Study summary

The primary objectives of this study are to assess the sensitivity and specificity of SGM-101 in detecting non-small cell lung carcinomas during surgery when excited by an near-infrared light source utilizing intraoperative imaging.

Read the detailed description

Potential subjects will be seen in a General Thoracic Surgery clinic. If potential subjects have a lung nodule that is suspicious for non-small cell lung cancer, they will be a candidate for the operation and the study. There will be no randomization or control group and only subjects previously scheduled to undergo surgery will be eligible to participate. The investigators anticipate a 24-month period will be necessary to reach the accrual goal of 20 subjects.

After obtaining informed consent, subjects who are confirmed as eligible will receive a one-time dose of 5 to 10 mg of SGM-101, up to 5 days prior to the planned operation. As a prophylactic measure, the Principal Investigator may recommend giving 25 mg of IV Benadryl to the subject prior to the infusion of SGM-101 to ensure the possibility of an allergic reaction is absolutely minimized. The goal of surgery in subjects is to remove the nodule and lymph nodes in concern. During surgery, the investigators will take images with an intra-operative camera system. Imaging will take place prior to surgical resection to record the localization of tumors, and post-resection to document the visualization of any residual tumor.

The duration of surgical procedures to resect thoracic malignancies varies substantially, anywhere from 2-6 hours or more. It is estimated that visualization of the chest and removal of nodules for the purposes of this study will require an additional ten (10) minutes. Due to potential quenching of the fluorophore, visualization time will be limited to 30 minutes.

Cohort 1: The first 10 subjects will be a feasibility trial. The investigators will discover whether lung non-small cell lung cancers fluoresce based on the intraoperative images. The surgeon will look at the images during surgery to determine if the tumor is glowing or not. In the first 10 subjects, if the investigators identify 5 or more subjects with a false positive, then the investigators will review the data prior to proceeding. If the investigators have a high false positive rate, then the investigators will likely not proceed because the clinical value of the fluorescent probe is minimal. Of note, if the first five consecutive subjects have false positives, the investigators will stop the study and analyze the data carefully before proceeding with the study.

Cohort 2: If the first 10 subjects show no significant false positives, then the investigators will continue to examine another 10 subjects.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Adult subjects over 18 years of age
  • Subjects presenting with a lung, pleural nodule or mass presumed to be resectable on pre-operative assessment
  • Good operative candidate
  • Subject is capable of giving and participating in the process of consent.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • At-risk subject populations:

    1. Homeless subjects
    2. Subjects with drug or alcohol dependence
    3. Children and neonates
    4. Subjects unable to participate in the consent process.
  • Female patients should not be pregnant or lactating. Women of will be included provided that they have a negative pregnancy test or provide documentation of sterilization, menopausal or status, prior to infusion.
  • Patients who have received SGM-101 in the past.
  • Patients who have received any drug four weeks of the injection.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(4)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Postmenopausal

Periods have stopped for good: usually no period for 12 months in a row without another medical reason, sometimes confirmed by a blood test (FSH).

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

  • Experimental
    SGM-101

    SGM-101 (5-10 mg) will be administered intravenously over 30 minutes followed by a 50 mL flush of isotonic saline to account for the dead volume of the tubing. SGM-101 will be administered 3 to 5 days (+/-1 day) prior to surgery. As a prophylactic measure to ensure the possibility of allergic reaction is absolutely minimized, 25 mg of IV Benadryl may be given the subject prior to the infusion of SGM-101 at the discretion of the Principal Investigator.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Sensitivity measure of SGM-101 uptake and expression in identifying non-small cell lung cancer

    The sensitivity measure will be based on the single lung nodule that is being removed from each subject included in the study. The sensitivity measure is calculated by dividing the number of True Positives (fluorescent nodule, pathology is cancer) by True Positives plus False Negatives (not fluorescent nodule, pathology is cancer).

    Time frame: Up to 10 days post surgery (completion of pathology report)

  2. Specificity measure of SGM-101 uptake and expression in identifying non-small cell lung cancer

    The specificity measure will be based on the single lung nodule that is being removed from each subject included in the study. The specificity measure is calculated by dividing the number of True Negatives (not fluorescent nodule, pathology is no cancer) by True Negatives plus False Positives (fluorescent nodule, pathology is no cancer).

    Time frame: Up to 10 days post surgery (completion of pathology report)

  3. Number of Adverse Events (AEs) and Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    The safety of the study will be determined via incidence rates of all AEs and TEAEs from the time of SGM-101 administration through post-operative follow-up visit.

    Time frame: Up to 4 weeks post surgery (completion of post-operative follow-up visit)

Ran from Jul 2020 to primary completion in Feb 2022, 19 months.

Of 226 non-industry phase 1 interventional studies under Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung, half reached primary completion within 54 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 36 and three quarters within 80. This study's 19 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 699 studies reached it within 50 months; a quarter within 31 and three quarters within 70.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jun 16, 2022, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
