Rapid assessment of target-binding fractions in molecular imaging agents using size-exclusion HPLC.
Article in EJNMMI radiopharmacy and chemistry, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe clinical translation of molecularly targeted therapeutics and imaging agents represents a cornerstone of precision oncology, with the global theranostics market projected to exceed $25 billion by 2030. However, the development of theragnostic agents or diagnostic companions remains constrained by analytical bottlenecks in quality control, such as target-binding fraction, which are increasingly required by regulatory agencies as product release criteria during the translation process. Current methods, including enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), which require specialized resources or external CROs, or bead-based assays for radiolabeled compounds, which involve complex multi-step protocols; these limitations and others hamper their practical implementation in clinical manufacturing environments. Assay delays can postpone clinical trial initiation, increase development costs, and delay patient access to these agents.
resultsWe have developed and validated a rapid, size-exclusion high-performance liquid chromatography (SE-HPLC) method for the determination of target-binding fractions of labeled biologics. The method separates the unbound biologic from the larger antigen-bound complex, allowing for rapid quantification. We validated the method using a panel of fluorescently labeled antibodies (panitumumab-IRDye800CW, nivolumab-IRDye800CW) and radiolabeled biologics ([18F]GEH200521, [18F]NOTA-ABY-030), assessing linearity, specificity, and concentration independence. The SE-HPLC method achieved excellent separation of bound and unbound species with a resolution (Rs) of 3.2. A strong linear relationship (R
conclusionsSE-HPLC provides a rapid, specific, and cost-effective alternative to traditional binding fraction assessment methods, reducing quality control timelines from weeks/hours to minutes. The method's compatibility with both fluorescent and radiolabeled biologics and integration with existing HPLC infrastructure represents a significant advancement in development workflows.
