Abstract
Mature lymphoproliferative diseases are a heterogeneous group of neoplasms arising from different stages of B-cell and T-cell development. With improved understanding of the molecular processes in lymphoma and novel treatment options, arises a growing need for the molecular characterisation of tumours. Molecular imaging with single-photon-emission CT and PET using specific radionuclide tracers can provide whole-body information to investigate cancer biology, to evaluate phenotypic heterogeneity, to identify resistance to targeted therapy, and to assess the biodistribution of drugs in patients. In this Review, we evaluate the existing literature on molecular imaging in lymphoma, other than 18F-fluordeoxyglucose molecular imaging. The aim is to examine the contribution of molecular imaging to the understanding of the biology of lymphoma and to discuss potential implications for the diagnostics and therapy of this disease. Finally, we discuss possible applications for molecular imaging of patients with lymphoma in the clinical context.

Abstract
Direct, regioselective and metal-free synthesis of fused N-heterocyclic iodides is reported. This regioselective C-H functionalization is mediated by tert-butylhydroperoxide (TBHP), via dual activation of molecular iodine and a heterocyclic substrate, resulting in the in situ generation of electrophilic iodine species (I(+)), and free radical(s) (t)BuO˙ or (t)BuOO˙, driving the iodination reaction.

Abstract
This paper reviews some aspects and recent developments in the use of antibodies to target radionuclides for tumor imaging and therapy. While radiolabeled antibodies have been considered for many years in this context, only a few have reached the level of routine clinical use. However, alternative radionuclides, with more appropriate physical properties, such as lutetium-177 or copper-67, as well as alpha-emitting radionuclides, including astatine-211, bismuth-213, actinium-225, and others are currently reviving hopes in cancer treatments, both in hematological diseases and solid tumors. At the same time, PET imaging, with short-lived radionuclides, such as gallium-68, fluorine-18 or copper-64, or long half-life ones, particularly iodine-124 and zirconium-89 now offers new perspectives in immuno-specific phenotype tumor imaging. New antibody analogues and pretargeting strategies have also considerably improved the performances of tumor immunotargeting and completely renewed the interest in these approaches for imaging and therapy by providing theranostics, companion diagnostics and news tools to make personalized medicine a reality.

Abstract
A known limitation of iodine radionuclides for labeling and biological tracking of receptor targeted proteins is the tendency of iodotyrosine to rapidly diffuse from cells following endocytosis and lysosomal degradation. In contrast, radiometal-chelate complexes such as indium-111-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid (In-111-DOTA) accumulate within target cells due to the residualizing properties of the polar, charged metal-chelate-amino acid adduct. Iodine radionuclides boast a diversity of nuclear properties and chemical means for incorporation, prompting efforts to covalently link radioiodine with residualizing molecules. Herein, we describe the Ugi-assisted synthesis of [I-125]HIP-DOTA, a 4-hydroxy-3-iodophenyl (HIP) derivative of DOTA, and demonstration of its residualizing properties in a murine xenograft model. Overall, this study displays the power of multicomponent synthesis to yield a versatile radioactive probe for antibodies across multiple therapeutic areas with potential applications in both preclinical biodistribution studies and clinical radioimmunotherapies.

Abstract
Copper is one of the most interesting elements for various biomedical applications. Copper compounds show vast array of biological actions, including anti-inflammatory, anti-proliferative, biocidal and other. It also offers a selection of radioisotopes, suitable for nuclear imaging and radiotherapy. Quick progress in nanotechnology opened new possibilities for design of copper based drugs and medical materials. To date, copper has not found many uses in medicine, but number of ongoing research, as well as preclinical and clinical studies, will most likely lead to many novel applications of copper in the near future.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Monoclonal antibody (mAb) L8A4 binds specifically to the epidermal growth factor receptor variant III (EGFRvIII) that is present on gliomas but not on normal tissues, and is internalized rapidly after receptor binding. Because of the short range of its β-emissions, labeling this mAb with (177)Lu would be an attractive approach for the treatment of residual tumor margins remaining after surgical debulking of brain tumors. MATERIALS AND METHODS L8A4 mAb was labeled with (177)Lu using the acyclic ligands [(R)-2-amino-3-(4-isothiocyanatophenyl)propyl]-trans-(S,S)-cyclohexane-1,2-diamine-pentaacetic acid (CHX-A″-DTPA) and 2-(4-isothiocyanatobenzyl)-6-methyldiethylene-triaminepentaacetic acid (1B4M-DTPA), and the macrocyclic ligands S-2-(4-isothiocyanatobenzyl)-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-tetraacetic acid (C-DOTA) and α-(5-isothiocyanato-2-methoxyphenyl)-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid (MeO-DOTA). Paired-label tissue distribution experiments were performed in athymic mice bearing subcutaneous EGFRvIII-expressing U87.ΔEGFR glioma xenografts over a period of 1 to 8 days to directly compare (177)Lu-labeled L8A4 to L8A4 labeled with (125)I using N-succinimidyl 4-guanidinomethyl-3-[(125)I]iodobenzoate ([(125)I]SGMIB). RESULTS Except with C-DOTA, tumor uptake for the (177)Lu-labeled mAb was significantly higher than the co-administered radioiodinated preparation; however, this was also the case for spleen, liver, bone and kidneys. Tumor/normal tissue ratios for (177)Lu-1B4M-DTPA-L8A4 and, to an even greater extent, (177)Lu-MeO-DOTA-L8A4 were higher than those for [(125)I]SGMIB-L8A4 in most other tissues. CONCLUSIONS Tumor and normal tissue distribution patterns for this anti-EGFRvIII mAb were dependent on the nature of the bifunctional chelate used for (177)Lu labeling. Optimal results were obtained with 1B4M-DTPA and MeO-DOTA, suggesting no clear advantage for acyclic vs. macrocyclic ligands for this application.

Abstract
Despite the promise of radioimmunotherapy using anti-CD20 antibodies (Ab) for the treatment of relapsed patients with indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), most patients treated with conventional doses of (131)I-tositumomab or (90)Y-ibritumomab eventually relapse. We did comparative assessments using conventional radioimmunotherapy targeting CD20, CD22, and HLA-DR on human Ramos, Raji, and FL-18 lymphoma xenografts in athymic mice to assess the potential for improving the efficacy of radioimmunotherapy by targeting other NHL cell surface antigens. Results of biodistribution studies showed significant differences in tumor localization consistent with variable antigenic expression on the different lymphoma cell lines. Interestingly, the radioimmunoconjugate that yielded the best tumor-to-normal organ ratios differed in each tumor model. We also explored administering all three (111)In-1,4,7,10-tetra-azacylododecane N,N',N'',N'''-tetraacetic acid antibodies in combination, but discovered, surprisingly, that this approach did not augment the localization of radioactivity to tumors compared with the administration of the best single radiolabeled Ab alone. These data suggest that conventional radioimmunotherapy using anti-CD20, anti-HLA-DR, or anti-CD22 Abs is effective when used singly and provides targeted uptake of radiolabel into the tumor that is dependent on the levels of antigen expression. Improvements in tumor-to-normal organ ratios of radioactivity cannot be achieved using directly labeled Abs in combination but may be afforded by novel pretargeting methods.

Abstract
A first-generation series of novel small molecules, collectively known as selective high-affinity ligands (SHALs), were designed and synthesized to mimic the binding of Lym-1, a monoclonal antibody (mAb) shown to be an effective cytotoxic and radionuclide carrier molecule for targeting non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Created as radionuclide targeting molecules, these SHALs were intended to have the human leukocyte antigen-DR (HLA-DR) selectivity of Lym-1 mAb and the pharmacokinetics of a small molecule. Because of the remarkable bioactivity of Lym-1 in vitro, the direct antilymphoma activity of three of these SHALs was tested. Two of these SHALs were bidentate and consisted of two ligands connected to the carboxyl and amino groups of lysine and polyethylene glycol (PEG); the third SHAL was a dimeric version of one of the former two SHALs linked with PEG. The three SHALs tested were: LeLPLDB, that contained one deoxycholate and one 5-leu-enkephalin as ligands; (LeacPLD)2LPB, a bis version of LeLPLDB intended to improve "functional affinity"; and ItPLDB, that contained the ligands, deoxycholate and triiodothyronine. Micromolar concentrations of all three SHALs showed binding to Raji, an HLA-DR10-positive human malignant B-cell line but no binding to CEM or Jurkat's, HLA-DR10-negative malignant T-cell lines. Additionally, the Raji cell membrane distributions of all three SHALs and of Lym-1 were remarkably similar. Unlike Lym-1, which causes substantial growth inhibition and cell death in NHL cell lines, these SHALs had no direct antilymphoma activity. In summary, three first-generation SHALs lacked direct antilymphoma activity, although they had selective NHL B-cell binding like Lym-1 mAb. Because of their small size, these SHALs have potential as radionuclide carrier substitutes for Lym-1 mAb to target the HLA-DR10 NHL-related cell-surface protein.

Abstract
PURPOSE Radioactivity deposition in normal tissues limits the dose deliverable by radiopharmaceuticals (RP) in radioimmunotherapy (RIT). This study investigated the absorbed radiation dose in normal tissues for prostate cancer patients in comparison to breast cancer patients for 2 RPs using the monoclonal antibody (MAb) m170. METHODS AND MATERIALS 111In-DOTA-glycylglycylglycyl-l-p-isothiocyanatophenylalanine amide (GGGF)-m170 and 111In-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-N,N',N'',N'''-tetraacetic acid (DOTA) 2-iminothiolane (2IT)-m170, representing the same MAb and chelate with and without a cleavable linkage, were studied in 13 breast cancer and 26 prostate cancer patients. Dosimetry for 90Y was calculated using 111In MAb pharmacokinetics from the initial imaging study for each patient, using reference man- and patient-specific masses. RESULTS The reference man-specific radiation doses (cGy/MBq) were not significantly different for the breast and the prostate cancer patients for both RPs in all but one tissue-RP combination (liver, DOTA-2IT). The patient-specific doses had differences between the groups most of which can be related to weight differences. CONCLUSIONS Similar normal tissue doses were calculated for two groups of patients having different cancers and genders. This similarity combined with continued careful analysis of the imaging data might allow the use of higher starting doses in early phase RIT studies.

Abstract
The most potent method for augmenting the cytocidal power of monoclonal antibody (MAb) treatment is to conjugate radionuclides to the MAb to deliver systemic radiotherapy (radioimmunotherapy; RIT). The antigen, MAb, and its epitope can make a difference in the performance of the drug. Additionally, the radionuclide, radiochemistry, chelator for radiometals and the linker between the MAb and chelator can have a major influence on the performance of drugs (radiopharmaceuticals) for RIT. Smaller radionuclide carriers, such as antibody fragments and mimics, and those used for pretargeting strategies, have been described and evaluated. All of these changes in the drugs and strategies for RIT have documented potential for improved performance and patient outcomes. RIT is a promising new therapy that should be incorporated into the management of patients with B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) soon after these patients have proven incurable. Predictable improvements using better drugs, strategies, and combinations with other drugs seem certain to make RIT integral to the management of patients with NHL, and likely lead to cure of currently incurable NHL.

Abstract
PURPOSE The L1 cell adhesion protein is overexpressed in tumors, such as neuroblastomas, renal cell carcinomas, ovarian carcinomas, and endometrial carcinomas, and represents a target for tumor diagnosis and therapy with anti-L1-CAM antibody chCE7. Divalent fragments of this internalizing antibody labeled with 67/64Cu and 177Lu were evaluated to establish a chCE7 antibody fragment for radioimmunotherapy and positron emission tomography imaging, which combines high-yield production with improved clearance and biodistribution properties. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN chCE7F(ab')2 fragments were produced in high amounts (0.2 g/L) in HEK-293 cells, substituted with the peptide-linked tetraazamacrocycle 3-(p-nitrobenzyl)-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetate-triglycyl-L-p-isothiocyanato-phenylalanine, and labeled with 67Cu and 177Lu. In vivo bioevaluation involved measuring kinetics of tumor and tissue uptake in nude mice with SK-N-BE2c xenografts and NanoPET (Oxford Positron Systems, Oxford, United Kingdom) imaging with 64Cu-3-(p-nitrobenzyl)-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetate-triglycine-chCE7F(ab')2. RESULTS The 177Lu- and 67Cu-labeled immunoconjugates reached maximal tumor accumulation at 24 hours after injection with similar levels of 12%ID/g to 14%ID/g. Blood levels dropped to 1.0%ID/g for the 177Lu fragment and 2.3%ID/g for the 67Cu fragment at 24 hours. The most striking difference concerned radioactivity present in the kidneys, being 34.5%ID/g for the 177Lu fragment and 16.0%ID/g for the 67Cu fragment at 24 hours. Positron emission tomography imaging allowed clear visualization of s.c. xenografts and peritoneal metastases and a detailed assessment of whole-body tracer distribution. CONCLUSIONS 67/64Cu- and 177Lu-labeled recombinant chCE7F(ab')2 revealed suitable in vivo characteristics for tumor imaging and therapy but displayed higher kidney uptake than the intact monoclonal antibody. The 67Cu- and 177Lu-labeled immunoconjugates showed different in vivo behavior, with 67/64Cu-3-(p-nitrobenzyl)-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetate-triglycine-F(ab')2 appearing as the more favorable conjugate due to superior tumor/kidney ratios.

Abstract
Conventional chemotherapy regimens cure fewer than 50% of patients with aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and fewer than 5% of patients with indolent lymphomas. However, the majority of patients remain responsive to remarkably low doses of external beam radiotherapy. A logical strategy for the treatment of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is radioimmunotherapy (RIT); systemic radiation targeted to tumor cells using monoclonal antibodies. RIT involves continuous exposure to low-dose-rate radiation, with the intensity of the dose decreasing over time, and as such is distinct from conventional radiotherapy and chemotherapy. RIT has several advantages over monoclonal antibody therapy. For example, a functional immune system is not an absolute requirement to kill tumor cells, and, depending on the radiolabel used, beta-emissions are effective over 100 to 500 cell diameters, resulting in a crossfire effect on nearby tumor cells. The crossfire effect enables the eradication of cells that are not necessarily targeted by the antibody, but are affected by the radiation. The success of RIT depends on which antibody and radioisotope is used. This article examines how the antibody, radioisotope, chelator, and linker affect the safety and efficacy of RIT. The different approaches to dosing are also considered.

Abstract
Because of their remarkable effectiveness in radioimmunotherapy (RIT), 2 anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody (MAb) drugs, one labeled with indium 111 for imaging or yttrium 90 for therapy, and another labeled with iodine I 131 for imaging and therapy, have been approved for use in patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Successful RIT for lymphomas is due in large part to the rapid and efficient binding of the targeted MAb to lymphoma cells. Carcinomas are more difficult to access, necessitating novel strategies matched with radionuclides with specific physical properties. Because there are many radionuclides from which to choose, a systematic approach is required to select those preferred for a specific application. Thus far, radionuclides with g emissions for imaging and particulate emissions for therapy have been investigated. Radionuclides of iodine were the first to be used for RIT. Many conventionally radioiodinated MAbs are degraded after endocytosis by target cells, releasing radioiodinated peptides and amino acids. In contrast, radiometals have been shown to have residualizing properties, advantageous when the MAb is localized in malignant tissue. b-emitting lanthanides like those of 90Y, lutetium 177, etc. have attractive combinations of biologic, physical, radiochemical, production, economic, and radiation safety characteristics. Other radiometals, such as copper-67 and copper-64, are also of interest. a-emitters, including actinium-225 and bismuth-213, have been used for therapy in selected applications. Evidence for the impact of the radionuclide is provided by data from the randomized pivotal phase III trial of 90Y ibritumomab tiuxetan (Zevalin) in patients with NHL; responses were about 2 times greater in the 90Y ibritumomab tiuxetan arm than in the rituximab arm. It is clear that RIT has emerged as a safe and efficient method for treatment of NHL, especially in specific settings.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Radioimmunotherapy (RIT) is a new and effective treatment modality in patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The monoclonal antibody (mAb) hLL2 (epratuzumab), a humanized mAb directed against the CD22 antigen, and which internalizes, can be labeled with various radionuclides. The biodistribution of hLL2 labeled with (131)I, (186)Re, (177)Lu, and (88)Y was studied in nude mice with subcutaneous human lymphoma xenografts in order to determine the most suitable of these four radionuclides for RIT with hLL2. METHODS Human Ramos lymphoma xenografts were transplanted in cyclophosphamide-pretreated athymic BALB/c mice. Four groups of mice were injected intravenously with (131)I-, (186)Re-, (88)Y-, or (177)Lu-labeled hLL2, respectively. To determine the nonspecific tumor uptake, two groups of mice received (88)Y-labeled or (131)I-labeled control antibody, cG250. The biodistribution of the radiolabel was determined 1, 3, and 7 days postinjection (p.i.). RESULTS Radiolabeled hLL2 had a higher tumor uptake than the nonspecific mAb at all time-points, irrespective of the radiolabel used. Tumor accretion of (88)Y- and (177)Lu-hLL2 was higher than tumor uptake of (131)I- and (186)Re-hLL2. Activity in the bone, represented by the femur without bone marrow, was higher for (177)Lu- and (88)Y-hLL2 than for (131)I- and (186)Re-hLL2 on day 7 p.i. CONCLUSION The use of the residualizing radiolabels (88)Y and (177)Lu in combination with a mAb directed against an internalizing antigen resulted in higher uptake and better retention of the radiolabel in the tumor.

Abstract
Promising results have suggested human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II as potential target for antibody-based lymphoma therapy. Thus, antibodies against HLA class II induced apoptosis in vitro, as well as complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) and effector cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC). Furthermore, animal models demonstrated strong antitumor effects in vivo. Importantly, early clinical studies with antibodies Lym-1 or Hu1D10, both against HLA-DR variants, suggested therapeutic potential. However, the increased risk of serious toxicity may require an improved understanding of the clinically relevant mechanisms of action of HLA class II-directed antibodies, which may then allow generation of optimized antibody constructs to achieve optimal therapeutic efficacy.

Abstract
Radionuclides provide biologically-distributed vehicles for radiotherapy of multifocal cancer. Two algorithms, fixed vs individualized, have been used to prescribe the therapeutic dose of radionuclide (GBq) for the patient. The individualized method for prescribing radionuclide dose takes variations in drug pharmacokinetics into consideration, whereas the fixed method depends, in part, on documentation that there is little interpatient pharmacokinetic variability for the radiolabeled drug. Two data bases, selected to compare iodine-131((131)I) and indium-111((111)In) labeled MAbs, were used to assess interpatient pharmacokinetic variability and its impact on radionuclide dose prescription. Pharmacokinetic data obtained over 7 days for non-Hodgkins lymphoma (NHL) patients given (131)I-Lym-1 (n = 46) or (111)In-Lym-1 (n = 13) were used to obtain cumulated activities. Although (131)I-Lym-1 often showed greater interpatient variability, (111)In-Lym-1 showed several-fold variability for many tissues. Both (131)I- and (111)In-Lym-1 had sufficient interpatient variability to be significant for radionuclide dose prescription, depending on the dose-limiting critical tissue. Interpatient variability exceeded intra- and interoperator variability and intrapatient variability over time for a single institution. In summary, the magnitude of interpatient pharmacokinetic variability for (131)I- and (111)In-Lym-1 suggested that an optimally safe and effective therapy can be best achieved when radionuclide dose is influenced by estimated radiation dose, if the latter is reproducible from institution to institution.

Abstract
Cytotoxic chemotherapy or radiotherapy of cancer is limited by serious, sometimes life-threatening, side effects that arise from toxicities to sensitive normal cells because the therapies are not selective for malignant cells. So how can selectivity be improved? One strategy is to couple the therapeutics to antibodies or other ligands that recognize tumour-associated antigens. This increases the exposure of the malignant cells, and reduces the exposure of normal cells, to the ligand-targeted therapeutics.

Abstract
Molecular targeted radionuclide therapy promises to expand the usefulness of radiation to successfully treat widespread cancer. The unique properties of radioactive tags make it possible to plan treatments by predicting the radiation absorbed dose to both tumors and normal organs, using a pre-treatment test dose of radiopharmaceutical. This requires a combination of quantitative, high-resolution, radiation-detection hardware and computerized dose-estimation software, and would ideally include biological dose-response data in order to translate radiation absorbed dose into biological effects. Data derived from conventional (external beam) radiation therapy suggests that accurate assessment of the radiation absorbed dose in dose-limiting normal organs could substantially improve the observed clinical response for current agents used in a myeloablative regimen, enabling higher levels of tumor control at lower tumor-to-normal tissue therapeutic indices. Treatment planning based on current radiation detection and simulations technology is sufficient to impact on clinical response. The incorporation of new imaging methods, combined with patient-specific radiation transport simulations, promises to provide unprecedented levels of resolution and quantitative accuracy, which are likely to increase the impact of treatment planning in targeted radionuclide therapy.

Abstract
Radionuclide therapy extends the usefulness of radiation from localized disease of multifocal disease by combining radionuclides with disease-seeking drugs, such as antibodies or custom-designed synthetic agents. Like conventional radiotherapy, the effectiveness of targeted radionuclides is ultimately limited by the amount of undesired radiation given to a critical, dose-limiting normal tissue, most often the bone marrow. Because radionuclide therapy relies on biological delivery of radiation, its optimization and characterization are necessarily different than for conventional radiation therapy. However, the principals of radiobiology and of absorbed radiation dose remain important for predicting radiation effects. Fortunately, most radionuclides emit gamma rays that allow the measurement of isotope concentrations in both tumor and normal tissues in the body. By administering a small "test dose" of the intended therapeutic drug, the clinician can predict the radiation dose distribution in the patient. This can serve as a basis to predict therapy effectiveness, optimize drug selection, and select the appropriate drug dose, in order to provide the safest, most effective treatment for each patient. Although treatment planning for individual patients based upon tracer radiation dosimetry is an attractive concept and opportunity, practical considerations may dictate simpler solutions under some circumstances. There is agreement that radiation dosimetry (radiation absorbed dose distribution, cGy) should be utilized to establish the safety of a specific radionuclide drug during drug development, but it is less generally accepted that absorbed radiation dose should be used to determine the dose of radionuclide (radioactivity, GBq) to be administered to a specific patient (i.e., radiation dose-based therapy). However, radiation dosimetry can always be utilized as a tool for developing drugs, assessing clinical results, and establishing the safety of a specific radionuclide drug. Bone marrow dosimetry continues to be a "work in progress." Blood-derived and/or body-derived marrow dosimetry may be acceptable under specific conditions but clearly do not account for marrow and skeletal targeting of radionuclide. Marrow dosimetry can be expected to improve significantly but no method for marrow dosimetry seems likely to account for decreased bone marrow reserve.

Abstract
A variety of radionuclides continue to be investigated and/or clinically used for different therapeutic applications in nuclear medicine. The choice of a particular radionuclide with regard to appropriate emissions, linear energy transfer, and physical half-life is dictated to a large extent by the character of the disease (eg, solid tumor or metastatic disease) and by the carrier used to selectively transport the radionuclide to the desired site. An impressive body of information has appeared in the recent literature that addresses many of these considerations. This article summarizes and discusses the many recent advances and the progress in the clinical applications of therapeutic radionuclides in relatively new and developing areas, such as radioimmunotherapy, peptide therapy, intravascular therapy to prevent restenosis, radiation synovectomy, and bone malignancy therapy. Projections are made as to the future directions and progress in these areas. The crucial issue of a reliable, year-round supply of new and emerging therapeutic radionuclides in quantities sufficient initially for research, and then for routine clinical use, is a very worthy goal which, in the United States, remains to be achieved.
