Bone sarcomas are devastating primary bone cancers that mostly affect children, young adults, and the elderly. These aggressive tumors are associated with poor survival, and surgery remains the mainstay of treatment. Surgical planning is increasingly informed by positron emission tomography (PET), and tumor margin identification during surgery is aided by near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) imaging, yet these investigations are confounded by probes that lack specificity for sarcoma biomarkers. We report the development of a dual-modal (PET/NIRF) immunoconjugate ([Zr]Zr-DFO-anti-MT1-MMP-IRDye800CW) that targets MT1-MMP, a matrix metalloproteinase overexpressed in high-grade sarcomas. [Zr]Zr-DFO-anti-MT1-MMP-IRDye800CW was synthesized site-specific chemoenzymatic glycan modification, characterized, and isolated in high specific activity and radiochemical purity. Saturation binding and immunoreactivity assays indicated only minor perturbation of binding properties. A novel mouse model of dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma based on intrafemoral inoculation of HT1080 WT or KO cells (high and low MT1-MMP expression, respectively) was used to evaluate target binding and biodistribution. Fluorescence and Cerenkov luminescence images of [Zr]Zr-DFO-anti-MT1-MMP-IRDye800CW showed preferential uptake in HT1080 WT tumors. gamma counting revealed that uptake in MT1-MMP-positive tumors was significantly higher than that in control groups. Taken together, [Zr]Zr-DFO-anti-MT1-MMP-IRDye800CW is a promising dual-modal sarcoma imaging agent for pre-operative surgical planning and intraoperative surgical guidance.

Adoptive cell transfer of targeted chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells has emerged as a highly promising cancer therapy. The pharmacodynamic action or CAR T cells is closely related to their pharmacokinetic profile; because of this as well as the risk of non-specific action, it is important to monitor their biodistribution and fate following infusion. To this end, we developed a dual-modal PET/near infrared fluorescent (NIRF) nanoparticle-based imaging agent for non-genomic labeling of human CAR T cells.

The novel synthesis of a dual-modality, pentamethine cyanine (Cy5) fluorescent, F positron emission tomography (PET) imaging probe is reported. The probe shows a large extinction coefficient and large quantum yield in the biologically transparent, near-infrared window (650-900 nm) for in vivo fluorescent imaging. This fluorophore bears the isotope, F, giving a F-PET/near-infrared fluorescent (NIRF), bi-modal imaging probe, that combines the long-term stability of NIRF and the unlimited penetration depth of PET imaging.

Molecular imaging agents for preoperative positron emission tomography (PET) and near-infrared fluorescent (NIRF)-guided delineation of surgical margins could greatly enhance the diagnosis, staging, and resection of pancreatic cancer. PET and NIRF optical imaging offer complementary clinical applications, enabling the noninvasive whole-body imaging to localize disease and identification of tumor margins during surgery, respectively. We report the development of PET, NIRF, and dual-modal (PET/NIRF) imaging agents, using 5B1, a fully human monoclonal antibody that targets CA19.
