5.1.4.4. Conclusion<br />

The radioiodine labelled anti-NCAM antibody ERIC1 seems to be a<br />

promising radiopharmaceutical <strong>for</strong> treatment of neuroblastoma. The optimal<br />

dose is 1–2 MBq/animal, which would correspond to ~600–1200 MBq in<br />

humans (<strong>for</strong> a child of 15 kg). Initial experiments with <strong>90</strong> Y labelled ERIC1 have<br />

been very promising. These antibodies have shown an unequivocal therapeutic<br />

effect, whereas 131 I MIBG appears to have no influence on the tumour growth,<br />

even when higher radioactivity is administered per animal. Future studies will<br />

focus on:<br />

Improved dose finding studies;<br />

Fractionation of radiation dose realized by intravenous application of<br />

<strong>90</strong> Y labelled ERIC1;<br />

Investigation of other radioimmunoconstructs against NCAM;<br />

Investigation of other tumour types with NCAM on tumour cells<br />

(particularly, small cell lung carcinoma);<br />
