About this study

In this study we evaluate the feasibility of intraoperative visualization of penile and tongue tumours using the fluorescent tracer EMI-137.

Read the detailed description

This is a single-center, non-randomized, prospective interventional pilot study. Feasibility of intraoperatively visualizing tumour (margins) in penile and tongue tumours using EMI-137 will be investigated. Patients, ≥ 18 years of age, with ≥T1 penile or tongue cancer undergoing primary tumour surgery will be included. All patients will receive an intravenous bolus injection of EMI-137 prior to surgery. Main study parameters/endpoints are: Intraoperative visualization of primary penile or tongue tumours using a dedicated clinical fluorescence camera. The in vivo detected fluorescence signal will be correlated to ex vivo measurements and pathological assessment of the ex-cised tissue.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. tumour visualization by means of c-MET targeted fluores-cence imaging

    The feasibility of intraoperative tumour visualization by means of c-MET targeted fluores-cence imaging will be evaluated, and the imaging result will be correlated to the level of c-MET expression determined using standard immunohistochemistry.

    Measured: peri-operative

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Lymph node visualization by means of c-MET targeted fluores-cence imaging

    Detection and visualization of lymph node metastases in penile and tongue tumour patients

    Measured: peri-operative

  2. Dysplasia or Cis by means of c-MET targeted fluores-cence imaging

    Identification of dysplasia or carcinoma in situ in penile and tongue tumours.

    Measured: Peri-operative

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Head and Neck Cancer and Penile Cancer, run by The Netherlands Cancer Institute at 1 site in Netherlands.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Oct 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Netherlands. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

tumour visualization by means of c-MET targeted fluores-cence imaging (time frame: peri-operative). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Oct 2022.
