PHASE2

Bevonescein for Improved Intraoperative Nerve Visualization to Improve Voice Outcomes in Thyroidectomy Patients

Sponsor: Matthew Spector

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

Bevonescein (ALM-488) is a novel fluorescein-containing peptide that is intended as a visualization adjunct for the real-time enhanced structural delineation of major nerves during Head and Neck surgery to potentially improve patient outcomes.

Bevonescein (ALM 488) Infusion

Bevonescein is a synthetic peptide of 17 amino acids conjugated to a fluorescein derivative (5-carboxyfluorescein \[FAM\]) and can be visualized using instruments suitable for visualizing fluorescein. Bevonescein selectively binds to extracellular matrix of nerve tissue, increasing nerve visibility and enhancing structure delineation of nerve tissue, potentially reducing the time needed for surgeons to identify nerve tissue and reducing likelihood of nerve injury during thyroidectomy surgery.
