Determination of human absorbed dose of cocktail of 153Sm/177Lu-EDTMP, based on biodistribution data in rats

Human Absorbed Dose Evaluation of [177Lu]Lu-IBA as a Bone Palliative Candidate

The role of lutetium-177 among bone-seeking radionuclides in targeted therapy is noteworthy. The clinical pharmacokinetics of ibandronate (IBA) indicates that this bisphonate has powerful bone mineral affinity. The aim of this study was to evaluate of [¹⁷⁷Lu]Lu-IBA efficacy as a new compound.The [¹⁷⁷Lu]Lu-IBA was prepared by radiolabeling of IBA ligand to ¹⁷⁷LuCl3 that was obtained by thermal neutron irradiation of enriched Lu2O3 sample. Produced [¹⁷⁷Lu]Lu-IBA with high radiochemical purity was administered intravenously to mice. Biodistribution data were collected at 1, 4, 24, 48 h and 7 d post injections. With calculating accumulated activities in each organ and extrapolating mouse's organs to human's organs by the RADAR method and using OLINDA/EXM software the injected dose in various human organs was achieved.[¹⁷⁷Lu]Lu-IBA was produced with radiochemical purity nearly 96 %. Its biodistribution data showed the high uptake and durability in the skeletal tissues without significant uptake in other major organs.The results showed that [¹⁷⁷Lu]Lu-IBA has considerably good properties as a bone-seeking radiopharmaceutical and therefore can be a candidate for bone pain palliative therapy in skeletal metastases; however, further biological studies are still needed.

ESTIMATION OF HUMAN DOSE OF 188/186RE-HEDP COCKTAIL BASED ON OLINDA/EXM AND DISTRIBUTION DATA IN RATS

188Re and 186Re are two applicable rhenium medical radioisotopes with complementary features that make them beneficial for different sizes of tumours. The aim of this study is to investigate 188/186Re-HEDP efficacy as a cocktail by calculating absorbed radiation dose in human organs based on biodistribution data obtained by injecting it to normal rats. Three rats were sacrificed at different time intervals and the percentage of injected dose per gram of each organ was measured by direct counting from rat data. By calculating accumulated activities in each organ and extrapolating rat data to human data by the radiation dose assessment resource method and by using OLINDA/EXM software, the injected dose in various human organs was obtained. The calculated absorbed dose showed that the 188/186Re-HEDP has noticeable properties that can be more helpful in comparison with using each of the rhenium radioisotopes separately.
