This in-human proof-of-principle nonrandomized controlled trial demonstrated SGM-101 localization to CEACAM5-positive tumors with the detection of real-time near-infrared fluorescence in situ, ex vivo, and by immunofluorescence microscopy. These findings suggest that SGM-101 is a safe, receptor-specific, and feasible intraoperative molecular imaging fluorochrome that should be further evaluated in randomized clinical trials.
