Brief Title: Exploratory Study of Safety and ex Vivo Fluorescence of BLZ-100 in Adult Subjects With Solid Tumors Undergoing Surgery
Official Title: A Phase 1 Exploratory Study of the Safety and ex Vivo Fluorescence of BLZ-100 Administered by Intravenous Injection in Adult Subjects With Solid Tumors Undergoing Surgery
Study ID: NCT02496065
Brief Summary: Surgery is the primary treatment modality for many types of cancer and the extent of surgical resection is directly related to patient survival. However, it is often difficult for surgeons to distinguish normal from neoplastic tissue or to detect metastatic disease or tumor-infiltrated lymph nodes. In some sites, surgical precision is also required to avoid damage to critical normal tissues. The purpose of this exploratory study is to evaluate the intra-operative and ex vivo fluorescence of BLZ-100 in tumor samples from subjects with breast cancer.
Detailed Description: Subjects diagnosed to have breast cancer for which surgical resection is clinically indicated will be enrolled in this study. Upon obtaining signed informed consent, subjects will enter a Screening Period for up to 14 days to determine eligibility. Subjects meeting all of the inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria will be eligible to participate in the study. All subjects entered into the study will be required to arrive at the hospital (or Phase 1 unit if applicable) for BLZ-100 administration at least 2 hours before their scheduled surgical procedure. Following administration of BLZ-100, subjects will be continuously monitored for safety and any allergic reaction occurrence for 30 minutes; thereafter, subjects will be evaluated for 7 days after drug administration. All subjects will be followed for at least 30 days following drug administration to monitor for SAEs. Tumor samples will be imaged in situ and ex vivo with the SIRIS imaging system or equivalent device, processed, and sent to a central laboratory to be evaluated for ex vivo fluorescence using the Odyssey® CLx imaging system.
