Brief Summary:
There is a need for better visualization of resection margins and detection of small tumor deposits during surgery for pancreatic cancer. Optical molecular imaging of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma associated biomarkers is a promising technique to accommodate this need. The biomarker Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF-A) is overexpressed in pancreatic cancer tissue versus normal tissue and has proven to be a valid target for molecular imaging. VEGF-A can be targeted by the monoclonal antibody bevacizumab. Monoclonal antibodies can be labeled by the near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent dye IRDye800CW (800CW). The investigators hypothesize that bevacizumab-800CW accumulates in VEGF expressing cancer, enabling pancreatic cancer visualization using a NIR intraoperative camera system. In this pilot intervention study the investigators will determine the optimal dosage of bevacizumab-800CW (4,5 10, 25 or 50mg) to detect pancreatic cancer tissue intraoperatively.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Tracer accumulation in tumor tissue vs normal pancreatic tissue assessed by intraoperatively and ex vivo measuring of the mean fluorescent intensity [ Time Frame: up to 6 months ]
    Mean Fluorescent Intensity (MFI) measured in tumor tissue compared to normal pancreatic tissue at macroscopic and microscopic level

  2. Finding optimal dose of Bevacizumab-800CW for intraoperative imaging of pancreatic cancer measured by calculating Target to Background ratios (TBR) [ Time Frame: 3 days after tracer injection ]
    TBR of each dose group assessed by intraoperative imaging as well as ex vivo imaging


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events [ Time Frame: Up to 4 weeks after tracer injection ]
