Study Summary

The primary purpose of this study was to determine the optimal dose of ASP5354 for ureter visualization in participants undergoing laparoscopic/minimally invasive colorectal surgery This study also investigated the safety, tolerability and the pharmacokinetics of ASP5354 in participants undergoing laparoscopic/minimally invasive colorectal surgery.

Primary Outcome

The anatomical visualization of the index ureter(s) was assessed by the investigator intraoperatively using a binary "Yes or No" question on the ability to visualize the ureter and was assessed as successful, if both 30 minutes after pudexacianinium chloride dosing and at end of surgery the visualization was assessed as positive (Yes)/successful. For imputation of missing values at 30 minutes after pudexacianinium chloride administration, the nearest time points before and after the 30 minutes w
