Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Intraoperative administration of Indocyanine green dye during Interval cytoreduction surgery for ovarian cancer  Indocyanine green (ICG) ( 25 mg vial) will be reconstituted with 5 mL of sterile water for injection under sterile conditions. A dose of 0.1 mg/kg body weight will be administered via a peripheral intravenous line as a rapid bolus, followed by a 10 mL normal saline flush. A maximum of two boluses per patient will be allowed, based on intraoperative need. All contraindications will be ruled out based on the ICG product insert prior to administration.

Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To evaluate the detection rate of additional peritoneal nodules with near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) imaging with indocyanine green (ICG) in identifying occult peritoneal metastases during interval cytoreductive surgery in patients with ovarian cancer.   Detection rate will be calculated based on intraoperative findings and histopathological reports within first 6 months of follow up 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
1.To evaluate the Identification rate, histopathological positivity rate of ICG fluorescence-guided biopsies during interval cytoreduction & other diagnostic accuracy parameters like positive predictive value & sensitivity.
2.To determine whether fluorescence guidance during interval cytoreduction alters the extent of surgical resection & identify subset of patients in whom it is ideal.
3.To determine technical challenges & develop optimal guidelines for intraoperative utility of the fluorescence imaging
4.To generate preliminary data for future trials assessing long-term oncologic outcomes- peritoneal recurrence, disease free survival (DFS) & overall survival (OS) at 6 months & 1 year & 2 year (beyond thesis period) 
At 6 months & 1 year & 2 year (beyond thesis period)

Brief Summary  

This study aims to evaluate the performance of ICG-guided near-infrared fluorescence imaging in enhancing intraoperative detection of occult peritoneal metastases during interval cytoreduction surgery in ovarian cancer. Primary objective is to evaluate the detection rate of additional peritoneal nodules with near-infrared fluorescence imaging with indocyanine green in identifying occult peritoneal metastases during interval cytoreductive surgery in patients with ovarian cancer. Female patients aged more than 18 years with histolopathologically confirmed ovarian cancer, FIGO stage III or IV and completed more than or equal to 3 cycles of platinum-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy and scheduled for an interval cytoreductive surgery, ECOG performance status 0 to 2 and provided written informed consent will be included. This study addresses a critical gap by evaluating the real-time utility of ICG NIRF imaging in enhancing intraoperative identification of otherwise occult disease. By focusing on its performance in the post-chemotherapy setting, our work aims to clarify whether this technology can support more complete cytoreduction, guide surgical decision making, and ultimately contribute to improved outcomes for women with advanced ovarian cancer
