Radioimmunotherapy (RIT) has emerged as a potential treatment option for multiple myeloma (MM). In humans, dosimetry study recently showed the relevance of RIT using an antibody targeting CD138 antigen. The therapeutic efficacy anti-CD138 coupled to (213)Bi, α-emitter, was also demonstrated in preclinical MM model. Since then, with β-emitters shown treating hematologic cancer. this paper, we investigate 5T33 murine model new monoclonal labeled either (213)Bi α-RIT or (177)Lu β-RIT.A...

High hematological toxicity has been observed with anti-carcinoembryonic antigen radioimmunotherapy (RIT) in medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), suggesting metastatic bone involvement (BI). This retrospective study evaluated the rate of BI MTC patients enrolled two phase-I/II RIT trials using × anti-diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid bispecific antibodies and [131I]di-diethylenetriamine hapten. Thirty-five underwent scintigraphy, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), post-RIT immunoscintigraphy...

Syndecan-1 (CD138), a heparan sulfate proteoglycan, is constantly expressed on tumor cells in multiple myeloma (MM). This surface antigen an attractive candidate for targeted therapy, especially radioimmunotherapy (RAIT). We report preliminary biodistribution and dosimetry results obtained refractory MM patients phase I/II RAIT study using iodine-131-labeled anti-CD138 (B-B4) monoclonal antibody (mAb). Four with progressive disease were enrolled after three lines of therapy. They received...

Introduction: Dosimetric studies for targeted radiotherapy require the quantification of activity from scintigraphic images. Quantitative imaging is difficult to achieve because several effects that can lead errors in estimates, some which are more apparent when I-131 considered as a source. An evaluation these phenomena was performed by modeling gamma camera and its behavior using Monte Carlo simulations. Two cameras were modeled: DST-XLi Millennium VG Hawk-Eye (GEMS), two codes used: MCNP...

Dosimetric calculations are performed with an increasing frequency before or after treatment in targeted radionuclide therapy, as well for radiation protection purposes diagnostic nuclear medicine. According to the MIRD committee formalism, mean absorbed dose a target is given by product of cumulated activity and dose-conversion factor, known S factor. Standard factors have been published mathematic phantoms unit-density spheres. The accuracy results from use these questionable, because...

Abstract BACKGROUND: Maximum injected activity in radioimmunotherapy (RIT) is limited by bone marrow toxicity. Many dosimetric approaches have been proposed, leading to high variability the results and elusive absorbed dose‐effect relations. This study presents of red (RM) dose estimates performed with 3 methods. METHODS: Five patients received 2 co‐infusions 90 Y‐labeled (370 MBq/m2) 111 In‐ labeled (120 MBq) epratuzumab (1.5 mg/kg) 1 week apart. RM‐absorbed was estimated methodologies. The...

A phase I pretargeted radioimmunotherapy trial (EudractCT 200800603096) was designed in patients with metastatic lung cancer expressing carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) to optimize bispecific antibody and labeled peptide doses, as well the delay between their injections.Three cohorts of three received anti-CEA × anti-histamine-succinyl-glycine (HSG)-humanized trivalent (TF2) IMP288 bivalent HSG peptide. Patients underwent a pretherapeutic imaging session S1 (44 or 88 nmol/m(2) TF2 followed by...

Point kernels describe the energy deposited at a certain distance from an isotropic point source and are useful for nuclear medicine dosimetry. They can be used absorbed-dose calculations sources of various shapes also tool when comparing different Monte Carlo (MC) codes.
