The first patient has been dosed in a phase I/IIa fluorescence-guided surgical clinical trial evaluating pHLIP® ICG imaging agent. The purpose of this study is to see whether the use of the fluorescent imaging agent pHLIP® ICG and NIRF imaging during surgery is a safe approach that may allow the surgeon to image tumor bed and established tumor margins. The ClinicalTrials.gov identifier is NCT05130801, https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT05130801
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has provided green light to initiate first in human clinical studies of pHLIP® ICG imaging agent. pHLIP® ICG will be administered to breast cancer patients in a phase 1/2a fluorescence-guided surgical trial at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Fluorescence guidance by pHLIP® ICG during surgical procedures is expected to improve visualization of primary tumor masses and satellite cancerous lesions and allow accurate margin delineation to improve surgical outcomes.
Cybrexa Therapeutics announced that the first patient has been dosed in a Phase 1/2 clinical trial evaluating CBX-12 (alphalex™-exatecan), the company’s lead therapeutic candidate. CBX-12 or alphalex™-exatecan is a pHLIP® Exatecan peptide conjugate: http://cybrexa.com/news/#
