Albany Molecular Research (AMRI) and GE Healthcare have renewed their long-term supply relationship.

Under the terms of the new deal, AMRI of Albany, NY, will supply a raw material for use in the Chalfont St. Giles, U.K.-based vendor's imaging agents. The work will be conducted at AMRI's Organichem manufacturing subsidiary in Rensselaer, NY.

The original agreement, which was set to expire in 2007, has been extended until December 2010. AMRI also said it would manufacture increased quantities of the raw material. Financial terms were not disclosed.

PET/CT images of F-18 AlF-NOTA-BCP137 in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and immunofluorescence analysis of patient tissues. (A) F-18 AlF-NOTA-BCP137 PET/CT images before and after immunotherapy for patient 1 and patient 2. (B) F-18 AlF-NOTA-BCP137 PET/CT and MR images of patient 3 (left panels) after one cycle of immunotherapy. PET images showed higher uptake by tumor and spleen, and PET result was evaluated as positive; therefore, the patient was considered to be responder to treatment and underwent surgical resection. Representative images of hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining and multiplex immunofluorescence of CD8 and CD137 (right panels) in HCC tumor and adjacent normal tissues of patient 3 after surgery. Nuclei were stained with 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole. Primary tumors are indicated by white arrows, and increased thyroid uptake is indicated by red arrow in PET images.

Two cases of pathologically confirmed intrahepatic cholangiocarcinomas in 68-year-old male patients. In both cases (A-H, case 1; I-P, case 2), CT scans (B, F, case 1; J, N, case 2) revealed intrahepatic bile duct dilation and suspected nodular lesions. While F-18 FDG PET/CT (A, C, D, case 1; I, K, L, case 2) failed to demonstrate abnormal tracer uptake (SUVmax 3.5, TBR 1.3 in Case 1; SUVmax 2.6, TBR 1.2 in Case 2), F-18 FAPI-04 PET/CT (E, G, H, case 1; M, O, P, case 2 ) showed positive uptake in the nodular lesions (SUVmax 9.7, TBR 3.5 in Case 1; SUVmax 9.6, TBR 3.3 in Case 2).
