About this study

Official title: Pilot Project Assessing the Safety and Feasibility of Using Panitumumab-IRDye800 as an Optical Imaging Agent to Detect Ovarian Cancer During Surgical Procedures

This is a pilot project to determine the safety and feasibility of using panitumumab-IRDye800 to detect cancerous tissue compared to normal surrounding tissue in participants with ovarian cancer undergoing surgical resection. This study is an extension of the work previously done using this agent in patients with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the head and neck, exploring its utility in a different cancer type.

Read the detailed description

The study is an open label, single site, Phase I study to determine the safety and feasibility of using conjugated panitumumab-IRDye800 in patients with ovarian cancer undergoing surgical resection. Tumor to background ratios (TBRs) will be determined by comparing fluorescence intensity of tumor tissue to grossly normal tissue in the field. The presence of tumor tissue and fluorescence will be confirmed by histopathologic analysis.

Panitumumab-IRDye800CW has a toxicity and pharmacodynamic profile that matches the parent compound. In this study, patients will receive a 50mg flat dose of panitumumab-IRdye800 without a loading dose of panitumumab alone, which was found in the Phase I study of patient with head and neck cancer to be the safest and most cost-effective dose in a dose-range escalation study with high sensitivity, specificity, Positive Predictive Value (PPV), and Negative Predictive Value (NPV) for fluorescence detection of tumor compared to normal background tissue. This infusion will occur 24-72 hours prior to planned surgery.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Panitumumab-IRDye800Drug

    Single IV systemic infusion of panitumumab-IRDye800 and NIR imaging of cancer during and after surgical resection.

    Enrolled patients will receive a one-time IV infusion of 50mg of the investigational agent, panitumumab-IRDye800, 24-72 hours prior to the scheduled surgical resection. All appropriate labs, tests, and safety monitoring will occur as outlined in Section 8.1. Participants will be monitored using standard clinical parameters to evaluate for toxicity. Participants will be observed immediately after infusion of the study drug. The following observations and tests shall be performed after treatment to identify both acute and late treatment specific toxicity: vital signs, physical exam, toxicity grading, assignment of performance status, hematology, and blood chemistries (complete metabolic profile to include magnesium and phosphorus). NCI Common Toxicity Criteria v5.0 will be used for grading of toxicity.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Dose limiting toxicity (DLT)

    Dose limiting toxicity (DLT) defined as any grade 2 or greater toxicity that is considered definitely related to the study drug, considered clinically significant by the Principal Investigator, and occurs within 15 days of receiving treatment.

    Measured: up to 15 days after infusion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Panitumumab-IRDye800 in people with Cancer and Chemotherapy, run by University of Alabama at Birmingham 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 12 inclusion and 9 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Nov 2026. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Michelle Osoinak, BSN, RN, CNOR (205-539-2903, mosoinak@uabmc.edu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Dose limiting toxicity (DLT) (time frame: up to 15 days after infusion). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT07919509, which also lists 60 linked publications.

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 5 Nov 2026.
