Glowing dye could help surgeons spot hidden brain cancer cells

NCT ID NCT03510208

Summary

This study is testing a special fluorescent dye attached to an antibody (panitumumab-IRDye800) that sticks to brain tumor cells. During surgery, a special camera can see the glowing dye, which may help surgeons better tell tumor tissue apart from healthy brain tissue and find small tumors that regular scans miss. The trial will find the safest dose and best timing for using this imaging agent in adults with malignant brain tumors who are already scheduled for surgery.
