Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the biodistribution and dosimetry of lutetium-177-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid (177Lu-DOTA)-rituximab in CD20+ non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and other hematological malignancies treated with rituximab.
Methods: The standard dosimetry protocol was used, with cold rituximab infusion, then a diagnostic activity of 177Lu-DOTA-rituximab. Planar images were acquired at multiple time points. Normal organs and tumor dosimetry were performed by using organ and tumor-specific regions of interest and whole-body counts were obtained serially after pixel matched, background, scatter, and attenuation correction. The mean radiation absorbed doses were obtained from OLINDA/EXM v2.1.1 and ORIGIN software.
Results: A total of 22 patients were included in this study. Prolonged blood pool clearance of 177Lu-DOTA-rituximab with long residence time in the blood pool and normal organs were observed. The whole body effective half-life was 104.5 ± 22 h. The mean total body radiation absorbed dose was 0.208 ± 0.03 mGy/MBq and the mean total body effective dose was 0.196 ± 0.05 mGy/MBq of 177Lu-DOTA-rituximab. The mean radiation absorbed doses of 0.613 ± 0.21, 1.68 ± 2, 1.01 ± 0.42, and 0.136 ± 0.02mGy/MBq were seen for the liver, spleen, kidneys, and bone marrow, respectively. Tumor lesion uptake was noticed in two patients with tumor radiation absorbed doses were 0.842 mGy/MBq in one and 9.9 mGy/MBq in the other patient. A strong correlation was obtained between the cumulative activities of radiation-absorbed doses derived from ORIGIN and OLINDA software methods at a significant P value less than 0.001.
Conclusion: The results of our study demonstrated favorable biodistribution and dosimetry of indigenously produced 177Lu-DOTA-rituximab in patients with CD20+ lymphoma. These results can be used for future studies of radioimmunotherapy employing 177Lu-DOTA-rituximab.
期刊介绍:
Nuclear Medicine Communications, the official journal of the British Nuclear Medicine Society, is a rapid communications journal covering nuclear medicine and molecular imaging with radionuclides, and the basic supporting sciences. As well as clinical research and commentary, manuscripts describing research on preclinical and basic sciences (radiochemistry, radiopharmacy, radiobiology, radiopharmacology, medical physics, computing and engineering, and technical and nursing professions involved in delivering nuclear medicine services) are welcomed, as the journal is intended to be of interest internationally to all members of the many medical and non-medical disciplines involved in nuclear medicine. In addition to papers reporting original studies, frankly written editorials and topical reviews are a regular feature of the journal.
