The Production, Quality Control, and Characterization of ZED8, a CD8-Specific 89Zr-Labeled Immuno-PET Clinical Imaging Agent
2020
Immuno-PET is a molecular imaging technique utilizing positron emission tomography (PET) to measure the biodistribution of an antibody species labeled with a radioactive isotope. When applied as a clinical imaging technique, an immuno-PET imaging agent must be manufactured with quality standards appropriate for regulatory approval. This paper describes methods relevant to the chemistry, manufacturing, and controls component of an immuno-PET regulatory filing, such as an investigational new drug application. Namely, the production, quality control, and characterization of the immuno-PET clinical imaging agent, ZED8, an 89Zr-labeled CD8-specific monovalent antibody as well as its desferrioxamine-conjugated precursor, CED8, is described and evaluated. PET imaging data in a human CD8-expressing tumor murine model is presented as a proof of concept that the imaging agent exhibits target specificity and comparable biodistribution across a range of desferrioxamine conjugate loads.
