Primary • To explore the use of OTL38 and fluorescence imaging to detect RCC in partial nephrectomy at the margins of resection, and in lymph node(s) or other metastases during radical nephrectomy.
Administration of the study drug, OTL38, will begin prior to skin incision in the preoperative area where safety monitoring will occur. The tumor resection occurs approximately 2 hours after being brought back to the operating room and so there is no wait time between infusion and being taken back to operating room. Intraoperative fluorescent imaging will be utilized in parallel with the standard operating procedure to capture images during surgery. Images also will be taken of the excised specimen on the back table. The excised specimen will be sent to the pathology department for fluorescent imaging and immunohistochemistry for FR. Subjects will have a 2-5 day hospital stay (normal nephrectomy recovery period) where safety measurements will be taken. Final safety measurements will be taken at the 10-day and 1-month follow-up visits.

OTL38 is a folate analog conjugated with a fluorescent dye that emits light in the near infrared spectrum. This longer wavelength allows for deeper penetration of the fluorescent light through tissues with the potential to better image tumors beneath adipose tissue or deeper into organ parenchyma.

Number of Participants With Presence of Fluorescence of cT1 RCC in Partial Nephrectomy Specimens
Pathology results will be compared with immunohistochemistry results for each patient. Fluorescence will be looked for in the margins of resection for partial nephectomy and in regional lymph nodes and metastases for radical nephrectomy.
Time frame: During procedure, an average of 2 hours
