Trial Summary

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. However, if you are taking an investigational drug, you must stop at least 30 days before enrolling in the study.

What data supports the effectiveness of the LUM Imaging System treatment for peritoneal tumors?

The research highlights the challenges in detecting peritoneal tumors with current imaging technologies, suggesting that new imaging systems like LUM could potentially improve detection. While not directly about LUM, advancements in imaging are crucial for better treatment outcomes in peritoneal tumors. ^{1 2 3 4 5}

Is LUM Imaging for peritoneal tumors safe for humans?

The polarization-enhanced laparoscopy (PEL) prototype, which is similar to LUM Imaging, was tested in humans and found to be safe, although there were some technical limitations like reduced illumination. ^{6 7 8 9 10}

How does LUM Imaging for peritoneal tumors differ from other treatments?

LUM Imaging for peritoneal tumors is unique because it focuses on using imaging technology to better visualize and assess the extent of peritoneal tumors, which can help in planning surgical procedures and treatment strategies. This approach is different from traditional treatments that primarily rely on surgery and chemotherapy, as it aims to improve the accuracy of tumor detection and evaluation. ^{2 3 5 7 11}

What is the purpose of this trial?

The objective of this feasibility study is to assess the initial safety and efficacy of the LUM Imaging System for in vivo imaging of metastases to the peritoneum from primary gastrointestinal cancer, ovarian cancer and mesothelioma. This feasibility study consists of two parts: (a) a dose escalation phase to select the optimal dose followed by (b) enrollment of additional patients to develop the tumor detection algorithm.

Eligibility Criteria

This trial is for adults over 18 with peritoneal metastases from gastrointestinal, ovarian, or mesothelioma cancers. They must be scheduled for surgery and have normal organ/marrow function. Excluded are those on recent investigational drugs, pregnant/nursing individuals, uncontrolled hypertension or illness, HIV-positive on antiretrovirals, allergy to contrast agents/PEG.

Inclusion Criteria

Subjects must be scheduled for surgical resection

Subjects must have histologically or cytologically confirmed metastases to the peritoneum from gastrointestinal cancer, ovarian cancer or mesothelioma prior to surgery

Treatment Details

Interventions

• LUM Imaging System

Trial Overview The LUM Imaging System is being tested for its ability to safely and effectively image cancer spread to the peritoneum in real-time during surgery. The study has two parts: a dose-finding phase followed by patient enrollment to refine the tumor detection algorithm.

Participant Groups

Group I: Optimal Dose Arm Experimental Treatment 1 Intervention

12 patients will receive LUM015 at the dose and timepoint selected based on the analysis of the data

Group II: 3rd Tier Dose Level- LUM Imaging System Experimental Treatment 1 Intervention

6 patients will be administered a single dose of LUM015 at 2.0 mg/kg. Imaging with the LUM imaging device will be performed in vivo on surgical tissue.

Group III: 2nd Tier Dose Level- LUM Imaging System Experimental Treatment 1 Intervention

9 patients will be administered a single dose of LUM015 at 1.5 mg/kg. Imaging with the LUM imaging device will be performed in vivo on surgical tissue.

Group IV: 1st Tier Dose Level- LUM Imaging System Experimental Treatment 1 Intervention

3 patients will be administered a single dose of LUM015 at 1.0 mg/kg. Imaging with the LUM imaging device will be performed in vivo on surgical tissue.
