| Main Objective: The study is composed of two consecutive study steps. Only if Step 1 is successfully completed, Step 2 will be performed. Primary Study Aims: •Step 1: Assessment and quantitative determination of PPIX fluorescence in palpable breast cancer tissues after oral administration of PD L 506 for implementation of the technical setting serving as prerequisite for Step 2. •Step 2: Assessment and quantitative determination of PPIX fluorescence in nonpalpable breast cancer tissue after oral administration of one of two different doses of PD L 506. ;Secondary Objective: •Examination of margins of the instantaneous tumour sections and the surgical cavity using PPIX fluorescence •Assessment of PPIX fluorescence of the sentinel lymph node (SLN) •Assessment of safety and tolerability of study medication ;Primary end point(s): Both Steps: Mean PPIX fluorescence intensity in breast cancer tissue: •Qualitative assessment by the investigator: none/weak/strong •Histological evaluation of breast cancer tissue in comparison with non-malignant tissue with respect to PPIX fluorescence •Photo and video documentation •Determination of PPIX concentration by fluorescence spectrometry | — |
