This phase I/II trial studies the side effects of tozuleristide in imaging oral cavity squamous cell cancer and high-grade oral cavity dysplasia during surgery. Tozuleristide is an imaging agent that specifically binds to tumor cells. When exposed to near-infrared light, tozuleristide causes tumor cells to fluoresce (light up), so that surgeons may better distinguish tumor cells from healthy cells during surgery.
OUTLINE: Beginning 1 hour before surgery, patients receive tozuleristide intravenously (IV) over 1-5 minutes. Patients then surgical resection per standard of care and undergo near infrared (NIR) imaging with standard of care device.

Number of Adverse Events (AEs)
Adverse events will be summarized as the number of each type of adverse event, per Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0.
Time frame: 7-21 days after drug administration
Number of Subjects Without Tumor Fluorescence After Receiving Tozuleristide
Number of subjects whose tumors did not show discernible fluorescence compared to background
Time frame: Measured at time of surgery 1 to 30 hours after receiving tozuleristide
Number of Participants for Which Negative Margins Were Achieved in Tozuleristide-guided Oral Cavity Tumor Excision
To investigate the accuracy of tozuleristide fluorescent imaging in identifying tumor and achieving negative margins during excision of oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma and high-grade dysplasia.
Time frame: Surgery performed following tozuleristide injection 1-30 hours prior to surgery
