A targeted radiopharmaceutical comprising a targeting species chemically-bonded to a PCTA-chelated Q.sup.+3 trivalent radioactive ion of Formula I

##STR00001##

is disclosed. Six of R.sup.1 through R.sup.7 are H and the seventh is a reacted functionality, Z, that forms the chemical bond with the targeting species, T. “g” is a number whose average value is 1 to about 12. X.sup.1, X.sup.2, and X.sup.3, are substituent groups that can coordinate to the Q.sup.+3 ion and/or help neutralize the ionic charge. Anion Y.sup.− is optionally present to balance the ionic charge. A pharmaceutical composition comprising a theranostic effective amount of a targeted radiopharmaceutical of Formula I in a pharmaceutically acceptable diluent is also contemplated, as are a method for treating and/or diagnosing a mammalian host having a disease, disorder or condition characterized by undesired angiogenesis, tumor growth and/or tumor metastasis.

Radioimmunoconjugates including a chelating moiety or a metal complex thereof, a linker, and an FGFR3 targeting moiety. Pharmaceutical compositions of such radioimmunoconjugates and methods of treatment for conditions, e.g., cancer, using such pharmaceutical compositions.

The invention provides a method for the formation of a tissue-targeting thorium complex, said method comprising; a) forming an octadentate chelator comprising four hydroxypyridinone (HOPO) moieties, substituted in the N-position with a methyl group, and a coupling moiety terminating in a carboxylic acid group; b) coupling said octadentate chelator to at least one tissue-targeting moiety targeting HER2; and c) contacting said tissue-targeting chelator with an aqueous solution comprising an ion of at least one alpha-emitting thorium isotope. A method of treatment of a neoplastic or hyperplastic disease comprising admistration of such a tissue-targeting thorium complex, as well as the complex and corresponding pharmaceutical formulations are also provided.

Described herein is the use of rabbit hybridoma technology, along with a panel of truncated mesothelin domain fragments, to identify anti-mesothelin mAbs that bind specific regions of mesothelin. In one aspect of the present disclosure, the rabbit mAbs bind an epitope that is not part of Region I. In particular, the identified mAbs (YP187, YP223, YP218 and YP3) bind either Region II (391-486), Region III (487-581) or a native conformation of mesothelin with subnanomolar affinity. These antibodies do not compete for binding with the mesothelin-specific immunotoxin SS1P or mesothelin-specific antibody MORAb-009. In another aspect, disclosed is a high-affinity rabbit mAb that binds Region I of mesothelin (YP158). YP158 binds native mesothelin protein in cancer cells and tissues with high affinity and specificity.

This invention relates to monovalent and multivalent, monospecific binding proteins and to multivalent, multispecific binding proteins. One embodiment of these binding proteins has one or more binding sites where each binding site binds with a target antigen or an epitope on a target antigen. Another embodiment of these binding proteins has two or more binding sites where each binding site has affinity towards different epitopes on a target antigen or has affinity towards either a target antigen or a hapten. The present invention further relates to recombinant vectors useful for the expression of these functional binding proteins in a host. More specifically, the present invention relates to the tumor-associated antigen binding protein designated RS7, and other EGP-1 binding-proteins. The invention further relates to humanized, human and chimeric RS7 antigen binding proteins, and the use of such binding proteins in diagnosis and therapy.

The invention provides a method for the formation of a tissue-targeting thorium complex, said method comprising; a) forming an octadentate chelator comprising four hydroxypyridinone (HOPO) moieties, substituted in the N-position with a methyl group, and a coupling moiety terminating in a carboxylic acid group; b) coupling said octadentate chelator to at least one tissue-targeting moiety targeting HER2; and c) contacting said tissue-targeting chelator with an aqueous solution comprising an ion of at least one alpha-emitting thorium isotope.
A method of treatment of a neoplastic or hyperplastic disease comprising administration of such a tissue-targeting thorium complex, as well as the complex and corresponding pharmaceutical formulations are also provided

A targeted radiopharmaceutical of chemical Formula I, below, is disclosed wherein Q.sup.+3 is a

##STR00001## trivalent radioactive isotope ion; M is a proton (H+), an ammonium ion or an alkali metal ion; “g” is a number that is 1 to about 12; the boxed mAb MNPR-101 represents the chemically-bonded humanized mAb MNPR-101; and Y− is an optional anion present in an amount needed to balance the ionic charge. A pharmaceutical composition that comprises a theranostic effective amount of a Formula I targeted radiopharmaceutical dissolved or dispersed in a pharmaceutically acceptable diluent is also disclosed, as are a method for treating and/or diagnosing a mammalian host having a disease, disorder or condition characterized by undesired angiogenesis, tumor growth and/or tumor metastasis. A targeted pro-radiopharmaceutical construct similar to that of Formula I but without the radioisotope (Formula III) is also contemplated.

The present disclosure provides compositions and methods for the treatment of cancer. Specifically, the compositions of the present technology include novel clearing agents that may be used in pretargeted radioimmunotherapy.
