INTRODUCTION 
 
Variable domain of a heavy-chain-only antibody (VHH) fragments are the antigen-binding units 
derived from heavy chain only camelid antibodies. Compared to conventional antibodies or 
antibody fragments, VHH fragments are smaller (15 kDa) and they have the ability to bind 
antigens on hidden or unusual epitopes. VHHs are considered low immunogenic, have 
nanomolar affinities and can be produced in high yields (1).  
 
Malignant tumors are characterized by the presence of specific proteins on their cell membrane. 
These cancer antigens are expressed in relatively high amounts and often their expression level 
is related to a signal transduction cascade that contributes or promotes the cancer phenotype. 
Hence, these membrane antigens represent an important target for anti-cancer treatment. 
Theoretically, VHHs can be generated against virtually any cancer-specific membrane-
associated protein. In a series of studies, the In vivo Cellular and Molecular Imaging lab (ICMI) 
at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) demonstrated that VHHs bear unusually beneficial 
properties for targeted radionuclide therapy (TRNT) (2-4). Indeed, in mice, radiolabeled VHHs 
efficiently penetrate tumors and tissues; bind biomarkers expressed on cells very fast and very 
specifically while unbound VHH is rapidly cleared from non-target organs and tissues. When 
coupled to a diagnostic radionuclide, this allows generating high contrast images as fast as 1h 
after tracer administration (5). As such the ICMI lab has developed them as efficient 
radiotracers for diagnostic imaging in various animal models of cancer, inflammation and 
cardiovascular diseases using Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) or 
Positron Emission Tomography (PET) (6-8). 
 
The human epidermal growth factor receptor type 2 (HER2) is a typical example of a membrane 
receptor that is highly expressed on the cell membrane of breast and ovarian carcinoma. 
Signaling of this receptor causes cell proliferation, enhances cell mobility and reduces 
apoptosis. Consequently, HER2 over-expression is associated with tumor aggressiveness and an 
increased probability for recurrent disease. Targeted therapies for HER2 over-expressing tumors 
are currently available, such as monoclonal antibodies (Trastuzumab and Pertuzumab) that 
specifically bind the extracellular domain of HER2, and specific tyrosine kinase inhibitors 
(lapatinib) that interact with the intracellular domain of HER2. Information on the HER2 status 
of tumors is therefore of great importance since it has an enormous impact on the selection of 
the patients’ therapy. At present, HER2 expression is assessed using tissue biopsies. The Anti-
HER2 VHH1 was selected as a lead compound because of superior characteristics and the fact 
that it does not compete with binding of Trastuzumab and Pertuzumab (7).  
 
The Anti-HER2 VHH1 was successfully evaluated in a first clinical study: the UZBRU-VHH1 
study. In this study the Anti-HER2 VHH1 was labeled with 68Ga to non-invasively detect 
HER2 expression using PET. The evaluation of safety and tolerability as primary outcome,

based on observed adverse events (AEs), was completed for all 20 patients. No related AEs 
were observed. The main conclusions of the HER2 diagnostic clinical study are that (i) 68Ga-
HER2 PET/CT is a safe procedure with a radiation dose comparable to other PET/CT 
procedures and (ii) the radiolabeled VHH imaging reveals whole-body expression of HER2 in 
primary tumors and metastases.  
 
Preclinical studies with the Anti-HER2 VHH1 labeled with 131I were performed. In these 
studies the compound revealed similar binding characteristics and in vivo blood clearance 
compared to the 68Ga-labeled compound. However, the biodistribution profile was more 
favorable with much lower kidney values compared to the 68Ga-labeled compound in mice. 
The dose delivered to the tumor remained high and was higher than the dose delivered to the 
kidneys. The favorable biodistribution in mice of 131I-SGMIB Anti-HER2 VHH1, combined 
with the theranostic characteristics of 131I has now triggered the interest to use this compound 
as a therapeutic agent in TRNT of cancer (9-10). 
 
The rationale for the development of 131I-SGMIB Anti-HER2 VHH1 is to allow both 
screening patients for the presence of the HER2 antigen using SPECT and a subsequent 
therapeutic approach using the identical compound (11). The screening approach will offer 
superior diagnostic performance because the entire tumor lesion as well as possible metastatic 
lesions can be evaluated with a single total body scanning procedure (SPECT). The procedure is 
fast, painless and sampling errors with biopsies are avoided. This screening test will allow the 
clinician to select patients that are susceptible to TRNT. In patients that do not have HER2 
positive cancers unnecessary, expensive and potentially toxic treatment can be avoided. The 
SPECT scans could also be used to follow the expression of this biomarker during the disease 
process and act as prognostic marker.

phase high pressure liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) to identify possible metabolites.  
 
The PI of the local nuclear medicine department will also perform the analyses of the dynamic 
planar scan, the total body scans and the SPECT/CT scans. 
From the dynamic planar scan, time activity curves for kidney and liver activity will be drawn.  
The total body scans will be used for region of interest analysis to derive input data for the 
OLINDA/EXM software 1.0 in order to calculate dosimetry data (12). 
SPECT/CT scans will be analyzed visually and tumor uptake will be scored by the PI: intense, 
moderate, low or no uptake. In addition, tumor lesions will be quantified to obtain a 
measurement of activity per unit of volume.

Preparation and drug administration: 
The product will be received by the radiopharmacist of UZ Brussel, checked for its integrity and 
recorded on the Drug Receipt Form. The radiopharmacist will be responsible for receiving the 
batch release certificate and the QC results of the received batch from the manufacturer.  
The radiopharmacist will contact the QP of the manufacturer to have the authorization of use. 
The product will be stored at 5±3°C until use. The product will normally be used within 24h 
after production by the manufacturer. The radiopharmacist of UZ Brussel could ask the QP of 
the manufacturer for authorization to use the product at a later time point based on stability data. 
The product will be drawn into a 20ml syringe and a 0.9% NaCl solution for injection will be 
added to obtain a final volume of 15ml. The injection syringe will need to be labeled with the 
appropriate identification label. The product will only be administered in the presence of a 
physician.  
 
The radiopharmacy and the investigators will keep adequate records for the receipt, preparation, 
administration and return of study medication. They would not allow the study medication to be 
used for purposes other than as directed by this protocol. All data regarding the study 
medication must be recorded in the relevant forms provided by the Sponsor. 
The radiopharmacy will allow the used study drug (empty vials) to decay and be destroyed 
according to the local procedures for destruction of radioactive waste.  
In case of remaining treatment (vials not used), these will have to be destroyed according to the 
local procedures for destruction of radioactive waste.  
 
5.8 Previous and concomitant medication/therapy 
The subject should not have received radiolabeled compounds with a long half-life (>7h) for 
diagnostic or therapeutic purposes within the last 2 days. 
Other medication to treat AEs might only be prescribed after consultation of the PI, unless in 
case of an emergency situation. 
 
5.8.1 Potential risks and benefits to human subjects 
 
Potential Risks 
All medicinal products can have known or unforeseeable side effects. The previous study 
UZBRU-VHH1 has shown that a similar product was well-tolerated, without any side effects. 
However unknown side effects or discomforts could appear. 
 
The administration of the product in a vein and blood sampling (around 5ml of blood) might 
(rarely) cause pain, bleeding, bruising or infection localised around the injection site. Similarly, 
some subjects might feel dizzy or even faint during the procedure. The clinical team that will 
perform this procedure will do all they can to keep these discomforts to a minimum.

During this investigation the subjects will be exposed to a low amount of ionizing radiation. 
The past study involving a similar product showed that the exposure to radiation was very low, 
and lower that the exposure caused by a routinely performed FDG-PET scan. 
 
No information is available that can predict an interaction with the current product. Preclinical 
studies showed no interactions with anti-HER2 treatments such as PertuzumAb and 
TrastuzumAb (7). 
 
Benefits 
For the healthy volunteers, no benefits are expected. 
For the HER2+ breast cancer patients the investigated diagnostic product might or might not 
prove beneficial in diagnosing and treatment of the disease. 
The information obtained thanks to this study might contribute to a better knowledge of the use 
of this investigational product or to the development of a new medicinal product for the 
diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer in patients. 
 
5.9 Outcome measures of safety, tolerability and tumor targeting 
5.9.1 Primary outcome measures of safety and tolerability 
 
Tolerability and safety of [131I]-SGMIB Anti-HER2 VHH1 will be assessed by the collection 
and evaluation of data pertaining to all AEs experienced by subjects during the study. Subjects 
will undergo a physical examination including vital signs and be asked about changes in 
concomitant diseases and general physical and emotional state using open, non-leading 
questions. Blood will be collected for hematology and clinical chemistry. 
A physical examination including vital signs (arterial blood pressure and pulse rate) will be 
performed pre-administration. Additionally the vital signs will be monitored at 5±10min post-
administration. A second physical exam will be performed at 4.5±1h post-administration for the 
healthy subjects and at 3±1h for the HER2+ breast cancer patients.  
Safety laboratory examination:  A blood sampling will be performed before and at 24±4h after 
the administration of the [131I]-SGMIB Anti-HER2 VHH1, using 1 lithium/heparin sample of 
5ml and 1 EDTA sample of 2.6ml at each time point. 
Any clinically relevant change from a baseline laboratory value will be recorded as an AE in the 
CRF unless it can reasonably be assumed to result from improper handling, a measurement 
error or some other technical cause. 
 
From the hematology and clinical chemistry we expect no major changes (±20% deviation of 
the baseline value and outside of the laboratory reference values).

Page 25 of 36 
 
We expect no significant changes in the physical exam in comparison with the physical exam 
before product administration. 
 
From the blood sampling we expect to obtain the time-activity curve of the product in blood to 
be biphasic with a rapid distribution and elimination phase. After 24h we expect that less than 
10% IA will be present in the blood. 
 
From the urine sampling we will measure the fraction of un-metabolized product. 
 
Human biodistribution will be assessed for the healthy volunteers using the dynamic scan and 
planar total body scans.  
 
From the imaging results we expect to visualize liver and kidney as primary elimination routes 
and potentially uptake in tissues with physiological HER2 expression such as thyroid, pituitary, 
salivary, lacrimal, sweat glands and intestines. 
 
Human dosimetry will be quantified using region of interest measurements on the total body 
scan of the different subjects. OLINDA/EXM software 1.0 will be used to generate dosimetry 
estimates for the healthy subjects (12). 
 
5.9.2 Secondary outcome measures of tumor targeting 
 
The tumor targeting potential will be visually scored as positive (intense, moderate or low) or 
negative by the PI.  
 
We expect that patients with measurable HER2+ cancer lesions (lesions above 3cm) will be 
detectable using SPECT/CT. The activity per unit of volume will be quantified by the PI. 
 
5.10 Adverse events / serious adverse events 
5.10.1 Definitions 
 
The definitions of the AEs and related terminology are those in the ICH E6 guidance. 
Grading will be evaluated according to CTCAE v4.0. AE coding will be performed with the 
MedDRA dictionary v18.1. 
 
5.10.2 Documentation and reporting 
 
All observed or volunteered AEs regardless of suspected causal relationship to the IMP will be 
recorded on the AE page(s) of the case report form. The investigator must assess all AEs for 
seriousness, severity and relation to IMP.

The investigator will follow all AEs, regardless of seriousness or severity, until the event or its 
sequelae resolve or stabilize at a level acceptable to the investigator. 
 
The investigator is responsible for ensuring appropriate clinical management of all AEs until 
they are resolved or stabilized at a level acceptable to the investigator. Appropriate clinical 
management of AEs is at the discretion of the investigator.  
All clinically significant abnormal laboratory tests occurring during the study will be repeated 
at appropriate intervals until they return to baseline or to a level deemed acceptable by the 
investigator, or until the abnormality is explained by an appropriate diagnosis. 
 
5.10.3 Expedited reporting of serious adverse events (SAEs) 
 
Any SAE must be reported to the sponsor within 24h of awareness. Such events will be 
documented in the best possible detail on the SAE Report Form to be transmitted to the sponsor 
by fax or email. The immediate report shall be followed by detailed, written reports. The 
immediate and follow-up reports shall identify subjects by unique code numbers assigned to the 
latter. AEs and/or laboratory abnormalities identified in the protocol as critical to safety 
evaluations shall be reported to the sponsor.

For all these SAEs, the investigator is obligated to pursue and provide information as requested 
by the Sponsor or its designated representative in addition to that on the CRF. In general, this 
will include a description of the AE in sufficient detail to allow for a complete medical 
assessment of the case and independent determination of possible causality. Information on

other possible causes of the event, including concomitant medications and illnesses must be 
provided. The investigator’s assessment of causality must also be provided. If causality is 
unknown and the investigator does not know whether or not study drug caused the event, then it 
should be attributed to the study drug. 
 
In the case of a subject death, a summary of available autopsy findings must be submitted as 
soon as possible to the Sponsor or its designated representative. For reported deaths of a 
subject, the investigator shall supply the sponsor, the Ethics Committee and regulatory 
authorities with any additional information requested. 
 
The sponsor shall keep detailed records of all AEs that are reported to him by the investigator or 
sub-investigators. 
 
5.11 Statistical methods planned 
 
5.11.1 Sample size justification 
 
No statistical hypothesis has to be tested. Therefore, no formal sample size calculations have 
been made. The sample size has been determined based on literature (12). 
 
Overall, 10 humans (healthy volunteers and patients pooled together) are going to be exposed to 
the IMP. For a sample size of 10, the probability of observing at least one event will be 90% 
(power) when the actual probability of the event is 20.6%, and a power of 80% will be ensured 
for an actual probability of the event of 14.9%. The probability (power) of observing an event 
having a frequency of 10% will be 65.1% and that of observing an event having a frequency of 
5% will be 40.1%. 
 
5.11.2 Safety 
 
Safety of the [131I]-SGMIB Anti-HER2 VHH1 will be evaluated based on the adverse effects, 
their intensity and relationship to the investigational product. The evaluation is of a qualitative 
manner and no statistical inferential methods are planned for this objective. Classical 
descriptive statistics for categorical variables (N, n and %) will be used. 
 
5.11.3 Biodistribution and dosimetry  
 
For the biodistribution evaluation, all organs with an uptake higher than the background 
(surrounding soft tissues) will be included in the evaluation as source organs.  
The percentage of injected activity (%IA) will be calculated, in each set of images, as the ratio 
between the measured activity in the organ and the injected activity. Organ time activity curves

will be generated, plotting %IA vs. time. The individual and mean blood and plasma time–
activity curves will be obtained using the measured activity in blood and plasma samples. 
 
All dosimetric evaluations will be done using the OLINDA/EXM 1.0 software (12). Total dose 
estimates and the dose estimate for the organs with the highest dose (most likely kidney and 
bladder) will be reported using classical descriptive statistics for continuous variables (N, n, 
mean, median, standard deviation, minimum and maximum). 
 
5.11.4 Tumor uptake 
 
Tumor uptake will be scored visually as positive or negative in all known tumor lesions. 
Classical descriptive statistics for categorical variables (N, n and %) will be used to characterize 
this variable.  
 
5.12 Criteria for termination of the study 
In case a SAE related to the IMP occurs, the trial will be stopped. 
When the number of subjects that achieved the trial is equal to 6 healthy volunteers, the DSMB 
will evaluate the safety profile of the product and take the decision to include the 4 HER2+ 
breast cancer patients.

6. 
DATA HANDLING AND RECORD KEEPING 
 
6.1 Case report form  
A paper CRF will be completed for each screened subject.  
This CRF will include specific pages for inclusion and exclusion criteria conclusions, for 
general and technical examination during the screening visit, and for reporting each visit and 
biological results. Other specific pages will be dedicated to potential supplementary visit, in 
case of subject stop or withdrawal, and to the recording of concomitant treatments and AEs 
(non-serious and serious).  
The investigator will review, approve and validate each completed CRF; the investigator’s 
signature (validation) serving as attestation of the investigator’s responsibility for ensuring that 
all clinical and laboratory data entered on the CRF are complete, accurate and authentic.   
 
7. 
DIRECT ACCESS TO SOURCES  
 
The investigator will provide direct access to source data and documents to Sponsor. The 
Sponsor representatives will have the authorization to access of medical records of each subject 
participating to the clinical trial. 
 
7.1 Source data and documents 
Source data are all the information in original records and certified copies of original records of 
clinical findings, observations, or other activities in the study, which are necessary for the 
reconstruction and evaluation of the study. Source data are contained in source documents 
(originals or certified copies).  
All information recorded on the CRFs for this study must be consistent with the subject’s 
source documentation. The source documents (i.e. hospital records) must contain the first, 
middle (where applicable) and the last name of the subject, the date of birth and address, the 
information that the informed consent was signed and dated prior to the study screening, the 
date of entry in the study, the date of the visits, the code number of the subject, the dosing, the 
number of used IMPs, the efficacy data if applicable, the safety data and the date of completion 
of the study. 
Source records should be preserved for the maximum period of time permitted by local 
requirements (30 years in Belgium). For each subject enrolled, the investigator will indicate in 
the source record(s) that the subject participates in this study, and record the following 
information: subject number, identification of the subjects (name, address, etc.), dates of drug 
administration, vital signs, any AEs, study completion date, and main reason for 
discontinuation, if applicable.

7.2 Direct access to source data and documents 
Besides the monitor, regulatory authorities, members of ethics committees and the sponsor's 
clinical quality assurance representative or the sponsor's monitors, may carry out source data 
checks and/or on-site audits or inspections. Direct access to source data will be required for 
these audits and inspections; they will be carried out giving due consideration to data protection 
and medical confidentiality. The investigator will assure the authorities and the sponsor of the 
necessary support at all times. 
 
7.3 Confidentiality and subject anonymity 
Secret must be respected regarding the identity of persons participating in a clinical study and 
all information of a personal or medical nature concerning these subjects. Any information 
which might permit identification of subject must be kept confidential. This confidentiality 
must be guaranteed to all subjects participating in the study. 
In all reports involving the subjects included in the study, each subject will be identified only by 
a subject number with three characters and the birthday year. 
The investigator will ensure that the confidentiality of subjects' data will be preserved. On CRFs 
or any other documents submitted to the sponsor, the subjects will not be identified by their 
names, but by an identification system, which consists of their number in the study. Documents 
that identify the names of participants against their study number, i.e. the confidential subject 
identification log will be maintained by the investigator in strict confidence and will not be sent 
to the sponsor in any circumstances. 
The investigator will be personally responsible for the updating of a subject identification log 
which relates subject numbers to the names and means of contact of each subject in the study. 
This log will be kept in the investigator's file so that the investigator can contact the subjects. 
The confidentiality of these data will be preserved in accordance with the applicable national 
and/or local laws and regulations on personal data protection. 
Monitors, auditors and other authorized agents of Camel-IDS NV will be granted direct access 
to study subject’s original medical records for verification of clinical study procedures and/or 
data, without violating the confidentiality of the subjects, to the extent permitted by the law and 
regulations. In any presentations of the results of this study at meetings or in publications, the 
subjects’ identity will remain confidential. 
8. 
QUALITY CONTROL 
 
The investigator will permit direct access of the study monitors and appropriate regulatory 
authorities to the study data and to the corresponding source data and documents to verify the 
accuracy of this data.

Quality control measures will be followed throughout the study. The clinical study monitor will 
observe the progress of the study. Contacts with the investigator and on-site visits at regular 
intervals for the purpose of data review, including the comparison of source documents with 
data recorded in the CRFs will occur. He or she will also ensure compliance of the study site 
with the protocol, applicable SOPs and guidelines as described in this protocol. The review of 
the subjects’ medical records will be performed in a manner to ensure that subject 
confidentiality is maintained. The principal investigator or his/her representative will need to be 
available during these visits. 
On-site visits will be made before study initiation and in eligible time intervals during the study. 
Communication by telephone and mail may be used as needed to supplement (but not 
substitute) visits. 
The monitor will have the responsibility of reviewing the ongoing study with the investigator to 
verify adherence to the protocol and to deal with any problems if and when they arise. Special 
items to be monitored are: subject enrolment, completeness, exactness and plausibility of data 
entered in the CRF, verification against source data, drug accountability and occurrence of AEs. 
The confidentiality of study documents will be maintained at all times. The investigator agrees 
to allow the monitor access to any or all of the study materials needed for the monitor to 
properly review the study progress. The investigator (or deputy) agrees to assist the monitor in 
resolving any problem that may be detected during the monitoring visit. 
Monitor should write a monitoring report of visit performed on investigator sites and a 
monitoring letter to the visited investigator.  
Quality control must also be performed on an ongoing basis at various stages in the data 
cleaning process. Quality control documentation is required for biometrics activities. Contractor 
should prove validation of computerized system used for clinical data recording.  
 
8.1 Audits and inspections 
The investigator should understand that source documents for this study should be made 
available to appropriately qualified personnel from the Sponsor, Quality Assurance Unit or its 
designees, or to Health Authority Inspectors after appropriate notification. The investigator's 
site, facilities and all data (including source data) and documentation could be made available 
for audit by an independent quality assurance unit and for EC or regulatory authorities 
according to the guideline of the international conference on harmonization (ICH)-good clinical 
practice (GCP). The investigator agrees to co-operate with the auditor during his/her visit and 
will be available to supply the auditor with CRFs or other files necessary to conduct that audit. 
Any findings will be strictly confidential. 
In the event that a regulatory authority informs the investigator that it intends to conduct an 
inspection, sponsor shall be notified immediately. 
The main purposes of an audit or inspection are to confirm that the rights and well-being of the 
subjects have been adequately protected, and that all data relevant for the evaluation of the 
investigational product have been processed and reported in compliance with GCP and

control of source documents. 
 
9. 
ETHICS  
 
9.1 Ethics Committee Approval  
The sponsor will obtain, from the Ethics Committee of UZ Brussel and from each participating 
hospital’s local Ethics Committee, a prospective approval of the clinical study protocol and 
corresponding informed consent form(s); modifications to the protocol and corresponding 
informed consent form(s), and advertisements (i.e., directed at potential research subjects) for 
study recruitment.  
 
The Ethics Committee of UZ Brussel operates in compliance with European regulations and in 
conformance with applicable ICH-GCP guideline.  
 
In the event that the Ethics Committee requires, as a condition of approval, substantial changes 
to the clinical protocol, or in the event of a sponsor’s decision to modify the previously 
accepted clinical protocol, the investigator will submit (i.e., in advance of implementing the 
change) a Protocol Amendment describing any change to the clinical protocol that significantly 
affects the safety of the subjects.  For changes that do not affect critical safety assessments, the 
revisions to the clinical protocol will be notified to the Ethics Committee(s). 
 
9.2 Ethical and scientific conduct of the clinical study  
The clinical study will be conducted in accordance with the current Ethics committee-approved 
clinical study protocol; Declaration of Helsinki principles; ICH Guidelines on GCP; and 
relevant policies, requirements, and regulations.
