Open-Label Study Evaluating Cetuximab-IRDye800 as an Optical Imaging Agent to Detect Neoplasms During Neurosurgical Procedures

This study is a phase 1-2 trial that evaluates the best dose of cetuximab-IRDye 800CW and how
well it works in detecting tumors in patients with malignant glioma who are undergoing
surgery. Cetuximab-IRDye 800CW is an optical imaging agent that may help detect tumor cells
when a special camera is used.

This is a dose-escalation study of cetuximab-IRDye 800CW. Patients are assigned to 1 of 2
cohorts.

COHORT I: Patients receive cetuximab intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes and a lower dose of
cetuximab IRDye800 IV over 30 minutes to 1 hour on day 0.

COHORT II: Patients receive cetuximab IV over 30 minutes and a higher dose of cetuximab
IRDye800 IV over 30 minutes to 1 hour on day 0.

All patients undergo standard of care surgical resection of tumor on days 2-5.

After completion of study, patients are followed up at days 10 and 30.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

Determine the efficacy of cetuximab-IRDye 800CW (cetuximab IRDye800) in intraoperatively
identifying malignant glioma compared to surrounding normal central nervous system tissue, as
measured by tumor-to-background ratio.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:

Determine the tolerability of the cetuximab IRDye800 as an imaging agent in subjects
undergoing resection of malignant glioma.

ms in males or greater than 450 ms in females)
