New treatment option for Lung Cancer
Official title Evaluation of IRDye800CW-nimotuzumab in Lung Cancer Surgery
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT04459065
What this study is testing
What is IRDye800CW-nimotuzumab?
IRDye800CW-nimotuzumab is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for lung cancer.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- 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.
- Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
A plain-language read of the study's public ClinicalTrials.gov listing. The study team confirms the details.
