Brief summary:
This study evaluates how well panitumumab-IRDye800 and 89Zr-panitumumab work in identifying cancer that has spread to the lymph nodes in patients with squamous cell head and neck cancer. Panitumumab-IRDye800 is a drug that contains a dye molecule that fluoresces during surgery to indicate cancerous tissue. 89Zr-panitumumab is a drug that contains a small amount of radiation, which makes it visible in positron emission tomography (PET) scans. PET scans make detailed, computerized pictures of areas inside the body where the drug is used. Giving panitumumab-IRDye800 and 89Zr-panitumumab to patients with head and neck cancer may help doctors find metastatic lymph nodes better than current methods \[positron emission tomography (PET); computed tomography (CT); magnetic imaging resonance (MRI), or combinations\].

Detailed description:
For patients with head and neck cancer, detection of malignant cells within nearby lymph nodes (LNs) is an important measure of the extent and severity of the cancer. LNs are a key immunologic organ involved in overall immune surveillance. Historically, LN or LNs were harvested before the surgery of curative intent, evaluated pathologically, and then tumor status of the harvested LNs were utilized to inform the individual surgical plan. These LNs became known as "sentinel lymph nodes." In recent years, techniques have been developed to utilize peritumoral injection (around the tumor) of tumor labels that could identify tumor in the LNs without biopsy, ie, only LNs that were tumor-positive would be removed. However, in some patients, this technique could be limited by the location of the primary cancer. Effective and sensitive systemically-administered labels would be a significant advancement. The systemically-administered label 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG), detected by positron emission tomography / computed tomography (PET/CT) and/or PET / magnetic imaging resonance (PET/MRI) radiologic scans and representing current regular medical care, has provided improvement in detection of cancer-positive LNs. However, further enhancements may be possible.

Participants with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) and scheduled to undergo regular medical care surgery with curative intent, were assigned to 2 study groups on the basis of whether regular medical care scans using 18F-FDG PET/CT or PET/MRI had indicated that cancer was suspected in the lymph nodes (LN+ or cN+), or without suspected cancer in the lymph nodes (LN- or cN0). Following the 18F-FDG, and prior to surgery, 89Zr-panitumumab was systemically administered by intravenous infusion, and a PET-CT imaging scan was conducted. Research imaging will be performed intraoperatively using optical imaging devices and a high-energy gamma probe. Subsequently, the excised tissue will evaluated ex vivo (back table) using radioactive (89Zr-panitumumab) and fluorescence (panitumumab-IRDye800) imaging techniques. Regular medical care surgical excision of the tumor and adjacent LN was conducted on Day 2 to 5. After surgery, patients are followed up at 15 and 30 days.

on expected half-life of panitumumab-IRdye800. Imaging will be performed 
intraoperatively using the optical imaging devices listed in Appendix B and the 
89Zr-detecting/imaging devices listed in Appendix C. The oncologic surgery will be

PRIMARY 
OBJECTIVE(S) 
Determine the sensitivity and specificity of 89Zr-panitumumab for the detection of 
tumor-involved regional lymph nodes. 
As defined by histological and/or pathological evaluation (gold standard), the total number 
of tumor-positive nodes will be determined and correlated to the radiologically-suspicious 
nodes identified by 89Zr-panitumumab and 18F-FDG contrast agents using PET/CT and/or 
PET/MRI imaging. The specificity and sensitivity of 89Zr-panitumumab will be calculated 
and compared to the specificity and sensitivity of 18F-FDG for metastatic lymph node 
identification. 
SECONDARY 
OBJECTIVE(S) 
Determine the number (proportion) of lymph nodes determined to be tumor-positive by 
histological and/or pathological evaluation that were NOT predicted tumor-positive by 
89Zr-panitumumab.  
As defined by histological and/or pathological evaluation (gold standard), the total number 
of tumor-positive nodes will be determined and compared to the 89Zr-panitumumab and 
18F-FDG-PET/CT and/or -PET/MRI imaging findings. We will compare the odds of a false 
negative using 89Zr-panitumumab-PET relative to the odds of a false negative using a 
18F-FDG-PET and compare their respective negative predictive values.

EXPLORATORY 
OBJECTIVE(S) 
 
Determine the sensitivity and specificity of panitumumab-IRDye800 for the detection 
of tumor-involved regional lymph nodes. 
After isolation of lymph nodes from the specimen in the pathology lab, lymph node 
fluorescence will be measured prior to histological and/or pathological evaluation 
(gold standard). Sensitivity and specificity will be calculated by comparison of 
fluorescence intensity to histological and/or pathological evaluation (gold standard). 
Results will be compared to the sensitivity and specificity of 89Zr-panitumumab and 
18F-FDG (primary objective).  
 
Determine the number (proportion) 
of lymph nodes determined to 
be 
tumor-positive by histological and/or pathological evaluation that were NOT 
predicted tumor-positive by panitumumab-Irdye800.  
We will compare the odds of a false negative using fluorescence imaging of 
panitumumab-IRDye800 to the odds of a false negative using 89Zr-panitumumab-PET 
and 18F-FDG-PET and compare the negative predictive values. Additionally, we will test 
the association of the panitumumab-Irdye800 results to 89Zr-panitumumab-PET and 
18F-FDG-PET results with the Phi coefficient. 
SAMPLE SIZE AND 
DURATION 
OF 
STUDY 
It is anticipated that 14 subjects will be enrolled into the study. Safety data and adverse 
events will be reported at 15 days after the last subject receives the infusion, which is in 
excess of 4-fold the half-life of the largest dose of pantimumab-IRDye800 (2.3 days) and of 
the half-life of 89Zr-panitumumab (3.3 days). Each subject will be followed for 30 days 
following the last dose of study medication. 
  
It is anticipated that the study will require 12 to 18 months to be completed.   
STATISTICAL 
CONSIDERA-TIONS 
General analysis tools  
All specimens from both cohorts will be pooled for the primary and secondary analyses. 
We will use the matched pair Durkalski’s test that accounts for the correlation of multiple 
specimens per patent, to compare the specificity and sensitivity of 89Zr-panitumumab-PET 
to 18F-FDG-PET. We will compare the odds of a false negative with 89Zr-panitumumab-PET 
relative to the odds of obtaining a false negative with 18F-FDG-PET.  
 
Approach to drawing statistical inference  
Significance for all tests will be assessed at the 0.05 level and 95% confidence intervals will 
be reported and interpreted. 
 
Descriptive statistics 
We will present means and standard deviations (or medians and interquartile ranges when 
appropriate) for continuous characteristics such as maximum standard uptake values 
(SUVmax) as determined with 89Zr-panitumumab-PET and 18F-FDG-PET and radioactivity 
counts of 89Zr-panitumumab in the node(s) as determined with the PET probe, and 
tumor-to-background ratios (TBRs) and mean florescence intensity (MFI) for 
panitumumab-Irdye800. For categorical variables such as drainage pattern and number of 
lymph nodes visualized, we will present frequency statistics. Graphical tools such as heat 
maps, histograms, and boxplots will be used to assess distributional properties of 
continuous variables. We will illustrate the nature of the relationship between 
SUVmax/radioactivity counts and/or MFI/TBRs and/or drainage pattern across all subjects, 
the relationship will be illustrated with a heat map and spaghetti plot. When appropriate, 
transformations – including a log-based transformation – may be considered to stabilize 
variance.

SCHEMA 
Figure 1. Study overview. 
 
Study plan. The study is an open label, single institution, pilot study to determine the distribution 
pattern of 89Zr-panitumumab and panitumumab-IRDye800 in subjects with head and neck squamous cell 
carcinoma (HNSCC) that undergo surgery with lymphadenectomy of curative intent. 30 mg of 
panitumumab-IRDye800 will be administered 1-5 days prior to surgery, intravenous (IV) over 15 min 
followed by an observation period of 30 min. 89Zr-panitumumab will be systemically injected at a dose of 
1.0 mCi +/- 20%, and with a specific activity greater than 200 Ci/mmol at the time of injection. The 
injected mass dose is less than or equal to 1 mg (7 nmol); the subject will be monitored for 1 hour 
post-administration. If at any point two subjects in a cohort experience a DLT, then the study will stop 
and safety data will be reviewed. The medical monitor and safety review will occur independently. 
 
There will be 7 subjects enrolled into each cohort (total of 14 subjects in the study) whereby, based on 
the preoperative work-up, including a physical exam and evaluation of the pre-existing imaging data, 
subjects will be assigned to the node negative or node positive group. 
 
Rationale for the two cohorts. To ensure the inclusion of sufficient subjects with clinically positive 
lymph nodes, we created a cohort structure. Including both node-positive and node-negative subjects 
will ensure that we will have tumor-positive nodes when performing the data analysis. Moreover, by 
analyzing data from node-positive subjects it will become possible to assess if, in case large lymph node 
metastasis are present, the tracer(s) can still reach the node or if rerouting (a phenomenon known to 
happen in sentinel node mapping, i.e., drainage to a “false” sentinel node occurs because the “true” 
sentinel node cannot be reached). As shown in the study schema, all subjects regardless if enrolled in 
cohort 1 or 2, will undergo the same treatment, and upon data collection statistical analysis will be 
performed with the pooled data.

OBJECTIVES 
1.1. 
Primary Objective 
 
Determine the sensitivity and specificity of 89Zr-panitumumab for the detection of tumor-involved 
regional lymph nodes. 
As defined by histological and/or pathological evaluation (gold standard), the total number of 
tumor-positive nodes will be determined for both 89Zr-panitumumab and 18F-FDG-PET imaging findings. 
The specificity and sensitivity of 89Zr-panitumumab will be calculated and compared to the specificity 
and sensitivity of 18F-FDG for metastatic lymph node identification. Additionally, we will determine the 
level of association between the 89Zr-panitumumab-PET results and 18F-FDG-PET results with the Phi 
coefficient. 
 
1.2. 
Secondary Objective  
Determine the number (proportion) of lymph nodes determined to be tumor-positive by histological 
and/or pathological evaluation that were NOT predicted tumor-positive by 89Zr-panitumumab 
labeling.  
We will calculate the odds of a false negative using 89Zr-panitumumab-PET relative to the odds of a false 
negative using a 18F-FDG-PET and compare the negative predictive values of 89Zr-panitumumab-PET and 
18F-FDG-PET. 
 
1.3. 
Exploratory Objectives  
 
Determine the sensitivity and specificity of panitumumab-IRDye800 for the detection of 
tumor-involved regional lymph nodes. 
After isolation of lymph nodes from the specimen in the pathology lab, lymph node fluorescence will 
be measured prior to histological and/or pathological evaluation (gold standard). Sensitivity and 
specificity will be generated by comparison of fluorescence intensity and histological and/or 
pathological evaluation (gold standard). Findings will furthermore be compared to the sensitivity and 
specificity of 89Zr-panitumumab and 18F-FDG (primary objective). 
 
Determine the number (proportion) of lymph nodes determined to be tumor-positive by 
histological and/or pathological evaluation that were NOT predicted tumor-positive by 
panitumumab-Irdye800 labeling.  
We will measure the level of association between panitumumab-IRDye800 results and 
89Zr-panitumumab-PET and 18F-FDG-PET results with the Phi coefficient.  
 
Dosimetry 
In a subset of 3-5 subjects, dosimetry data will be collected to determine the toxicity of 
89Zr-panitumumab to the organs.  
 
NOTE:  It is planned that exploratory objectives will only be reported in publication(s), if any, but not on 
ClinicalTrials.gov. 
 
 
2. 
BACKGROUND 
The most important determinant of survival for many cancer types is the presence of lymph node 
metastasis (1–3). In head and neck cancer, nodal metastases reduce 5-year survival to half, regardless of 
the primary tumor T stage (2–4). Likewise, regional metastases to axillary nodes in breast cancer 
decreases 5-year survival by approximately one-third (5). Although nodal disease can often be detected 
on routine physical exam or anatomic imaging with or without metabolic imaging, there are many cases 
where clinical and radiographic exams are negative, but microscopic disease is identified within the 


 
IRB-41878 / ENT0066 
Page 13 of 51 
19 August 2021 
primary nodal basin. This finding dramatically changes the diagnosis, and as a result, great effort is taken 
to harvest the first echelon lymph node(s) during removal of the primary tumor. When metastatic 
disease is too small to be detected preoperatively, this leads to down staging and under treatment. 
 
Complete nodal dissection causes significant morbidity. The gold standard for detection of regional 
metastatic disease in HNSCC traditionally has been a regional nodal dissection that is associated with 
shoulder dysfunction and pain due to accessory nerve (cranial nerve XI) injury being common after neck 
dissection (6–9). Moreover, 60% to 80% of subjects undergoing a neck dissection with sectioning of the 
nerve have pain, limited abduction of the shoulder, and anatomic deformities such as scapular flaring, 
droop, and protraction (10). To reduce morbidity, there has been a gradual migration away from 
extensive dissection to more limited dissection offered by sentinel node biopsy where only the primary 
tumor draining lymph node(s) are removed for detailed histologic examination (5,11–14). Where 
sentinel node biopsy has already displaced regional lymphadenectomy in melanoma and breast surgery 
to avoid the associated deficits associated with this more aggressive approach, it is now also advocated 
for HNSCC (NCCN guidelines, version 1, 2017/2018).  
 
Sentinel lymph node biopsy is performed as a surgical staging method to detect occult nodal disease in 
those tumor types with a high metastatic rate and where lymph node disease predicts outcome and 
informs adjuvant treatment decisions. The premise of sentinel node surgery is that regional metastasis 
from the primary tumor occurs through drainage of lymphatics to a single (or several) lymph nodes that 
can only be defined by mapping at the time of surgery. Sentinel node mapping occurs by local 
radiotracer or blue dye injection surrounding the primary tumor, thereby identifying the natural 
lymphatic drainage pattern from the primary tumor directly to the sentinel node(s). Sentinel nodes 
undergo aggressive histopathologic exam to assess for micro- or macro-metastatic disease. 
 
Meta-analysis of sentinel node dissection in breast cancer, head and neck cancer, and melanoma have 
validated the accuracy of sentinel node biopsy in predicting occult lymph node metastasis (5,14–16), 
with a sensitivity of 91% (9) and a 3 to 10% false-negative rate. The false-negative rate can be due to 
poor injection technique or not anticipating the full extent of disease during injection, but the rerouting 
and skip metastasis phenomenon’s have been postulated here as well (17–19). Moreover, although 
sentinel node mapping is superior to radiographic and clinical exam, it is still limited by the need for 
direct injection of the dye or radiolabeled compound. Upstaging with sentinel node assessment can 
thus only be assessed in tumor types that are accessible for local injection. This is significant because it 
influences standard of care (sentinel node surgery or complete lymphadenectomy) in these subject 
populations only. Identification of regional disease will inform prognostic information and/or determine 
the need and extent of adjuvant therapies for additional tumor types. Most importantly however, 
remains the fact that both lymphadenectomy and sentinel node biopsy do not allow for intraoperative 
lymph node staging. In both cases, post-operative (histo-) pathological evaluation is required to 
determine whether or not lymph node metastasis were present in the regional lymph node basin(s). 
Thus, HNSCC patients would benefit from an alternative technique that, ideally, allows for both 
preoperative as well as intraoperative lymph node staging. 
 
Fluorescently labeled antibodies are currently used to target and visualize tumor cells 
intra-operatively. The safety and efficacy of cetuximab-IRDye800 were evaluated in the phase 1 clinical 
trial entitled “Open-label Study Evaluating the Safety and Pharmacokinetics of Escalating Doses of 
cetuximab-IRDye800 as an Optical Imaging Agent to Detect Cancer During Surgical Procedures,” 
(incorporated to IND by cross-reference). A second phase 1 clinical trial is currently in progress, and is 
entitled “Open-label Study Evaluating the Safety and Pharmacokinetics of Escalating Doses of 


 
IRB-41878 / ENT0066 
Page 14 of 51 
19 August 2021 
Panitumumab-IRDye800 as an Optical Imaging Agent to Detect Head and Neck Cancer During Surgical 
Procedures” (IRB-35064, incorporated to IND by cross-reference).  
 
This clinical trial is proposed to determine if a systemic injection of tracer labeled antibody will 
specifically accumulate in tumor containing lymph nodes to enhance identification. If successful, we 
will leverage existing technologies, PET and fluorescently labeled antibodies, in order to expand regional 
lymph node assessment to cancer types where direct injection is not possible. 
 
2.1 
Study Disease 
This study is being performed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Because the standard 
of care in this setting is currently complete lymphadenectomy, our proposed method will allow direct 
comparison with conventional lymphadenectomy and thus calculation of false positive and negative 
rates, sensitivity and specificity. Potential expansion to other cancer types not readily accessible for 
tracer injection, e.g., ovarian, uterine, and pancreatic cancer, are possible after showing the feasibility 
and validity of the approach in this study. 
 
2.2  
Study Agents 
The study agents for this trial are 89Zr-panitumumab and panitumumab-IRDye800.  
 
2.2.1 
89Zr-panitumumab  
89Zr-panitumumab is a conjugate of 89Zr, the radioactive isotope of zirconium (Zr), and panitumumab, 
the fully-humanized anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (anti-EGFR) IgG2 monoclonal antibody 
approved by FDA as Vectibix. The approved single agent indication for Vectibix is treatment of 
metastatic colorectal carcinoma with disease progression. See Section 5.1.1 for more information. 
 
2.2.2 
Panitumumab-IRDye800  
Panitumumab-IRDye800 is a conjugate of panitumumab and IRDye® 800CW N-hydroxysuccinimide 
(NHS) ester infrared dye (LI-COR Biosciences, Inc., Lincoln, NE). See Section 5.1.2 for more information 
regarding panitumumab-IRDye800. 
 
2.3 
Rationale 
Overall Impact of proposed studies on surgical oncology 
Upstaging with sentinel node assessment has only been assessed in tumor where the tumors are 
accessible for local injection. We plan to determine if additional tumor types are amenable to regional 
lymph node staging after systemic injection of tracer labeled antibody. Identification of a novel lymph 
node detection methodology has the potential to 1) increase the sensitivity and decrease the false 
negative rate by avoiding the variability of direct injection; and 2) allow study of lymph nodes within 
non-superficial cancer types that are known to metastasize such as prostate, ovarian, uterine, lung and 
pancreatic cancers.  
 
Although this study assesses an EGFR-directed antibody, this work, if successful, would have implications 
for any large protein-based imaging strategy. Currently, at least 12 such trials exist on ClinicalTrials.gov.

The methodology of this study and future studies could dramatically improve the standard of care in 
the following ways: 
1)  Non-invasive detection of subclinical disease may allow improved subject selection for surgery as 
well as provide the surgeon with a roadmap for planning the surgical procedure.  
2)  Detect subclinical disease in the operating room at the time of resection:  Accurate identification 
of nodes may identify metastasis not detected by PET, and early identification of metastasis will 
improve survival. 
3)  Real time feedback provided the radioactive and fluorescence signatures of the tracers:  Combined 
use could ultimately improve both the sensitivity and specificity of metastatic cancer detection and 
the ability to accurately resect it. 
4)  Reduction of surgery time:  Although outside the scope of this study, successful identification of 
nodes in the clinic may reduce surgery time by reducing the need for complete nodal resection, 
reducing surgery time by up to 40 minutes. This might reduce the time subject is in surgery, and the 
cost of the surgery. 
5)  Increased survival rate:  Replacing complete nodal resection as the standard of care with 
tumor-directed node resection might decrease the negative effects that accompany complete 
resection, and might also improve survival rate.  
6)  This 
is 
the 
first-in-human 
dual 
modality 
study 
involving 
89Zr-panitumumab 
and 
panitumumab-IRDye800 for regional lymph node staging specifically focusing on the identification of 
tumor-loaded lymph nodes. However, promising results might lead to expansion of this 
methodology to use in other cancer types. Intravenous injection of antibody-labeled radiotracers 
would allow regional lymph node staging in other cancer types where local injection is not possible. 
This would tremendously broaden the application to those indications for which lymph node staging 
is considered of great prognostic value (eg, gynecological, urological).  
 
2.4 
Study Design 
For clinicaltrials.gov and Stanford Clinical Trials Directory compliance: 
 
The primary purpose for the protocol is to develop a universal lymph node detection strategy. 
This study evaluates if systemic injections of 
89Zr-panitumumab in conjunction with 
pantitumumab-IRDye800 can be used to identify tumor-loaded lymph nodes to expand the 
capabilities of non-invasive and intraoperative cancer imaging. 
 
The interventional model is Sequential. 
 
There are 2 cohorts. Both cohorts will receive the same treatment  
 
The study is open-label. No masking is used. 
 
The study is non-randomized. 
 
The primary outcome is the number (proportion) of lymph nodes determined to be 
tumor-positive by histological and/or pathological evaluation that were predicted to be 
tumor-positive by 89Zr-panitumumab PET/CT imaging. 
 
The secondary outcome is the number (proportion) of lymph nodes determined to be 
tumor-positive by histological and/or pathological evaluation that were NOT predicted 
tumor-positive by 89Zr-panitumumab PET/CT imaging.  
 
The study is an open-label pilot study to determine the efficacy of 89Zr-panitumumab in tumor-loaded 
node detection in subjects with HNSCC that undergo surgery with curative intent.  It is anticipated that 
14 subjects will be enrolled into the study. Subjects will be enrolled to the node negative (no suspicion 
of tumor-positive lymph nodes in the neck; cN0) or node positive (suspicion of tumor-positive lymph 


 
IRB-41878 / ENT0066

19 August 2021 
nodes in the neck; cN+) group based on the preoperative work-up, which includes a physical exam and 
evaluation of the pre-existing imaging data. 
 
All subjects will receive a dose of 30 mg panitumumab-IRDye800. Subjects will subsequently receive 
1 mCi +/- 20% of 89Zr-panitumumab. If at any point after infusion, 2 subjects experience a DLT (Grade 2 
or greater toxicity), then the study will stop, and safety data will be reviewed.  
 
The known rate of infusion reactions of panitumumab is 1% (package insert); therefore, we expect a DLT 
rate of approximately 1% or higher with panitumumab-IRDye800 or 89Zr-panitumumab. The probability 
of observing two or more DLTs within a 10-subject cohort (requiring stopping the study) is 0.4%; if the 
DLT rate is as high as 5%, the probability of 2 or more DLT is 8.6%.  
 
For an overview of the proposed study, see Study Schema (page 9), and the dosing schedule below. 
Briefly, subjects will undergo 18F-FDG-PET prior to study enrollment, as is standard of care. 
Administration of panitumumab-IRDye800 will occur by IV over 15 minutes, followed by a 30-minute 
observation period. Administration of 89Zr-panitumumab will occur by IV, per radioactive drugs 
administration policies. The subjects will be observed for 1 hour following the 89Zr-panitumumab 
injection.  
 
After infusion of study agents on Day 0, subjects will undergo 89Zr-panitumumab PET/CT imaging. One 
scan will be performed at any time starting on Day 0 (after end of observation period post 
89Zr-panitumumab administration) and until the day before surgery (inclusive). Subjects enrolled in the 
dosimetry sub-study will undergo three scans, performed at any time starting on Day 0 (after end of 
observation period post 89Zr-panitumumab administration) and until the day before surgery. If available, 
the scans will be performed on Day 0, Day 1 and on the day before surgery.  
 
Subjects will undergo surgical resection 2-5 days after infusion of study drugs.  Imaging will be 
performed intraoperatively using a novel beta probe and/or high-energy gamma probe (see Appendix C 
for a list of devices) and the optical imaging devices (see Appendix B for a list of devices), to assess the 
tumor and lymph node(s) prior to resection, and the wound bed after surgical removal. The surgery will 
be conducted in the standard of care, and the surgeon will not use the imaging data to make decisions.  
 
Ex vivo, imaging of the specimens prior to pathological assessment will be performed using non-invasive 
imaging modalities that do not violate or destroy the tissue. These may include beta probe and/or 
high-energy gamma probe, an open-field imaging system, a closed-field imaging system and a 
fluorescence flatbed scanning device (see Appendix B and C for a list of devices). Additionally, a closed 
Cherenkov imaging system may be used to image the specimen after removal (see Appendix C). 
Methods have been described in detail in the literature (20–25).

Outcome measures to answer the primary and secondary objectives set: 
Preoperative data: 
1. Collect safety data on tracer-infusion. 
2. The number and location of 18F-FDG-PET positive nodes. 
3. The number and location of 89Zr-panitumumab-PET positive nodes. 
 
Intraoperative data: 
4. The number and location of 89Zr-panitumumab-PET positive nodes.  
5. The number and location of panitumumab-IRDye800 positive nodes.  
 
Post-operative data: 
6. Collect safety data in follow-up (up to 30 days post-infusion). 
a. This includes tests and observations to identify both acute and late-treatment specific 
toxicity: vital signs; physical exam; toxicity grading; assignment of performance status; 
hematology; and blood chemistries (basic metabolic profile to include magnesium and 
phosphorus).  NCI Common Toxicity Criteria v5.0 will be used for grading of toxicity. 
7. Determine ex vivo fluorescence imaging information on panitumumab-IRDye800 (method 
described previously in (21)).  
8. Determine the histo-pathological status of the primary tumor. 
9. Determine the histo-pathological status of the lymph nodes: tumor-positive (isolated tumor 
cells, micro- or macro-metastasis) or tumor-negative.  
10. Determine, using immunohistochemistry, on the surgically excised tissue specimens:  
a. Tumor tissue viability 
b. EGFR expression 
c. Vessel density 
We have previously described the methods for analysis in (26).  
 
For qualification and quantification of the fluorescence signal and the radioactive signal, we follow the 
following rules: 
- 
Intraoperative fluorescence assessment of panitumumab-IRDye800:  
There will be no set level of fluorescence whereby we consider tissue positive or negative; it is based 
on operator’s impression.  
- 
Ex vivo fluorescence assessment of panitumumab-IRDye800: 
From the fluorescence images taken in the operation room, we will calculate tumor-to-background 
ratios (TBRs) as such to define a more quantitative read-out (similar to as described in the IRB-35064 
study). Based on the current data available from our IRB-35064, in our 50 mg cohort, we found an 
average TBR of 6.53±1.2, a sensitivity of 89±5.1%, a specificity of 92±3.5% (AUC: 0.93±0.05). The 
NPV and PPV were 94±2.8% and 92±9.5%, respectively. We will extrapolate these findings to the 
current study to further validate the findings from our phase I study (IRB-35064).   
- 
Radioactive assessment of 89Zr-panitumumab: 
Following the standard of care evaluation of PET/CT scans, maximum standard uptake values 
(SUVmax) will be calculated for the accumulation of 89Zr-panitumumab in tumor tissue and/or lymph 
nodes. As background reading, the SUVmax of the mediastinum will be determined.  
Tentative cutoff for ‘imaging positive’: an SUVmax value of the lymph nodes of minimally 1.4x the 
background (mediastinum). In all cases, (histo-) pathology serves as the gold standard for “true” 
positive / negative lymph nodes. Subsequently a ROC curve will be generated whereby we will select 


 
IRB-41878 / ENT0066 
Page 18 of 51 
19 August 2021 
the point of highest specificity and sensitivity and from there we will determine if our tentative 
cutoff was valid or if we need to adjust.  
- 
Comparison fluorescence and radioactivity-based findings: 
All tissues that will be excised during surgery will be evaluated for the presence of radioactivity and 
fluorescence and scored as such being positive / negative. Evaluated tissues are either 1) fluorescent 
only; 2) radioactive only; 3) both radioactive and fluorescent; or 4) neither radioactive nor 
fluorescent. This will be done quantitatively (Y/N approach) and qualitatively (see above). 
o Because the antibody is the same, only the label (IRDye800 or 89-Zr) differs, we expect that 
tissue samples that are radioactive are also fluorescent and vice versa. However, this is 
something that will be investigated in this study.    
 
Statistical considerations are described in detail in Section 11.  
 
Dosimetry 
Previously, for the antibody trastuzumab, it has been shown that when giving a pre-dose of cold (i.e. not 
radiolabeled) trastuzumab, prior to giving the radiopharmaceutical, the toxicity to the liver (and other 
organs) was found to be significantly lower resulting in the ability to go up on the dose of the 
radiopharmaceutical given, improving the preoperative image quality. For 89Zr-panitumumab, there is 
little data on dosimetry. At the moment one publication reporting on data in 3 patients (28) whereby it 
was shown that upon giving a ~1 mCi dose, there’s relative high toxicity to the organs, in particular the 
liver (28).  
 
In our current study, in a subset of 3-5 subjects we will collect dosimetry data by assessing the 
biodistribution of 89Zr-panitumumab over time as such to determine the toxicity of 89Zr-panitumumab to 
the organs. To obtain dosimetry data, at various time points after injection of 89Zr-panitumumab, PET/CT 
scans are to be acquired. The minimum number of PET/CT scans needed is three.  
 
For the current study, these three PET/CT scans will be obtained between the end of observation period 
after the 89Zr-panitumumab infusion on Day 0 and the day before surgery (inclusive). If available, the 
scans will be performed on Day 0, Day 1 and on the day before surgery.  
 
For each patient, on the acquired PET/CT scans, volumes of interest (VOIs) will be drawn around the 
organs, tumor and lymph nodes. Subsequently, the total activity in each VOI will be recorded in units 
of Becquerel (Bq). Time activity curves (TACs) will be generated and then integrated to obtain the 
number of disintegrations (NDs) in each region. Hereafter the data will be loaded into dedicated 
software (e.g., OLINDA/EXM code (version 1.1.) after which the absorbed dose (in mGy/MBq) to each 
VOI can be determined. The internal dosimetry calculation model will be implemented following the 
Committee on Medical Internal Radiation Dose (MIRD) guidelines.

TREATMENT PLAN 
4.1 
Treatment Schedule 
This study will assess a microdose of 89Zr-panitumumab and an imaging dose of panitumumab-IRDye800 
in 14 subjects. The study drugs will be administered on Day 0, and subjects will undergo one 
89Zr-panitumumab PET/CT imaging anytime starting on Day 0 and the Day before Surgery (inclusive).

Page 20 of 51 
19 August 2021 
Subjects enrolled in the dosimetry sub-study will undergo imaging  anytime starting on Day 0 and until 
the day before surgery (inclusive), for a total of three scans; if available, the scans will be performed on 
Day 0, Day 1 and on the day before surgery.  
 
Subjects will undergo surgical resection at 2 to 5 days after infusion of study drug (see Table 1). 
Intraoperative and post-operative imaging data will be collected to answer the study objectives. The 
study will be stopped if any 2 subjects experience a DLT of grade 2 or higher that is likely to be related to 
the study drugs administered.    
 
4.2 
Administration of study agents 
Panitumumab-IRDye800 
Administration of panitumumab-IRDye800 will be performed consistent with institutional policy. The 
solution will be diluted to a total volume of 100 mL with 0.9% sodium chloride injection, USP. Dosage 
level will be 30 mg panitumumab-IRDye800 (< 1/12 of a therapeutic dose of panitumumab). 
Administration of panitumumab-IRDye800 will occur by IV over 15 minutes followed by a 30-minute 
observation period. Additional treatment for infusion reactions and electrolyte imbalances will be given 
as per institutional policy, if needed. 
 
89Zr-panitumumab 
After infusion of the panitumumab-IRDye800 the subject will receive the prescribed injection of 
89Zr-panitumumab. Approximately 75 MBq (2 mCi) of 89Zr will be conjugated with panitumumab 
antibody. The dosage will be <1 mg 89Zr-panitumumab (< 1% of a therapeutic dose of panitumumab). 
The 89Zr-panitumumab will be systemically injected via IV with a dose of 1 mCi (+/- 20%).  Subjects will 
be observed for 1 hour after administration. Additional treatment for infusion reactions and electrolyte 
imbalances will be given as per institutional policy, if needed. Staff will be trained to handle the amounts 
of radioactive material represented by 89Zr-panitumumab. The appropriate equipment will be used to 
administer and transport the 89Zr-panitumumab. 
 
A low-dose CT will be obtained from vertex to toes; this will use 120 kV and dose modulation based on 
body habitus, ranging 10-105 mA. This will be followed by a static PET emission scan over the same area. 
 
All infusions/injections will be done according to Stanford facilities guidelines. Consistent with the 
panitumumab package insert, the study drugs 89Zr-panitumumab and/or panitumumab-IRDye800 will 
not be mixed with, or administered as an infusion with other medicinal products, nor infused through a 
peripheral intravenous line or indwelling intravenous catheter.  
 
4.3  
Dose Rationale 
Rationale for dose of 1.0 mCi (37 Mbq) of 89Zr-panitumumab and PET imaging at Day 1 to 2 
post-infusion. The absorbed dose to the liver is relatively high, which limits the dose that can be 
administered to humans to approximately 1.0 mCi. The human studies reported in the literature have 
used 1 or 2 mCi and achieved good image quality (27,28).  
 
It is hypothesized that the systemic circulation of the antibody-drug will accumulate specifically within 
the tumor during the first 24 to 36 hours after infusion based on our preliminary data previously 
presented. However, we do expect that longer periods of accumulation in the primary tumor 
(2 to 5 days) will result in non-specific drainage of dye into the regional lymph nodes from non-specific 
lymphatic drainage form the tumor.

19 August 2021 
Rationale for dose of 30 mg panitumumab-IRDye800 without loading dose.  Previously we identified a 
flat dose of 50 mg of panitumumab-IRDye800 as the optimal dose for intraoperative imaging in HNSCC, 
but we have recently reviewed data for almost 54 patients who received panitumumab-IRDye800 and 
have evidence to support lowering the dose to 30 mg:  
1) We have shown that the tumor-to-background (TBR) ratio is the same for doses in the range 
25-50 mg. As can be seen in Figure 2 and Table 2, irrespective of the dose given, a fixed dose or 
a dose in mg/kg, the varies between 2-3. A dose of 30 mg would translate to a dose of 
approximately 0.41 mg/kg (assuming a patient weighing 73 kg). At this dose, we also do not 
expect that the timing is going to be of an issue, something which we did see when giving a 
lower dose of around 0.3 mg/kg  (Figure 3).   
2) There has been progressive improvement in our understanding of the benefit of the surgical 
imaging over the past 2 years, and we are now looking at margins in the primary specimen, 
rather than microscopic disease (29–31);  
3) In the lymph node data that we recently analyzed, we found a high sensitivity and specificity 
(84.6% and 94.0%, respectively) for identifying metastatic nodes. Furthermore, we 
demonstrated that a lower dose reduced the number of false-positives lymph nodes identified. 
Combined, this data leads us to believe that a lower dose (<0.5 mg/kg) may thus allow for 
improved metastatic lymph node detection compared to a >0.5 mg/kg dose of 
panitumumab-IRDye800 (32)   (Figure 4);  
4) The imaging software that we have been using continues to improve, and with this increased 
sensitivity, allows us to detect lower amounts of drug (both LICOR Biosciences Inc., and 
Novadaq/Stryker are continuously working on improved imaging devices – we have 
long-standing collaboration agreements in place);  
5) As of June 2019 we received our second lot of panitumumab-IRDye800 and we have seen an 
improved fluorescence signal coming from this lot compared to the previous batch.  
 
With that in mind, we would like to change the dose to 30 mg.

Surgical timing 2-5 days post-infusion. Calculating the TBR over time can be used to identify the optimal 
day of surgery that will provide the greatest tumor contrast. The proposed time course for imaging and 
surgery is based on data obtained from our cetuximab-IRDye800 and panitumumab-IRDye800 study, 
which has demonstrated increasing fluorescence intensity up to 3 days post injection of the 
antibody-dye conjugate (36). We found that most of our subjects had accessible tumors that could be 
imaged non-invasively in the clinic over time since oral cavity lesions can be well-visualized as well as 
cutaneous manifestations. The optimal imaging time point for 89Zr-panitumumab is nearly identical to 
that of panitumumab-IRDye800.  Thus, we plan to perform the surgery or image for up to 5 days to 
identify the optimal TBR as shown in our previous study.  
 
Rationale for observation period. We will follow up with subjects on Day 15, which is greater than 4 
half-lives of panitumumab. The half-life of panitumumab when given in multiple doses is known to be 
approximately 7 days (per package insert). However, when administered at smaller doses the half-life is 
less since the pharmacokinetics are non-linear. We know that at 2 mg/kg, the half-life is 2.3 days (FDA 
Drug Approval Package, Clinical Pharmacology Biopharmaceutics Review, application 125147), which is 
less than the 1 mg we are administering as our highest dose. Because the highest proposed dose in the 
current study is 50 mg of panitumumab-IRDye800, it is not expected to be detectable beyond 12 days 
after administration in our subject population. Fifteen days is also greater than 4-fold the half-life of 89Zr, 
which is 78.4 hours (3.3 days). The duration of 15 days after infusion is therefore chosen as the time 
point to assess for safety. The study will also follow up with subjects on Day 30. 
 
Pharmacokinetic intervals. Because the pharmacokinetics of single dose of panitumumab are well 
known, only limited pharmacokinetics will be performed. Blood levels will be monitored on Day 0 before 
infusion; 1 to 2 hours after infusion; and on the day of surgery, and on Day 15 for 
panitumumab-IRDye800 and free IRDye800. Clearance of panitumumab occurs through the binding in 
the liver and through the reticuloendothelial system as occurs with endogenous immunoglobulin.

4.4  
Definition of Dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) and Cohort Expansion 
Adverse events will be graded according to the CTCAE v5.0  
(https://ctep.cancer.gov/protocolDevelopment/electronic applications/ctc.htm).  
 
Dose-limiting toxicity will be defined as any Grade 2 or greater toxicity that is determined by the 
principal investigator to be possibly, probably or definitely-related to study drugs and clinically 
significant for subjects who received panitumumab-IRDye800 and 89Zr-panitumumab for this study. 
Clinically significant is defined based on NCI definition – a result that is large enough to affect a subject’s 
disease state in a manner that is noticeable to the subject and/or caregiver or requires intervention. 
 
4.5  
Study Drug Discontinuation  
Study drug will be discontinued for any of the following: 
 
Subject withdraws consent for the study 
 
Death attributed to study drug 
 
Serious systemic anaphylactic reaction (Grade 3 or higher)  
 
Any serious rare reactions attributed to study drug 
 
If one of these events occurs, and is a serious adverse event (see Section 7.2), the FDA, IRB and Stanford 
DSMC will be notified immediately and there will be a comprehensive review of the safety data prior to 
resuming and further study drug administration. 
 
4.6  
General Concomitant Medication and Supportive Care Guidelines 
Other than chemotherapy (including any EGFR-targeting agent), subjects may continue any medication 
they are receiving at study entry for underlying medical conditions. All medications taken at time of 
study entry will be recorded. Any changes in concomitant medication, including additions, 
discontinuations, and dose changes occurring during the study will be recorded. 
 
Medications administered on the Day 0 until Day 30 will not be collected unless given for a reportable 
adverse event or reportable serious adverse event (see Section 7 for definitions). 
 
4.7 
 Criteria for Removal from Study 
Treatment will be stopped and subjects will be removed from study due to unacceptable adverse 
events, withdrawal of consent or non-compliance. 
 
4.8 
Alternatives and Risk Protection / Mitigation  
Alternatives 
 
This study is in the setting of tumor excision of biopsy-confirmed diagnosis of HNSCC, and the 
experimental component is infusion of 89Zr-panitumumab and panitumumab-IRDye800, which 
may help visualize the tumor and tumor margins as well as identify tumor-loaded lymph nodes 
for the surgeon. The surgery itself is considered regular medical care. Therefore, the alternative 
to participating in this study is to have the tumor excision surgery without the 
89Zr-panitumumab and panitumumab-IRDye800 infusion.  
 
Procedures to protect against and minimize potential risks:  
 
This study is designed enroll appropriate subjects populations (see Section 3.1 Inclusion Criteria, 
and Section 3.2 Exclusion Criteria).  


 
IRB-41878 / ENT0066

19 August 2021 
 
Subjects will be monitored regularly by the investigators and the study team after 
investigational 89Zr-panitumumab and panitumumab-IRDye800 and surgery, through 30 days 
(± 1 week) post-89Zr-panitumumab and panitumumab-IRDye800 treatment, for adverse events 
by means of physical exams, blood tests, and ECGs.  
 
Subjects will be given a 24-hour emergency number in case problems arise between clinic visits. 
 
Subject records will be kept in a secure location at Stanford University Medical Center accessible

5 INVESTIGATIONAL AGENT INFORMATION 
5.1 
Description of Study Drugs   
This IND proposes a study of the sequential use of 2 investigational imaging agents, 89Zr-panitumumab 
and panitumumab-IRDye800.   
 
9.2.3. 
5.1.1 89Zr-panitumumab  
Zirconium is a Group IVB transition metal, and its isotope, 89Zr, is an excellent candidate for ImmunoPET.  
89Zr decays through positron emission and electron capture with a half-life of 78.4 hours (3.3 days), 
which is similar to the optimal TBR time for most monoclonal antibodies. An advantage of 89Zr is that it 
requires less energy to produce. One limitation of this isotope is that its high gamma emission of 
908.97 keV restricts the administered dose in subjects.   
 
Over the years, many preclinical studies have been performed in vivo with various 89Zr-labeled 
antibodies.  At present, there are 48 studies listed on ClinicalTrials.gov: 9 with 89Zr-labeled bevacizumab, 
8 with 89Zr-labeled trastuzumab, 4 with 89Zr-labeled cetuximab, and 2 with 89Zr-labeled panitumumab. 
The latter two studies are completed and were performed by NCI.  
 
Of the clinicaltrials.gov published studies, 3 report on the use of DFO (deferoxamine) that is proposed to 
be used to link 89Zr to panitumumab for this study.  
 
89Zr-panitumumab is an established investigational PET agent by the FDA.  Peer-reviewed published 
dosimetry data and first human experience with 89Zr-panitumumab does not report any major adverse 
events related to 89Zr-panitumumab (27-28).  In Lindenberg et al (28), three subjects with metastatic 
colon cancer were administered approximately 1 mCi (37 MBq) of 89Zr-panitumumab by IV, with whole 
body (base of skull to mid-thigh) static images obtained at 2-6 hours, 1-3 days, and 5-7 days 
post-injection.  One participant only completed two post-injection scans due to scheduling constraints; 
the other two participants completed three post-injection scans.  Based on whole organ image contours 
of the liver, kidneys, spleen, stomach, lungs, bone, gut, heart bladder and psoas muscle, the whole-body 
effective dose was estimated between 0.264 mSv/MBq (0.97 rem/mCi) and 0.330 mSv/MBq 
(1.22 rem/mCi). 
 
The following dosimetry tables are reproduced from Lindenberg et al. (28).

Table 4:  Results from OLINDA 1.1 estimating the dose using all three subjects but only the first two 
scans to generate the time activity curve from which average residence times were calculated 
 
 
89Zr-panitumumab will be manufactured at the MIPS Cyclotron and Radiochemistry Facility per the 
manufacturing information in 
 (IND-holder Andrei Iagaru, MD).  
 
Following the 89Zr-panitumumab bolus injection, a PET/CT the scan will be performed anytime starting 
on Day 0 until the day before surgery (inclusive). The whole body effective dose for this procedure is the 
3-5 mSv. In the subjects that will participate in the dosimetry sub-study whereby they will receive a total 
of three PET/CT scans, the whole body effective dose of the PET/CT scans will be 9-15 mSv.  
 
9.2.4. 
5.1.2 Panitumumab-IRDye800  
Panitumumab-IRDye800 was manufactured from commercially-sourced panitumumab and cGMP 
IRDye® 800CW N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) ester infrared dye (LI-COR Biosciences, Inc.) at the GMP 
biologics facility at LI-COR Biosciences.   
 
Panitumumab is as described above. IRDye800CW has a molecular weight of 1166 Da and is supplied as 
a lyophilized powder. It can be dissolved in water or DMSO at concentrations up to 20 mg/mL. The dye 


 
IRB-41878 / ENT0066 
Page 27 of 51 
19 August 2021 
in 1:1 solution of phosphate buffered saline (PBS):methanol has an absorbance maximum of 777 nm and 
an emission maximum of 791 nm. IRDye800CW is a near-infrared fluorescent imaging dye that can be 
easily bound to proteins through its NHS Ester group.  IRDye800CW is not FDA-approved, and much of 
the information regarding IRDye800 remains proprietary.  However, LI-COR Biosciences manufactures 
IRDye800 under cGMP conditions, and has submitted a drug master file (MF) to the FDA (MF-25167) 
that is cross-referenced for the IND under which this study is conducted.  
 
Panitumumab-IRDye800 is produced by mixing the panitumumab and IRDye800 components in 
phosphate buffer at pH 8.5 and allowing the conjugation reaction to proceed at 20 to 25ºC. The 
conjugation reaction is followed by a buffer exchange into pH 7.4 PBS. The desired stoichiometry for the 
product is approximately 1.5 dye molecules per antibody molecule.  
 
Panitumumab-IRDye800 has been previously evaluated as an imaging agent in several Stanford studies, 
in patients with head and neck cancer (IRB-35064), brain tumors (IRB-43179), lung cancer (IRB-43102), 
and pancreatic cancer (IRB-42237) for a total of 77 patients studied to date.  A related agent, 
cetuximab-IRDye800, has been used in Stanford study IRB-35068, IRB-35789 and IRB-37595.  
 
5.2 Expected Toxicities  
9.2.5. 
5.2.1 Expected Toxicities of 89Zr-panitumumab 
The toxicities of 89Zr-panitumumab are analogous to the known toxicities of panitumumab (see 
package insert); panitumumab-IRDye800; and 18F-FDG-PET with the additional toxicities of the IRDye800 
chelator, deferoxamine. The toxicities of deferoxamine as elaborated in the prescribing information are 
reviewed below. 
 
5.2.1.1 Deferoxamine Toxicities 
Deferoxamine:  Deferoxamine (Desferal) is approved throughout much of the world for the treatment of 
acute iron intoxication and of chronic iron overload due to transfusion-dependent anemias. 
Deferoxamine chelates iron by forming a stable complex that prevents the iron from entering into 
further chemical reactions. It readily chelates iron from ferritin and hemosiderin but not readily from 
transferrin; it does not combine with the iron from cytochromes and hemoglobin. Deferoxamine does 
not cause any demonstrable increase in the excretion of electrolytes or trace metals. In this use as an 
imaging drug, the chelate site is occupied by 89Zr and is not displaced by serum iron. 
5.2.1.1.1.  At the Injection Site 
Localized irritation; pain; burning; swelling; induration; infiltration; pruritus; erythema; wheal formation; 
eschar; crust; vesicles; local edema. Injection site reactions may be associated with systemic allergic 
reactions.  
5.2.1.1.2.  Hypersensitivity Reactions and Systemic Allergic Reactions 
Generalized rash; urticaria; anaphylactic reaction with or without shock; angioedema.  
5.2.1.1.3.  Body as a Whole 
Local injection site reactions may be accompanied by systemic reactions like arthralgia; fever; headache; 
myalgia; nausea; vomiting; abdominal pain; or asthma. Infections with Yersinia and Mucormycosis have 
been reported in association with Desferal use.  
5.2.1.1.4.  Cardiovascular 
Tachycardia; hypotension; shock. 
5.2.1.1.5.  Digestive 
Abdominal discomfort; diarrhea; nausea; vomiting.  
5.2.1.1.6.  Hematologic 
Blood dyscrasia (thrombocytopenia; leucopenia). 


 
IRB-41878 / ENT0066 
Page 28 of 51 
19 August 2021 
5.2.1.1.7.  Hepatic 
Increased transaminases; hepatic dysfunction.  
5.2.1.1.8.  Musculoskeletal 
Muscle spasms. Growth retardation and bone changes (e.g., metaphyseal dysplasia) are common in 
chelated subjects given doses above 60 mg/kg, especially those who begin iron chelation in the first 
three years of life.  If doses are kept to 40 mg/kg or below, the risk may be reduced.  
5.2.1.1.9.  Nervous System 
Neurological disturbances including dizziness; peripheral sensory, motor, or mixed neuropathy; 
paresthesias; seizures; exacerbation or precipitation of aluminum-related dialysis encephalopathy.  
5.2.1.1.10.  Special Senses 
High-frequency sensorineural hearing loss and/or tinnitus are uncommon if dosage guidelines are not 
exceeded and if dose is reduced when ferritin levels decline. Visual disturbances are rare if dosage 
guidelines are not exceeded. These may include decreased acuity; blurred vision; loss of vision; 
dyschromatopsia; night blindness; visual field defects; scotoma; retinopathy (pigmentary degeneration); 
optic neuritis; and cataracts.  
5.2.1.1.11.  Respiratory 
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (with dyspnea, cyanosis, and/or interstitial infiltrates).  
5.2.1.1.12.  Skin 
Very rare generalized rash.  
5.2.1.1.13.  Urogenital 
Dysuria; acute renal failure; increased serum creatinine and renal tubular disorders.  
5.2.1.1.14.  Postmarketing Reports 
There are postmarketing reports of deferoxamine-associated renal dysfunction, including renal failure. 
Monitor subjects for changes in renal function (e.g., increased serum creatinine).  
Combined, the previous experience in humans with antibodies labeled with 89Zr supports the conclusion 
that a trial of labeled panitumumab at a mass dose of 1 mg, less than 7 nmole, approximately 1/420 of 
the usual clinical dose, will not pose a significant risk to the subjects in the proposed early clinical 
development. 
 
9.2.6. 
5.2.2 Expected Toxicities of Panitumumab-IRDye800 
With the exception of infusion reactions and allergic responses, toxicities associated with 
panitumumab-based therapy are usually dose-dependent and associated with prolonged therapy.  
Because panitumumab will be delivered at sub-therapeutic doses and will only be administered once, it 
is anticipated that the primary adverse events will be dose-independent reactions such as infusion 
reaction or allergic reaction.   
5.2.2.1 Dermatologic and Soft Tissue Toxicity (Black Box Warning)  
Studies reporting dermatologic toxicities have given therapeutic doses of panitumumab repeatedly 
during treatment cycles since this is required to achieve a tumor response.  In the proposed study we 
give one, sub-therapeutic dose.  
 
In one study, dermatologic toxicities occurred in 90% of subjects and were severe (NCI CTC Grade 3 and 
higher) in 16% of subjects (package insert).  The clinical manifestations included, but were not limited to, 
dermatitis acneiform;  pruritus;  erythema;  rash;  skin exfoliation;  paronychia;  dry skin;  and skin 
fissures.  Subjects who develop dermatologic or soft tissue toxicities should be monitored for the 
development of inflammatory or infectious sequelae.  Life threatening and fatal infectious complications 
including necrotizing fasciitis;  abscesses;  and sepsis have been observed in subjects treated with 
panitumumab.  Panitumumab should be withheld or discontinued for toxicities associated with severe 
or life-threatening inflammatory or infectious complications.

19 August 2021 
5.2.2.2 Infusion reaction (Black Box Warning) 
Because the study proposes to administer a single sub-therapeutic dose, the most likely adverse event 
we anticipate is an infusion reaction. Minor (Grade 1) infusion reactions from panitumumab occur at a 
frequency of approximately 1%, with severe reactions (anaphylaxis) rarely reported (package insert). 
Serious infusion reactions can occur; requiring medical intervention and immediate, permanent 
discontinuation of panitumumab include rapid onset of airway obstruction (bronchospasm; stridor; and 
hoarseness); hypotension; shock; loss of consciousness; myocardial infarction; and/or cardiac arrest.  
5.2.2.3 Cardiac Toxicity 
Prolonged QT interval. Toxicology and other preclinical studies performed at UAB in 2013 with 
cetuximag-IRDye800 identified a small, but statistically significant increase in QT-intervals.  These 
studies in non-human primates after administration of cetuximab-IRDye800 identified an increase in the 
QTc interval for cetuximab alone compared to cetuximab-IRDye800. There was also a 
statistically-significant 
difference 
between 
the 
QTc interval 
between 
the 
cetuximab 
and 
cetuximab-IRDye800 that will require assessment of interval ECG and exclusion criteria of subjects at risk 
for arrhythmias (see Exclusion Criteria). Screening ECG and intermittent ECG data will be obtained as 
part of the current study. Thus far, in our ongoing panitumumab-IRDye800 trials in HNSCC, such effects 
have not been seen (Stanford protocol IRB-35064).  
5.2.2.4 Pulmonary Fibrosis / Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) 
Pulmonary fibrosis occurred in less than 1% of subjects in clinical studies using panitumumab.  Subjects 
with a history or evidence of interstitial pneumonitis, pulmonary fibrosis, were excluded from most 
clinical trials (package insert). The estimated risk in a general population is therefore unknown.  Cases of 
ILD, including fatalities, have been reported in subjects treated with panitumumab. Interrupt therapy for 
the acute onset or worsening of pulmonary symptoms. 
5.2.2.5 Hypomagnesemia and Electrolyte Abnormalities  
In one study, hypomagnesemia (NCI-CTC Grade 3 or 4) requiring oral or intravenous electrolyte repletion 
occurred in 2% of subjects. Hypomagnesemia occurred 6 weeks or longer after the initiation of 
panitumumab (package insert). Both hypomagnesemia and hypocalcemia occurred in some subjects. 
Electrolytes should be monitored periodically during treatment and for 8 weeks after the completion of 
therapy. Replete electrolytes as necessary using standard infusion guidelines. 
5.2.2.6 Photosensitivity  
Exposure to sunlight can exacerbate dermatologic toxicity (package insert). Advise subjects to wear 
sunscreen and hats and limit sun exposure while receiving panitumumab. 
5.2.2.7 Ocular Toxicities 
Keratitis and ulcerative keratitis, known risk factors for corneal perforation, have been reported with the 
use of panitumumab (package insert). Monitor for evidence of keratitis or ulcerative keratitis. Interrupt 
or discontinue therapy for acute or worsening keratitis.  
5.2.2.8 Other Toxicities   
It is also possible that other panitumumab related toxicities will appear (fatigue or diarrhea), but 
because the proposed dose is a fraction of the therapeutic dose and is administered only once, these are 
likely not to be the dose limiting toxicities in this clinical trial. We do not expect significant toxicities 
from IRDye800 because rodent toxicology studies have not demonstrated toxicity, and it has similar 
chemical structure as indocyanine green (which has been delivered to humans in gram quantities for 
decades without significant toxicity). 
 
In one study, dermatologic toxicities occurred in 90% of subjects and were severe (NCI CTC Grade 3 and 
higher) in 16% of subjects (package insert). The clinical manifestations included, but were not limited to, 
dermatitis acneiform; pruritus; erythema; rash; skin exfoliation; paronychia; dry skin; and skin fissures. 
Subjects who develop dermatologic or soft tissue toxicities should be monitored for the development of 


 
IRB-41878 / ENT0066

19 August 2021 
inflammatory or infectious sequelae. Life threatening and fatal infectious complications including 
necrotizing fasciitis; abscesses; and sepsis have been observed in subjects treated with panitumumab. 
Panitumumab should be withheld or discontinued for toxicities associated with severe or 
life-threatening inflammatory or infectious complications. 
 
5.3 Availability  
Panitumumab-IRDye800 will be provided by Stanford’s investigational pharmacy. It has been 
manufactured at the GMP biologics facility at LI-COR Biosciences Inc. using cGMP IRDye800CW and

5.4 Agent Ordering  
89Zr-panitumumab  
89Zr-panitumumab will be manufactured on demand at the MIPS Cyclotron and Radiochemistry Facility.  
As necessary, 89Zr-panitumumab will be held in appropriate storage until delivery to the clinical site.  
 
Panitumumab-IRDye800 
Per Stanford standard operating procedures, the Stanford investigational pharmacy will be responsible 
for storage of panitumumab-IRDye800 and dispensing of the drug after subjects are screened and 
enrolled to the study.  
 
5.5 Agent Accountability  
The Principal Investigator will be responsible for the accounting of 
89Zr-panitumumab and 
panitumumab-IRDye800, including proper labeling; documentation of lot numbers; dose and 
administration records; and storage of drug. The investigator will also be responsible for ensuring study 
drugs are correctly labeled and the appropriate dose is administered per the study protocol.  
 
 
6. 
DOSE MODIFICATIONS 
Apart from the dosing discussed in Section 4.3, there are no other dose modifications allowed in this 
study. If there is a limited range of tumor-to-background ratio identified in this study, we will consider 
amending the protocol to add higher doses of panitumumab-IRDye800 or 89Zr-panitumumab.  
 
 
7. 
ADVERSE EVENTS AND REPORTING PROCEDURES 
7.1 
Adverse Event 
An adverse event is any event that is presents during the trial that was not observed at baseline or has 
worsened from baseline.  
 
7.2 
Serious Adverse Event 
A serious adverse event is defined (21CFR§312.32) as any adverse experience that suggests a significant 
hazard, contraindication, side effect, or untoward medical occurrence that: 
 
Results in death, 


 
IRB-41878 / ENT0066 
Page 31 of 51 
19 August 2021 
 
Is life-threatening (Note: the term “life-threatening” refers to an event in which the subject was 
at risk of death at the time of the event rather than to an event which hypothetically might have 
caused death if it were more severe), 
 
Requires (or prolongs) hospitalization, 
 
Causes persistent or significant disability/incapacity, 
 
Results in congenital anomalies or birth defects, or 
 
Other conditions which in the judgment of the Investigator represent significant hazards 
 
Medical and scientific judgment should be exercised in deciding whether expedited reporting is 
appropriate in other situations, such as important medical events that may not be immediately 
life-threatening or result in death or hospitalization, but may jeopardize the subject, or may require 
intervention to prevent one of the other outcomes listed in the above definition. These should be 
considered serious. 
 
Any pregnancy which occurs during this clinical trial must be reported to the Sponsor and treated as a 
serious adverse event with regard to the reporting time line. Any pregnancy must be followed through 
conclusion of the pregnancy (delivery or termination). Administration of study drug will be discontinued 
in a subject who becomes pregnant. If a male subject reports a pregnancy of his spouse or significant 
other while participating in the trial, data regarding the outcome of this pregnancy must be collected. 
 
7.3 
Assessment of Causality 
For any adverse event that occurs during this study, it will be the responsibility of the Investigator to 
assess the relationship of the event to study treatment.  
For this clinical trial, the following criteria will be used: 
 
Unrelated: There is no temporal relationship between the event and the administration of the 
study drug, and/or the event is clearly due to the subject’s medical condition, other therapies, 
or accident. 
 
Possibly-related: There is some temporal relationship between the event and the administration 
of the study drug and the event is unlikely to be explained by the participant’s medical condition 
or other therapies. 
 
Probably-related: The temporal relationship between the event and the administration of the 
study drug is compelling, and the participant’s medical condition or other therapies cannot 
explain the event. 
 
Definitely-related: The temporal relationship between the event and the administration of the 
study drug is compelling, the participant’s medical condition or other therapies cannot explain 
the event and the event follows a known or suspected response pattern to the medication. 
 
Note that for this clinical trial, adverse reactions defined by the panitumumab package insert are 
considered “Expected” as cited by 21CFR§312.32(a).  
 
7.4 
Severity of Adverse Events 
Adverse events will be graded per NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE v5.0). 
 
Mild (Grade 1) 
 
Moderate (Grade 2) 
 
Severe (Grade 3) 
 
Immediately life-threatening/Fatal (Grade 4 and 5) 
 


 
IRB-41878 / ENT0066 
Page 32 of 51 
19 August 2021 
Adverse events that are solely laboratory test results without clinical consequence or sequelae or 
hospitalization will be graded by investigator judgement.  
 
7.5 
Safety Monitoring and Reporting 
7.5.1 Monitoring of Adverse Events 
Both serious and non-serious adverse events (AEs) will be clearly noted in source documentation and 
listed on study specific Case Report Forms (CRFs). The Protocol Director (PD) or designee will assess each 
AE to determine whether it is unexpected according to the Informed Consent, Protocol Document, 
package insert, or cross-referenced Investigator’s Brochure, and related to the investigation.  
 
All adverse events (AEs), regardless of seriousness or relationship to study drug, are to be collected only 
on designated study dates from signing of informed consent through 30 days after administration of 
study drug, and recorded in the study specific worksheets, with the following exceptions: 
 
• 
AEs that are solely laboratory values; are not related to the study drug; AND are clinically 
non-significant may not be collected.  
• 
Non serious AEs that are not related to the study drug; are not clinically significant; AND are 
expected in the post-surgery clinical setting may not be collected. 
• 
SAEs that occur from signing of informed consent to prior to administration of study agent may 
not be collected unless assessed as possibly, probably or definitely-related to a study procedure. 
 
All patients enrolled in this study receive surgical intervention in the course of their standard of care. As 
a consequence of this surgery, patients may experience certain expected and normal adverse events. 
The following post-operative adverse events will be captured only in the patient’s Electronic Health 
Record (EHR) source documentation and not in the adverse event log. If the adverse event exceeds the 
grading listed below or occurs outside the post-operative time window, the adverse event will be 
recorded in the Adverse Event Logs.  
 
Surgical wound site and associated, expected secondary signs and symptoms, including:  
o CTCAE v5.0 Grade 1 erythema, edema, and pruritis.  
o CTCAE v5.0 Grade 1 pain associated with surgical wound, including headaches – mild 
pain, little to no limit on adult daily life.  
o CTCAE v5.0 Grade 1 nausea, vomiting, and dysphagia.  
o CTCAE v5.0 Grade 1 weight loss, anemia, and electrolyte abnormalities.  
o CTCAE v5.0 Grade 2 trismus.  
 
Whenever possible, symptoms should be grouped as single syndrome or diagnosis.  The Investigator 
should specify the date of onset, maximal intensity, corrective therapy given, outcome, and his/her 
assessment of causality. 
 
Any AE that is not resolved by the end of the study and considered to be potentially related to study 
drug or was the cause for the subject’s withdrawal will be followed as clinically indicated until its 
resolution, or if non resolving, until considered stable.  All SAEs will be tracked until resolution, or until 
30 after the last dose of the study treatment. 
 
7.5.2 Recording and Reporting Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events 
Non-serious adverse events will be reported annually to the FDA via an Annual Report and to the IRB via 
Continuing Review. 
 


 
IRB-41878 / ENT0066 
Page 33 of 51 
19 August 2021 
The PD (aka Principle Investigator) must immediately report within 24 hours of knowledge of event to 
the Sponsor-Investigator (i.e. IND Holder, Andrei Iagaru, MD), any serious adverse event, whether or not 
considered related to study drug.  SAEs of all grades will be reported to the Sponsor-Investigator using 
the Stanford Cancer Institute SAE CRF.  The investigator must provide a detailed description of the 
event, the treatment regimen, relevant laboratory and evaluations and assessment of the relationship of 
the AE to the study drug.  All relevant information should be reported as it becomes available. 
 
SAEs CTCAE Grade 3 and above, and all subsequent follow up reports will be reported to the Stanford 
Cancer Institute Data and Safety Monitoring Committee (DSMC) using the study specific CRF regardless 
of the event’s relatedness to the investigation.  Following review by the DSMC, events meeting the IRB 
definition of ‘Unanticipated Problem’ will be reported to the IRB using eProtocol within 10 working days 
of DSMC review, or within 5 working days for deaths or life threatening experiences. 
 
Adverse events deemed serious, unexpected (i.e. not described in the protocol, package insert, 
cross-referenced Investigator’s Brochure or informed consent documents) and related to study drug 
must be reported to Sponsor-Investigator using the FDA MedWatch form 3500a within 24 hours of 
knowledge of event.  The Sponsor Investigator is responsible for deciding whether the event meets IND 
Safety Reporting criteria. 
 
Events will be submitted to Sponsor Investigator Andrei Iagaru, MD, at: 
 
-----Andrei Iagaru, MD, Professor of Radiology 
Dept of Radiology, Division of Nuclear Medicine 
Stanford Medicine at Stanford University M/C 5281 
300 Pasteur Drive, Room H2200 
Stanford, CA 94305 
 
  
 
It will be the responsibility of the Sponsor-Investigator to provide to the FDA all information concerning 
significant hazards, contraindications, side effects or precautions felt significant to the safety of the drug 
being studied.  The PD is responsible for accurate and timely communication to the Sponsor-Investigator 
of any events reportable to FDA.  Subjects will be instructed prior to participation on the importance of 
reporting any symptoms (new or worsening), and/or any physical changes throughout their participation 
in the study. These events will be recorded accordingly in the CRF. Abnormal laboratory and/or clinical 
assessments will also be captured in the appropriate CRF. 
 
8. 
CORRELATIVE/SPECIAL STUDIES  
Conform our phase I study (IRB-35064), we will continue collecting pharmacokinetics data, hence the 
blood draws. We will also continue collecting imaging data on the primary tumor. This data will be used 
for: 1) drug delivery studies to gain better insight in the panitumumab-Irdye800 distribution in the 
tumor; and 2) to further study if the drug can be used to define (intraoperative) margins. Furthermore 
preoperative standard of care imaging obtained during routine evaluation will be used to correlate with 
pathological findings.

9.3 Description of Evaluations / Procedures  
9.3.1 
Laboratory Evaluations 
Blood specimens will be collected for hematology (WBC, RBC; hemoglobin, hematocrit, and platelet 
counts), basic metabolic profile electrolytes, creatinine, BUN, magnesium and phosphorus, and serum 
pregnancy if necessary. If laboratory evaluations are obtained within 21 days of Day 0, they do not have 


 
IRB-41878 / ENT0066 
Page 39 of 51 
19 August 2021 
to be repeated. Blood will be collected for fluorescent-labeled antibody pharmacokinetics and 
furthermore, blood will be obtained and banked for future analysis of immunogenicity against the study 
drug as requested by the FDA in pre-IND conversations. 
9.3.2 
Physical Examinations 
A physical examination will be conducted to include review of all major systems prior to enrollment to 
study. If the initial physical examination is obtained within 21 days of Day 0, the exam does not have to 
be repeated. Standard head and neck examination and system-oriented physical examination will be 
conducted on other visits. 
9.3.3 
Medical History 
A complete medical history including age, sex, race, current medications, any current or previous 
medical conditions, any previous surgeries, smoking history, and alcohol use will be done at screening. 
9.3.4 
Vital Signs 
Vital signs including blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and temperature will be collected at 
each clinic visit. Height and weight will be collected at screening. 
9.3.5 
Tumor and lymph node imaging 
Imaging will be done utilizing the optical imaging devices (see Appendix B for details). The camera head 
will be placed over the tumor and/or lymph nodes and images will be obtained and recorded.  
9.3.6 
Cardiac Monitoring 
Preclinical studies performed at UAB (2013) identified a small, but statistically significant increase in 
QT-intervals using cetuximab. These studies in non-human primates after administration of 
cetuximab-IRDye800 identified an increase in the QTc interval for cetuximab alone compared to 
cetuximab-IRDye800. There was also a statistically significant difference between the QTc interval 
between the cetuximab and cetuximab-IRDye800 that will require assessment of interval ECG and 
exclusion criteria of patients at risk for arrhythmias, see exclusion criteria. Screening ECG and 
intermittent ECG data will be obtained as part of the study. We reference the full toxicology report for 
Cetuximab-IRDye800 (IND 115706) recently submitted to the FDA. However, more recent investigation 
(40) has failed to substantiate this QTc risk in panitumumab-IRDye800 and has further shown no 
significant evidence of cardiac toxicity.  
 
An ECG will be obtained during the screening period, on day of infusion (at 30 min (±10) after the end of 
panitumumab-IRDye800 infusion and at the end of the 1 hour observation period after completion of 
injection of 89Zr-panitumumab) and on Day 15.  A previous ECG that was obtained as part of standard of 
care may be used as the baseline ECG if obtained within 21 days prior to injection and will be reviewed 
any time prior to eligibility. QT/QTc interval will be assessed for each time point.  A supervising physician 
will review the ECG results the same day they are recorded, the final review can be delayed (pending on 
availability of final reading) but initial review for safety is done the same day.

MEASUREMENTS 
10.1  
Primary Outcome Measure 
The number (proportion) of lymph nodes determined to be tumor-positive by histological and/or 
pathological evaluation that were predicted to be tumor-positive by 89Zr-panitumumab labeling. 
We will compare the number and location of 18F-FDG-avid nodes within the regional lymphatics to the 
number and location of 89Zr-panitumumab-avid nodes in relation to the postoperative neck dissection 
histopathology (gold standard).  
Outcome Measure:  Preoperatively, the location and number of 18F-FDG-avid nodes as well as 
the number and location of 
89Zr-panitumumab-avid nodes will be determined by 2 
board-certified Nuclear Medicine physicians (Dr. Guido Davidzon and Dr. Andrei Iagaru).  Once 
all radioactive and fluorescent nodes are removed intraoperatively, standard of care will be

performed via completion neck dissection. The excised tissue specimens will be sent to 
pathology where the tumor status of the lymph nodes will be determined (histology serves as 
our gold standard). This will allow us to determine true and false positive and negative tumor 
values for 89Zr-panitumumab and 18F-FDG in identifying the tumor-loaded lymph nodes. 
Time Frame:  Final false positive and negative rate, sensitivity and specificity of sentinel node 
detection using 89Zr-panitumumab can be determined towards the completion of the trials 
(once all subjects have been included and all the data has been collected).  
Safety Issue:  No 
 
10.2  
Secondary Outcome Measures 
The number (proportion) of lymph nodes determined to be tumor-positive by histological and/or 
pathological evaluation that were NOT predicted tumor-positive by 89Zr-panitumumab labeling.  
We will compare the number and location of 18F-FDG-avid nodes within the regional lymphatics to the 
number and location of 89Zr-panitumumab-avid nodes in relation to the postoperative neck dissection 
histopathology (gold standard).  
Outcome Measure:  Preoperatively, the location and number of 18F-FDG-avid nodes as well as 
the number and location of 89Zr-panitumumab-avid nodes will be determined.  Once all 
radioactive and fluorescent nodes are removed intraoperatively, standard of care will be 
performed via completion neck dissection. The excised tissue specimens will be sent to 
pathology where the tumor status of the lymph nodes will be determined (histology serves as 
our gold standard). This will allow us to determine true and false positive and negative tumor 
values for 89Zr-panitumumab and 18F-FDG in identifying the tumor-loaded lymph nodes. 
Specifically we will look for lymph nodes that were 18F-FDG positive on preoperative imaging 
and/or fluorescently labeled by panitumumab-IRDye800, but do now show uptake of 
89Zr-panitumumab.  
Time Frame:  Final false positive and negative rate, sensitivity and specificity of sentinel node 
detection using panitumumab-IRDye800 can be determined towards the completion of the trial 
(once all subjects have been included and all the data have been collected). 
Safety Issue:  No

12. STATISTICAL CONSIDERATIONS 
Data from both cohorts (14 subjects) will be combined for all primary and secondary analyses. 
 
Primary objective 
Determine the sensitivity and specificity of 89Zr-panitumumab for the detection of tumor-involved 
regional lymph nodes. 
Using the histological and/or pathological evaluation of the lymph node as the gold standard, we will 
calculate and compare the sensitivity and specificity of 89Zr-panitumumab and 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging 
findings. We will test the level of association of the 89Zr-panitumumab-PET results and the 18F-FDG-PET 
results with the Phi coefficient. 
 
We will use the matched pair Durkalski’s test (36), accounting for the cluster-correlation within subjects, 
for the sensitivity and specificity comparisons (primary and exploratory) using the clust.bin.pair package 
(37) in the R-statistical software (39). Significance for both primary and exploratory analyses will be 
assessed at the 0.05 level and to assess uncertainty, 95% confidence intervals will be provided for all 
estimates. 
 
Secondary Objective  
Determine the number (proportion) of lymph nodes determined to be tumor-positive by histological 
and/or pathological evaluation that were NOT predicted tumor-positive by 89Zr-panitumumab 
labeling.  
We will calculate the odds of a false negative using 89Zr-panitumumab-PET relative to the odds of a false 
negative using a 18F-FDG-PET and compare the negative predictive value (NPV) of 89Zr-panitumumab and 
18F-FDG. 
 
Exploratory Objectives  
 
Determine the sensitivity and specificity of panitumumab-IRDye800 for the detection of 
tumor-involved regional lymph nodes. 
 
After isolation of lymph nodes from the specimen in the pathology lab, lymph node fluorescence will 
be measured prior to histological and/or pathological evaluation (gold standard). Sensitivity and 
specificity will be generated by comparison of fluorescence intensity and histological and/or 
pathological evaluation (gold standard). Findings will furthermore be compared to the sensitivity 
and specificity of 89Zr-panitumumab and 18F-FDG (primary objective) using Durkalski’s test, as 
outlined above.

 
Determine the number (proportion) of lymph nodes determined to be tumor-positive by 
histological and/or pathological evaluation that were NOT predicted tumor-positive by 
panitumumab-Irdye800 labeling.  
 
We will determine the level of association between panitumumab-Irdye800 results and 
89Zr-panitumumab-PET and 18F-FDG-PET results with the Phi coefficient. 
 
Descriptive statistics 
For qualification and quantification of the fluorescence signal and the radioactive signal, we follow the 
following rules: 
- 
Intraoperative fluorescence assessment of panitumumab-IRDye800:  
There will be no set level of fluorescence whereby we consider tissue positive or negative; it is based 
on operator’s impression.  
- 
Ex vivo fluorescence assessment of panitumumab-IRDye800: 
From the fluorescence images taken in the operation room, we will calculate tumor-to-background 
ratios (TBRs) as such to define a more quantitative read-out (similar to as described in the IRB-35064 
study). Based on the current data available from our IRB-35064, in our 50 mg cohort, we found an 
average TBR of 6.53±1.2, a sensitivity of 89±5.1%, a specificity of 92±3.5% (AUC: 0.93±0.05). The 
NPV and PPV were 94±2.8% and 92±9.5%, respectively. We will extrapolate these findings to the 
current study to further validate the findings from our phase I study (IRB-35064).   
- 
Radioactive assessment of 89Zr-panitumumab: 
Following the standard of care evaluation of PET/CT scans, maximum standard uptake values 
(SUVmax) will be calculated for the accumulation of 89Zr-panitumumab in tumor tissue and/or lymph 
nodes. As background reading, the SUVmax of the mediastinum will be determined.  
Tentative cutoff for ‘imaging positive’: an SUVmax value of the lymph nodes of minimally 1.4x the 
background (mediastinum). In all cases, (histo-) pathology serves as the gold standard for “true” 
positive / negative lymph nodes. Subsequently an ROC curve will be generated whereby we will 
select the point of highest specificity and sensitivity and from there we will determine if our 
tentative cutoff was valid or if we need to adjust.  
- 
Comparison fluorescence and radioactivity-based findings: 
All tissues that will be excised during surgery will be evaluated for the presence of radioactivity and 
fluorescence and scored as such being positive / negative. Evaluated tissues are either 1) fluorescent 
only; 2) radioactive only; 3) both radioactive and fluorescent; or 4) neither radioactive nor 
fluorescent. This will be done quantitatively (Y/N approach) and qualitatively (see above). 
o Because the antibody is the same, only the label (IRDye800 or 89-Zr) differs, we expect that 
tissue samples that are radioactive are also fluorescent and vice versa. However, this is 
something that will be investigated in this study.    
 
We will present means and standard deviations (or medians and interquartile ranges when appropriate) 
for continuous characteristics such as maximum standard uptake values (SUVmax) as determined with 
89Zr-panitumumab-PET and 18F-FDG-PET and radioactivity counts of 89Zr-panitumumab in the node(s) as 
determined with the beta probe and/or high-energy gamma probe, and tumor-to-background ratios 
(TBRs) and mean florescence intensity (MFI) for panitumumab-Irdye800. For categorical variables such 
as drainage pattern and number of lymph nodes visualized, we will present frequency statistics. 
Graphical tools such as heat maps, histograms, and boxplots will be used to assess distributional 
properties of continuous variables. We will illustrate the nature of the relationship between 
SUVmax/radioactivity counts and/or MFI/TBRs and/or drainage pattern across all subjects, the 
relationship will be illustrated with a heat map and spaghetti plot. When appropriate, transformations – 
including a log-based transformation – may be considered to stabilize variance

Sample Size Justification and Power Considerations   
Since this is an early Phase I study, power considerations are limited but even so, we have excellent 
power to detect differences in specificity. With 14 subjects and an average of 30 nodes per subject, we 
expect 420 specimens on which to calculate and compare sensitivity and specificity. However, in 
calculating power, we must account for the clustering or correlation of lymph nodes within subject. 
Although we will use Durkalski’s test to compare sensitivities and specificities, we estimated power by 
first determining the effective sample size (ESS), adjusting for the correlation of LNs within person, and 
then estimated power using McNemar’s test on this ESS. We assumed an intra-class correlation of 0.005, 
yielding an effective sample size of 367 LNs. With an effective sample size of 367, a prevalence of 7.5%, 
a significance level of 0.05, and a 0.3 proportion of discordant pairs, we have greater than 95% power to 
detect a 0.1 difference in specificities, assuming the lower specificity is 0.7. Similarly, we have greater 
than 71% power to detect a 0.25 difference in sensitivity with the one-sided McNemar test. This 
assumes the proportion of discordant pairs is 0.3 and the lower sensitivity is 0.7.

INFORMED CONSENT FORM 
 
Are you participating in any other research studies? _____ Yes _____No 
 
Concise Summary:  We are seeking consent for a research study in which we evaluate 
whether the combined use of 89Zr-panitumumab and panitumumab-IRDye800 can be 
used to identify head and neck cancer that has spread to the lymph nodes. Your 
participation in this study is entirely voluntary. Your decision not to participate will not 
have any negative effect on you or your medical care.   
 
Your participation is expected to take approximately 60 days, including the screening 
period. If you meet all the requirements to participate, you will come to clinic on Day 0 to 
receive 
the 
two 
investigational 
imaging 
agents 
(89Zr-panitumumab 
and 
panitumumab-IRDye800). You will return to clinic on Day 0 to Day Before Surgery to 
have 89Zr-panitumumab PET/CT imaging. Your surgery to remove the cancer tissue will 
occur 2-5 days after receiving the investigational imaging agents. You will be asked to 
return to clinic once after surgery for safety follow up and to check how you are feeling. 
 
The following procedures will occur at different time points during your participation in 
the study: review your medical history and current medications; physical examination, 
electrocardiogram (ECG), and blood draws for lab safety tests and research tests. 
 
There are risks, discomforts, and inconveniences associated with any research study. 
89Zr-panitumumab and panitumumab-IRDye800 both contain the panitumumab 
antibody.  Panitumumab is approved by the US FDA for treatment of certain types of 
advanced colorectal cancer. We do not believe that the study drug will increase your 
chances of experiencing known side effects from treatment with panitumumab; 
however, we do not know this for sure.  The total dose of panitumumab that you will 
receive will be much lower than the usual total dose that is given to patients receiving it 
as treatment for cancer, and you will only receive the study drug once. You may 
experience side effects such as skin reactions, fatigue, nausea, and diarrhea. Infusion 
reactions, including fever, chills, difficulty or labored breathing, and low blood pressure, 
occurred in 4% of patients taking panitumumab.  
 
You may not benefit directly from taking part in this study. However, information 
obtained from your participation in this study may benefit other people with cancer in the 
future. 
 
You do not have to participate in this study. The alternative to participating in this study 
is to undergo your planned surgical procedure without the additional imaging with 
investigational study agents.

Participant ID: 
PURPOSE OF RESEARCH 
You are invited to participate in a research study to examine whether the combined use 
of 89Zr-panitumumab and panitumumab-IRDye800 can be used to identify head and 
neck cancer that has spread to the lymph nodes (metastatic lymph nodes). 
89Zr-panitumumab and panitumumab-IRDye800 are both investigational agents, 
meaning they are not approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for use outside 
of clinical research studies. 
 
Currently, to identify the presence of metastatic lymph nodes during the surgical 
resection of head and neck cancers, patients undergo a neck dissection or sentinel 
node biopsy whereby some or all of the lymph nodes are taken out of the neck and sent 
for pathological evaluation. We hope to show that the combined use of 
89Zr-panitumumab and panitumumab-IRDye800 can help surgeons to identify metastatic 
lymph nodes prior to and during the surgical procedure with equal or better accuracy 
than the current methods.   
 
89Zr-panitumumab is an investigational imaging agent that contains a small amount of 
radiation, which makes it visible in positron emission tomography (PET) scans.  
Panitumumab-IRDye800 is an investigational imaging agent that contains a dye 
molecule that surgeons and researchers can image using light waves both during 
surgery and after the surgery on removed tissues. 
 
If you decide to terminate your participation in this study, you should notify 
 
.   
 
This research study is looking for 14 patients with head and neck cancer that are 
scheduled to undergo surgery for removal of the primary tumor and/or lymph nodes of 
the neck.  Stanford University will be the only site to enroll research study participants 
for this study.  
 
VOLUNTARY PARTICIPATION 
Your participation in this study is entirely voluntary. Your decision not to participate will 
not have any negative effect on you or your medical care. You can decide to participate 
now, but withdraw your consent later and stop being in the study without any loss of 
benefits or medical care to which you are entitled. 
 
DURATION OF STUDY INVOLVEMENT  
Your participation in this research study is expected to take approximately 60 days, with 
up to 30 days for screening to see if you are eligible to participate and approximately 30 
days on study.

PROCEDURES 
If you choose to participate, Dr. Eben Rosenthal and his research team will perform the 
procedures listed below in addition to your normal pre-operative, surgery and follow-up 
clinic visits and examinations. 
 
Screening Period 
If you choose to participate in the study and sign this consent form, you will have to 
undergo the following exams and tests to determine if you are eligible to take part in this 
study. If you have already had some of these exams and tests recently, they may 
not need to be repeated. The screening period will not last more than 30 days.  
 
The following procedures will occur during screening: 
 Review your medical history and current medications. 
 Physical exam, including height, weight, and vital signs (blood pressure, heart 
rate, respiratory rate, and temperature). 
 Performance status – a measure of how you are feeling. 
 Electrocardiogram (ECG) – a test to measure and record the electrical activity of 
your heart.  Sticky pads will be placed at different points on your body and you 
will be asked to lie still while the machine records your heart activity. 
 Blood draw for lab safety tests (approximately 2 teaspoons). 
 Pregnancy test if you are a woman who could have children (approximately ½ 
teaspoon of blood); if you are pregnant or breast feeding you cannot participate 
in this study because of the potential unknown risk to your unborn fetus or baby. 
 Obtain a copy of results from an 18F-FDG PET/CT or 18F-FDG PET/MRI scan that 
was part of your standard of care pre-operative tests. 
 
Day 0 
If you meet all the requirements to participate, you will come to clinic on Day 0 to 
receive the two investigational imaging agents. The following procedures will occur: 
 
Prior to administration of Study Agents 
 Physical exam and performance status; these may be skipped if done for 
Screening within 21 days of Day 0. 
 Blood draw for lab safety tests (approximately 1 teaspoon); this may be skipped if 
done for Screening within 21 days of Day 0. 
 Urine pregnancy test, if you are a woman who could have children; this may be 
skipped if done for Screening within 72 hours (3 days) of Day 0. 
 Record vital signs. 
 Review any current medications. 
 ECG. 
 Blood draw for research samples (approximately 2 teaspoons) to measure: 
o Levels of panitumumab-IRDye800 and 89Zr-panitumumab 
(pharmacokinetics).

o Immune response to study agents (immunogenicity). 
 
Administration of panitumumab-IRDye800:  The first study agent will be infused through 
an intravenous (IV) tube into a vein in your arm.  The infusion will take 15 minutes. You 
will be observed for 30 min for any side effects. 
 Record vital signs immediately after study agent administration. 
 
Administration of 89Zr-panitumumab:  The second study agent will be given as a single 
dose given all at once through the IV tube into a vein in your arm. 
 Record vital signs immediately after study agent administration. 
 
Observation (1 hour):  Safety monitoring for 1 hour after the end of the study agents 
administration to watch for side effects. Your study doctor may prescribe other 
medications to treat or prevent side effects. At any time during this treatment, it is 
important for you to let your doctor or nurse know if you experience anything that does 
not feel normal. 
 Blood draw to measure panitumumab-IRDye800 and 
89Zr-panitumumab 
pharmacokinetics (approximately 1 teaspoon), at end of 1 hour observation 
period. 
 ECG, at end of 1 hour observation period. 
 Record any side effects or medications given, at end of 1 hour observation 
period. 
 
Day 0 to Day Before Surgery 
On Day 0 to Day of Surgery, depending on schedule availability, you will come to clinic 
to have 89Zr-panitumumab PET/CT imaging. The following procedures will occur: 
 Blood draw to measure panitumumab-IRDye800 and 
89Zr-panitumumab 
pharmacokinetics (approximately 1 teaspoon). 
 PET/CT imaging: During image collection, study doctors will collect both PET 
images, which detect the small amount of radiolabeled 89Zr-panitumumab 
imaging agent, and CT images, which uses X-rays, to look at your tissues and 
organs.  You will be asked to lie on a long narrow couch for about 20 minutes 
while the machine gathers data. 
 Record any side effects and review current medications. 
 If possible, based on your tumor location, study doctors may collect images with 
a handheld fluorescence imaging system.  This imaging uses a narrow band of 
(non-visible) light to activate the dye in panitumumab-IRDye800 imaging agent.  
Your study doctor can tell you if this is applicable to you. 
 
Day 2 to 5 
Based on your availability and hospital scheduling, your surgery to remove the cancer 
tissue 
will 
occur 
2-5 
days 
after 
receiving 
89Zr-panitumumab 
and 
panitumumab-IRDye800. On the day of surgery, the following procedures will occur: 
 Record vital signs prior to surgery.

you would receive if you were not part of a research study. The details of this 
surgery will be part of your regular medical care and will be determined by your 
surgeon based on your medical condition.  
o Prior to, and once the surgeon has removed as much cancer as per the 
surgical plan using standard methods, the investigator will use additional 
special cameras (fluorescence cameras) to take extra images of the tumor 
for the study.   
o Prior to, and once the surgeon has removed the lymph nodes from the 
neck per the surgical plan using standard methods, the investigator will 
use additional special cameras (fluorescence cameras) and gamma probe 
to take extra images and measurements of the lymph nodes for the study. 
 Record any side effects and review current medications 
 Pathology evaluations – after removal, tumor and lymph node tissues will be sent 
to the pathology laboratory as standard practice.  
o The research imaging and evaluations will not affect the routine diagnostic 
pathology tests that will be performed on your tissues. 
 
Follow Up (Day 15) 
You will be asked to return to clinic once after surgery for safety follow up and to check 
how you are feeling.  The following procedures will occur: 
 Physical exam and performance status. 
 Record vital signs. 
 Blood draw for lab safety tests (approximately 1 teaspoon), if past lab values 
were not in the normal range. 
 Blood draw for research samples (approximately 2 teaspoons) to measure: 
o Panitumumab-IRDye800 and 89Zr-panitumumab pharmacokinetics. 
o Immunogenicity. 
 ECG. 
 Record any side effects and review current medications. 
 
 
DAY 30 
Your study doctor or research study staff will contact you by telephone or review your 
electronic medical record 30 days after study drug infusion to check for any side effects 
related to study participation. 
 
After all necessary clinical information is obtained from tissues, additional optical 
imaging of archived tissues will be performed in a research laboratory at Stanford 
University to assess location of panitumumab-IRDye800 within the tissues.

donors of samples do not retain any property rights to the materials.  Therefore, you 
would not share in any financial benefits from these products, tests or discoveries. 
 
OPTIONAL Tissue Storage for Future Research  
Research using tissues is an important way to try to understand human disease. You 
have been given this information because the investigators want to save your tissue 
samples for future research. There are several things you should know before allowing 
your tissues to be studied.   
 
Your tissues will be stored in a research laboratory at Stanford University. Samples will 
be labeled with a study ID code number that does not personally identify you. The key 
linking the study ID code with your personal information will not be shared with 
researchers.  Your samples may be sent outside of Stanford for research and analysis. 
 
You have the right to refuse for your tissues to be saved for future study. You may 
withdraw from this study at any time. The investigators might retain the identified 
samples, e.g., as part of your routine clinical care, but not for additional research.  You 
will be told the results of tests that are part of your clinical care, but you will not be told 
the results of the research tests.  
 
Identifiers will be removed from identifiable private information and/or identifiable 
specimens and, after such removal, the information and/or specimens could be used for 
future research studies or distributed to another investigator for future research studies 
without additional informed consent from you. 
 
Allowing the use of your data for future research is optional. You can refuse to 
participate in future research and still take part in the main study. 
 
Please mark one choice: 
 
 
_____ I consent to my samples being saved for future research 
 
 
_____ I do not consent to my samples being saved for future research 
 
OPTIONAL Saving Images for Future Research 
Investigators would like to save the images and data from your PET/CT scans and 
fluorescence imaging for future research projects. Your data will be de-identified 
(removing your name and medical record number), coded for confidentiality, and stored 
at Stanford in a secure, password protected computer. Your name and other personal 
identifiers will not be included in any data shared with other researchers.

POSSIBLE RISKS, DISCOMFORTS, AND INCONVENIENCES  
There are risks, discomforts, and inconveniences associated with any research study.  
These deserve careful thought.  You should talk with the Protocol Director if you have 
any 
questions. 
The 
investigational 
study 
agents, 
89Zr-panitumumab 
and 
panitumumab-IRDye800, may include risks which are not yet known or unforeseeable.  
 
Potential Risks of Panitumumab (VECTIBIX ®) 
89Zr-panitumumab and panitumumab-IRDye800 both contain the panitumumab antibody.  
Panitumumab is approved by the US FDA for treatment of certain types of advanced 
colorectal cancer at dosage of 6 mg/kg given every 14 days. Many of the reported 
adverse events are associated with repeat administration of panitumumab, rather than 
the single dose that you will receive as part of this study. The total dose of panitumumab 
that you will receive will be lower than the usual total dose that is given to patients 
receiving it as treatment for cancer. 
 
The most common side effects patients have experienced when receiving panitumumab 
primarily include skin reactions (including acne-like rash, dry or itchy skin, cracking of 
skin around your nail beds, skin infections, and dry eyes), fatigue, nausea, and diarrhea.  
Monitor skin reactions carefully to prevent serious or life-threatening complications.  
Exposure to sunlight may make skin reactions worse; limit exposure by using sunscreen 
and protective clothing. 
 
Infusion reactions, including fever, chills, difficulty or labored breathing, and low blood 
pressure, occurred in 4% of patients taking panitumumab.  These reactions are most 
likely during or immediately following panitumumab infusion.  Severe infusion reactions 
occurred in 1% of patients.  Based on your study doctor's routine practice, he or she may 
decide to give other drugs, such as an antihistamine called diphenhydramine (Benadryl) 
or steroids, if it's felt necessary to treat a reaction. Tell your doctor or nurse 
immediately if you experience any of the symptoms of an infusion reaction. 
 
Patients receiving repeated doses of panitumumab occasionally had progressively 
decreased magnesium and/or other minerals in the blood.  Your blood chemistry levels 
will be monitored closely during this study, and electrolyte replacement will be given if 
necessary. 
 
There have been rare reports of patients experiencing fatal and non-fatal lung disease 
after treatment with panitumumab.  You should notify your study doctor if you have ever 
had lung disease.  Notify your study doctor immediately if you experience sudden or 
worsening breathing troubles.

Potential Risks of Panitumumab-IRDye800 
Panitumumab-IRDye800 has been tested in 64 humans with head and neck cancer so 
far with no observed side effects or related adverse events. We do not believe that the 
study drug will increase your chances of experiencing known side effects from treatment 
with panitumumab; however, we do not know this for sure. Despite extensive efforts to 
assure your safety, other unexpected side effects could occur. 
 
Animals given this study drug did not experience any severe side effects. There were 
heart rhythm changes during the infusion; however, the animals did not experience any 
physical problems during the infusion or during the monitoring period for 2 weeks after 
the infusion.  Nevertheless, these heart rhythm changes are considered abnormal heart 
rhythms and could indicate serious side effects resulting in death. 
 
Potential Risks of 89Zr-panitumumab 
89Zr-panitumumab has been tested in 5 humans with head and neck cancer so far with no 
observed side effects or related adverse events.  We do not believe that the study drug 
will increase your chances of experiencing known side effects from treatment with 
panitumumab; however, we do not know this for sure. The most common dose-
independent side effects associated with panitumumab are infusion reaction or allergic 
reactions, described in the panitumumab risk section above. 89Zr-panitumumab is 
radioactive, so you will exposed to a small amount of radiation from the study drug. The 
radiation risks are discussed in a separate section below. 
 
Potential Risks of Deferoxamine (DFO, Desferal ®) 
Deferoxamine is a component of 89Zr-panitumumab.  Deferoxamine is approved by the 
US FDA and throughout much of the world for the treatment of acute iron intoxication and 
of chronic iron overload due to transfusion-dependent anemias. Deferoxamine is a metal 
chelator, meaning it binds to a metal atom (in this case, Zirconium-89). The most likely 
possible side effects of deferoxamine include localized reactions at the site of IV 
placement, including irritation, pain; burning; swelling; induration (hardening of the skin); 
itching; redness; rash or scabbing of the skin.  
 
In addition to injection site reactions, deferoxamine can also cause an allergic or 
hypersensitivity reaction in your body. Symptoms of a systemic (whole body) allergic 
reaction include rash, hives, anaphylactic reaction, swelling or tightness of the face or 
throat, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness or fainting, fast heartbeat, and/or low blood 
pressure. Tell your doctor or nurse immediately if you experience any of the 
symptoms of an allergic reaction. 
 
Potential Reproductive Risks 
Women of Childbearing Potential 
Based on data from animal studies, panitumumab may cause fetal harm (organ damage, 
death) when administered to pregnant women. If you are a woman who is able to 
become pregnant, it is expected that you will use an effective method of birth control to

prevent exposing a fetus to a potentially dangerous agent with unknown risk. If you are 
pregnant or currently breast feeding, you may not participate in this study. You 
understand that if you are pregnant, if you become pregnant, or if you are breast-feeding 
during this study, you or your child may be exposed to an unknown risk. 
 
To confirm to the extent medically possible that you are not pregnant, you agree to have 
a pregnancy test done before beginning this research study and within 72 hours receiving 
study agents. You must agree to avoid sexual intercourse or use a birth control method 
judged to be effective by the investigator and which will not interfere with the proposed 
investigation for 30 days after study drug administration. You must accept the risk that 
pregnancy could still result despite the responsible use of reliable method of birth control.  
You agree to notify the investigator as soon as possible of any failure of proper use of 
your birth control method, or if you become pregnant, either of which may result in your 
being withdrawn from the study. 
 
Potential Study Procedure Risks 
Blood Draw/IV: Inserting a needle into your arm for drawing blood, or an IV catheter for 
infusion, can cause slight discomfort or bruising at the puncture site. Lightheadedness 
or fainting may occur.  Rarely, an infection at the puncture site may occur. 
 
ECG:  The adhesive pads used during this procedure may cause mild skin irritation or 
pull out some hairs when removed. 
 
Radiation Risks 
This research study involves exposure to radiation from one 89Zr-panitumumab whole 
body PET/CT scan.  This radiation exposure is not necessary for your medical care and 
is for research purposes only. The additional amount of radiation exposure is about 
17.2 mSv, which is approximately equal to 34% of the limit that radiation workers (for 
example, a hospital x-ray technician) can receive in one year.  This amount of radiation 
involves minimal risk and is necessary to obtain the research information desired. 
 
POTENTIAL BENEFITS 
You may not benefit directly from taking part in this study. However, information obtained 
from your participation in this study may benefit other people with cancer in the future, 
and help determine if 89Zr-panitumumab and/or panitumumab-IRDye800 can be used as 
an alternative for the current standard treatments (sentinel node biopsy, neck dissection) 
for detection of tumor tissue in the lymph node(s).  We cannot and do not guarantee or 
promise that you will receive any benefits from this study. 
 
ALTERNATIVES 
You do not have to participate in this study. The alternative to participating in this study 
is to undergo your planned surgical procedure without the additional imaging with 
investigational study agents.
