摘要
A first-in-human phase 1 clinical study was performed on 12 healthy adults with a high-specific-activity carrier-free formulation of I-123-iobenguane. Clinical data are presented on the behavior of this receptor-targeting imaging agent. Methods: Whole-body and thoracic planar and SPECT imaging were performed over 48 h for calculation of tissue radiation dosimetry and for evaluation of clinical safety and efficacy. Results: A reference clinical imaging database acquired over time for healthy men and women injected with high-specific-activity I-123-iobenguane showed organ distribution and whole-body retention similar to those of conventional I-123-iobenguane. The heart-to-mediastinum ratios for the high-specific-activity formulation were statistically higher than for conventional formulations, and the predicted radiation dosimetry estimations for some organs varied significantly from those based on animal distributions. Conclusion: Human normal- organ kinetics, radiation dosimetry, clinical safety, and imaging efficacy provide compelling evidence for the use of high-specific-activity I-123-iobenguane.
