RADIOLABELED ANALOG(S) OF COMPOUND 0118 AND USE THEREOF IN CONNECTION WITH PET AND/OR SPECT IMAGING TO DETERMINE WHETHER A PHARMACEUTICAL CONTAINING COMPOUND 0118 IS A CANDIDATE CANCER TREATMENT FOR A PATIENT

摘要

A method for determining whether compound 0118 is a candidate treatment for a patient includes processing, via a processor, image data of tissue of interest of a patient including a cancer to determine whether a radiolabeled analog of compound 0118 is present in the tissue of interest represented in the image data and generating a signal indicating that compound 0118 is a candidate treatment for the patient in response to the determining that the radiolabeled analog of compound 0118 is present in a predetermined amount in the tissue of interest represented in the image data, wherein the presence of the radiolabeled analog of compound 0118 in the tissue of interest indicates presence of a sub-type of cancer having a galectin-1 molecular target, which is a sub-type of treatable by compound 0118.
