The folate receptor is overexpressed in many types of cancer, including ovarian and endometrial cancer, and the level of folate receptor expression increases with the stage of the disease. Technetium Tc 99m EC20 (99mTc-EC20; FolateScan), a folate-targeted diagnostic radiopharmaceutical, is designed to bind to the folate receptor. Thus, FolateScan may provide an effective method to determine folate receptor-positive (FR+) target tumors, thereby assisting in the identification of those patients who may benefit from folate-targeted therapy.
This phase 2, two-center, open-label, single-treatment group, within-patient-controlled study was conducted to:

|---|---|---|---|
| Tc 99m EC20 | Experimental | Patients received 2 intravenous (IV) injections: 1 mg of folic acid (to reduce the uptake of FolateScan in normal tissues), followed 1 to 3 minutes later by 0.1 mg of EC20 labeled with 15 to 25 mCi of technetium-99m (99mTc) over 30 seconds in a total injection volume of 1 to 2 mL.2 Each injection was given as a slow IV push via a free-flowing indwelling IV catheter in an upper extremity vein (i.e., in the antecubital fossa). |
