In-111 monoclonal antibody (MoAb) 9.2.27, a IgG2a, directed against a melanoma-associated antigen was administered in escalating doses (1-100 mg) to 9 patients (pts) with metastatic melanoma. This product (5 pts) or mixtures with 50 mg (3 pts) or 100 mg (1 pt) of unlabeled 9.2.27 was infused over 2 hr and serial scanning was performed from 2 hr to 6d. In an attempt to block nonspecific organ uptake 2 pts received 7.5 grams preinfusion of human gamma globulin (gamimmune). 2 of 5 pts receiving 1 mg had 2 of 8 known sites which were scan positive. In addition to tumor uptake, liver spleen and bone marrow uptake was prominent. Pts receiving greater than or equal to 50 mg had less ''non-specific'' organ uptake, and more prolonged plasma retention with 52% versus 14% in plasma at 24 hr. Pre-infusion of gamimmune had no effect on biodistribution. Predominant excretion was renal with 3% per day after the first 24 hours. No toxicity was observed. An antimouse immune response was seen in 1 of 4 pts tested. This data shows significant dose-dependent differences in biodistribution of In-111 9.2.27 with improved tumor detection at the higher dose levels.
