The objective of the study is to assess safety of panitumumab-IRDye800 in pediatric patients undergoing brain surgery to remove suspected tumors.
Interventions
DRUG
Panitumumab-IRDye800
Panitumumab-IRDye800 is an imaging agent prepared as a drug-dye compound from panitumumab (Vectibix), a fully-humanized IgG2 monoclonal anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) antibody, and IRDye800CW dye. Panitumumab-IRDye800 delivered intravenous (IV).
DEVICE
Pinpoint-IR9000 endoscopic/handheld device
Novadaq intraoperative camera capable of exciting and detecting near infrared (NIR) dyes. Imaging will be performed on subjects during both during surgery (in vivo) and/or on the resected tissues while at the "back table" in the surgery suite (ex-vivo).
DEVICE
Explorer Air camera
Surgvision intraoperative camera. Imaging will be performed on subjects during both during surgery (in vivo) and/or on the resected tissues while at the "back table" in the surgery suite (ex-vivo).
DEVICE
PDE-NEO-II
Hamamatsu Photonics KK intraoperative camera. Imaging will be performed on subjects during both during surgery (in vivo) and/or on the resected tissues while at the "back table" in the surgery suite (ex-vivo).
Primary outcome measures
Toxicities (related adverse events)
Time frame: 30 days
Adverse events related to the agent or procedure are considered toxicities, and is assessed as the number of Grade 2 or higher adverse events which have been determined to be clinically-significant and definitely, probably, or possibly-related to the study treatment or procedure. The outcome is reported by dose treatment group (cohort) as a number without dispersion.
Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- Subjects with suspected brain tumors undergoing surgical removal as their standard of care will be eligible. These may include subjects status post chemotherapy and/or radiation or subjects who have undergone diagnostic biopsy for their original diagnosis and are felt to be candidates for resection.
- Subjects must be eligible for resection as determined by the operating surgeon.
- Planned standard of care surgery
- Subject age 6 months to 25 years
- Life expectancy of more than 12 weeks
Exclusion criteria
- Received an investigational drug within 30 days prior to first dose of Panitumumab IRDye800
- Myocardial infarction (MI); cerebrovascular accident (CVA); uncontrolled congestive heart failure (CHF); significant liver disease; or unstable angina within 6 months prior to enrollment
- History of infusion reactions to monoclonal antibody therapies
- Pregnant or breastfeeding
- Evidence of QTc prolongation on pretreatment ECG (greater than 440 ms in children 1 8 years or 8 to 18 year old males or greater than 460 ms in infants up to 1 year or 8 to 18 year old females)
- Magnesium, potassium and calcium \< the lower limit of normal per institution normal lab values
- Serum creatinine \> 1.5 times upper reference range
- Other lab values that in the opinion of the primary surgeon would prevent surgical resection
- Subjects receiving Class IA (quinidine, procainamide) or Class III (dofetilide, amiodarone, sotalol) antiarrhythmic agents.
- Subjects with a history or evidence of interstitial pneumonitis or pulmonary fibrosis
- Subjects not deemed to be appropriate candidates for optimal resection of tumor based on location, involvement of eloquent brain, satellite lesions, or other factors not specifically listed here

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
