About this study

Official title: A Phase 2, Single Dose, Open-Label, Exploratory Study to Investigate the Safety and Efficacy of OTL38 Injection for Intraoperative Imaging of Folate Receptor Positive Lung Nodules

This is a phase 2, multi-center, single dose, open-label, exploratory study in suspected lung cancer patients scheduled to undergo endoscopic or thoracic surgery per CT/positron emission tomography imaging based on standard of care. This study aims to assess the efficacy of OTL38 and Near Infrared Imaging (NIR) at identifying pulmonary nodules within the operating theater, and to assess the safety and tolerability of single intravenous doses of OTL38.

Read the detailed description

This is a phase 2, multi-center, single dose, open-label, exploratory study in suspected lung cancer patients scheduled to undergo endoscopic or thoracic surgery per CT/positron emission tomography (PET) imaging based on standard of care.

Two to three hours prior to surgery, patients will be infused with OTL38. After the patient is intubated and surgical site incised, the surgeon will locate and document all nodules identifiable by white light, manual palpation, and Near-Infrared Imaging (NIR). This will be documented and recorded. Surgery will be completed per surgeon's standard of care, afterwards the area will be reviewed under standard and infrared light. All samples will be sent for pathology and immunohistochemistry (IHC) evaluation.

OTL38 for Injection, Near infrared camera imaging system, Endoscopic or Thoracic Surgery

What is being measured

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

  1. Sensitivity or True Positive Rate (TPR)

    Sensitivity or True Positive Rate (TPR) for OTL38 in combination with fluorescent light, defined as the proportion of fluorescent light positive tissue samples (nodule, synchronous lesion, and margin but excluding lymph nodes) that are histologically confirmed to be FR+ and lung cancer by central pathology relative to the total number of tissue samples confirmed to be FR+ and lung cancer by central pathology.

    Sensitivity = (True Positive)/(True Positive +False Negative)

    Measured: 1 day

  2. False Positive Rate (FPR)

    False positive rate (FPR) for OTL38 in combination with fluorescent light, for the purpose of this protocol, will be calculated as 1 - the Positive Predictive Value (PPV) and is defined as the proportion of fluorescent light positive tissue samples removed (nodule, synchronous lesion, and margin but excluding lymph nodes) that are histologically confirmed to be non-cancerous, or if cancerous, not FR+ and lung cancer, by central pathology relative to the total number of tissue samples removed with fluorescent light imaging. False Positive Rate = (False Positives) / (True Positives + False Positives)

    Measured: 1 day

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Proportion of Patients With at Least 1 Clinically Significant Event (CSE)

    Proportion of patients with at least 1 Clinically Significant Event (CSE as a result of utilizing OLT-38 and Near Infrared Imaging

    Measured: 1 day

  2. Positive Margin Identification

    Number of patients where at least one positive margin (fluorescent cancerous cells within 5 mm of the staple line) is identified with only OTL-38 and NIR

    Measured: 1 day

  3. Synchronous Lesion Identification

    Number of patients where at least one synchronous lesions is identified only with OTL-38 and NIR

    Measured: 1 day

  4. Pulmonary Nodule Identification

    Number of pulmonary nodules identified with OTL-38 and Near Infrared Imaging (NIR) that could not otherwise be identified by white light and palpation.

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing OTL38 for Injection, Near infrared camera imaging system and Endoscopic or Thoracic Surgery in people with Lung Neoplasms and Lung Cancer, run by On Target Laboratories, LLC at 6 sites in 2 countries.

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 7 inclusion and 12 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Mar 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in United States, Netherlands. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 24 Mar 2023). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Sensitivity or True Positive Rate (TPR) (time frame: 1 day). 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 24 Mar 2023.
