Tri-functional Imaging Agent for Monoclonal Antibody Tumor-Targeted Imaging Description of Technology: This is a novel lysine-based trifunctional chelate which bears both a chelating moiety (CHX-A″) for sequestering radiometals (86Y or 111In) and a near-infrared dye, e.g., Cy5.5, for dual modality PET (or SPECT) and fluorescence imaging. Successful conjugation of monoclonal antibody trastuzumab (Herceptin) or cetuximab (Erbitux), has also been achieved by efficient thiol-maleimide chemistry, thereby yielding an immunoconjugate (Signaling agent (Cy5.5-Lys(SMCC)-CHX-A″) conjugated to trastuzumab) or (Signaling agent (Cy7-Lys(SMCC)-CHX-A″) conjugated to cetuximab). Both specifically target antigen expressing cells and internalization of the agent has been imaged over time. Trastuzumab can be radiolabeled with isothiocyanate derivatives of the bifunctional chelating agents 1B4M (2-(4-aminobenzy1)-6methyldiethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid); and CHX-A″ (N-[(R)-2-amino-3-(paminophenyl)propyl]-trans-(S,S)cyclohexane-1,2-diamine-N,N,N′,N″,N″pentaacetic acid). Potential Commercial Applications: • Cancer imaging. • Cancer diagnostics. Competitive Advantages: • Target specific. • Multifunctional (imageable through multiple platforms). Development Stage: • Early-stage. • In vivo data available (animal). Inventors: Martin W. Brechbiel, Heng Wu, Kwamena E. Baidoo (all of NCI). Publications: 1. Xu H, et al.
