The images on the cover were produced during a myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) study using technetium-99m to assess blood flow to heart tissues (courtesy of Henry D. Royal, Washington University School of Medicine). The series of tomographic images at the top are produced during the stress portion (either exercise or pharmacological) of the test and the images at the bottom during the rest portion. The center image (referred to as a bulls-eye image) combines multiple images taken at stress or rest (in this case at rest) to assess myocardial perfusion defects. The black area of the bulls-eye image corresponds to areas of abnormal myocardial perfusion. The patient was diagnosed with a myocardial infarction (i.e., heart attack).

Molybdenum-99 for Medical Imaging The National Academy of Sciences was established in 1863 by an Act of Congress, signed by President Lincoln, as a private, nongovernmental institution to advise the nation on issues related to science and technology. Members are elected by their peers for outstanding contributions to research. Dr. Marcia McNutt is president. The National Academy of Engineering was established in 1964 under the charter of the National Academy of Sciences to bring the practices of engineering to advising the nation. Members are elected by their peers for extraordinary contri- butions to engineering. Dr. C. D. Mote, Jr., is president. The National Academy of Medicine (formerly the Institute of Medicine) was established in 1970 under the charter of the National Academy of Sciences to advise the nation on medical and health issues. Members are elected by their peers for distinguished contributions to medicine and health. Dr. Victor J. Dzau is president. The three Academies work together as the National Academies of Sciences, Engi- neering, and Medicine to provide independent, objective analysis and advice to the nation and conduct other activities to solve complex problems and inform public policy decisions. The Academies also encourage education and research, recognize outstanding contributions to knowledge, and increase public under- standing in matters of science, engineering, and medicine.

This AR reflects the CHMP opinion on 20 March 2014, which originally recommended to approve this medicine. The recommendation was conditional to the results of the on-going confirmatory study EC-FV-06. Before the marketing authorisation was granted by the EC, the results of this study became available and did not support the initial recommendation. Subsequently, the company decided to withdraw the application and not to pursue any longer the authorisation for marketing this product. The current report does not include the latest results of this study as the withdrawal of the application did not allow for the CHMP to revise its opinion in light of the new data. For further information please refer to the Q&A which followed the company’s withdrawal of the application. 30 Churchill Place ● Canary Wharf ● London E14 5EU ● United Kingdom Telephone +44 (0)20 3660 6000 Facsimile +44 (0)20 3660 5505 Send a question via our website www.ema.europa.eu/contact An agency of the European Union © European Medicines Agency, 2014.

Upon administration, tanibirumab specifically binds to VEGFR2, thereby preventing the binding of its ligand VEGF. This may result in the inhibition of tumor angiogenesis and a decrease in tumor nutrient supply. VEGFR2 is a pro-angiogenic growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase expressed by endothelial cells, while VEGF is overexpressed in many tumors and is correlated to tumor progression.

    Development and Evaluation of Radiotracers for Tumor Imaging via Positron Emission Tomography Dissertation zur Erlangung des Grades eines “Doktor rerum naturalium (Dr. rer. nat.)“ im Promotionsfach Chemie Am Fachbereich Chemie, Pharmazie und Geowissenschaften der Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz Kathrin Kettenbach geboren in Mainz Mainz, im Februar 2017 Dekan: Erster Berichterstatter: Zweiter Berichterstatter: Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 06.06.2017 Die vorliegende Arbeit wurde in der Zeit von 2013 bis 2017 am Institut für Kernchemie der Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz angefertigt. „I hereby declare that I wrote the dissertation submitted without any unauthorized external assistance and used only sources acknowledged in this work. All textual passages which are appropriated verbatim or paraphrased from published and unpublished texts as well as information obtained from oral sources are duly indicated and listed in accordance with bibliographical rules. In carrying out this research, I complied with the rules of standard scientific practice as formulated in the statutes of Johannes Gutenberg-University Mainz to insure standard scientific practice.” Mainz, Februar 2017 Abstract Positron emission tomography (PET) enables the non-invasive imaging of metabolical processes in the human body. Thus, the use of radiolabeled cancer-specific targeting vectors can facilitate early diagnosis of tumors. A robust and reliable attachment of the radionuclide to the bioactive compound without major influences on its pharmacokinetic behavior is mandatory for routine PET imaging. In the herein presented work two different 18F-prosthetic groups for the radiolabeling of biomolecule-azides via click chemistry were evaluated. First, a strained prosthetic group based on (aza)dibenzocyclooctyne (DBCO) was developed to enable copper-free strain-promoted alkyne-azide cycloadditions (SPAAC) with biomolecule-azides.

ABSTRACT Tumor glucose metabolism and amino acid metabolism are usually enhanced, 18F-FDG for tumor glucose metabolism PET imaging has been clinically well known, but tumor amino acid metabolism PET imaging is not clinically familiar. Radiolabeled amino acids (AAs) are an important class of PET/CT tracers that target the upregulated amino acid transporters to show elevated amino acid metabolism in tumor cells. Radiolabeled amino acids were observed to have high uptake in tumor cells but low in normal tissues and inflammatory tissues.
