“…In terms of cytotoxicity, 131I-HLX58-Der exhibited greater activity compared to HLX58-Der. 125I-HLX58 and 131I-HLX58-Der demonstrated similar biodistribution profiles in CLDN18.2-positive tumor models, achieving 5.72 ± 0.41%ID/g (48 h) and 5.83 ± 0.41%ID/g (72 h) in the tumor tissues postinjection, respectively. The average tumor size in groups treated with 131I-HLX58-Der and HLX58-Der was reduced by factors of 12.15 and 4.80, respectively, compared to the control group. 131I-HLX58-Der demonstrated no toxic effects on hepatorenal function, routine blood tests, or major organs in mice when compared to the control group.Conclusion: These findings validate the potential of RADCs targeting CLDN18.2 in treating CLDN18.2-expressing solid tumors. …”
