Fluorescence Detection of Adult Primary Central Nervous System Tumors With Tozuleristide and the Canvas System

Study Purpose

The purpose of this study is to examine the use of a single dose of tozuleristide (24 or 36 mg) and the Canvas imaging system during surgical resection of primary central nervous system (CNS) tumors: Primary gadolinium enhancing (high grade) CNS tumors, primary non-gadolinium enhancing CNS tumors, and primary vestibular schwannoma. The primary objectives of the study is to see how well tozuleristide and the Canvas imaging system during surgical resection will show fluorescence among primary enhancing/high grade CNS tumors; and among the tumors that demonstrate tozuleristide fluorescence, to estimate the true positive rate and true negative rate of fluorescence in tissue biopsies, as well as sensitivity and specificity of tozuleristide fluorescence for distinguishing tumor from non-tumoral tissue. The secondary objectives of the study include evaluating the safety of tozuleristide and the Canvas imaging system, and to determine if the presence of remaining fluorescence at the time of surgery corresponds to remaining tumor evident on post-operative MRI images, or if the absence of fluorescence corresponds to evidence of no gross residual tumor on post-operative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

No
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

More Inclusion & Exclusion Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • - MRI obtained within 30 days of study enrollment documents a measurable lesion consistent with a primary malignant central nervous system tumor for which maximal safe resection is indicated OR MRI obtained within 30 days of study enrollment documents a measurable lesion consistent with a primary schwannoma enhancing tumor in the cerebellopontine angle for which maximal safe resection is indicated.
  • - Adequate renal and liver function.
  • - Subjects with prior therapy are eligible provided they have recovered from any acute toxic effects of prior therapy and have sufficient time interval prior to enrollment.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • - Pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to conceive a child within 30 days.
  • - Ongoing serious medical conditions such that participation in the study could put the subject at increased risk of worsening their condition.
  • - Subjects planned to undergo only a diagnostic biopsy procedure, without intent to resect tissue for therapeutic purposes.
- Subjects for whom radiographic evidence suggests a non-intra-axial primary brain tumor

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT04743310
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.
