The Washington University Office of Sponsored Research Services has been awarded a $1,283,068 Project Grant from the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.395 Cancer Treatment Research) to develop and evaluate next-generation radioimmunotherapies (RITs) for treating non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). The key objectives include:

  1. Evaluating novel anti-CD20 RITs using single-agent and combination alpha- (Ac225) and beta-particle (Lu177) emitting labeled ofatumumab in preclinical NHL models to determine optimal dosing and combination approaches.

  2. Developing and assessing new alpha-particle RITs targeting CD20 with both short-lived (Pb212) and long-lived (Th227) radionuclides to improve NHL treatment.

  3. Investigating a dual-targeted approach combining an anti-CD79B antibody-drug conjugate (Polivy) as a radiosensitizer for CD20-targeted RIT to enhance lymphoma curability.

The grant period runs from December 2024 to November 2029, with the goal of advancing these precision RIT approaches to human clinical trials and improving outcomes for patients with otherwise incurable NHL.
