Sumario:The fluorescent imaging agent IS-001 was determined to be well tolerated in all subjects and has the potential to provide ureter visualization throughout minimally invasive hysterectomy procedures. This study was conducted to evaluate clinical safety and efficacy of a real-time ureter visualization technique for use during hysterectomy surgery. The study drug appears safe, is renally excreted, and allows enhanced ureter visualization when imaged with a clinically approved near-infrared sensitive endoscope. This is a first-in-human study showing preliminary results that the drug is safe and effective during surgery for improved ureter visualization.
