About this trial

This is an open-label, single-dose, prospective clinical trial. The study comprises 2 work packages. The main objective of work package I (WP-1) is to assess feasibility of Fluorescence imaing (FLI) during total laryngectomy (TLE) and to assess the optimal dose of the cRGD-ZW800-1. Work package II (WP-II) is designed to assess whether FLI can detect and decrease tumor positive margins after a TLE.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patients with biopsy-proven squamous cell Laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancer, eligible for surgical resection of the tumor by TLE;

≥ 18 years of age;

Written informed consent must be obtained;

Sufficient knowledge of the Dutch language to understand the informed consent form;

Disqualifiers

History of a clinically significant allergy or anaphylactic reactions to any of the components of the agent;

Other synchronous biopsy proven malignancies currently active, except for adequately treated in situ carcinoma of cervix and basal, squamous cell skin carcinoma, or other head- and neck squamous cell cancer;

Patients pregnant or breastfeeding;

Patients with renal insufficiency (defined as eGFR < 60);

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

WP-I: the optimal dose of cRGD-ZW800-1 for FLI of laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancer

Based on the tumor-to-background ratio (TBR) on breadloaves. Higher TBRs indicate a better outcome

Time frame
Up to 48 hours after administration (Depending on pathology grossing)
2

WP-II: the rate of clear tumor resection margins

Time frame
Through histopathology, up to max 4 weeks post-op

Secondary outcomes
