Background: Malignant gliomas are deadly tumours with few therapeutic options. Although immunotherapy may be a promising therapeutic strategy for treating gliomas, a significant barrier is the CD11b+ tumour-associated myeloid cells (TAMCs), a heterogeneous glioma infiltrate comprising up to 40% of a glioma's cellular mass that inhibits anti-tumour T-cell function and promotes tumour progression. A theranostic approach uses a single molecule for targeted radiopharmaceutical therapy (TRT) and diagnostic imaging; however, there are few reports of theranostics targeting the tumour microenvironment. Methods: Utilizing a newly developed bifunctional chelator, Lumi804, an anti-CD11b antibody (αCD11b) was readily labelled with either Zr-89 or Lu-177, yielding functional radiolabelled conjugates for PET, SPECT, and TRT. Findings: 89Zr/177Lu-labeled Lumi804-αCD11b enabled non-invasive imaging of TAMCs in murine gliomas. Additionally, 177Lu-Lumi804-αCD11b treatment reduced TAMC populations in the spleen and tumour and improved the efficacy of checkpoint immunotherapy. Interpretation: 89Zr- and 177Lu-labeled Lumi804-αCD11b may be a promising theranostic pair for monitoring and reducing TAMCs in gliomas to improve immunotherapy responses.
