Iodine-131 labelled meta-iodobenzylguanidine ([131I]MIBG) is used for diagnostic scintigraphy and radionuclide therapy of neural crest-derived tumours. After administration of therapeutic doses of [131I]MIBG (3.1-7.5 GBq) to 17 patients (n=32 courses), aged 2-73 years, 56%+/-10%, 73%+/-11%, 80%+/-10% and 83%+/-10% of the dose was cumulatively excreted as total radioactivity in urine at t=24 h, 48 h, 72 h and 96 h, respectively. Except for two adult patients, who showed excretion of 14%-18% of [131I]meta-iodohippuric acid ([131I]MIHA), the cumulatively excreted radioactivity consisted of >85% [131I]MIBG, with 6% of the dose excreted as free [131I]iodide, 4% as [131I]MIHA and 2.5% as an unknown iodine-131 labelled metabolite. Cumulative renal excretion rates of total radioactivity and of [131I]MIBG appeared to be higher in neuroblastoma and phaeochromocytoma patients than in carcinoid patients. Based on the excretion of small amounts of [131I]meta-iodobenzoic acid in two patients, a possible metabolic pathway for [131I]MIBG is suggested. The degree of metabolism was not related to the extent of liver uptake of radioactivity.

Safety and toxicity of Iopofosine I 131 (CLR 131) with external beam radiation therapy in recurrent or metastatic head and neck cancer: results of a phase 1 single-centre, open-label, single-arm, dose escalation and dose expansion study.

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.

Background: ESTIMABL2, a multicentre randomised phase 3 trial in patients with low-risk differentiated thyroid cancer (ie, pT1am or pT1b, N0 [no evidence of regional nodal involvement] or Nx [involvement of regional lymph nodes that cannot be assessed in the absence of neck dissection]), showed the non-inferiority of a follow-up strategy without radioactive iodine (I) administration compared with a postoperative I administration at 3 years post-randomisation. Here, we report a pre-specified analysis after 5 years of follow-up.
Methods: Patients treated with total thyroidectomy with or without prophylactic neck lymph node dissection, without postoperative suspicious findings on neck ultrasonography, were randomly assigned to the no-radioiodine group or to the radioiodine group (1·1 GBq-30 mCi after recombinant human thyrotropin-stimulating hormone).

Article Synopsis
- Gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) can be easily labeled with radioactive iodine, making them promising tools for tumor treatment and diagnosis in cancer therapy.
- This study evaluated the stability and effectiveness of iodine-adsorbed Au NPs in targeting tumors, using various conditions to analyze their performance.
- The results indicate that these iodine-adsorbed Au NPs are stable, effective in inhibiting tumor cells, and show therapeutic potential when injected into tumors in living subjects.

Intracellular ATP is released outside cells by various stimuli and is involved in cytoprotection by activating purinergic receptors. However, it remains unclear whether targeted radionuclide therapy induces extracellular ATP release. Here, we prepared I-labeled trastuzumab (I-trastuzumab) and examined extracellular ATP release and its roles in I-trastuzumab's growth inhibitory effects.

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.
