Biodistribution study of 124I-11-1F4 mAb in patients with AL amyloid and Aβ Amyloid
This is a phase I biodistribution study of a potentially therapeutic amyloid-reactive monoclonal antibody designated 11-1F4 in patients with systemic peripheral light chain (AL) amyloidosis and cerebral (Aβ) amyloidosis (Alzheimer’s disease; AD). To date 25 AL patients and 3 AD patients have been imaged under the current e-IND. Patients are infused with either 2 or 5 mCi of 124I-labeled antibody and return on day 2 and 5 post injection for imaging on the mCT. Whole body images are acquired for each patient with additional PET data acquired from the brain or heart (list mode for cardiac-gating), as appropriate. Prompt gamma correction is implemented to correct for high energy gamma photons which caused photopenic artifacts in female patients that were imaged without this correction. The first report of the AL study will appear in Blood with mCT images of the 124I-11-1F4 mAb appearing on the cover of the journal.
