Composition of Studied Compounds
- Metal Radionuclide
- BFCA
- Linker
- Peptide
Results and Findings
- Phase of Trials
- Cancer Type Studied
- Imaging Technique Used
- Benefits/Limitations/Conclusion
Reference
- 68Ga
- DOTA
- x
- TOC, TATE
- clinical, 10 patients
- metastatic NET
- PET, PET/CT
- reduced signal from the liver achieved; methodology improvement needed for implementation of parametric-based kinetic analysis
[142]
- 99mTc, 177Lu
- DOTA, HYNIC, EDDA
-6-carboxy-1,4,8,11-tetraazaundecane (N4)
-p-Cl-Phe-cyclo(d-Cys-Tyr-d-Trp-Lys-Thr-Cys)d-Tyr-NH2
- preclinical in vitro, in vivo
- kidneys
- SPECT/CT
- more useful biodistribution results for a highly potent [99mTc]Tc-N4-conjugate than with lutetium-177; HYNIC-conjugate with complete loss of SSTR-2 affinity
[143]
- 68Ga
- DOTA, NODAGA
- x
- JR11, TOC
- clinical, 12 patients
- GEP-NET
- PET/CT
- very high TBR and image contrast of liver lesions for [68Ga]Ga-NODAGA-JR11; studies in larger patient group proven
[60]
- 68Ga
- DOTA, fluorescein isothiocyanate
- x
-PA1, TATE
- preclinical in vitro, in vivo
- lung, colorectal and gastric
- microPET
- effective tumor targeting and lower kidney accumulation of [68Ga]Ga-DOTA-PA1; a potential for PET/CT of SSTR-positive tumors (especially lung) suggested
[144]
- 64Cu
- NODAGA, DOTA
- x
- JR11, TATE
- preclinical in vitro, in vivo
- kidneys
- microPET
- more favorable in vivo pharmacokinetics, low levels in the liver, spleen and rapid blood clearance for [64Cu]Cu-NODAGA-JR11 with further development for clinical translation
[145]
- 99mTc
- HYNIC, EDDA, tricine
- x
- TATE
- preclinical in vitro, in vivo; clinical, 6 patients
- NET
- SPECT/CT
- reproducible kit with 2.96 GBq/6 mL formulated, but some differences in tumor uptake occurred
[146]
- 68Ga
- DOTA
- x
- TOC
- clinical, 4 patients
- GEP-NET
- PET/MRI
- sensitive and accurate evaluation of the liver, but limited accuracy of MRI related to lung and bone diseases
[147]
- 68Ga
- DATA
- x
- TOC
- clinical, 53 patients
- GEP-NET
- PET/CT
- comparable imaging profile of [68Ga]Ga-DATA-TOC with DOTA-NOC; DATA-conjugate useful for instant kit labeling
