Study summary

This pilot clinical study evaluates the safety and imaging performance of panitumumab-IRDye800 (pan800), a fluorescent, EGFR-targeted imaging agent - in patients undergoing neurosurgical resection of intracranial lesions.

Read the detailed description

This study will evaluate a single intravenous dose of panitumumab-IRDye800 (pan800) in subjects with intracranial lesions who are scheduled to undergo standard-of-care neurosurgical resection. The study drug will be administered 1-5 days prior to surgery, after which participants will undergo their planned procedure with intraoperative near-infrared fluorescence imaging to assess tumor visualization. Following the infusion, subjects will be monitored for immediate adverse events, and a member of the study team will continue safety follow-up through postoperative assessments and a Day 15 follow-up contact. Participants will otherwise continue to receive standard-of-care evaluation and treatment for their intracranial disease at the discretion of their treating physicians.

Inclusion criteria

  • Subjects with intracranial lesions undergoing surgical removal as their standard of care will be eligible. These may include subjects status post chemotherapy and/or radiation or subjects who have undergone diagnostic for their original diagnosis and are deemed to be candidates for resection.
  • Subject age ≥ 18 years.
  • Adequate hematologic and end-organ function appropriate for surgery and panitumumab infusion as determined by routine preoperative evaluation or designee prior to infusion. If liver function, renal function, and hematologic laboratory test results are acceptable for elective surgery and panitumumab infusion, the patient is considered eligible for the study. Laboratory results will need to be obtained within 30 days prior to initiation of study treatment include:

    1. Chemistry Panel - Potassium, BUN (or urea), and Creatinine
    2. CBC with differential - WBC, including ANC, , hematocrit, and count
    3. Magnesium and Phosphorus
  • Women of must have a negative pregnancy test within 7 days of study drug administration.
  • Ability to understand and willingness to sign a written informed document or written via a surrogate consent rider from the patients' healthcare decision maker.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Had a myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular accident, or uncontrolled chronic heart failure within 6 months prior to enrollment.
  • History of infusion reactions to any monoclonal antibody therapies.
  • Women who are currently pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • Participants presenting with a baseline interval > than 480 milliseconds.
  • Magnesium or phosphorus lower than normal institutional values, and subject is symptomatic.
  • Patients receiving Class IA (quinidine, procainamide) or Class III (dofetilide, amiodarone, sotalol) antiarrhythmic agents.
  • Patients with a history or evidence of interstitial pneumonitis or pulmonary fibrosis.
  • Patients with severe renal disease or anuria
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(6)

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.

Biopsy and archival tissue

A biopsy takes a small piece of tissue to examine. “Archival tissue” is a sample already taken, for example at diagnosis, and kept by the hospital.

Whether a stored sample will do depends on when it was taken, how much there is and what the study needs. Ask whether the study accepts your stored sample or needs a new biopsy.

Hemoglobin (Hb)

The protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. A low level is anaemia, which can cause tiredness and breathlessness. Measured in g/dL or g/L (9 g/dL is 90 g/L).

Platelets

Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.

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.

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.

QT and QTc

On an ECG, the QT interval is the time the heart’s lower chambers take to activate electrically and recover in each beat. QTc is that time adjusted for heart rate (QTcF by Fridericia’s formula, QTcB by Bazett’s). Some medicines lengthen it, and a long QTc can raise the risk of a dangerous heart rhythm.

The study may name a correction formula and a limit in milliseconds, often around 450–480.

Study arms

  • Experimental

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Determine the safety of panitumumab-IRDye800 as an imaging agent in patients undergoing surgery for intracranial lesions.

    Safety will be defined by the number of Grade ≥ 2 AEs determined that are clinically significant and considered definitely or probably related to pan800. Safety data will be summarized by grade, severity, and type.

    Time frame: From infusion to 15 days post-infusion.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Determine the efficacy of panitumumab-IRDye800 in identifying intracranial lesions compared to surrounding normal central nervous system tissue.

    Efficacy will be measured by tumor-to-background ratio (TBR) using fluorescence intensity measurements.

    Time frame: Within 14 days post-surgery

  2. Determine the dosage of the study drug infusion to maximize the tumor-to- background ratio.

    There will be an assessment of tumor-to-background ratio (TBR) comparing cohort 1 \& 2.

    Time frame: Within 14 days post-surgery

  3. Determine the optimal timing of the study drug infusion to maximize the tumor-to- background ratio.

    There will be an assessment of tumor-to-background ratio (TBR). Some patients may receive the study drug on varying pre-surgery days rather than infusions on the same day for every patient. The TBR will be assessed for every patient regardless of pre-surgery infusion day. The optimal timing of administration of the study drug will be determined by the highest average TBR from a particular pre-surgery infusion day. TBR will still be assessed using the intraoperative fluorescence imaging taken on the standard of care surgery.

    Time frame: Within 14 days post-surgery

References and documents

Individual participant data

Plan to share: Undecided — We do not plan to share individual participant data from this phase 1 study due to its exploratory nature with a study drug. Sharing individual-level data at this stage could compromise participant confidentiality and may not yield meaningful insights given the preliminary scope of the study. Additionally, the data collected may not meet the robustness or generalizability standards required for broader dissemination. The investigators do not plan to share IPD with other researchers at this time.

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.
