E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Phase I: - To evaluate the safety and tolerability of single i.v. doses of FG001 in patients with GBM scheduled for surgery - To establish the optimal dose for imaging of FG001 in patients with GBM
Phase II: - To evaluate the efficacy of FG001 in patients with malignant glioma undergoing surgery and to compare it with the efficacy of 5-ALA in patients with malignant glioma undergoing surgery |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Phase I: - To determine the pharmacokinetics (PK) profile of single i.v. doses of FG001 - To evaluate the efficacy of FG001 in patients with GBM scheduled for surgery
Phase II: - To determine the PK profile of single i.v. doses of FG001 - To evaluate the efficacy of FG001 or 5-ALA after surgery by determination of gross total resection (GTR) - Positive Predicted Value (PPV) of FG001 and 5-ALA fluorescence tumor tissue obtained from each trial patient - To evaluate the contrast of FG001 for the surgeon to differentiate tumor tissue from normal tissue - Evaluate the NPV from each trial patient of FG001 and compare with 5-ALA - To evaluate the safety and tolerability of the optimal i.v. dose of FG001 in patients with malignant glioma scheduled for surgery |

Women of childbearing potential must agree to use an adequate method of contraception during the trial and for 30 days after the end-of-trial visit. Adequate methods of contraception include intrauterine device or hormonal contraception (oral contraceptive pill, depot injections or implant, transdermal depot patch or vaginal ring). To be considered sterilised or infertile, females must have undergone surgical sterilisation (bilateral tubectomy, hysterectomy or bilateral ovariectomy) or be post-menopausal (defined as at least 12 months amenorrhoea; may be confirmed with follicle-stimulating hormone [FSH] test if there is doubt) 6. Male patients must commit to use barrier contraception (e.g., condom) during the trial and for 30 days after the end-of-trial visit 7. Patient must not previously have received the trial drug (FG001) 8. Patients can only be included if the surgery is planned to be guided by 5-ALA. 9. Patients can only be included if the scheduled surgery is anticipated gross total resection (GTR) with the objective to remove cancer tissue 10. Patients must have normal organ and bone marrow function and be appropriate surgical candidates per site standard of care (SOC). |

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Any known allergy or hypersensitivity to indocyanine green (ICG) 2. Female patients who are pregnant or breast-feeding (pregnancy test positive prior to inclusion) 3. Overall performance status or co-morbidity deeming the patient unfitted for participation in the trial as judged by the Investigator 4. Pre-existing hepatic and/or renal insufficiency - INR > 1,7 - Estimated GFR (eGFR) <45 ml/min/1,73m2 5. Unwilling or unable to follow the protocol requirements 6. History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical/biologic composition to 5-ALA 7. Known or documented personal or family history of porphyria 8. Prior history of serious gastrointestinal perforation, diverticulitis, and or/peptic ulcer disease 9. Simultaneous participation in another clinical trial receiving a trial drug 10. Simultaneous use of other potentially phototoxic substances (St. John's wort, griseofulvin, thiazide diuretics, sulfonylureas, phenothiazines, sulphonamides, quinolones and tetracyclines), and topical preparations containing 5-ALA for 24 hours during the perioperative period. |
