• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2020-04-02
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

This study is a single center, open-label, two-part study to assess image guided surgery of intramolecular imaging in nervous system tumors. Subjects with a diagnosis of a resectable nervous system tumor who are at risk of recurrence are included. The primary goal is to observe what tissues fluoresce in the OR, and then to identify if that tissue is cancerous/tumor or normal when the histopathology is performed.

• Phase: Phase 1/Phase 2
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No
