This phase I trial evaluates the safety and effectiveness of using two imaging techniques, indium In 111 panitumumab (111In-panitumumab) with single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)/computed tomography (CT) and panitumumab-IRDye800 fluorescence imaging during surgery (intraoperative), to detect disease in patients with head and neck cancer. 111In-panitumumab is an imaging agent made of a monoclonal antibody that has been labeled with a radioactive molecule called indium In 111. The agent targets and binds to receptors on tumor cells. This allows the cells to be visualized and assessed with SPECT/CT imaging techniques. SPECT is special type of CT scan in which a small amount of a radioactive drug is injected into a vein and a scanner is used to make detailed images of areas inside the body where the radioactive material is taken up by the cells. CT is an imaging technique for examining structures within the body by scanning them with x-rays and using a computer to construct a series of cross-sectional scans along a single axis. Panitumumab-IRDye800 is an imaging agent composed of panitumumab, a monoclonal antibody, linked to a fluorescent dye called IRDye800. Upon administration, panitumumab-IRDye800 targets and binds to receptors on tumor cells. This allows the tumor cells to be detected using fluorescence imaging during surgery. Adding 111In-panitumumab SPECT/CT imaging to intraoperative panitumumab-IRDye800 fluorescence imaging may be more effective at detecting disease in patients with head and neck cancer.
Primary Objective: \- Assess the safety of the dual modality imaging (DMI) molecular agents, indium In 111 panitumumab (111In-panitumumab) and panitumumab-IRDye800, in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: * Determine the sensitivity and specificity of 111In-panitumumab and panitumumab-IRDye800 for the detection of subclinical disease during primary tumor removal. * Determine sensitivity and specificity of 111In-panitumumab and panitumumab-IRDye800 for detection of lymph nodes. OUTLINE: Patients receive panitumumab-IRDye800 intravenously (IV) over 15 minutes followed by 111In-panitumumab IV on day 0. Patients then undergo SPECT/CT between days 1 and 5, prior to standard of care surgical resection with fluorescence imaging. After completion of study intervention, patients are followed up at day 15.

RECRUITINGNumber of grade 2 or higher adverse events
Will assess the number of grade 2 or higher adverse events determined to be significant and definitely or probably related to the study drugs. Adverse events will be evaluated using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0 and summarized by grade, severity, and type.
Time frame: Up to day 15
Sensitivity of 111In-panitumumab and panitumumab-IRDy800 for the detection of tumor-involved margins
Detection of a positive margin defined as 1) presence of tumor within 5 mm of the cut surface of the specimen by using fluorescence imaging and 2) residual tumor present after removal of primary specimen by using fluorescence imaging and nuclear (gamma) signal in the wound bed. Findings will be compared to final histopathology as a reference standard. Presence of positive margin and residual tumor in the wound bed will be analyzed separately. Will calculate sensitivity with its 95% confidence interval. Will further perform McNemar's agreement test to examine whether there is any evidence of disagreement between these two sets of results.
Time frame: Up to 4 years

Sensitivity of 111In-panitumumab and panitumumab-IRDy800 for the detection of tumor-involved lymph nodes
Intraoperatively, the number and location of tumor-positive lymph nodes will be determined using gamma signal and fluorescence imaging in the same format that surgeons have used during sentinel node mapping. Will perform near infrared fluorescence imaging and determine if these fluorescent lymph node(s) contain 111In-panitumumab via gamma tracing. All lymph nodes will be compared to gold standard histopathology for presence of disease.
