NCT ID NCT04511078
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a dye called panitumumab-IRDye800 can make head and neck cancer cells glow during surgery, helping surgeons see and remove all cancer while sparing healthy tissue. About 25 adults with head and neck cancer scheduled for surgery will receive the dye before their operation. The goal is to see if the dye clearly highlights cancer compared to normal tissue and to check its safety.
