University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG)

Status and phase: Completed; Phase 2; Phase 1

Funder types: Other

Identifiers

NCT02583568

NL52447.042.15

Details and patient eligibility

About

A need for further investigation for fluorescence image-guided surgery in breast conserving surgery (BCS) has arisen following the results obtained from a phase I feasibility breast cancer trial (BIRDYE study: ABR NL 37479.042011). The aim of this study is to define the optimal dose of the fluorescent tracer Bevacizumab-IRDye800CW for intraoperative delineation of breast cancer tissue using the improved and optimized fluorescent tracer and camera system.

Enrollment: 26 patients

Sex: Female

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers
