Overview

Assess the sensitivity of real-time near-infrared fluorescence imaging to detect microscopic residual disease in the operating room after a complete macroscopic surgical resection of head and neck cancers

Interventions

  • Drug indocyanine green
    indocyanine green (INFRACYANINE© 25mg/10mL).

Primary outcome measures

  • Sensitivity of Near Infrared Fluorescence Imaging [Time frame: at surgery]

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion criteria

  • Male or female 18 years of age or older
  • ECOG performance status 0-2
  • Histological confirmation of squamous cell carcinoma
  • Locating the primary tumour in the oral cavity or oropharynx
  • Disease operable for complete resection
  • Serum or urinary pregnancy test (as per centre practices) negative within 14 days prior to systemic indocyanin green injection (pre-operative visit), for women of childbearing age
  • Patient information and signed free and informed consent
  • Patient affiliated with a social security scheme or beneficiary of a similar scheme.
  • The patient must understand, sign and date the consent form prior to any protocol-specific procedures. The patient must be able and willing to comply with the study visits and procedures described in the protocol

Exclusion criteria

  • Severe medical co-morbidities or contraindications to surgery
  • Primary tumour not operable
  • History of head and neck cancer in the past 5 years
  • History of radiation for head and neck cancer
  • Metastatic cancer
  • Tumours with necrosis ranges in pre-operative imaging
  • History of invasive cancer unless there has been no recurrence for more than 5 years with an exception for non-melanoma skin cancers.
  • Pregnant or nursing woman
  • Allergy or hypersensitivity to the product being administered (its active substance or other ingredients), iodized products or crustaceans.
  • Hyperthyroidism, thyroid adenoma, unifocal, multifocal or multinodular goiter of autoimmune origin.
  • Documented coronary artery disease
  • Advanced renal failure (creatinine > 1.5mg/dL).
  • Within 2 weeks prior to inclusion, concomitant medication that reduces or increases extinction of GI (i.e. anticonvulsants, haloperidol and Heparin).
  • Patient under guardianship or curatorship or deprived of liberty by judicial or administrative decision or patient unable to give consent.
  • Patients unable to undergo medical follow-up of the trial
