Study Summary

This trial is testing whether adding extra MRI sequences before surgery can improve outcomes by providing more accurate information about the tumor. It is also testing whether using a fluorescent imaging agent during surgery is a safe and effective way to help surgeons see and remove all of the cancer cells.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with a confirmed primary breast cancer diagnosis, who haven't had previous treatments and are planning to have surgery to conserve the breast. The tumor must be stage Tis, T1 or T2 and larger than 1 cm. Participants need to be able to undergo MRI scans without any contraindications.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if pre-operative multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) can improve surgical outcomes by better defining the tumor's extent and acidity compared to standard MRI. It also examines whether pHLIP ICG fluorescent imaging agent used during surgery helps surgeons remove cancer more effectively.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this is the first time pHLIP ICG is being tested in humans, potential side effects aren't fully known but may include reactions related to contrast agents such as allergic responses or issues due to fluorescence during surgery.

Trial Design

1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: MRI and pHLIP® ICGExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
All study participants in Phase I will receive pre-operative MRI and mpMRI scans, a pre-operative injection of pHLIP ICG, and NIRF imaging during surgery (intra-operatively). During phase IIa of the study, if pHLIP® ICG NIRF imaging indicates tumor in areas outside of the planned resection area, biopsy samples will be taken from these areas and submitted for pathological analysis.
