Abstract

Purpose: The molecular specificity of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) directed against tumor antigens has proven effective for targeted therapy of human cancers, as shown by a growing list of successful antibody-based drug products. We describe a novel, nonlinear compartmental model using PET-derived data to determine the “best-fit” parameters and model-derived quantities for optimizing biodistribution of intravenously injected 124I-labeled antitumor antibodies. Methods: As an example of this paradigm, quantitative image and kinetic analyses of anti-A33 humanized mAb (also known as “A33”) were performed in 11 colorectal cancer patients. Serial whole-body PET scans of 124I-labeled A33 and blood ..
