Panitumumab IRDye800 Optical Imaging Study

Phase I, Open-label Study Evaluating the Safety and Pharmacokinetics of Escalating Doses of Panitumumab-IRDye800 as an Optical Imaging Agent to Detect Head and Neck Cancer During Surgical Procedures

Phase I trial to evaluate the safety of escalating dose levels of conjugated panitumumab-IRDye800 in subjects with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) that undergo surgery with curative intent.

This is a Phase I trial that is designed to evaluate the safety of escalating dose levels of conjugated panitumumab-IRDye800 used in subjects with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) that undergo surgery with curative intent. Safety data from this trial will be studied to assist in the selection of dose levels of panitumumab-IRDye800 for future research. It is hoped that this study will also help in finding better methods for identifying cancer intraoperatively for a more complete surgical resection.

Inclusion Criteria

• Biopsy confirmed diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck
• Patients diagnosed with any T stage, any subsite within the head and neck that are scheduled to undergo surgical resection. Patients with recurrent disease or a new primary will be allowed.

• Received an investigational drug within 30 days prior to first dose of panitumumab IRDye800
• Myocardial infarction (MI); cerebrovascular accident (CVA); uncontrolled congestive heart failure (CHF); significant liver disease; or unstable angina within 6 months prior to enrollment
• History of infusion reactions monoclonal antibody therapies
• Pregnant or breastfeeding
• Evidence of QT prolongation on pretreatment ECG (greater than 440 ms in males or greater than 450 ms in females)
• Magnesium or potassium lower than the normal institutional values
• Patients receiving Class IA (quinidine, procanamide) or Class III (dofetilide, amiodarone, sotalol) antiarrhythmic agents.
