Tumor targeting with radiolabeled antibodies, peptides and nucleotides

Tumor targeting with radiolabeled antibodies, peptides and nucleotides for diagnosis and therapy of cancer is our motivation. Our research projects are clinically oriented, based generally on pre-clinical in vitro and in vivo studies.

In this field, two different radioimmunotherapies (RIT) of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) have been recently approved in the United States by the food and drug administration (FDA). These treatments represent a first successful application of radiolabeled antibodies in patients and provide a new treatment modality of this malignancy. Our group has been active in this field for many years studying radiolabeled antibodies in different other cancers. We currently continue this research at the pre-clinical and clinical level with anti-B-lymphoma antibodies.

As a second research direction, we develop a tumor targeting strategy with radiolabeled iododeoxyuridine, a thymidine analog, with support from the Swiss National Science Foundation. Iododeoxyuridine is incorporated in DNA during the synthesis phase of the cell cycle. Our project comprises the study of the cell cycle events around the S-phase and its pharmacological modulation aiming to favor the DNA-incorporation of radio-idododeoxyuridine. The approach revealed successful both in vitro and in vivo studies. We currently started with first therapy approaches in an animal model of human glioblastoma xenografts. A clinical diagnostic study is open aiming to establish the value of our experimental approach in glioblastoma patients.

We finally collaborate with different other centers in clinical research aiming to evaluate new peptide analogs that recognize specific receptors on cancer. We recently performed a first study of a radiolabeled Neurotensin analog in the frame of a European study implying international research collaboration. A new study aiming to evaluate new somatostatin analogs for diagnosis and therapy of somatostatin receptor positive tumors is in preparation in collaboration with Professor Helmut Maecke, Institute of Nuclear Medicine, Basel University Hospital.
