Abstract: Background Median survival for patients with Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG) is 8-12 months.Methods A phase 1, open label, 3 + 3 dose-escalation trial delivered radiolabeled 124I-Omburtamab, targeting B7-H3, using MR-guided stereotactic convection-enhanced delivery (CED) into the brainstem of pediatric DIPG patients. CED was performed after completion of standard-of-care external-beam radiation therapy (EBRT). Fifty children were treated and evaluable. 124I-Omburtamab activity was escalated from 0.25 to 10.0 mCi (9.25-370 MBq) and volume escalated from 0.25 mL to 10.0 mL with serial PET/MRI post administration. Safety was the primary outcome. National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events were assessed for 30 days following CED of 124I-Omburtamab. Secondary outcomes included overall survival and lesion-to-whole-body absorbed dose ratio.Results The maximum tolerated activity per study protocol was determined to be 6mCi (222 MBq). The overall mean (+/- SD) total absorbed dose in the lesion per unit injected activity was 35.2 +/- 18 cGy/MBq with a high lesion-to-whole-body absorbed dose ratio averaging 816, across all activity levels. Eleven patients had treatment-related grade 3 CNS toxicities with no grade-4 or -5 CNS toxicities. Five dose-limiting toxicity events occurred. Median survival was 15.29 months from diagnosis (95% CI: 12.20-16.83 months). Survival rate estimates at 1, 2, and 3 years were 65.4% (CI 53.3-80.1%), 18.4% (CI: 10.2-33.2%), and 11.7% (CI: 5.3-25.7%), respectively.Conclusions Administration of 124I-Omburtamab via CED is a safe treatment option for DIPG, with a maximum tolerated activity level identified. This study represents the first-in-human theranostic use of a 124I radiopharmaceutical, simultaneously, as an imaging and therapeutic agent.Trial registration NCT01502917; https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT01502917
