The radiotracer [89Zr]Zr-DFO-IMAB027 showed high contrast when visualizing CLDN6-expressing xenografts for PET imaging, and [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-IMAB027 induced rapid tumor regression in both the TE-1-CLDN6 and the CLDN6-PDX models. This research has implications for improving the radioligand diagnosis and treatment of EC.
CLDN6 expression seems ubiquitous in all elements of GCT and is worthy of investigation as a diagnostic biomarker and therapeutic target. (Clinical trial information: NCT03760081).
