Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will compare different doses of a green fluorescent product that is administered during weight loss surgery in order to observe where blood vessels are located. There is uncertainty around the optimal dose of this product for patients with obesity, so this study will aim to study if the dose in the minimal range recommended by international guidelines is sufficient for most patients or if higher doses are needed with increasing body mass index.

Blinding Strategy

QUADRUPLE

Participants Caregivers Investigators Outcome Assessors
Group assignment is centrally managed. Participants are blinded under anesthesia, with no awareness of group assignment. The anesthesiologist knows the dose but is blinded to outcomes and conceals the dose from surgeons. Data collectors and laboratory technicians are not informed of group assignment or study purpose. Adjudicators of outcomes, not involved in surgery, will assess postoperative videos blinded to patient characteristics and knowing only the timing of drug administration. Data analysts and the data safety monitoring committee use coded identifiers to remain blinded to group assignments. The manuscript's results will be written blinded, after which codes will be replaced for actual doses to interpret and discuss the findings.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

indocyanine green (5 mg)

Participants in this arm will receive a single 5 mg intravenous dose of indocyanine green (ICG) during surgery, diluted in 10 mL of sterile saline, followed by a 20 mL saline flush. ICG angiography will be performed using a near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging system (Stryker® 1688 4K laparoscopic camera or da Vinci Xi Firefly®). Imaging will begin immediately before ICG administration and will include a minimal 120 seconds focused on the pouch or duodenal area and the anastomosis. The camera will be positioned at a fixed 5 cm distance and 30° angle. All other surgical procedures will be conducted according to standard of care.

Indocyanine Green Angiogram

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Three different doses of indocyanin green will be compared (5 mg, 7.5 mg, and 10 mg). These doses are within the range of currently recommended doses by the International Society for Fluorescence Guided Surgery (ISFGS) for bariatric surgery.

indocyanine green (7.5 mg)

Participants in this arm will receive a single 7.5 mg intravenous dose of indocyanine green (ICG) during surgery, diluted in 10 mL of sterile saline, followed by a 20 mL saline flush. ICG angiography will be performed using a near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging system (Stryker® 1688 4K laparoscopic camera or da Vinci Xi Firefly®).

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Diagnosis of obesity with a BMI ≥ 30 kg/m²
* Scheduled for revisional bariatric surgery

Exclusion Criteria

* Allergy to iodides.
* Anticoagulation with products containing sodium bisulfite (due to the risk of ICG-FA inactivation).
* Use of radioactive iodine studies within the past 7 days.
* Pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant within the next year (due to unknown teratogenic or fertility effects of ICG-FA).
* History of liver disease or laboratory findings suggestive of moderate to severe hepatic disease: total bilirubin \>1.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN), or any elevation of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) above ULN.
* Participants who withdraw their consent to participate in the study (elimination criterion).
