About this trial
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, optimal dose and imaging time of the investigational product, IRDye800CW-nimotuzumab for use as a near infrared imaging probe for image-guided surgery during lung cancer resection. IRDye800CW-nimotuzumab targets cancer cells over-expressing EGFR, allowing tumors to be visualized and may help surgeons better identify cancer during surgery.

Treatments tested in this trial
IRDye800CW-nimotuzumab
Drug50 mg of IRDye800CW-nimotuzumab will be infused intravenously over a period of 30 minutes. Lung cancer resection surgery will be done at different time points post infusion
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Phase 1: Optimal dose of IRDye800CW-nimotuzumab for image guided surgery.
To identify the dose with the highest tumor fluorescence and TBR.
Phase 2: Determine the optimal time for IRDye800CW-nimotuzumab infusion for image guided surgery.
To identify the imaging time with the highest tumor fluorescence and TBR.
Secondary outcomes
Determine primary tumor margins.
Determine the level of fluorescence that can discriminate between EGFR positive tumor tissue and normal tissue.
Identify EGFR positive lymph nodes.
Determine the level of fluorescence that can discriminate between EGFR positive lymph nodes and normal tissue.
Safety of IRDye800CW-nimotuzumab
a. Safety will be determined by recording the number of grade 2 or higher adverse events determined to be clinically significant, which are definitely, probably, or possibly related to IRDye800CW-nimotuzumab within 30 days of administration.
