Relative therapeutic efficacy of (125)I- and (131)I-labeled monoclonal antibody A33 in a human colon cancer xenograft.

AbstractUNLABELLED:
A33, a monoclonal antibody that targets colon carcinomas, was labeled with (125)I or (131)I and the relative therapeutic efficacy of the 2 radiolabeled species was compared in a human colon cancer xenograft system.
METHODS:
Nude mice bearing human SW1222 colon carcinoma xenografts were administered escalating activities of (125)I-A33 (9.25-148 MBq) or (131)I-A33 (0.925-18.5 MBq), (125)I- and (131)I-labeled control antibodies, unlabeled antibody, or no antibody. The effects of treatment were assessed using the endpoints of tumor growth delay and cure.
RESULTS:
Tumor growth delay increased with administered activity for all radiolabeled antibodies. Approximately 4.5 times more activity was required for (125)I-A33 to produce therapeutic effects that were equivalent to those of (131)I-A33. This ratio was approximately 7 for a nonspecific, noninternalizing isotype-matched, radiolabeled control antibody. Unlabeled A33 antibody had no effect on tumor growth. Approximately 10 times more activity of (125)I-A33 produced toxicity similar to that of (131)I-A33, and this ratio fell to approximately 6 for radiolabeled control antibody.
CONCLUSION:
Treatment with (125)I-A33 resulted in a relative therapeutic gain of approximately 2 compared with (131)I-A33 in this experimental system.
