Painful Multifocal Arthritis: Therapy with Rhenium 186 Hydroxyethylidenedi-phosphonate (186Re HEDP) after Failed Treatment with Medication—Initial Results of a Prospective Study

Abstract: Eight patients (77 joints) with polyarthritis were treated systemically with 570 MBq (15.4 mCi) of rhenium 186 ((186)Re) hydroxyethylidenediphosphonate (HEDP). Pain and disease activity were assessed monthly. In six (75%) of eight patients, a single injection of (186)Re HEDP led to an improvement in disease activity. Systemic low-dose treatment with (186)Re HEDP can reduce pain and disease activity in patients with polyarthritis.

“…186 Re (T 1/2 = 3.7 days) is a β-emitter that has been used in clinical trials for palliation of painful bone metastases resulting from prostate and breast cancer. 5 Several cross section measurements have been made since 1966 using proton and deuteron beams on tungsten targets. 3 Previous data show that using deuterons is advantageous compared to protons since the deuteron cross sections are five times higher.…”
