About this study

The goal is to improve surgery by preventing tumor cells from being left behind at the time of surgery. This includes finding residual tumor cells in the wound after surgery.

Read the detailed description

The goal is to improve the intraoperative identification of tumor cells at positive margins and regional metastases that may be missed by a surgeon during a pulmonary resection. Improved identification of tumor cells will result in superior disease clearance and more accurate clinical staging. The investigators hypothesize that targeted fluorescent imaging during surgery will improve identification of positive margins and metastases. Since folate receptor alpha (FR ) is expressed on 55% of resectable lung cancer, the investigators will utilize a fluorescent probe that targets these tumors. As real-time imaging provides more information to the surgeon, more personalized and directed operations can be conducted. This work will allow for more preservation of normal tissue, decreased morbidity, decreased surgical time, increased surgical confidence, improved cancer detection, decreased unnecessary surgery and ultimately improved tumor free survival. This technology should transform clinical surgery from an art that depends fully on the human factor to a procedure that has precision and fail safes.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Margin assessment

    Percentage of surgeries which detect tumor cells at the surgical margin

    Measured: At the time of surgery

  2. Lymph node assessment

    Number of residual tumor cells in the lymph nodes detected via intraoperative imaging of a FR-targeted fluorescent contrast agent

    Measured: 4 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing EC17 imaging contrast agent in people with Lung Cancer, run by VA Office of Research and Development at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Mar 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Margin assessment (time frame: At the time of surgery). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Mar 2018.
