Background: Re-irradiation of recurrent head and neck cancer (HNC) is often limited by tumour adherence to critical structures and/or radiation tolerance of critical normal tissues. Iopofosine I 131 (CLR 131) is a targeted small molecular phospholipid ether (PLE) drug conjugate that delivers iodine-131 selectively to tumour cells. We conducted a phase 1, single-centre, open-label study to determine whether CLR 131 given with reduced dose of external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) would be tolerable and feasible.

Radionuclide theranostics - a fast-growing emerging field in radiopharmaceutical sciences and nuclear medicine - offers a personalised and precised treatment approach by combining diagnosis with specific and selective targeted endoradiotherapy. This concept is based on the application of the same molecule, labelled with radionuclides possessing complementary imaging and therapeutic properties, respectively. In radionuclide theranostics, radionuclide pairs consisting of the same element, such as Cu/Cu, Pb/Pb or I/I are of significant interest due to their identical chemical and pharmacological characteristics.

This study evaluates the efficacy of [I]I-ERIC1 in targeting and inhibiting the growth of SCLC tumors in mice, focusing on tumor accumulation and regression and potential side effects. NCAM-positive NCI-H69 SCLC cells were implanted in CB 17 SCID mice, and [I]I-ERIC1 biokinetics were measured in organs and tissues at four post-injection time points (24, 72, 96, and 120 h). The experimental series compared tumor growth, survival, and changes in blood counts among three treatment groups (1, 2, or 3 MBq) and a control group, with treatments initiated either two or five days post implantation.

Purpose: Thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR) is a G-protein coupled receptor that is highly expressed on benign and malignant thyroid tissues. TSHR binding and activation has long been a component of thyroid cancer molecular imaging and radiotherapy, by promoting expression of the sodium-iodide symporter (NIS) and incorporation of I-131 into thyroid hormones. Here, we report the radiosynthesis and preclinical evaluation of a Zirconium-89 (Zr) labeled TSHR antibody to serve as a positron emission tomography (PET) diagnostic correlate for therapeutic agents targeting TSHR without reliance on NIS.

Purpose: This study aimed to assess the accuracy of patient-specific absorbed dose calculations for tumours and organs at risk in radiopharmaceutical therapy planning, utilizing hybrid planar-SPECT/CT imaging.
Methods: Three Monte Carlo (MC) simulated digital patient phantoms were created, with time-activity data for mIBG labelled to I-123 (LEHR and ME collimators) and I-131 (HE collimator). The study assessed the accuracy of the mean absorbed doses for I-131-mIBG therapy treatment planning.
