Summary

This trial is testing a new cancer-detecting dye to see if it is safe and effective.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults over 18 with squamous cell carcinoma in the mouth or throat, who are scheduled for surgery and have not had recent oral surgery. They must be able to perform daily activities with little to no assistance (ECOG status 0-1) and cannot have had prior treatment with PARP inhibitors.

What is being tested?

The study is testing a new dye called PARPi-FL to see if it can help detect cancer in the tongue and mouth. Participants will receive varying doses of this investigational dye to determine its safety and the optimal amount needed for cancer detection.

What are the potential side effects?

Since this is the first time PARPi-FL is being used in humans, specific side effects are unknown but may include reactions related to Olaparib sensitivity such as allergic reactions, since individuals with known hypersensitivity to Olaparib are excluded from the trial.

Experimental Treatment

Group I: Fluorescent PARPi Binding Imaging Agent PARPi-FLExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

In the phase I of the study, increasing concentrations of PARPi-FL will be used in up to 12 patients with OSCC to determine concentration that results in the highest contrast between tumor and normal mucosa. Dose escalation will be performed in groups of three patients until image contrast decreases, side effects are noted or the concentration of PARPi-FL exceeds 1μM. Imaging will be performed in the Department of Surgery during a presurgical visit including clinical examination of the oral cavity. In the phase II part of the study the concentration of PARPi-FL determined in phase I will be used to image 18 patients with OSCC on the day of surgery. Imaging findings will be correlated with histopathologic findings in the surgically resected specimens.
