Abstract 3445

Background

AMG 211 is a ∼55 kDa BiTE® antibody construct directed against carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA, CEACAM5) on tumor cells and cluster of differentiation 3 (CD3) on cytotoxic T-cells. Biodistribution of bispecific antibodies in humans is largely unknown. Therefore, we performed a first-in-human feasibility study with 89Zr-AMG 211 as PET tracer to explore AMG 211 biodistribution in normal and tumor tissues.

Methods

Nine patients with advanced GI adenocarcinomas underwent 89Zr-AMG 211 PET imaging before (n = 7), during (n = 1) or before and during (n = 1) AMG 211 treatment. Before AMG 211 treatment, a fixed dose of 37 MBq 200 µg 89Zr-AMG 211 alone (n = 2), or in combination with 1,800 µg (n = 4) or 4,800 µg (n = 2) cold AMG 211 was administered over 3 hours (h) followed by PET scans at 3, 6, and 24 h. 89Zr-AMG 211 uptake was measured as standardized uptake value (SUV). 89Zr-AMG 211 integrity in plasma and urine was analyzed with gel electrophoresis and binding of 89Zr-AMG 211 to immune cells by counting Ficoll separated whole blood fractions.

Results

Before AMG 211 treatment, the optimal imaging dose was 200 µg 89Zr-AMG 211 + 1,800 µg cold AMG 211. At 3 h the highest blood pool SUVmean was 4.0, and tracer serum half-life was 3.3 h. Uptake in CD3-rich lymphoid tissues such as the spleen and bone marrow was SUVmean 3.2 and 1.8, respectively. Uptake in these tissues decreased slower than in other normal tissues. 89Zr-AMG 211 remained intact in plasma and was excreted predominantly via the kidneys in degraded forms. Of 43 visible tumor lesions, 37 were PET quantifiable, with a SUVmax of 4.0 (interquartile range 2.7 – 4.4) at 3 h using the optimal imaging dose. The maximum tracer uptake differed between tumor lesions 5-fold within and 9-fold between patients. During AMG 211 treatment (n = 2) more tracer was present in the blood pool, while tumor lesions were not visualized, possibly reflecting target saturation.

Conclusions

In this first-in-human study high specific 89Zr-AMG 211 accumulation was observed in CD3-rich lymphoid tissues. In addition, a clear, inter- and intra-individual heterogeneous tumor uptake was seen.
