Abstrakt: Background: Hypoxia within solid tumors confers radiation resistance and a poorer prognosis. 124I-iodoazomycin galactopyranoside (124I-IAZGP) has shown promise as a hypoxia radiotracer in animal models. We performed a clinical study to evaluate the safety, biodistribution, and imaging characteristics of 124I-IAZGP in patients with advanced colorectal cancer and head and neck cancer using serial positron emission tomography (PET) imaging.
Methods: Ten patients underwent serial whole-torso (head/neck to pelvis) PET imaging together with multiple whole-body counts and blood sampling. These data were used to generate absorbed dose estimates to normal tissues for 124I-IAZGP. Tumors were scored as either positive or negative for 124I-IAZGP uptake.
Results: There were no clinical toxicities or adverse effects associated with 124I-IAZGP administration. Clearance from the whole body and blood was rapid, primarily via the urinary tract, with no focal uptake in any parenchymal organ. The tissues receiving the highest absorbed doses were the mucosal walls of the urinary bladder and the intestinal tract, in particular the lower large intestine. All 124I-IAZGP PET scans were interpreted as negative for tumor uptake.
Conclusions: It is safe to administer 124I-IAZGP to human subjects. However, there was insufficient tumor uptake to support a clinical role for 124I-IAZGP PET in colorectal cancer and head and neck cancer patients.
