Unlabelled: Monoclonal antibodies (MoAb) labeled with 90Y are being used for radioimmunotherapy. Because 90Y is a beta emitter, quantitative information from imaging is suboptimal. With the concept of a "matched pair" of isotopes, 111In is used as a surrogate markerfor90Y.

Ten patients with advanced or refractory CD5-expressing hematologic neoplasms [two with chronic lymphocytic leukemia and eight with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL)] were treated in a Phase I study with the radioimmunoconjugate 90Y-T101, which targets CD5+ lymphocytes. Prior imaging studies using 111In-T101 demonstrated uptake in involved lymph nodes and skin in patients with CTCL, and Phase I studies with unmodified T101 demonstrated transient responses. In this study, patients were treated with 5 or 10 mCi of 90Y chelated to T101 via isothiocyanatobenzyl diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid, along with tracer doses of 111In-T101 for imaging.

Purpose: COL-1 is a high-affinity murine monoclonal antibody (MAb) specific for carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). A phase I trial was conducted in which a uniform quantity of antibody labeled with escalating doses of iodine 131 (131I) was administered to patients with advanced gastrointestinal (GI) malignancies to evaluate tolerance and pharmacokinetics.

Patients And Methods: Eighteen patients with advanced, assessable GI malignancies (16 colon, one pancreas, and one gastric) previously treated with conventional chemotherapy (but no pelvic radiation) received 20 mg of COL-1 labeled with 131I, with doses from 10 mCi/m2 to 75 mCi/m2.

CC49, a murine monoclonal antibody that recognizes the tumor-associated glycoprotein 72, was conjugated to the chemical chelate 1,4,7,10-tetraaza-1-(1-carboxy-3-(4-aminophenyl) propyl)-tris-4,7,10- ((carboxy)methyl)cyclododecane that had been labeled with a beta emitter, Lu. Preclinical studies had shown that Lu-labeled CC49 caused regression of human colon adenocarcinoma xenografts in nude mice. Patients with advanced adenocarcinoma who had failed standard treatment and whose tumors expressed the tumor-associated glycoprotein 72 antigen were eligible for treatment to determine the maximum tolerated dose of Lu-labeled CC49.
