Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults over 18 years old with neoadjuvant treated borderline resectable or locally advanced pancreatic cancer scheduled for surgical resection.

Probably not a fit

Patients with a history of clinically significant anaphylactic reactions or those not eligible for surgical resection may not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study investigates the use of near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging to assist in the surgical resection of pancreatic cancer in patients who have undergone neoadjuvant therapy. By utilizing a CEA-targeted fluorophore called SGM-101, surgeons aim to improve the visualization of tumors and lymph nodes during surgery, potentially leading to better surgical outcomes. The study focuses on patients with borderline resectable or locally advanced pancreatic cancer, where traditional imaging may not accurately represent the tumor's status post-therapy. The goal is to reduce positive resection margins and enhance the complete removal of tumors.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly improve surgical outcomes and survival rates for patients with pancreatic cancer.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies utilizing fluorescence-guided surgery have shown promising results, indicating potential for success in this novel application.
