Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Experimental
Tc 99m EC20
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).
