What this trial studies

This Phase 1b study aims to evaluate the safety and fluorescence signal of LS301-IT, a novel imaging agent, administered intravenously to patients undergoing surgical thoracoscopy and resection for lung cancer. The study will involve up to 24 patients divided into four dose cohorts, with safety as the primary focus. The fluorescence signal will be assessed in relation to the dose level and timing of administration, helping to visualize tumor margins and suspicious nodules during surgery.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include patients with a primary diagnosis or high suspicion of lung cancer who are scheduled for surgical thoracoscopy and resection.

Not a fit: Patients with contraindications for surgery or those who have had recent exposure to other optical imaging agents may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance the accuracy of lung cancer surgeries by improving tumor visualization.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies using fluorescence imaging agents have shown promise, suggesting potential for success in this novel approach.

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

* ECOG performance status of 0 to 2
* Have a primary diagnosis, or a high clinical suspicion, for cancer in the lung based on CT, biopsy, or other imaging.
* Are scheduled to undergo surgical thoracoscopy and resection of the lung.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Contraindications for surgery or any medical condition that in the opinion of the investigator could jeopardize the safety of the subject
* No planned surgical use of any other fluorescent optical imaging agent, or exposure to another optical imaging agent within 8 weeks prior to surgery
