Full description
Photocyanine injection is a type of cyanine compound, which was invented in Fuzhou university by Professor Chen; it's maximum absorption wave is 670 nm. Patients receive intravenous injection of Photocyanine injection, and 24 hours later, patients undergo photodynamic therapy.
Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of Photocyanine Injection and photodynamic therapy until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 1 of 3 patients experiences dose-limiting toxicity. Three additional patients are treated at the MTD.
After completion of study therapy, patients are followed for up to 2 weeks.
