ABSTRACTTen patients with advanced or refractory CD5.express.
ing hematologic neoplasms [two with chronic lymphocytic
leukemia and eight with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma
(CTCL)] were treated in a Phase I study with the radioim-
munoconjugate �#{176}Y-T101, which targets CD5+ lympho-
cytes. Prior imaging studies using “In-TiOl demonstrated
uptake in involved lymph nodes and skin in patients withCTCL, and Phase I studies with unmodified TiOl demon-strated transient responses. In this study, patients were
treated with 5 or 10 mCi of �#{176}Ychelated to TiOl via iso-
thiocyanatobenzyl diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid,
along with tracer doses of ‘“In-TiOl for imaging. The
biodistribution of the radioimmunoconjugate was deter-
mined by measuring �#{176}Yand t1tln blood clearance, urine
excretion, and accumulation in bone marrow and in in-
volved skin lesions. The intravascular pharmacokinetics of
90Y were predicted by “ ‘In-labeled TlO1. The greatest dif-
ferences in biodistribution between “In and �#{176}Ywere in the
higher bone accumulation of �#{176}Yand its lower urinary
excretion. Imaging studies demonstrated targeting of skin
lesions and involved lymph nodes in CTCL patients. The

predominant toxicity was bone marrow suppression. Rapid
antigenic modulation of CD5 on circulating T and B cells
was observed. Recovery of T-cell populations occurred
within 2-3 weeks; however, suppression of B-cell popula.
tions persisted after 5+ weeks. All CTCL patients developed
human antimouse antibody after one cycle and thus were
not retreated; one patient with chronic lymphocytic leuke-
mia received a second cycle of therapy. Partial responses
occurred in five patients, two with chronic lymphocytic
leukemia and three with CTCL. The median response du-
ration was 23 weeks. One CTCL patient who subsequentlyreceived electron beam irradiation to a residual lesion is
disease-free after 6 years.
INTRODUCTIONTlOl is a monoclonal belonging to the IgG2a subclass,
which recognizes CD5, a surface antigen present on circulating
normal T lymphocytes, a subset of B cells, as well as on
nonsecretory CLL3 cells and CTCL cells ( 1). Tl0l recognizes
the same antigen as the monoclonal antibodies anti-Leu- I and
OKT1. Previous imaging studies using � ‘ ‘In-TlOl and ‘�‘I-
Tl0l have demonstrated uptake of the antibody radioconjugates
in malignant skin and lymph node infiltrates in CTCL patients
and binding to and uptake by circulating CD5-positive neoplas-
tic lymphocytes in CLL patients (2-4). Early Phase I studies
using unmodified Tl0l at doses of 1-140 mg by slow iv.
infusion demonstrated rapid but transient responses in patients
with CLL and CTCL with minimal toxicity (5).
The observation of clinical improvement in patients treated
with unmodified antibody together with the excellent localiza-
tion of � ‘ ‘In-TlOl in sites of disease has prompted further
clinical investigation of radioimrnunoconjugates of T 10 1 . Rosen
et a!. (3) demonstrated clinical responses in CTCL patients
treated with ‘31I-Tl0l in therapeutic doses of 100-150 mCi;
however, the specificity of the therapeutic response was in
question due to associated rapid dehalogenation of the radio-
conjugate (6).
We have conducted a Phase I trial using the radioimmu-
noconjugate 90Y-TlOl in patients with CDS-expressing CTCL
and CLL. #{176}“Yis a high energy �3-emitter without any associated

2692 Phase I Study of ‘�#{176}YTl0I in CD5� Lymphoma
in circulating neoplastic cells rapidly decreases free isotope
blood levels and minimizes nonspecific toxicity secondary to
bone accumulation (7). Tracer doses of � � ‘In-TlOl were coad-
ministered for localization and biodistribution studies, and the
uptake of ‘ ‘ ‘ In and 90Y was measured in biopsies of bone
marrow and clinically involved skin to validate that ‘ ‘ ‘In-TlOl
distribution also reflects #{176}#{176}Y-TlOldistribution. Significant dis-
ease regression was documented in 5 of 10 patients treated at
very low dose levels. We performed an extensive pharmacoki-
netic analysis of both ‘ � ‘In- and 90Y-TlOl and also used imag-
ing results to evaluate the ‘ ‘ ‘Infl#{176}Y biodistribution. Although
other radioimmunotherapy studies have been performed using
90y and ‘ ‘ ‘In for imaging, this study represents the most de-
tailed pharmacokinetic analyses including biopsies to determine
the similarities in biodistribution between ‘ ‘ ‘In and 9#{176}Y.
MATERIALS AND METHODSPatients. Adults with CTCL or CLL who had failed prior
therapy and whose tumor cells expressed CD5 were eligible.
CD5 expression was determined on circulating neoplastic cells
by flow cytometry or on skin biopsies by immunohistochemical
analysis using TlOl and Leu-l and peroxidase-labeled anti-
mouse IgG. Patients were eligible if 25% or more of the tumor
cells stained for TIOl. All patients had bilateral iliac crest bone
marrow biopsies to assess tumor involvement and adequacy of
bone marrow reserve, pulmonary function testing with a forced
expiratory volume at 1 s and vital capacity >65% of predicted
value and P#{176}2 >65, no cardiovascular disease, or if cardiac
history was present, a gated cardiac blood pool ejection fraction
of >35%. Hematologic parameters included WBC > 2000/
mm3, platelets > 100,000/mm3, bilirubin < 1.5 mg/dl, and
creatinine < 2 mg/dl. Patients were required to have a Karnof-
sky performance status of at least 60%, measurable disease, a
life expectancy of at least 3 months, and no HAMAs as deter-
mined by an HPLC method (8). The protocol was approved by
the National Cancer Institute Institutional Review Board, and all
patients gave their written informed consent to participate. A
total of 10 patients were e,nrolled; 9 patients were treated once
and 1 patient received two courses of therapy. Patients were
accrued from July 1989 to October 1991, and the last follow-up
date was April 1998. The trial was discontinued before maxi-
mum tolerated dose was reached due to unavailability of the
antibody.
Antibody Preparation. TlOl was provided by Hy-
britech Incorporated (La Jolla, CA) and was prepared from the
ascites of BALB/c mice injected with the hybridoma. The an-
tibody was purified by 1 8% sodium sulfate precipitation and
subsequent fractionation on a DEAE-Sephacel column (Phar-
macia Fine Chemicals, Piscataway, NJ). The purified antibody
was conjugated to the chelating agent, isothiocyanatobenzyl-
DTPA (9). The antibody was labeled with 911Y, purified through
a sizing column, shipped overnight on ice, and used within 24 h
of preparation. The specific activity of the final product was 40
mCi/mg. Prior to patient injection, the material was checked for
endotoxin by standard limulus lysate assay and protein-bound
radioactivity by ITLC. In all cases, >97% (97.8 ± 0.6%,
mean ± SD) of the 9#{176}Ywas bound to TlOl. The ‘ ‘ ‘In-labeled
T 10 1 ( ‘ ‘ ‘ In-T 10 1 ) was prepared on site by incubating the che-
late-conjugated TlOl with buffered indium chloride. The reac-
tion was quenched with excess DTPA to bind any ionic ‘ ‘ ‘In.
This resulted in >75% (87.8 ± 8.4%) protein-bound ‘ ‘ ‘In, and
no further purification was performed. The preparation for the
last patient consisted of the same conjugated TIOl but differed
from the others in that both ‘ ‘ ‘ In and #{176}#{176}Ylabeling were per-
formed on site, followed by purification through a size exclusion
HPLC.
Immunoreactivity. The immunoreactivity of the ‘ ‘ ‘In-
TlOl and #{176}#{176}Y-TlOlwas determined by a cell-binding assay.
Serial dilutions of the antibody were incubated with a CD5-
positive T-cell line, and the immunoreactivity was expressed as
the maximum percentage of radioactivity bound to the cells at
antigen excess (10). The ‘�#{176}Y-Tl0l was 63 ± 10% immunore-
active and the ‘ ‘ ‘In-TlOl was 58 ± 12% immunoreactive when
corrected for the protein-bound fraction determined from ITLC.
Antibody Administration. All patients received co-in-
jections of a mixture of ‘ ‘ ‘In-TlOl and 9#{176}Y-TlOl and unlabeled
(DTPA-conjugated) TIOl to achieve the total protein mass
desired. Each patient received approximately 1.0 mg of Tl0l
labeled with a mean of 5 mCi of ‘ ‘ ‘ In (4.95 ± 0. 1 7 mCi). The
first three patients received 0.5 mg of TlOl with 10 mCi of 9()y
formulated to a total dose of 2 mg with unlabeled TlOl. Because
grade 4 bone marrow toxicity was observed in one patient, the
next six patients received 5 mCi of9#{176}Y-TlOl, with the total dose
of TlOl increased to 10 mg. The 10-mg dose was selected
because prior studies suggested lower bone marrow concentra-
tion when 1 mg versus 10 or 50 mg were utilized (1 1).
HAMA. A size exclusion HPLC-based assay was used to
detect evidence ofa human immune response to TlOl. lodinated
TlOl was incubated with patient serum and then assayed on an
HPLC equipped with a TSK 2000 column. Immune complexes
were separated from intact IgG, and quantitation was done by
integrating the free and complexed peaks. When complexes
were detected, specificity was determined by competition assays
with unlabeled Tl0l or an excess of unlabeled IgG (8).
Flow Cytometric Analysis. Flow cytometry was per-
formed using a whole blood lysis technique, which included two
prewashes in PBS to eliminate any nonbound monoclonal anti-
body in the plasma. The cells were then resuspended to the
original blood volume, and 100 ul of cell suspension was incu-
bated with the specific antibody or antibodies for 30 mm at 4#{176}C.
The incubation mix was treated with FACS Lyse (Becton Dick-
inson, San Jose, CA) according to manufacturer’s instructions,
washed twice in PBS, and fixed in 0. 1% paraformaldehyde. A
minimum of 10.000 events was acquired on each sample using
a FACScan (Becton Dickinson) equipped with an air-cooled
laser. The photomultiplier tubes for side angle scatter, FLi (515
nm), and FL2 (585 nm) were operated using logarithmic ampli-
fication. Instrument calibration was performed daily using Ca-
librite beads (Becton Dickinson) according to manufacturer’s
instructions, and the data were analyzed using a Consort 32
computer system using Lysis II software. The cells were eval-
uated for CD5 expression using unconjugated TlOl followed by
a wash step and incubation with goat antimouse FITC (Caltag,
Burlingame, CA). Cells incubated with an unconjugated plas-
macytoma of the same subclass served as the control for the
TIOl . The directly conjugated monoclonal antibodies were ob-
tamed from Becton Dickinson and included CD3 for T cells,

CD4 and CD8 for T-cell subsets, CD2O for B cells, and CD45/
CD14 as gating reagents. The cells were collected in a modified
lymphocyte gate, and additional gating was done on the basis of
forward and side angle scatter. This was confirmed using the
combination of CD45 and CDI4 monoclonal antibodies. The
percentage of positive cells was determined using the subclass
control for positive-negative discrimination. The number of
cells staining for each marker was determined using the total
lymphocyte count determined with a hematology instrument and
the percentage of cells staining positive by flow cytometry. The
TlOl staining pattern was followed by monitoring the geometric
mean channel fluorescence (FL1). Studies were planned to be
performed prior to therapy, 1 , 2, 3, 4, and 5 days, and I, 2, 3, and
5 weeks posttherapy.
Imaging. Analog scintillation camera images as well as
digital images were recorded with a General Electric 500
gamma camera. Anterior and posterior whole body images and
four spot views of the anterior and posterior chest and abdomen
were acquired with a medium energy collimator using a 20%
window centered around the 173-keV and 247-keV X-ray peaks
of ‘ ‘ ‘In. Typical spot views contained 300,000 to 1,000,000
counts, whereas the whole body views were acquired over 1060
s/side.
Pharmacokinetics. In addition to gamma scans, blood
samples were taken following the infusion, typically at the end
of infusion, 30 and 60 mm, and 2, 6, and 12 h after infusion, and
then daily for 1 week. The retention of 90Y and ‘ ‘ ‘In in blood
and plasma were determined by sampling both blood and
plasma, with sequential counting in a X and then in a beta
counter. Because Cerenkov counting is sensitive to quench and
geometry, all samples were processed in a similar and repro-
ducible manner. Samples of 0. 1 ml of blood, plasma, and urine
were first treated with 0.5 ml of SDS at 56#{176}Cfor 15 mm,
followed by cooling for 10 mm at 5#{176}C.The samples were then
bleached with 0.4 ml of 30% hydrogen peroxide. The counts in
the samples were referred back to a standard of the injected
dose. To mimic the quench observed in the patient samples,
separate standards were prepared by mixing with 0.1 ml of the
patient’s baseline blood or serum. These standards underwent
the same processing and resulted in quench similar to the patient
samples. All samples were then brought up to I 1 ml with
distilled water. Beta counting of Cerenkov radiation was per-
formed using a 0-200 keV range (A4530D; Packard, Downes
Grove, IL). The samples were also counted in a gamma counter
using a 100-500 keV window. The counts were corrected for
cross-talk and decay-corrected accounting for the time differ-
ences between counting in the gamma and beta counters.
This counting technique yielded a crossover of ‘ ‘ ‘In into
the �#{176}Ywindow of < 1 % and a crossover of 90Y into the ‘ ‘ ‘ In
window of <5%. The percentage of injected activity retained in
blood and plasma volume was then estimated using the patient’s
height and weight to estimate the volumes. Because the infusion
time was short compared with the disposition half-life (T,,,), the
intravascular data were treated similarly to an intravenous bolus.
The percentage of the injected dose per ml was fitted to a
biexponential curve to obtain both the alpha and beta phase T,,2,
using a least squares fit algorithm (SigmaPlot; Jandel Scientific,
Duarte, CA). Conventional pharmacokinetic parameters were
then derived (12). The AUCs for the blood or plasma curves
were calculated in two steps. First the AUC from the end of
infusion to 168 h was obtained by trapezoidal integration of the
decay-corrected blood and plasma data, and then the terminal
AUC was estimated using the terminal clearance rate to extrap-
olate from the activity retained at 168 h. These data were
expressed on %ID x h/ml to allow comparison between doses.
Using these data we then estimated additional pharmacokinetic
parameters including V�. Vd,,�, and maximum retained dose (12).
Whole-body retention of ‘ ‘ ‘In was determined by counting the
patient immediately after the end of the infusion and daily using
a sodium iodide counter. Urine was collected serially for a 96-h
period.
Bone marrow biopsies were taken at 7 days after infusion
in eight patients and on days 6 and 8 in one patient each.
Individual core biopsies were obtained from each iliac crest.
Both samples were weighed on an analytical balance, placed in
PBS, and counted in both the gamma and beta counters to allow
an estimate of sampling-site variability of radioactivity concen-
tration. One core was then sent for routine pathology, and the
other was further processed in 8 of the 10 patients. The biopsy
core to be processed was put in a conical tube with 10 ml of PBS
for 1 h, and the core was broken with a jagged-edge glass rod.
The core was centrifuged for 10 mm at 640 X g, and the
supernatant was removed and counted (saline fraction). The
pelleted core was broken with a jagged-edge glass rod and then
mixed with 0.5 ml of 10% SDS for 30 mm at 56#{176}Cin an attempt
to remove any cell-bound activity. After the sample cooled, 0.4
ml of 30% hydrogen peroxide was added and incubated at 56#{176}C
for 1 h to bleach the sample. Ten ml of distilled water were
added, and the sample was again centrifuged for 10 mm. The
supernatant was separated for counting (SDS fraction). Perchlo-
ric acid (0.2 ml) was then added to the remaining bone chips and
incubated at 56#{176}Cuntil the chips dissolved. This sample was
again treated with hydrogen peroxide, as described above. After
cooling, the sample was transferred to a counting vial with 10 ml
of distilled water (bone fraction). All samples were then counted
on both the beta and gamma counters, as described above, and
the %ID/g was determined on the basis of the protein-bound
injected activity (i.e., corrected for ITLC).
Response and Toxicity. Responses were assessed at the
end of each cycle of therapy and monthly thereafter. A CR was
defined as the complete resolution of all clinically evident
disease confirmed pathologically by appropriate biopsies and
lasting at least 1 month. A PR was at least a 50% reduction in
the sum of all measurable and evaluable disease lasting at least
1 month. Stable disease was a minor improvement in disease
insufficient to meet the criteria for PR. Progressive disease was
defined as a 25% or greater increase in the sum of measurable
and evaluable lesions or the development of new extracutaneous
lesions. Progression-free survival was calculated on the patients
who achieved a PR or CR from the first day of therapy until
progressive disease was documented.
Toxicity was scored according to the National Cancer
Institute’s Common Toxicity Criteria (13). Complete blood
counts were obtained immediately after the infusion, at 1 , 2, 6,
and 12 h after the infusion, and weekly thereafter until recovery
from nadir.
Statistics. When the differences between ‘ ‘ ‘ In and �‘#{176}Y
were compared, paired t tests were performed.

RESULTSDisease Characteristics of Patients. Ten patients were
entered onto the study, one with B-CLL, one with T-CLL, and
eight with CTCL. Patient characteristics are shown in Table 1.
All patients had refractory disease. Both CLL patients and seven
of eight patients with CTCL had failed cytotoxic chemotherapy
regimens. Bone marrow involvement was noted in one patient
with CLL and one with CTCL. Circulating neoplastic cells were
present in the B-CLL patient (50,000/ul), in the T-CLL patient
(46,000/al), and in two of the CTCL patients, one with <2000
Sezary cells/ul and one with >4000/ul.
Biodistribution Data. Serial gamma imaging obtained
after antibody administration demonstrated rapid clearance of
‘ ‘ ‘In-TIOl from the blood (Fig. 1) and prominent uptake into
the liver, spleen and bone marrow (Fig. 14). Imaging of known
nodal-involved sites was not seen in the initial 2-h images but
was consistently present at 24 h in patients with CTCL. Not all
lymph node regions were visualized, suggesting that there may
have been some selectivity for involved nodes. There was no
nodal uptake in the patient with B-CLL. The patient with T-CLL
had some lymph node visualization in the early images (2 h) but
much better visualization at 24 h (Fig. 2B). Uptake in clinically
involved skin sites was noted in six of the eight patients with
CTCL (Fig. 3A). One of the two patients without skin uptake
had very minimal patch-stage skin disease, and the other had
nodal involvement but no visible skin disease at the time of
therapy. The patient with circulating Sezary cells had diffuse
infiltrative erythroderma, and imaging studies showed diffuse

as prominent skin uptake. B, spot images from patient 1 , who had T-CLL, were obtained near the end of infusion and at -24 h afterwards. The images
show prominent uptake in multiple nodal sites in a markedly enlarged spleen and in liver and bone marrow. No skin uptake is noted. Although lymph
node uptake is present in the early images, it was more prominent in the delayed images. C, spot images from patient 5. who had B-CLL and received

skin uptake. Extensive bone marrow uptake was noted in both
the B-CLL and the CTCL patients, with histopathologic cvi-
dence of bone marrow involvement as well as in two other
CTCL patients with histopathologically uninvolved marrows. In
addition to uptake in nodal sites and bone marrow, uptake in
liver and spleen was consistently observed, and mild uptake in
bowel was seen in some patients receiving the 10-mg dose (Fig.
2, B and C).
Two 90Y dose levels (5 or 10 mCi) were administered
under this protocol along with either 2 or 10 mg of unconjugated
TlOl antibody (Table 2). The first three patients were dosed
with 10 mCi of90Y and 2 mg ofTlOl. Significant bone marrow
toxicity was noted in patient 3; therefore, the 9()y dose was
decreased to 5 mCi for the next six patients and the dose of cold
TlOl was increased to 10 mg in patients with CTCL. The last
CTCL patient received 10 mCi of 9#{176}Y-TlOl with 10 mg of
TlOl.
A skin biopsy was performed in seven patients with CTCL
(Table 3) at 5 to 8 days postinfusion (mean, 6.7 days). The

indicated in the v-axis. The ‘ ‘ ‘In data (first stacked bar) and ‘�#{176}Ydata
(secotid stacked bar) are plotted for each patient. The amount of activity
in each bar represents that in the saline, SDS, and bone fractions (see
“Material and Methods.”).
2696 Phase I Study of #{176}#{176}YTIOl in CD5� Lymphoma
ranged from 0.00066 to 0.0032 %ID/g, and for 90Y, the con-
centration from 0.00081 to 0.0039 %ID/g. This represented a
mean of 1 .5 ± 0.5-fold higher 90y uptake than ‘ ‘ ‘In uptake
(P = 0.012). No visible skin uptake was seen in patients with
CLL (Fig. 2, B and C). There was no correlation between total
dose of antibody administered or 90Y-TlOl dose and skin up-
take in the CTCL patients.
The localization of radioactivity in bone marrow was meas-
ured in all patients. The %ID/g in the unprocessed bone marrow
ranged from 0.0008 to 0.0136 %ID/g (0.00398 ± 0.0035 %ID/g,
mean ± SD) for “In and from 0.00109 to 0.0115 %ID/g
(0.005542 ± 0.00488 %ID/g, mean ± SD) for 90y, The activity
of ‘ ‘ ‘ In recovered in the treated bone was 98 ± 5% of that of the
nonprocessed bone marrow, indicating that very little loss oc-
curs as the result of processing. The true amount of 90Y in the
unprocessed marrow was underestimated due to geometry of the
sample and quench. The recovery of #{176}#{176}Yfrom treated bone was
133 ± 17% of that of the unprocessed bone marrow and was
significantly higher (P = 0.0027), indicating a greater efficiency
of counting for 9t)y when the bone marrow was processed. The
accumulation of ‘ ‘ � In in the processed bone was always lower
than that of 90y (Fig. 3) with 0.0046 ± 0.0045 %ID/g versus
0.00758 ± 0.00432 %ID/g, respectively (P 0.0078). Overall
there was 1.97 ± 0.75-fold more ‘�#{176}Ythan “In in the bone.
Although the number of biopsies was small, there was no
correlation between histopathologic evidence of bone marrow
involvement by tumor and bone marrow radioisotope uptake.
The distribution of activity in the saline fraction represented
mainly plasma, that in the SDS fraction was mainly in the cells,
and that in the perchloric acid represented bone-bound activity.
A comparison of the uptake between the nonprocessed bone
marrow from the right and left iliac crest showed a difference of
64 ± 20% from the highest to the lowest side for ‘ ‘ ‘In and 69 ±
23% for #{176}#{176}Y,indicating variability due to sampling.
- The blood and plasma clearance varied from patient to
patient (Fig. 1 , and Table 4). Nevertheless, the differences
between ‘ ‘ ‘ In and 90Y retention in blood and plasma were very
small, and overall there were no statistical differences between
the pharmacokinetic parameters obtained from ‘ ‘ ‘ In versus 9#{176}y
in blood or in plasma (P > 0.05, paired t test). A comparison of
the ‘ ‘ ‘In versus 90Y radioactivity remaining in the blood at the
end of infusion showed no statistical differences, with 66.7 ±
27.8 %ID/g for ‘ ‘ ‘In-TlOl and 68.7 ± 26.7 %ID/g for 9#{176}y�
TIOl remaining in the blood (P = 0.356, paired t test). Simi-
larly, the amount of ‘ ‘ ‘In and 90y remaining in the blood at 24 h
was 24.3 ± 15.8 %ID/g for “In-TlOl and 25.6 ± 14.6 %ID/g
for #{176}#{176}Y-TlOl(P = 0.488, paired t test). In addition, the cone-
sponding radioactivity remaining in the plasma at the end of
- infusion was 65.4 ± 36.8 %ID/g for ‘ ‘ ‘In-TlOl and 68.5 ± 36.9
1 0 %ID/g for 90Y-TlO 1 (P = 0. 1 1 8, paired t test). A larger amount
of ‘ ‘ ‘ In than 90y was excreted in the urine at all time points
examined (Table 5).
Antigenic Modulation on Peripheral Lymphocyte Pop-
ulations. Flow cytometric analysis demonstrated a rapid drop
in T and B cells within 24 h after Tl0l therapy was initiated
(Table 6). The mean drop in CD3 + cells was 62. 1%. In five of
seven patients, this persisted for 3 weeks. The CD5 fluorescence
intensity was less in the individual remaining T cells, suggesting
antigenic modulation related to antibody exposure. A decrease
in B cells was also observed, with a mean drop of 77.5% at 24 h.
However, the number of circulating B cells declined slightly
more during the 2-3 weeks posttherapy, reaching a mean de-
crease of 83.4% at 3 weeks posttherapy. The depression in B
cells persisted at 5 weeks posttherapy in all patients studied
(seven of seven).
The expression of TlOl in all lymphocyte populations was
altered in all patients with cutaneous lymphoma but not in the
one patient with T-CLL. The alteration consisted of a decrease
in mean fluorescence of 90.6% in the seven patients studied.
The mean channel of all patients prior to therapy ranged from
406 to 699, whereas 24 h after therapy the range was 2 1-74.
Conversely, the mean CDS+ channel fluorescence on all lym-
phocytes from the patient with T-CLL increased from 620 to
1 148 after therapy, and this increase persisted for S weeks.
Because pharmacokinetic studies showed rapid elimination of
radioisotope at short time points, it may be that the large number
of circulating CD5+ tumor cells adsorbed most of the infused
antibody, thereby diminishing the effect of antigenic modulation
on the normal lymphocytes.
Toxicity. Grade 3 or 4 hematologic toxicity occurred in
two patients with CTCL and one with CLL, as shown in Table
2. One of these was a CTCL patient with extensive tumor stage
disease, heavily pretreated with combination chemotherapy,
who received the initial dosing of 10 mCi and developed grade
4 thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, and sepsis on day 34 after
therapy. The blood counts did not recover until day 54. Al-
though the patient’s day 7 bone marrow demonstrated signifi-
cant 90Y uptake, the prolonged bone marrow suppression was
likely secondary to poor marrow reserve from prior chemother-
apy as well as from accumulation of 90Y. Another CTCL patient
(patient 9) who had been heavily pretreated with cytotoxic

chemotherapy, fludarabine, and interferon-a, and who had a
total leukocyte count of 2.9/ul prior to therapy, developed grade
4 granulocytopenia 89 days after a dose of S mCi of 9#{176}y,The
patient’s pretreatment bone marrow biopsy was notable for
hypocellularity, with normal maturation of all lineages and no
evidence of involvement by CTCL. Patient 8 with B-CLL who
was also treated with 5 mCi of �#{176}Ydeveloped grade 3 neutro-
penia on day 58 and recovered by day 60. Pretreatment bone
marrow biopsy showed diffuse replacement by atypical lympho-
cytes consistent with CLL. Three of six patients dosed at 5 mCi
of ‘�#{176}Yand two of four dosed at 10 mCi experienced grade 3 or
4 hematologic toxicity. The median time to nadir was 4.5 weeks
for all patients (range, 1-13 weeks), and median time to hema-
tologic recovery from nadir was 2 weeks (range < 1-4 weeks).
Four of five patients who received 10 mg of cold TlOl
experienced transient allergic-like manifestations, consisting of
chest tightness in three, hives in two, hypotension in one, and
chills and fever in one. None of the four patients who received
2 n�g of cold TIO1 had a hypersensitivity-type reaction. All
reactions were immediate and were controlled by slowing of the
infusion and administration of benadryl.
HAMA Production. All CTCL patients produced
HAMAs after the first course of therapy, precluding further
administration of the antibody. In contrast, neither of the CLL
patients produced HAMAs, and the patient with T-CLL was
re-treated with a second dose of antibody without any alterations
in pharmacokinetics.
Clinical Response. All 10 treated patients were evalu-
able for response and toxicity. Five of 10 patients (50%) had a
PR after one cycle of therapy, including both CLL patients and
3 of 8 CTCL patients (Table 7). The B-CLL patient had a
marked decrease in splenomegaly after therapy, and the T-CLL
patient had a decrease in spleen size as well as disappearance of
palpable nodes and a decrease in the number of circulating CLL
cells. This patient was initially treated at a dose of 10 mCi of
90y but then received a second cycle of therapy at 5 mCi after
it was determined that he did not have significant titers of
HAMA; he continued to demonstrate clinical improvement after
the second dose of antibody. Two of the CTCL responders had
improvement in cutaneous plaques and tumors, and one of these
who had circulating atypical lymphocytes (Sezary cells) had a
decrease in the absolute number of circulating cells from 1400
to 574 by day 9. Another CTCL responder with minimal skin
disease but significant adenopathy had a >50% decrease in the
size of his nodes. One CTCL patient with diffuse patch and
plaque disease had a minor improvement in skin disease, which
did not meet the criteria for a PR, and the remaining four
patients had no response. None of the other responders were
retreated due to elevated HAMA titers. The median duration of
response for the five partial responders was 23 weeks (range,
16-33 weeks). One of the CTCL patients (patient 4) had ma-
diation of a nonresponding tumor on his extremity after com-
pleting one cycle of therapy with 9#{176}Y-T101 and has had no
disease recurrence at a follow-up of 6 years.
DISCUSSIONBecause our prior imaging trials using ‘3’I-TlOl had dem-
onstrated excellent localization of the TlOl radioimmunocon-
jugate to skin and involved lymph nodes in patients with CTCL,
we sought to further explore the therapeutic utility of this
antibody conjugated to a high energy emitting isotope, �y, in
patients with CD5-expressing hematopoietic malignancies. Be-
cause this was one of the first clinical uses of �#{176}Yimmunocon-
jugates, we report the effect of this treatment not only on the
tumor sites but also on the most vulnerable normal tissue com-
partment, the bone marrow. In this Phase I study of a small
cohort of refractory CTCL and CLL patients, S of 10 demon-
strated a meaningful clinical response to therapeutic doses of
9#{176}Y-Tlol. Toxicities were modest, and the major dose-limiting
toxicity was bone marrow suppression, although dose-limiting
toxicity was not achieved. The response durations observed here
compare favorably with those reported in other radioimmuno-
conjugate studies and other newer therapies in CTCL (13-18).
The clinical efficacy of radioimmunoconjugates depends
on several factors, including the stability of the conjugation,

immunoreactivity of the monoclonal, the distribution of the
antigen on the target cells, metabolic fate of the antigen-anti-
body-radioisotope complex and biodistribution of the radioim-
munoconjugate to tumor sites. The design of 9#{176}Y-Tl0l has
evolved from prior studies demonstrating the favorable charac-
teristics of CD5 as a targeting ligand and the unique biological
features of certain hematologic malignancies, which lend to the
successful clinical implementation of this approach (I, 2. 1 1).
Although CD5 antigen is expressed on normal lymphocytes, a
significantly greater receptor density has been demonstrated on
neoplastic cells, and high levels of expression are fairly uniform
among patients with CTCL and CLL. Antigenic modulation or
internalization of the bound radioligand-antibody-CD5 antigen
complex has been demonstrated jn vitro and in prior studies
using ‘ ‘ ‘In-TlOl (2, 1 1). Furthermore, our prior radiolabeling
studies showed that trafficking of CTCL cells occurs between
blood, skin, lymph nodes. and other visceral sites. thus provid-
ing for excellent biodistribution of radioimmunoconjugate-bear-
ing cells to disease sites and perhaps explaining the unexpect-
edly high clinical response rate.

Neither the total quantity of antibody infused nor the total
90y dose administered appear to affect the concentration of
radioactivity in biopsied skin or tumor, as we had observed
previously with ‘ ‘ ‘In-TIOl (2). Furthermore, the biodistribution
and tumor targeting seen with ‘ ‘ ‘In-TiOl in this study was
comparable to that reported with ‘ ‘ ‘ In in our prior studies and
was superior to that reported by Rosen et a!. (3), who used
‘3’I-TlOl in CTCL patients. In that study, there was no clear
delineation of skin lesions by gamma scintigraphy, but rather a
diffuse uptake by liver, spleen, palpable and nonpalpable nodes
thyroid gland, and the gastrointestinal tract. These imaging
findings are consistent with dehalogenation of the ‘ � ‘ I conju-
gate. In contrast, little release from tumor or catabolic sites was
seen with the ‘ ‘ � In conjugate used for imaging in the current
study.
The clinical response rate observed in this study is similar
to that reported by Rosen et a!. (3) using ‘3’I-TlOl. In that
study, two of five evaluable patients had a PR, with response
duration ranging from 3 to 1 2 weeks. Three of five patients were
re-treated with a second dose of radiolabeled antibody after
plasmapheresis was performed to remove HAMAs, and two
demonstrated a second significant disease response. We report
longer response durations, ranging from 16 to 33 weeks, with
one patient in durable response for more than 6 years after
irradiation of a residual lesion. Due to the small study size, it
cannot be established whether the longer response durations
observed here compared to the � ‘ � I immunoconjugate represent
improved biodistribution and targeting of tumor lesions and
disease sites or may be due to prolonged exposure to the
‘�#{176}Y-conjugated isotope due to trafficking of intracellularly
bound isotope.
The two predominant toxicities observed in this study were

hypersensitivity reactions, as seen in other studies with murine
monoclonal antibodies, and hematologic toxicity, most likely
related to the biodistribution of 90Y into bone. In another study
using a 90Y radioimmunoconjugate, Waldmann et a!. ( 17) re-
ported grade 3 thrombocytopenia in one of three patient receiv-
ing 10 mCi of 90Y-anti-Tac and grade 4 neutropenia in one of
three at the 15 mCi dose. In our study, there was no correlation
between the drop in WBC count and dose; however, there was
a correlation between dose and percentage of drop in platelet
count (P = 0.0065). The differences in the degree of hemato-
logic toxicity observed among patients may be related to differ-
ences in bone marrow accumulation of 90Y or to differences in
baseline hematopoietic reserve among patients, perhaps related
to prior chemotherapy.
The rapid decline in circulating T cells observed following
TlOl therapy was expected because prior studies have demon-
strated rapid lymphocyte clearance following in vivo adminis-
tration of unconjugated TlOl antibody. This appeared to involve
both the CD4 and CD8 subpopulations, with relatively equal
distribution (data not shown). However, the suppression of
normal T cells lasted 2-3 weeks, compared to days in prior
studies using naked antibody, suggesting a significant cytotoxic
effect of the radioconjugate, perhaps in bone marrow.
The profound and persistent decrease in B cells using this
antibody conjugate was unexpected. The small subset of circu-
lating mature CD5 + B cells were likely targeted by the conju-
gate. Because most circulating mature B cells do not express
CD5, the prolonged decrease in CD2O populations seen here
may reflect targeting of a CD5 + normal bone marrow precursor
compartment, either directly by the antibody or indirectly
through the bone-seeking effects of the radionuclide.
The marked decrease in Tl0l fluorescent staining was
consistent among the cutaneous lymphoma patients (n = 6) and
parallels the decrease in overall T-cell populations. This sug-
gests that the normal T cells that predominated in the former
group were subject to significant antigenic modulation of CDS
in the presence of the antibody. In contrast, the leukemic cells
from the T-CLL patient showed an increase in immunofluores-
cent intensity for CDS, suggesting that antigenic modulation did
not occur in the tumor cells. These results are similar to those of
Dillman et al. (5), who demonstrated rapid clearance of CLL
cells with an anti-CD5 antibody but no antigenic modulation on
the cells. However, the effects of the antibody on B cells was
similar to that observed in the other patients.
Although our results showed significant differences in bio-
distribution between ‘ ‘ ‘In and �#{176}Y,these differences do not
prevent us from obtaining useful information regarding 9#{176}y
when we used � � � In as a surrogate. Our studies showed that no
significant differences in clearance were seen in the circulation
between the ‘ ‘ ‘In- and 90Y-radiolabeled Tl0l . This suggested
that the differences in retention between both isotopes in the
chelate of the circulating antibody were very small. Neverthe-
less, some differences were seen at the tissue level. We docu-
mented significant differences between the two isotopes in
involved skin, with a mean of 1 .58-fold greater retention of 90Y
than ‘ ‘ ‘ In. This would suggest that, in tumors the ‘ ‘ ‘ In distri-
bution image represents a lower limit of the accumulated activ-
ity. Although there is no reason to suspect that accumulation in
nodal sites would be different than in skin, this was not directly
examined because of the greater difficulties in obtaining nodal
biopsies. In bone marrow, the target organ for toxicity, the
accumulation of 90y also was higher than that of � � � In. Similar
differences between ‘ ‘ ‘In and 90Y distribution in bone have
been observed with other chelates because the strength of asso-
ciation of the chelate for both isotopes is different (19). When
the conjugated antibody is metabolized, the rate of release for
the isotope may vary in different tissues. The free isotope may
also have distinct biodistribution. The differences between ‘ ‘ ‘In
and 90Y in bone marrow were expected because 9#{176}yis rapidly
incorporated into bone matrix (20).
The ‘ ‘ ‘In biodistribution studies for the CTCL and CLL
patients showed some similarities in terms of high splenic, liver,
and bone marrow uptake and frequent lymph node accumula-
tion. The greatest difference was the lack of skin uptake in
noninvolved CLL skin. Although comparisons between the
CTCL and CLL patients need to be made cautiously in terms of
the small study size, skin infiltration is thought to be a more
characteristic feature. Another difference between the two pop-
ulations was in the rate of antibody localization. As seen in one
previous patient with T-CLL (unreported result) the targeting of
involved lymph nodes occurred promptly (within 2 h), at a time
when no accumulation was seen in lymph node areas of CTCL
patients, suggesting a difference in T-cell trafficking between
the two diseases. Further evaluation of this observation is war-
ranted to determine the degree to which trafficking affects the
biodistribution and therapeutic efficacy of these and other ra-
dioimmunoconjugates.
