Fluorescence Imaging of the Parathyroid Glands of Children

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study is to develop a standardized and user-independent imaging workflow model for autofluorescence and quantified fluorescence angiography with Indocyanine Green (ICG) of the parathyroid glands of children. For this purpose, all pediatric patients will undergo thyroid surgery with the use of autofluorescence and quantified ICG-fluorescence. This study could be the first step in reducing the rate of postoperative hypocalcemia in children, by using fluorescence angiography during pediatric thyroid surgery.

Clinical Trial Description

Background: Children with thyroid cancer have excellent survival rates. However, postoperative hypocalcemia, due to inadvertent excision of the parathyroid glands or damage to their vasculature during thyroid surgery, is a severe complication which occurs in 24% - 67% of the children with thyroid cancer and causes lifelong reduced quality of life and increased morbidity rates. In adults, intraoperative identification of the parathyroid glands with autofluorescence and assessment of their perfusion using quantified ICG-fluorescence angiography has shown to reduce postoperative hypocalcemia. However, in children no studies regarding quantified fluorescence of the parathyroid glands have been conducted. There is a clear need for surgical techniques to identify and preserve the parathyroid glands during thyroid surgery in children. Therefore, the aim of this study is to develop a standardized imaging workflow model for autofluorescence and quantified ICG-angiography of the parathyroid glands in children. This workflow model can be the first step in reducing the rate of postoperative hypocalcemia in children. Study design: This will be a prospective, observational, multicenter, feasibility study. The aim is to generate the patterns of intraoperative autofluorescence and quantified ICG-fluorescence angiography of the parathyroid glands in children, resulting in a user-independent, standardized imaging workflow model for autofluorescence and quantified ICG-angiography of the parathyroid glands of children. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
