PURPOSE Pharmacokinetics, biodistribution, immunogenicity, and imaging characteristics of iodine 131 (131I)-labeled chimeric monoclonal antibody (mAb) G250 (cG250) were studied in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) to determine the therapeutic potential of this antibody. PATIENTS AND METHODS Sixteen patients with RCC received a single intravenous (IV) infusion of 6 mCi 131I-labeled cG250. Five protein dose levels were investigated (2 to 50 mg). Planar scintigraphic images were acquired, and normal tissue biopsies and tumor samples were obtained of surgery (7 days postinjection). The immunogenicity of cG250 was investigated using a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and dosimetric analysis was performed. RESULTS In all patients with antigen-positive tumors (n = 13), the primary tumors and all known metastases were clearly visualized. Overall uptake, expressed as the percentage of the injected dose (%ID), in the primary tumors ranged from 2.4 to 9.0. Focally, 131I-cG250 uptake as high as 0.52% ID/g was observed. However, intratumoral uptake was highly heterogeneous. 131I-cG250 uptake in nontumorous tissues remained low. Dosimetric analysis showed that up to .48 Gy/mCi was guided to the primary tumors. Selected "hot areas" within these tumors received up to .72 Gy/mCi. A bone metastasis received .23 Gy/mCi and regional lymph node metastases received .20 Gy/mCi. Minimal human antichimeric antibody (HACA) levels were detected in two of 16 patients. CONCLUSION 131I-cG250 tumor uptake is among the highest reported in clinical studies with antitumor antibodies in solid tumors. Since tumor-sterilizing levels may be guided to the tumor when high doses 131I-cG250 are administered (> 100 mCi) and cG250 appears to be immunosilent, cG250 is a promising vehicle for radioimmunotherapy in RCC.

Paired Samples

Objective: To identify histopathological and immunophenotypical features with potential predictive or prognostic value in patients undergoing pulmonary metastasectomy from renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Methods: We retrospectively collected all consecutive patients undergoing pulmonary metastasectomy from RCC after prior nephrectomy. Paired samples of primary tumors and corresponding pulmonary metastases were analyzed, revising histopathological features and testing C-MET, mTOR, and PD-L1 by immunohistochemistry. Results: A total of 25 patients were included. Median overall survival (mOS) from metastasectomy was 5.5 years (95% CI = 1.9–9.1). The laterality of metastases had a significant predictive value, with median relapse-free survival (mRFS) from metastasectomy not reached (NR) at mean follow-up (FU) of 60.8 months for left lung involvement, mRFS of 52.9 months (95% CI = 0–145.5) for the right lung and 6.4 months (95% CI = 1.7–11) for bilateral metastases ( p = 0.028). Primary RCC with positive expression of mTOR had higher mOS after metastasectomy than negative cases ( p < 0.001), NR at mean FU of 4.3 years versus mOS of 2 years (95% CI = 0.7–3.3), respectively. PD-L1 positivity on intra-tumor (TILs) and peri-tumor (RILs) infiltrating lymphocytes of metastases was related to higher OS, NR versus 2 years (95% CI = 1.2–2.7, p = 0.003), and NR versus 1.4 years (95% CI = 0.2–2.6, p = 0.012), respectively. The shorter was the surgical interval, the more probably the metastases had high c-MET expression (>70%) ( p = 0.007) and PD-L1 expression >10% on TILs ( p = 0.024). Conclusions: mTOR positivity on primary RCC could be a favorable prognostic factor to select patients for pulmonary metastasectomy. The positive impact of PD-L1 expression on immune cells is opposite to the well-known negative prognostic value of PD-L1 on tumor cells in RCC.

Aims. Inhibitors of the MET pathway hold promise in the treatment for metastatic kidney cancer. Assessment of predictive biomarkers may be necessary for appropriate patient selection. Understanding MET expression in metastases and the correlation to the primary site is important, as distant tissue is not always available.Methods and Results. MET immunofluorescence was performed using automated quantitative analysis and a tissue microarray containing matched nephrectomy and distant metastatic sites from 34 patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma. Correlations between MET expressions in matched primary and metastatic sites and the extent of heterogeneity were calculated. The mean expression of MET was not significantly different between primary tumors when compared to metastases (P=0.1). MET expression weakly correlated between primary and matched metastatic sites (R=0.5) and a number of cases exhibited very high levels of discordance between these tumors. Heterogeneity within nephrectomy specimens compared to the paired metastatic tissues was not significantly different (P=0.39).Conclusions. We found that MET expression is not significantly different in primary tumors than metastatic sites and only weakly correlates between matched sites. Moderate concordance of MET expression and significant expression heterogeneity may be a barrier to the development of predictive biomarkers using MET targeting agents.
