Abstract
Background: Standard surgical techniques result in positive lumpectomy margins 20-40% of the time. These positive margins require surgical re-excision which places significant burden on the healthcare system and patients. The LUM Imaging System consists of a fluorescent drug, a hand-held wide-field detector (LUM Imaging Device) used to image the surgical cavity walls intraoperatively in real-time after the resection of the main lumpectomy specimen, and a proprietary tumor detection algorithm that highlights regions in the tumor bed suspected to contain residual cancer. Methods: The Intraoperative Detection of Residual Cancer in Breast Cancer trial (NCT03321929) is a non-randomized, open-label, multi-site trial. This is a prospective, interventional feasibility study and is a pilot arm to a pivotal study which will further evaluate the safety and efficacy of the LUM Imaging System. This study enrolls women, over the age of 18 and with histologically or cytologically confirmed primary invasive breast cancer (IBC), ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) or a combination of IBC/DCIS undergoing a lumpectomy for their breast malignancy. LUM015, a fluorescent drug, is injected prior to the subject’s lumpectomy procedure. Surgeons perform their standard of care lumpectomy followed by intraoperative imaging of the lumpectomy cavity with the LUM Imaging System. In real-time, the LUM Imaging System highlights areas within the tumor bed that may contain, residual abnormal tumor tissue. Surgeons remove additional tissue based on the guidance of the LUM Imaging System. A maximum of two additional tissue shaves may be obtained. All excised tissue specimens are evaluated by routine pathology and correlated to the output of the LUM Imaging System. Results and Discussion: Sixteen medical centers across the United States enrolled 234 subjects into this study. Preliminary data on 141 subjects has been evaluated. The median age of enrolled women undergoing surgery using the Lumicell system was 61 years old. The histology of tumor type in women evaluated in this analysis is representative of the general population, with 21% diagnosed with ductal carcinoma in-situ (DCIS), 11% diagnosed with invasive lobular carcinoma, and 64% diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma (with or without DCIS features present). Most women (71%) presented with a palpable mass on physical examination prior to their lumpectomy surgery. Radiological imaging prior to lumpectomy showed scattered areas of fibroglandular density in 49% of the enrolled subjects and heterogeneously dense breast tissue in 42% of the enrolled subjects. The use of the LUM Imaging System positively impacted enrolled subjects; approximately 10% of subjects (N=14) had residual tumor detected and removed from the tumor bed guided by the LUM Imaging System after the standard of care surgery was completed. Without the use of this guidance technology, tumor tissue would have been left behind in this cohort of subjects, potentially requiring additional surgical intervention or other therapy, or local recurrence. The mean absolute volume of tissue removed due to guidance by the Lumicell System was 15 cc corresponding to about 15% of the total tissue removed. The LUM Imaging System correctly identified all positive margins in 28% of subjects with a positive margin after standard of care, and directed excision of additional tissue to create a wider margin. 12% of the patients with positive margins were converted to a negative margin by removing additional tissue guided by this imaging system. Future studies are planned that will measure the sensitivity and specificity of the device.
