Study arms

  • Experimental
    5-AminoLevulinicc Acid

    consists of 60mg/kg 5-ALA prepared solution given orally, 3-5 hours before induction of anesthesia and surgical tumor resection. Red light laser given by a Dye laser system, wave length of 635nm, in s dose of 150J/cm for 2000 seconds (33 minutes) will be given to tumor bed. In the case of positive margins (for tumor presence), a second surgical intervention followed by second 60mg/kg 5-ALA administration will be performed.

    Drug: 5-AMINOLEVULINIC ACID (5-ALA), is a non fluorescent prodrug.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. The primary endpoint is a binary variable where each patient is classified as a recurrence or a not recurrence case and will be determined by calculating the proportion of recurrence versus non recurrence rates

    Time frame: three years

Secondary outcomes

  1. To assess the safety of study drug administration in the study population. To assess the 5 years local recurrence rate.

    Data from all subjects who receive any study drug will be included in the safety analyses. The severity of the toxicities will be graded according to the NCI CTCAE whenever possible. Adverse events will be summarized by worst NCI CTC grade. Adverse events classified as NCI CTCAE Grade 3 or Grade 4, study-drug-related events, and serious adverse events will be summarized separately. Laboratory data will be graded according to NCI CTCAE severity grade.

    Time frame: five years
