Besemer MS B. Bednarz PhD Department of Medical Physics Wisconsin Institutes for Medical Research University of Wisconsin Madison NCCAAPM Spring Meeting April 15, 216

2 Targeted Radionuclide Therapy Neuroblastoma 2 nd most extracranial malignant solid tumor of childhood High mortality rate in advanced stages mibg Established diagnostic ( 123 I or 124 I) and therapeutic agent ( 131 I) for NB treatment 9% of NB is mibg avid since mibg has a similar transport mechanism to norepinephrine mibg TRT has become a standard treatment technique for recurrent or refractory cases of NB with response rates ranging from 2-37% (a.) 1.5 hr, (b.) 19.5 h (c.) 43.5 h, (d.) 115 h 4/15/216 NCCAAPM Spring Meeting, La Crosse WI Ian Marsh Huang et al.

3 Targeted Radionuclide Therapy CLR144 Cancer-targeted diagnostic and therapeutic agent Phospholipid ether analog with selective uptake in vitro and in vivo Promising initial in vitro data in a variety of different pediatric cell lines. Prostate (PC-3) Glioma 4/15/216 NCCAAPM Spring Meeting, La Crosse WI Ian Marsh 3

4 Radiopharmaceutical Development Discovery and Development Pre-clinical Trials Clinical Trials (Phase 1-4) Clinical Implementation Identify dose limiting organs Determine maximum tolerated doses Evaluate dose toxicity relationships Evaluate tumor dose response relationships Patient-specific treatment planning Determine appropriate dose prescriptions 4/15/216 NCCAAPM Spring Meeting, La Crosse WI Ian Marsh 4

5 Dosimetry Limitations of standard OLINDA/EXM method Assumes homogeneous: Organ/Tumor composition Radionuclide uptake Dose deposition Phantom organs do not accurately represent individual patient s organ shapes and relative spatial distribution Dose errors of ± 2-6% have been reported 1 RAPID Robust Monte Carlo internal dosimetry platform Developed at UW - Madison Reported MC doses 6-23% larger than OLINDA 4/15/216 NCCAAPM Spring Meeting, La Crosse WI Ian Marsh [1] Divoli et al 29 5
