This is a Phase 3, multi-center, randomized and intrasubject controlled study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of abenacianine for injection, a tumor-targeted, activatable fluorescent imaging agent, to identify cancer using NIR imaging in participants undergoing surgery for cancer in the lung. Approximately 132 partiipants will be enrolled to ensure a minimum of 115 evaluable participants receiving abenacianine and undergoing NIR imaging and a control group of 12 participants who will receive abenacianine but no NIR imaging.
