Biodistribution and Safety of a Radiopharmaceutical in Healthy Subjects

Serial whole body planar imaging in the anterior and posterior projection will be performed at 1 min, 30 min, 1 h, 2h, 3h, 4h, 5h, 6h, 7h, 8h, and 18-24h following injection of 5 mCi of 123-I INER. Venous blood data will be acquired at each imaging time point. In addition a 24 hour urine collection will commence following radiotracer injection and urine sampled in five collections every 4 hours collection for first sixteen hours (4 collections), then one collection from 16 to 24 h. Whole body and source organs uptake will be analyzed on anterior and posterior images for calculating the radiation absorbed doses to organs using the MIRD method as described previously (Seibyl, et al, 1993). Plasma and urine metabolites will be characterized and safety assessments obtained.
