Study Objectives

Study objectives can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary study objectives
The proportion of participants who have at least one indeterminate tissue or unexpected fluorescent End of Surgery (EOS) tissue where Gleolan-induced PpIX fluorescence status is consistent with histology.
Secondary study objectives
Diagnostic accuracy of Gleolan-induced PpIX fluorescence among indeterminate tissue and unexpected fluorescent EOS tissue locations is at least 20% greater than the diagnostic accuracy of the surgeons' assessment.
Diagnostic performance of Gleolan-induced PpIX fluorescence will be computed for indeterminate tissue biopsies, unexpected fluorescent EOS tissue biopsies.
Positive Predicted Value (PPV) of Gleolan-induced PpIX fluorescence of the single bulk tumor tissue obtained from each study participant
