In patients with colorectal peritoneal metastases scheduled for cytoreductive surgery, accurate preoperative estimation of tumor burden and subsequent intraoperative detection of all tumor deposits remains challenging. In this study (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03699332) we describe the results of a phase I clinical trial evaluating [In]In-DOTA-labetuzumab-IRDye800CW, a dual-labeled anti-carcinoembryonic antigen (anti-CEA) antibody conjugate that enables both preoperative imaging and intraoperative radioguidance and fluorescence imaging.

Purpose: Intraoperative image guidance may aid in clinical decision-making during surgical treatment of colorectal cancer. We developed the dual-labeled carcinoembryonic antigen-targeting tracer, [In]In-DTPA-SGM-101, for pre- and intraoperative imaging of colorectal cancer. Subsequently, we investigated the tracer in preclinical biodistribution and multimodal image-guided surgery studies, and assessed the clinical feasibility on patient-derived colorectal cancer samples, paving the way for rapid clinical translation.

Purpose: In this exploratory study, the effect of postprocedural flushing with crystalloids after oxaliplatin-based hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) on platinum concentrations in peritoneal tissue, blood, and drain fluid was studied. Interpatient variability in oxaliplatin pharmacokinetics and the relation between platinum concentration in peritoneal fluid and platinum exposure in tissue and blood was explored.

Methods: Ten patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis of colorectal origin were treated with HIPEC including postprocedural flushing, followed by ten patients without flushing afterwards.

Article Synopsis
  • Image-guided surgery can enhance complete tumor removal, but translating preclinical imaging probes to clinical settings is challenging.
  • This study introduces a dual-labelled antibody targeting carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) for imaging during surgery, demonstrating its effectiveness in freshly resected human colorectal tumors.
  • The results showed significantly higher fluorescence in tumor tissue compared to non-tumor tissue, indicating potential for improved surgical precision, while the method may bridge the gap between laboratory research and practical clinical application of imaging agents.
