Summary

This trial is testing a new cancer-detecting system that uses far-red imaging. The goal is to see if it's safe and effective in detecting colorectal, pancreatic, and esophageal adenocarcinomas.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with confirmed gastrointestinal cancers (esophageal, colorectal, or pancreatic) who are scheduled for surgery. They must have normal organ function and blood counts, be able to follow study procedures, and not be pregnant. Participants should use contraception during the study.
What is being tested?
The LUM Imaging System's safety and effectiveness in identifying cancerous tissue during surgery is being tested. It involves a drug called LUM015 used with an imaging device to highlight tumors in the digestive tract.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects aren't specified here but generally could include reactions at the injection site of LUM015, issues related to contrast agents like allergic reactions or kidney problems from dye used in imaging.

Trial Design

6Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Patients with esophageal cancerExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
The first 3 patients will be injected at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg. If no or minimal activity is observed and no serious adverse events occur, the subsequent three patients will be injected with the second tier dose level of 1.0 mg/kg. If no or minimal activity is observed in in the second tier dosing group, and no serious adverse events occur, the following three patients will have the third tier dose of 1.5 mg/kg administered. An additional 2 patients will be recruited at the dose level that produces optimal LUM015 activity. All surgical specimens will be sent to the pathology suite for imaging with the LUM 2.6 Imaging Device and routine diagnostic assessment.
Group II: Patients with early stage gastric cancer or precancerous lesionsExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
The first 3 patients will be injected at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg. If no or minimal activity is observed and no serious adverse events occur, the subsequent three patients will be injected with the second tier dose level of 1.0 mg/kg. If no or minimal activity is observed in in the second tier dosing group, and no serious adverse events occur, the following three patients will have the third tier dose of 1.5 mg/kg administered. An additional 2 patients will be recruited at the dose level that produces optimal LUM015 activity. All surgical specimens will be sent to the pathology suite for imaging with the LUM 2.6 Imaging Device and routine diagnostic assessment.
Group III: Patients with colorectal cancerExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
The first 3 patients will be injected at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg. If no or minimal activity is observed and no serious adverse events occur, the subsequent three patients will be injected with the second tier dose level of 1.0 mg/kg. If no or minimal activity is observed in in the second tier dosing group, and no serious adverse events occur, the following three patients will have the third tier dose of 1.5 mg/kg administered. An additional 2 patients will be recruited at the dose level that produces optimal LUM015 activity. All surgical specimens will be sent to the pathology suite for imaging with the LUM 2.6 Imaging Device and routine diagnostic assessment.
Group IV: Pancreatic cancer patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapyExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
The first 3 patients will be injected at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg. If no or minimal activity is observed and no serious adverse events occur, the subsequent three patients will be injected with the second tier dose level of 1.0 mg/kg. If no or minimal activity is observed in in the second tier dosing group, and no serious adverse events occur, the following three patients will have the third tier dose of 1.5 mg/kg administered. An additional 2 patients will be recruited at the dose level that produces optimal LUM015 activity. All surgical specimens will be sent to the pathology suite for imaging with the LUM 2.6 Imaging Device and routine diagnostic assessment.
Group V: Pancreatic cancer patients not receiving neoadjuvant chemoExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
The first 3 patients will be injected at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg. If no or minimal activity is observed and no serious adverse events occur, the subsequent three patients will be injected with the second tier dose level of 1.0 mg/kg. If no or minimal activity is observed in in the second tier dosing group, and no serious adverse events occur, the following three patients will have the third tier dose of 1.5 mg/kg administered. An additional 2 patients will be recruited at the dose level that produces optimal LUM015 activity. All surgical specimens will be sent to the pathology suite for imaging with the LUM 2.6 Imaging Device and routine diagnostic assessment.
Group VI: Gastric cancer patients who have received neoadjuvant therapyExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
The first 3 patients will be injected at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg. If no or minimal activity is observed and no serious adverse events occur, the subsequent three patients will be injected with the second tier dose level of 1.0 mg/kg. If no or minimal activity is observed in in the second tier dosing group, and no serious adverse events occur, the following three patients will have the third tier dose of 1.5 mg/kg administered.
