA-cleared, indicating it has been reviewed and approved for specific medical uses. This clearance reassures its safety in humans.

Overall, studies indicate that ActivSight is well-tolerated, with no major safety concerns reported. It aids surgeons by providing clearer views of blood flow and tissues during procedures. ^{1 2 3 4 5}

Why are researchers excited about this trial?

ActivSight is unique because it brings advanced imaging technology into surgeries for colorectal cancer. While standard treatments focus mainly on removing tumors, ActivSight enhances the surgeon's ability to visualize blood flow and tissue perfusion in real-time during operations. This improved visualization can help reduce complications and improve surgical outcomes by ensuring that tissues are properly connected and have adequate blood supply. Researchers are excited about ActivSight because it promises to make surgeries safer and more effective by offering insights that are not possible with current standard techniques.

What evidence suggests that ActivSight is effective for colorectal cancer surgery?

Research has shown that ActivSight, used by participants in this trial, can enhance surgery outcomes by improving the view of blood flow during operations. Studies suggest that this device offers real-time information, crucial during colorectal surgeries. ActivSight’s technology enables surgeons to assess blood flow through tissues, aiding in better decision-making. Findings from colorectal studies are promising, indicating that ActivSight may surpass traditional methods in effectiveness. Overall, the evidence supports its potential to increase surgical accuracy and safety. ^{1 4 6 7 8}

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
