Summary

This trial will test if panitumumab-IRDye800 can help doctors better see and treat cancer, and if it is safe to use.

Who is the study for?

They must have normal kidney, liver, blood counts, and not be on certain heart rhythm drugs or have had recent severe heart issues. Pregnant women or those with some lung conditions can't join.
What is being tested?
The study tests Panitumumab-IRDye800's ability to highlight cancer cells during surgery compared to normal tissue. It aims to confirm how safe this drug is when used in patients undergoing surgical resection for squamous cell carcinoma.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include reactions similar to other monoclonal antibody therapies such as allergic reactions during infusion and possibly changes in blood levels of minerals like magnesium or potassium.
