Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - Intraoperative assessment of positive margins based on fluorescent images. - Off table imaging of surgical specimen directly after excision to identify positive margins based on ex vivo fluorescent images. - Standard histopathological examination to confirm higher fluorescent signals in tumour tissue compared to normal tissue. - Calculating target to background ratios in fluorescence images obtained during and directly after the surgical procedure and fluorescence images obtained during ex vivo analyses in bread loaf slices and in histological slices (BlackBox imaging system, Odyssey scanner, fluorescence microscopy). - Adverse events (AE), serious adverse events (SAE), and suspected unexpected serious adverse reactions (SUSARSs). | — |
