Efficacy and Safety

 

ELUCIDATE (Trial 007): Enabling Lung Cancer Identification Using Folate Receptor Targeting

Study Design

A Phase 3, randomized, single dose, open-label trial that investigated the safety and efficacy of CYTALUX® for intraoperative imaging of folate receptor positive lung lesions.

Primary Endpoint: Clinical Significant Events

Localization of
pulmonary lesion

Detection of one or more
synchronous malignant lesions

Identification of a close
resection margin

Efficacy

19%
In 19% of patients, the primary lung lesion was localized, but not detected with conventional methods.
8%
In 8% of patients, surgeons found one or more occult malignant lesions that were not previously identified.

In 38% of patients, a close resection margin (≤10mm) was identified.*

Surgeons reported changing the scope
of their procedure
in 29% of patients,
due to use of CYTALUX.

† Based on a prespecified exploratory endpoint for the proportion of subjects for whom the surgical plan was changed based on fluorescence imaging both prior to initiation of the surgical procedure and upon re-imaging of the surgical field after surgical procedure prior to closing.

Misinterpretation of Camera Images

Errors may occur with the use of CYTALUX during intraoperative fluorescence imaging to detect ovarian cancer and lesions in the lung, including false negatives and false positives. Non-fluorescing tissue in the surgical field does not rule out the presence of ovarian cancer or lesions in the lung. Fluorescence may be seen in normal tissues including bowel, kidneys, lymph nodes, lungs, and inflamed tissue.
