SC-01

Product Background

At present, there is no angiogenesis imaging agent focused on both vascular endothelial adhesiveness and cellular targets. SC-01 interacts with vascular endothelial and cellular targets. SC-01 also has multiple amino and carboxylic groups, which allows anticancer drug conjugate for targeted imaging and therapy. Our data indicate that 99mTc- SC-01 accumulates more actively in the nucleus as well as cytoplasm of breast tumor cells. SC-01 could follow-up treatment outcome. Due to favorable physical characteristics and its low cost, 99mTc has been preferred for labeling radiopharmaceuticals. Thus, labeling SC-01 with 99mTc is anticipated to be stable and with high radiochemical purity.

Clinical Development

The primary objective is based on the evaluation of safety whereas secondary objectives are to determine the best dose, optimal time and biodistribution of SC-01 in patients with breast cancer on planar and single photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) images acquired at multiple imaging time points after each administration of SC-01. The biodistribution of SC-01 will be studied for the aim of implementing the highest tolerated dose in future studies for diagnostic and therapeutic aims in breast cancer patients. Data generated is intended to help identify appropriate dose and timing of SC-01 administration and imaging for subsequent trials. The imaging data obtained from SC-01 provides predictive radiation dosimetry value for 188Re-SC-01 and/or SC-01-drug conjugates. Therefore, the data obtained from this study not only provide an impact on improving the diagnosis of breast cancer through the application of SC-01 but also provide a basis for internal radionuclide targeted therapy.
