Previous experimental results in nude mice showing that radiolabeling the monoclonal antibody anti-CEA 35 with 67Ga-aminooxyacetyldeferroxamine could give better tumor localization than radioiodination prompted us to initiate the present clinical study. The 67Ga-labeled antibody anti-CEA 35 (185 MBq, 0.7-1.7 mg) was injected preoperatively into 14 patients for colorectal carcinoma imaging. The same antibody labeled with 125I (3.7 MBq, 0.25 mg) was injected simultaneously to compare the 67Ga and 125I dose recoveries in surgical specimens. Twelve of 14 primary tumors gave a positive 67Ga scintigraph. The mean %ID/g recovered in all tumors 3-9 days after injection was significantly higher for 67Ga (0.019%) than for 125I (0.005%) (p < 0.001, paired t test). The tumor-to-normal tissue ratios were generally higher for 67Ga, with the exception of liver. We conclude that 67Ga-aminooxyacetyldeferroxamine improved immunoscintigraphy outside the liver, particularly in the pelvic region. We ...
Anti-CEA and Other Antibodies in the Study of Gastrointestinal Tumors

Localization of gastrointestinal tumors by means of labeled monoclonal antibodies is a new, sensitive and suitable technique currently used in several centers. Encouraging results have been documented with several monoclonal antibodies by different authors. This article reviews our experience with radioimmunoscintigraphy in 59 patients with colorectal cancer in follow-up, using 131I and 111In labeled B72.3, and in 16 patients with primary gastrointestinal tumors using 99mTc anti-CEA monoclonal antibody (type F023C5). The sensitivity of both B72.3 and anti-CEA was greater than 70% either for primary tumors and abdominal recurrences or distant metastases except hepatic ones. A significant gradient in antibody uptake was measured on surgical biopsies between tumors and normal tissues allowing a good in vivo contrast for gamma detection. We have defined the impact of some factors affecting in vivo tumor targeting. In fact, pharmacodynamics of MAbs, percentage of injected dose bound to t...

Chimeric T84.66 (cT84.66) is a high-affinity (1.16x10(11) M(-1)) IgG1 monoclonal antibody against carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). The purpose of this pilot trial was to evaluate the tumor-targeting properties, biodistribution, pharmacokinetics and immunogenicity of 111In-labeled cT84.66 as a function of administered antibody protein dose. Patients with CEA-producing colorectal cancers with localized disease or limited metastatic disease who were scheduled to undergo definitive surgical resection were each administered a single intravenous dose of 5 mg of isothiocyanatobenzyl diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid-cT84.66, labeled with 5 mCi of 111In. Before receiving the radiolabeled antibody, patients received unlabeled diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid-cT84.66. The amount of unlabeled antibody was 0, 20 or 100 mg, with five patients at each level. Serial blood samples, 24-hr urine collections and nuclear images were collected until 7 days postinfusion. Human antichimeric antibody res...

Most radioimmunotherapy studies on radiolabeled antibody distribution are based on autoradiographic and radioluminographic data, which provide a lack of detailed information due to low resolution. We used fluorescently labeled anti^carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) antibody (A5B7) to investigate quantitatively the kinetics and microdistribution of antibody in a clinically relevant orthotopic colorectal cancer model (LS174T) using high-resolution digital microscopy. Experimental Design: Nude mice bearing LS174T liver orthotopic tumors received a single i.v. injection of fluorescently labeled A5B7 and were sacrificed at 10 minutes, 1hour, or 24 hours postinjection. Before sacrifice, mice were injected with the perfusion marker Hoechst 33342. An anti-CD31 antibody was used to detect blood vessel distribution. Cryostat sections were processed with immunofluorescence procedures and analyzed with fluorescence microscopy and image analysis techniques. The fluorescence images were related to morphologic images of the same or adjacent tumor sections. Results: Fluorescently labeled antibody showed rapid, selective uptake into tumor deposits, with a strong negative correlation with tumor size at 10 minutes and 1 hour (P V 0.01). By 24 hours, the correlation was no longer significant. The study showed movement of antibody across the tumor with time and a tendency to localize more uniformly by later time points (24 hours).The rate of antibody motility was similar in small and large tumor metastases, but small deposits showed more rapid antibody localization. Intratumoral vessels were positively related to tumor size (P V 0.001). Conclusion: The obtained data suggest that radioimmunotherapy can be highly efficient in an adjuvant or minimal residual disease setting.

Antibody LiCO 16.88 is a human IgM recognizing a 30-to 45-kDa intracytoplasmic antigen present in human adenocarcinoma cells. An 8-rag sample of antibody labeled with 5 mCi 131I was co-administered i.v. with 120 mg (three patients), 240 mg (three patients) or 480 mg (four patients) unlabeled antibody as a 4-h infusion. The plasma half-life was 24 _ 1.2 h and the immediate apparent volume of distribution was 5.2_+ 0.2 1 at the 28-rag dose level. The plasma half-lives and the cumulative urinary excretion of radiolabel did not seem to vary significantly with increasing doses of unlabeled antibody. However, both the volume of distribution and the clearance rate from plasma increased significantly with increasing antibody dose. Uptake of antibody into tumor tissues obtained during laparotomy 8-9 days after administration varied between 0.00002% ID/g and 0.00127% ID/g. In five of seven patients, the tumor content of antibody was higher than that in adjacent normal tissue. Tumor-to-normal tissue ratios ranged from 0.8 to 10 (2 = 3.8-t-1.0). In general, the higher radioactivity(cpm)/g tumor was confirmed by both immunoperoxidase and autoradiography. Antibody 16.88 localizes in tumors after administration and may be considered for use in radioimmunotherapy trials.
