NIR-Fluorescence Guided Surgical Resection of Neoadjuvant Treated Localized Pancreatic Cancer Using SGM-101

Summary

Pancreatic carcinoma has a dismal prognosis at time of diagnosis, due to late onset of clinical symptoms, patients present with advance disease. Complete surgical resection is the only potential curative treatment, however only a small percentage is eligible for upfront total surgical resection due to extension into anatomical related important vascular structures. Neoadjuvant chemo(radio)therapy has become the standard treatment modality for non-primary resectable disease (borderline resectable and locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC)), where subsequent downstaging can make identification of the primary tumor more challenging during surgery. Near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging can aid surgeons by providing real-time visualization of tumors, suspect lymph nodes and vital structures during surgery. Additional intra-operative feedback could possibly reduce the frequency of positive resection margins and increase complete removal of locally spread tumor and involved lymph nodes and could thereby improve patient outcomes as well as overall survival. SGM-101 is a targeted NIR-fluorophore, with specific binding capacity for Carcino Embryonic Antigen (CEA) which is overexpressed on tumor cells in the gastro-intestinal tract, including pancreatic cancer.
