Fluorescent Imaging Ligand OTL38 in Diagnosing Cancer in Patients with Resectable Solid Tumors

Trial Status: complete

This early phase I trial studies how well fluorescent imaging ligand OTL38 (OTL38) works in diagnosing cancer in patients with solid tumors that can be removed by surgery. OTL38 is made by linking folate (a vitamin) to a fluorescent agent, called indole-cyanine. OTL38 and intraoperative imaging during surgery may help doctors to identify solid tumor mass and/or diseased tissue like noncancerous masses.
