The research study is being done to assess the safety and ability of an investigational drug called CYTALUX (pafolacianine) and a special camera system for the detection of cancer in patients undergoing surgical resection for endometrial cancer.
Study participant's medical history (questions about their health) will be reviewed with them before their surgery to ensure they are able to participate in the study.
It is important for study participants to tell their doctor if they are taking vitamins that contain Folic Acid (vitamin B9), or Folic Acid (vitamin B9) supplements. They will need to stop taking these vitamins at least 48 hours before their scheduled infusion. Folic acid can reduce the effectiveness of the CYTALUX (pafolacianine). Certain other medications have not been studied together with CYTALUX (pafolacianine), so it is important for them to tell their doctor about all medicines and supplements they are taking.
Screening Visit (To see if they can take part in the study and will take place no more than 30 days before surgery)
The following will take place during the Screening Visit. These tests could include those that their doctor would do before any major surgery, in which case they may not be repeated for this trial.
• The doctor and/or a member of the doctor's team will ask them about their health, and obtain a list of all medications, including vitamins and over-the-counter medications (medicines obtained without a doctor's prescription), that they are taking.
Study Drug Infusion (Up to 7 days before surgery)
Study participants will be scheduled to receive the drug being tested, CYTALUX (pafolacianine), any time from 7 days before their surgery up to the day of their surgery. They will receive CYTALUX (pafolacianine) at least one hour before the imaging portion of their surgery.
Before they receive the study drug, the following will happen:
The study drug will be given over about 60 minutes through a vein. The dose of CYTALUX (pafolacianine) given will be calculated by their weight.
Surgery Visit
The following activities related to the study will happen on the day of surgery:
Post-operation Visit (Day 28 ± 7 Days)

| CYTALUX™ (pafolacianine) | Drug | CYTALUX™ (pafolacianine) injection and standard care laparoscopic evaluation of disease. Intraoperative imaging with Cytalux will be performed for assessment of disease detection in patients who are being evaluated to undergo surgery for endometrial cancer. Any tissues removed as part of standard of care will undergo assessment with NIR light imaging prior to and after resection. This will be then compared to gold standard histologic confirmation by pathology. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Endpoint | The primary efficacy endpoint is the sensitivity of CYTALUX with NIR imaging for detection of malignant lesions. Sensitivity is defined as the proportion of fluorescent light positive lesions that are histologically confirmed to be cancer relative to the total number of lesions confirmed to be cancer. Sensitivity = (True Positive)/(True Positive + False Negative) | 2 months after surgery |

This is a single center, single dose, open-label investigator-initiated pilot study in adult subjects with a primary diagnosis of endometrial cancer who are being evaluated for surgery. Subjects will receive one dose of CYTALUX™ (pafolacianine) injection intravenously prior to the planned diagnostic laparoscopies. This hour-long infusion will be completed from 1 hour to up to 168 hours (7 days) prior to intraoperative near-infrared (NIR) imaging for the planned surgery. All subjects participating in the study are expected to receive CYTALUX™ injection and standard care laparoscopic evaluation of disease. Intraoperative imaging with Cytalux will be performed for assessment of disease detection in patients who are being evaluated to undergo surgery for endometrial cancer. Any tissues removed as part of standard of care will undergo assessment with NIR light imaging prior to and after resection. This will be then compared to gold standard histologic confirmation by pathology.
