Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

We plan to enroll 27 prostate cancer patients and divide them into 3 different time-window groups. Intravenous administration will be conducted 12/24/36 hours before surgery. Blood samples will be collected for relevant tests, and fluorescence imaging will be performed during the operation. After surgery, the intraoperative imaging results will be compared with pathological findings to draw relevant conclusions.

Experimental: group 1
DGPR1008 (0.04 mg/kg according to each subject's body weight) was given as a single slow infusion 12 hours (±4 hours) preoperatively, after which radical prostatectomy was performed. The investigator shall conduct near-infrared fluorescence imaging during the operation to assist with the surgery. Tissues detected with fluorescence need to be marked, and resection shall be guided by fluorescence until there is no fluorescent tissue within the surgical field.
