What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial tests a new imaging agent, LS301-IT, to evaluate its safety and effectiveness in detecting lung cancer. Researchers administer a single dose of the agent through an IV before surgery to help identify cancerous tissue during lung surgery. Participants receive varying doses to assess how timing and amount affect safety and imaging brightness. The trial seeks individuals diagnosed with or strongly suspected of having lung cancer who plan to undergo lung surgery. As a Phase 1 trial, this research aims to understand how the treatment works in people, offering participants the opportunity to be among the first to receive this new imaging agent.

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial coordinators or your doctor.

Is there any evidence suggesting that LS301-IT is likely to be safe for humans?

Research has shown that LS301-IT, a new imaging agent for lung cancer, has promising safety results from earlier studies. It helps surgeons see cancer cells during surgery by making them light up. This experimental treatment is administered through an IV before surgery. Early findings suggest it is well-tolerated by patients, with no major safety concerns reported. As a Phase 1 study, the main goal is to assess its safety and tolerability. The treatment has been tested at different doses, all focusing on ensuring its safety for humans. ^{1 2 3 4 5}

Why are researchers excited about this trial?

Researchers are excited about LS301-IT because it offers a novel approach to lung cancer imaging. Unlike standard treatments that primarily focus on targeting cancer cells, LS301-IT is a fluorescent dye administered intravenously that enhances the visibility of cancerous tissues during surgery. This could potentially allow for more precise tumor removal, reducing the likelihood of leaving behind cancerous cells and improving surgical outcomes. The unique aspect of LS301-IT is its ability to illuminate tumors, which could revolutionize how surgeons identify and remove lung cancer tissues.

What evidence suggests that LS301-IT is effective for lung cancer?

Research has shown that LS301-IT is a promising new tool for imaging lung cancer. This substance attaches specifically to cancer cells, aiding doctors in seeing tumors more clearly during surgery. Early results suggest that LS301-IT is safe and can effectively highlight cancerous tissue, making it easier to detect. In studies, it has demonstrated potential to improve the accuracy of lung cancer surgeries by making cancer cells glow under a special light. This could lead to more precise tumor removal, marking a significant advancement in cancer treatment. Participants in this trial will receive different dosages of LS301-IT to evaluate its effectiveness and safety at various levels. ^{2 3 5 6 7}

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

This trial is for individuals undergoing surgery for lung cancer. Participants must be eligible for surgical thoracoscopy and resection, meaning they are scheduled to have part of their lung surgically removed due to cancer.

Inclusion Criteria

I am diagnosed or suspected to have lung cancer based on scans or biopsy.

I can care for myself and am up and about more than 50% of my waking hours.

I am scheduled for a lung surgery involving a camera.

Exclusion Criteria

I have health issues that make surgery unsafe for me.

I haven't used any fluorescent imaging agents recently.

History of any drug-related hypersensitivity or anaphylactic reactions, including those attributed to indocyanine green (ICG) or other agents used in the study, or known shellfish allergies
