Optimization of radioimmunotherapy of renal cell carcinoma: labeling of monoclonal antibody cG250 with 131I, 90Y, 177Lu, or 186Re.

Radioimmunotherapy (RIT) can be performed with various radionuclides. We tested the stability, biodistribution, and therapeutic efficacy of various radioimmunoconjugates ((131)I, (88/90)Y, (177)Lu, and (186)Re) of chimeric antirenal cell cancer monoclonal antibody G250 (mAb cG250) in nude mice with subcutaneous renal cell cancer (RCC) tumors. METHODS: The (88/90)Y and (177)Lu labeling procedures of cG250 conjugated with cyclic diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid anhydride (cDTPA), isothiocyanatobenzyl-DTPA (SCN-Bz-DTPA), or 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecanetetraacetic acid (DOTA) were characterized. Stability of the labeled conjugates in plasma at 37 degrees C was assessed. Biodistribution and therapeutic efficacy of labeled cG250 were compared in nude mice with SK-RC-52 human RCC xenografts. RESULTS: Both SCN-Bz-DTPA and DOTA were stable in vitro (<5% release of the radiolabel during 14 and 21 d of incubation) and in vivo (uptake in bone 相似文献   

Prognostic relevance of carbohydrate antigen 19-9 levels in patients with advanced biliary tract cancer.

Serum carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9) has been identified as biochemical marker for biliary tract cancer (BTC). The purpose of this study was to evaluate its value as a treatment response marker and its value as a prognostic parameter in patients with unresectable BTC. We analyzed 70 patients with BTC treated with chemotherapy. CA 19-9 levels before and after two treatment courses were analyzed with respect to their effect on treatment response. Patients were categorized into two subgroups according to biliary stenting: patients without endoscopic intervention or biliary drainage (non-stent subgroup) and patients with endoluminal stenting (stent subgroup). Pretreatment CA 19-9 levels were prognostic with respect to overall survival for the entire study population. Patients with CA 19-9 levels above the median of 300 units/mL had a nearly 3-fold risk for early death (hazard ratio, 2.92; 95% confidence interval, 1.51-5.64; adjusted P = 0.002) as compared with patients with CA 19-9 levels 相似文献
