The purpose of this study is to determine whether an experimental drug called ASP5354 can assist surgeons in visualizing the ureters during surgery, as well as to assess the safety of ASP5354. The ureters are tubes that transport urine from the kidney to the bladder. Usually, the body has two ureters (one for each kidney). Ureters can be challenging to see during minimally invasive surgeries (performed through small incisions) and open abdominal or pelvic surgeries. As a result, there is a small (1 in 200 or less) chance for surgeons to injure a ureter during surgery. ASP5354 is a dye that is visible on imaging devices and manifests as a green color under near-infrared fluorescence light with special cameras. ASP5354 may improve the surgeons’ ability to identify the ureters during surgery. Study procedures include collection of blood samples, ECG, administration of ASP5354, and ureter visualization tests using both white light and near-infrared fluorescence.
