Conditions

cancer squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx- and hypopharynx

Interventions

Patients will receive an intravenous injection of cRGD-ZW800-1 at least 2h prior to surgery. Standard surgical procedure will be performed. After surgery, FLI will be performed on the wound bed and

Exclusion criteria: - History of a clinically significant allergy or anaphylactic reactions to any of the components of the agent; - Other synchronous biopsy proven malignancies currently active, except for adequately treated in situ carcinomaof cervix and basal or squamous cell skin carcinoma; - Patients pregnant or breastfeeding, lack of effective contraception in male or female patients with reproductivepotential; - Patients with renal insufficiency (defined as eGFR<60); - Patients with previous kidney transplantation or a solitary functioning kidney - Immuno-compromised patients who do not have the ability to respond normally to an infection due to an impairedor weakened immune system, caused by either a pre-existing disease or concomitant medications; - Patients using medications that may significantly impair renal function (i.e. NSAIDs, particularly COX-2inhibitors), that cannot be paused during the course of the study; - Patients with ASA classification of 4 or higher; - Patients with measured QTc of 500 ms or higher at screening; - Patients with laboratory abnormalities defined as: o Aspartate AminoTransferase, Alanine AminoTransferase, Gamma Glutamyl Transferase) or AlkalinePhosphatase levels above 5 times the ULN or; o Total bilirubin above 3 times the ULN or; o Platelet count below 100 x 109/L or; o Hemoglobin below 4 mmol/L (females) or below 5 mmol/l (males). - Incapacitated subjects

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The primary study endpoint of WP-1 is the tumor-to-background ratio (TBR) of laryngeal or pharyngeal tumours with fluorescence imaging after cRGD-ZW800-1 administration. The primary endpoint of WP-II is the number of clear resection margins.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Sensitivity, specificity and positive predictive value of FLI; 2. The intraoperative change in surgical management based on FLI; 3. FLI of excised cervical lymph nodes; 4. Influence of previous radiotherapy on the FLI performance; 5. Adverse events and toxicity after intravenous injection with cRGD-ZW800-1;
