Study Summary

This trial tests a new imaging technique to detect and measure colorectal tumors, plus measure biomarkers in tissue samples to assess tumor properties. #medtech

Who is the study for?
Adults with confirmed colorectal adenocarcinoma who are scheduled for a standard colonoscopy can join. They must have good liver and kidney function, not be pregnant or breastfeeding, agree to use effective contraception, and have an ECOG score of 0-2. Those allergic to ICG or VGT-309 components, with certain heart conditions, or unable to consent cannot participate.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the safety and effectiveness of VGT-309 as a fluorescent probe during augmented colonoscopy for real-time visualization of colorectal tumors using NIR fluorescence endoscopy. It also examines over 50 biomarkers in biopsies.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions related to the infusion of VGT-309 or allergies due to its components. The exact side effects are being studied as part of this trial's purpose.
