TROP2-targeting NIR-II probe for real-time OSCC imaging during surgery
Official title: Trop2-targeting the Second Near Infrared (NIR-II) Molecular Probe for Precision Diagnosis of Oral Cancer
Run by Yunnan Cancer Hospital · NCT07794813 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study tests whether applying a TTP-ICG imaging probe to freshly removed oral lesion tissue can help distinguish oral squamous cell carcinoma from benign conditions in real time.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 18-75 undergoing surgical treatment for oral cancer or benign oral tumors and able to provide informed consent.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients whose lesions do not show a favorable fluorescent signal or whose tumors are not TROP2-overexpressing may not benefit.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
Researchers will apply a TTP-ICG imaging solution to freshly excised oral tissue during planned surgery for OSCC or benign oral tumors. The tissue is incubated with different concentrations of the probe, rinsed, and then imaged with an NIR-II system to measure fluorescence. Pathology and immunohistochemistry will follow to compare imaging results with gold-standard diagnoses. The goal is to see if the fluorescent signal correlates with cancer presence and can improve diagnostic accuracy intraoperatively.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could provide a non-invasive, real-time imaging aid to improve diagnostic accuracy during surgery.
How similar studies have gone: Prior work in other cancers has shown that fluorescence-guided imaging can help delineate tumor tissue, but this exact NIR-II, TROP2-targeted approach in OSCC is exploratory.
