Recently studied radionuclide delivery systems based on antibodies and antibody fragments

Radionuclide Delivery system Labeling Application Comments Refs.
89Z Diabody Chelation (DFO) PET Molecular imaging of CD4+ T cells throughout the body has implications for monitoring autoimmune disease and immunotherapy of cancer [46]
89Z Diabody Chelation (DFO) PET PET based detection of PSMA in prostatic tumor models [48]
177Lu Nanobody Chelation (DTPA) RIT 177Lu-DTPA-2Rs15d nanobody-based targeted radionuclide therapy in mice bearing small established HER2 positive tumors led to an almost complete blockade of tumor growth [58]
68Ga Nanobody Chelation (NOTA) PET The described agents were capable of highly specific accumulation in the tumor areas and reduced kidney retention comparing to the previously reported Nanobodies due to the removal of histidine tag. Overall the reported tracer proved to be safe in mouse toxicity and dosimetry studies and suggested for further clinical trials [59]
177Lu Affibody ZHER2:342 Chelation (maGGG and maGSG) RIT Successful targeting of HER2 positive microxenografts was confirmed by gamma-camera imaging, and the treatment extended survival in mice with high and low HER2 expressing tumors. However, overall mortality was caused by bone marrow toxicity [67]
111In bsAbs Chelation (DOTA) SPECT, RIT In a first-in-human Phase I study, anti-CEA with anti-HSG TF2 was evaluated in patients with colorectal cancer, with 111In-IMP288 used in the imaging cycle and 177Lu-IMP288 in the following therapy cycle [73]
213Bi bsAbs Chelation (DOTA) RIT The authors demonstrated the usage of Tri-Fab antibody which allowed pretargeting of radiolabeled hapten–peptide IMP-288. In vivo α-emitting hapten 213Bi-IMP288 was shown to be at least as effective as β-emitting hapten 177Lu-IMP288 [75]
