Comparison of non-invasive approaches to red marrow dosimetry for radiolabelled monoclonal antibodies

Abstract: Red marrow is usually the dose-limiting organ during radioimmunotherapy. Several non-invasive approaches to calculate the red marrow dose have been proposed. We compared four approaches to analyse the differences in calculated red marrow doses. The data were obtained from immunoscintigraphy of two antibodies with different red marrow kinetics [iodine-131-16.88 IgM and indium-111-OV-TL-3 F(ab')2]. The approaches are based on, respectively, homogeneously distributed activity in the body, a red marrow-blood activ… Show more

“…This statement must be qualified, however, in view of the limitations of the dosimetric techniques available for estimating the red marrow dose and the uncertainty concerning the biological efficacy of low-dose rate radiation. [51][52][53][54] The mean therapeutic ratio of radiation delivered to the marrow as compared to the liver of 3:1 was very similar to that reported by the Seattle team, whereas the therapeutic ratios for the lung (15:1) and for the kidney (2.1:1) were substiantially different, favoring the anti-CD66 antibody in the case of the lungs and the anti-CD45 antibody in the case of the kidneys. 22,24 For the anti-CD45 antibody, the liver was the dose-limiting organ in all but one of the patients.…”

“…A total residence time for the entire body of 113 h is obtained in the case of no biologic clearance. The red marrow dose was estimated using sampled blood clearance data (24,25). The red marrow concentration was assumed to be 30% of the blood activity concentration (conversion factor, 0.3).…”

“…Estimation of marrow dose is a very difficult problem when the marrow is also the source organ [10]. However, since Quadramet targets bone rather than the marrow itself, reasonable dose estimates can be obtained [5].…”
