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.

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.

Time frame
up to 14 days
