Abstract

To assess the tumor targeting, safety, and efficacy of monoclonal antibody 131I-labeled CC49 in patients with androgen-independent prostate cancer, 16 patients received 75 mCi/m2 of the radiolabeled antibody after 7 days of IFN-gamma pretreatment. Sequential tumor biopsies in three patients showed a median 5-fold (range, 2-6-fold) increase in the proportion of cells staining positively for the TAG-72 antigen, whereas one showed a decrease in staining. Fourteen patients received 131I-labeled CC49, whereas 2 showed a disease-related decrease in performance status, precluding antibody treatment. The antibody localized to sites of metastatic androgen-independent prostate cancer in 86% (12 of 14; 95% confidence interval, 57-95%) of cases. Both osseous and extraosseous sites were visualized, and in six (42%) patients, more areas were visible when the radioimmunoconjugate was used than were apparent when conventional scanning techniques were used. The localization of the conjugate in the marrow cavity was usually a site not visualized by the radionuclide bone scan, in which the isotope localizes primarily to the tumor-bone interface. The dose-limiting toxicity was thrombocytopenia because five (36%) patients showed grade IV and seven ...Continue Reading
