Exploratory Study of Safety and ex Vivo Fluorescence of BLZ-100 in Adult Subjects With Solid Tumors Undergoing Surgery

Summary

Surgery is the primary treatment modality for many types of cancer and the extent of surgical resection is directly related to patient survival. However, it is often difficult for surgeons to distinguish normal from neoplastic tissue or to detect metastatic disease or tumor-infiltrated lymph nodes. In some sites, surgical precision is also required to avoid damage to critical normal tissues. The purpose of this exploratory study is to evaluate the intra-operative and ex vivo fluorescence of BLZ-100 in tumor samples from subjects with breast cancer.
