Summary of reports of radionuclide-induced Cerenkov-activated photodynamic therapy.

Reference Source Photosensitizer Condition Outcome Cerenkov photon yield per cell (200 – 800 nm) Estimated Cerenkov PDT effect [% tumor cells killed] Estimated dose from radionuclide [Gy]
Kotagiri et al 2015 18F TiO-Tf-Tc I.V. injection 2x; HT1080 mouse tumor Median survival increased from 15 to 50 days 1.0×105 0.25 235
18F TiO-Tf-Tc I.V. injection 2x; A549 mouse tumor ~6.5-fold tumor growth inhibition at day 30 compared to control 1.0×105 0.25 235
64Cu TiO-Tf-Tc Direct tumor injection; HT1080 mouse tumor Complete regression at 30 days 4.2×104 0.11 117
Kamkaew et al 2016 89Zr HMSN-Ce6 Direct injection; 4T1 mouse tumor Tumor growth completely inhibited within 14 days post-injection 8.6×105 2.13 973
Hartl et al 2016 90Y TPPS2a In vitro; C6 cells Cell viability decreased ~22% compared to radiation effect alone 1.4×107 29.6 592
Nakamura et al 2017 18F pan-IR700 (panitumumab conjugated to IR700 dye) In vitro; A431-luc cells Decreased A431-luc bioluminescence in dose-dependent manner (in vitro); no significant long-term therapeutic effect (in vivo) 4.13×102 0 4
