E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Patients aged over 18 years old;
2. Patients should be scheduled for curative colorectal cancer surgery of primary cT4 colon cancer or primary cT3/4 rectal cancer, recurrent colorectal cancer or peritoneal metastasized colorectal cancer;
3. Female patients should not be of childbearing potential (i.e., women with functioning ovaries who have a documented tubal ligation or hysterectomy, ovariectomy or women who are post-menopausal) nor breastfeeding. Women of child-bearing potential, including women who have a documented tubal ligation, will be included provided that they have a negative urine pregnancy test at the day of the injection and agree to practice adequate contraception (highly effective methods as listed in Section 5.1) for 30 days prior to administration of investigational product, and 90 days after completion of injection.
A postmenopausal state is defined as no menses for 12 months without an alternative medical cause. A high follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level in the postmenopausal range may be used to confirm a post-menopausal state in women not using hormonal contraception or hormonal replacement therapy. However, in the absence of 12 months of amenorrhea, a single FSH measurement is insufficient;
4. Patients should be capable and willing to give informed consent before study specific procedures.

|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Other malignancies, either currently active or diagnosed in the last 5 years, except for adequately treated in situ carcinoma of the cervix and basal or squamous cell skin carcinoma; 2. Primary appendiceal cancer; 3. Laboratory abnormalities defined as: - Aspartate AminoTransferase, Alanine AminoTransferase, Gamma Glutamyl Transferase) or Alkaline Phosphatase levels above 5 times the ULN or; - Total bilirubin above 2 times the ULN or; - Serum creatinine above 1.5 times the ULN or; - Platelet count below 100 x 109/L or; - Hemoglobin below 4 mmol/L (females) or below 5 mmol/l (males); 4. Known positive test for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAG) or hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody or patients with untreated serious infections; 5. Use of another investigational drug during 4 weeks before the Injection Day. 6. Any condition that the investigator considers to be potentially jeopardizing the patient’s well-being or the study objectives. |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Detection rate: E1
Proportion of patients in whom NIR allowed to: 1. achieve tumor free surgical margins of lesions identified before the use of NIR,when WL did not (R0 resection) AND/OR
2. identify and resect at least one additional true positive (TP) tumor lesion in patients in which WL allowed to achieve tumor free margins for all lesions identified before the use of NIR AND/OR
3. identify and resect at least one additional true positive (TP) tumor lesion in patients undergoing a debulking surgery before a HIPEC procedure.
The three individual components of E1 (E1.1 , E1.2 and E1.3) will also be analyzed separately |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
1. “Conservative surgery benefit” rate: E2 Proportion of patients who have more [WL positive, NIR negative, pathology negative lesions] (NIR true negatives) than [WL negative, NIR positive, pathology negative] (NIR false positive) lesions, i.e. a net benefit in numbers of negative lesions wrongly resected.
2. False detection rate: E3 Proportion of patients who have all additional biopsies / resections under NIR that are false positives (FP).
3. Composite endpoint at the patient level: Clinical benefit (or “positive” change in surgery plan or post-surgical management of the patient resulting from the use of FGS) rate E4. Clinical benefit will be assessed within each patient by comparing standard of care surgery without fluorescence to surgery with fluorescence and assessing if the latter allowed to remove any additional pathologically confirmed malignant lesion and/or to resect less nonmalignant tissue, and/or to adapt the post-surgical management in case of detection with NIR only of unsuspected new lesions, leading to a re-staging of the disease, each patient serving as his own control. The outcome measure will be the rate of patients with clinical benefit.
4. Composite endpoint at the patient level: Rate of Fluorescence Guided Surgery benefit over White Light alone: E5. At the individual lesion level, all FGS vs WL discordant results are reviewed to evaluate which of FGS or WL agrees with pathology results. If FGS is consistent with pathology the FGS has a positive outcome. When FGS is discordant with pathology then it has a negative outcome. All concordant FGS and WL results are considered as neutral (neither benefit nor harm from FGS over WL). Lesions with FGS and WL concordant results will receive a neutral assessment. At the patient level, if the number of individual lesion positive results is greater than the number of individual lesion negative results, the overall result will be considered as positive. It will be considered as negative in all other cases (greater number of individual lesions negative outcome, equal numbers of negative and positive individual lesions outcomes or only neutral individual lesion outcomes).
5. Sensitivity rate E6: The accuracysensitivity rate will be used as the main endpoint to assess intraoperative imaging agent performance. The statistical analysis will consist in describing the concordance between FGS using SGM-101 as intraoperative imaging agent and the pathology results (final pathology when available or FFS if not sent to pathology) with respect to the presence of cancer using rates of true positives (TP), false positives (FP), false negatives (FN), true negatives (TN) and the accuracy rate (TP+TN). The sensitivity (Se) ratio (malignant results correctly identified by fluorescence) will be computed as the ratio of true positives over the sum of true positives + false negatives: Se=TP/(TP+FN)
6. False Positive Rate: E7 The FPR (non malignant lesions wrongly identified by fluorescence as malignant) is equal to 1-the Positive Predictive Value (PPV). It will be computed as the ratio of false positives over the sum of true positives + false positives: FPR = (1-PPV) = FP/(TP+FP).
7. •Positive Predictive value (PPV) (percentage of histologically (final pathology when available or FFS if not sent to pathology) positive lesions among fluorescent lesions), •Negative Predictive value (NPV) (percentage of histologically (final pathology when available or FFS if not sent to pathology) negative lesions among nonfluorescent lesions), •Specificity ratio (Sp) (non-malignant results correctly identified by fluorescence). •Accuracy: percentage of accurate identification by NIR (TP and TN) as confirmed by histologically (final pathology when available or FFS if not sent to pathology).
8. The diagnostic performance of FGS will be analyzed on the subgroup of patients with fresh frozen sections taken during surgery, to assess if FGS could replace fresh frozen sections, resulting in a potential benefit on the total duration of the surgical procedure.
9. Computation of descriptive statistics for TBR, defined as fluorescent signal of tumor tissue compared to fluorescence signal of normal tissue surrounding the tumor.
10. Assessment of the impact of SGM-101 injection on the surgical procedure (rapidity of the evaluation, easiness of detection of additional nodules, duration of surgical procedure, duration of anesthesia) with the surgeon’s questionnaire
11. Routine clinical measurements such as treatment-emergent adverse events, blood pressure, heart rate, temperature, peripheral oxygen saturation, respiratory rate, skin examination, and routine laboratory assessments.
12. Assessment of adverse events related to surgery within a period of 32 days following SGM-101 injection in order to substantiate the benefit/risk assessment of the use of SGM-101 and assess a possible bias in the surgeons’ approach due to the use of fluorescence.
