    FIGURE 1. 

    Images of patient 1 showing localization of metastases (solid arrows), kidney (dotted arrows), and liver (dashed arrows). γ-camera imaging was performed after intravenous injection of 123 MBq of 111In-ABY-002 with peptide mass dose of less than 100 μg. Whole-body scan 4 h after injection (left) shows uptake predominantly in liver and kidney, with additional uptake in parotid and submandibular glands, thorax, and gastrointestinal tract. SPECT images 3 h after injection (middle) show the localization of thoracic wall metastasis (upper coronal image and sagittal image) and mediastinal lymph node metastases (lower coronal image). Findings indicate HER2-positive metastases in mediastinal lymph nodes and thoracic wall, as was confirmed for the thoracic wall metastasis by HercepTest score of 3+. PET was performed after intravenous injection of 293 MBq of 18F-FDG. Coronal maximum-intensity-projection image 90 min after injection (right) shows localization of thoracic wall metastasis and mediastinal lymph node metastases.

    Images of patient 3 obtained 85 min after intravenous injection of 278 MBq of 18F-FDG and 135 min after intravenous injection of 267 MBq of 68Ga-ABY-002 with peptide mass dose of less than 100 μg. (A) Potential metastasis (arrows) in chest wall near the axilla is seen with 68Ga-ABY-002 on transverse PET (top), CT (middle), and PET/CT (bottom) images and on coronal maximum-intensity-projection images (in between). This metastasis was not visible with 18F-FDG. (B) 18F-FDG (left column) and 68Ga-ABY-002 (right column) transverse images of identified lesions (arrows) in pelvic area.

    Blood kinetics in the 3 patients. Samples were collected at predetermined times after injection of radiolabeled ABY-002; radioactivity was measured with γ-counter (Isomed 2000; Nuklear Medizintechnik Dresden) and plotted over time; and values were applied for kinetic analysis using Origin Pro 7G (OriginLab) and exponential curve fit function ExpDec 1/2. (A) Blood kinetics of 111In-ABY-002 in patients 1 (administered dose, 123 MBq [▴]) and 3 (101.3 MBq [•]). Time points between 22 and 94 h after injection are not included. (B) Blood kinetics of 68Ga-ABY-002 in patients 1 (110 MBq [▴]), 2 (187 MBq [Embedded Image]), and 3 (267 MBq [•]).
