Unlabelled: Although peptide radionuclide therapy (PRRT) using a somatostatin analog (SSA) radiolabeled with a beta- emitter: [Lu]Lu-DOTATATE has shown a good clinical efficacy in neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), most of the patients only achieved tumoral stabilization and rare but severe long-term hematological toxicities have been reported. One of the promising options to improve PRRT is targeted alpha therapy. It is therefore essential to propose animal models that can mimic systemic spread disease, especially microscopic disease such as early stage of NET liver metastases to explore targeted alpha therapy.

Article Synopsis
  • In acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), interleukin-6 (IL-6) is linked to chemotherapy resistance and worse patient outcomes, prompting researchers to explore tocilizumab, an anti-IL-6 receptor monoclonal antibody, as a potential treatment in combination with standard chemotherapy.
  • A phase 1 trial at Nantes University Hospital tested three escalating doses of tocilizumab in adults with newly diagnosed or relapsed AML, aiming to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) while monitoring safety and treatment responses.
  • Of the 12 patients treated, no significant toxicities related to tocilizumab were observed, nine out of ten evaluable patients had a positive response to the treatment, indicating

Although the concept of theranostics is neither new nor exclusive to nuclear medicine, it is a particularly promising approach for the future of nuclear oncology. This approach is based on the use of molecules targeting specific biomarkers in the tumour or its microenvironment, associated with optimal radionuclides which, depending on their emission properties, allow the combination of diagnosis by molecular imaging and targeted radionuclide therapy (TRT). Copper-64 has suitable decay properties (both β and β- decays) for PET imaging and potentially for TRT, making it both an imaging and therapy agent.

Despite the growing interest in radioiodine and At-labeled radiopharmaceuticals, the search for radiolabeling reactions has been somewhat neglected, resulting in a limited number of available radiosynthetic strategies. Herein we report a comparative study of nucleophilic I and At-labeling of aryliodonium ylides. Whereas radioiodination efficiency was low, At-labeling performed efficiently on a broad scope of precursors.
