A Phase I Dose Escalation Study With 99mTC - or 186 Re-labelled Humanised Monoclonal Antibody BIWA 4, in Patients With Head and Neck Cancer
The general aim of the present study was to assess the safety and tolerability of intravenously administered Technetium 99m (99mTc) and Rhenium-186 radionuclide (186 Re) -labelled hMAb BIWA 4, to confirm preferential accumulation in the tumour of 99mTc - labelled hMAb BIWA 4, to determine the maximum tolerated radiation dose of 186 Re-labelled hMAb BIWA 4 and to propose a safety dose for phase II development.
