P53 stabilisation potentiates [¹⁷⁷Lu]Lu-DOTATATE treatment in neuroblastoma xenografts.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Molecular radiotherapy is a treatment modality that is highly suitable for targeting micrometastases and [¹⁷⁷Lu]Lu-DOTATATE is currently being explored as a potential novel treatment option for high-risk neuroblastoma. p53 is a key player in the proapoptotic signalling in response to radiation-induced DNA damage and is therefore a potential target for radiosensitisation.

Methods

This study investigated the use of the p53 stabilising peptide VIP116 and [¹⁷⁷Lu]Lu-DOTATATE, either alone or in combination, for treatment of neuroblastoma tumour xenografts in mice. Initially, the uptake of [¹⁷⁷Lu]Lu-DOTATATE in the tumours was confirmed, and the efficacy of VIP116 as a monotherapy was evaluated. Subsequently, mice with neuroblastoma tumour xenografts were treated with placebo, VIP116, [¹⁷⁷Lu]Lu-DOTATATE or a combination of both agents.

Results

The results demonstrated that monotherapy with either VIP116 or [¹⁷⁷Lu]Lu-DOTATATE significantly prolonged median survival compared to the placebo group (90 and 96.5 days vs. 50.5 days, respectively). Notably, the combination treatment further improved median survival to over 120 days. Furthermore, the combination group exhibited the highest percentage of complete remission, corresponding to a twofold increase compared to the placebo group. Importantly, none of the treatments induced significant nephrotoxicity. Additionally, the therapies affected various molecular targets involved in critical processes such as apoptosis, hypoxia and angiogenesis.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the combination of VIP116 and [¹⁷⁷Lu]Lu-DOTATATE presents a promising novel treatment approach for neuroblastoma. These findings hold potential to advance research efforts towards a potential cure for this vulnerable patient population.

Project description:PurposeRecent reports personalizing the administered activity (AA) of each cycle of peptide receptor radionuclide therapy based on the predicted absorbed dose (AD) to the kidneys (dose-limiting organ) have been promising. Assuming identical renal pharmacokinetics for each cycle is pragmatic, however it may lead to over- or under-estimation of the optimal AA. Here, we investigate the influence that earlier cycles of [177Lu]Lu-DOTATATE had on the biokinetics and AD of subsequent cycles in a recent clinical trial that evaluated the safety and activity of [177Lu]Lu-DOTATATE in pediatric neuroblastoma (NBL). We investigated whether predictions based on an assumption of unchanging AD per unit AA (Gy/GBq) prove robust to cyclical changes in biokinetics.MethodsA simulation study, based on dosimetry data from six children with NBL who received four-cycles of [177Lu]Lu-DOTATATE in the LuDO trial (ISRCTN98918118), was performed to explore the effect of variable biokinetics on AD. In the LuDO trial, AA was adapted to the patient's weight and SPECT/CT-based dosimetry was performed for the kidneys and tumour after each cycle. The largest tumour mass was selected for dosimetric analysis in each case.ResultsThe median tumour AD per cycle was found to decrease from 15.6 Gy (range 8.12-26.4) in cycle 1 to 11.4 Gy (range 9.67-28.8), 11.3 Gy (range 2.73-32.9) and 4.3 Gy (range 0.72-20.1) in cycles 2, 3 and 4, respectively. By the fourth cycle, the median of the ratios of the delivered AD (ADD) and the predicted (or "expected") AD (ADE) (which was based on an assumption of stable biokinetics from the first cycle onwards) were 0.16 (range 0.02-0.92, p = 0.013) for the tumour and 1.08 (range 0.84-1.76, p > 0.05) for kidney. None of the patients had an objective response at 1 month follow up.ConclusionThis study demonstrates variability in Gy/GBq and tumour AD per cycle in children receiving four administrations of [177Lu]Lu-DOTATATE treatment for NBL. NBL is deemed a radiation sensitive tumour; therefore, dose-adaptive treatment planning schemes may be appropriate for some patients to compensate for decreasing tumour uptake as treatment progresses.

Project description:Tumor dosimetry was performed for 177Lu-DOTATATE with the aims of better understanding the range and variation of the tumor-absorbed doses (ADs), how different dosimetric quantities evolve over the treatment cycles, and whether this evolution differs depending on the tumor grade. Such information is important for radiobiologic interpretation and may inform the design of alternative administration schemes. Methods: The data came from 41 patients with neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) of grade 1 (n = 23) or 2 (n = 18) who had received between 2 and 9 treatment cycles. Dosimetry was performed for 182 individual lesions, giving a total of 880 individual AD assessments across all cycles. Hybrid planar-SPECT/CT imaging was used, including quantitative SPECT reconstruction, voxel-based absorbed-dose-rate calculation, semiautomatic image segmentation, and partial-volume correction. Linear mixed-effect models were used to analyze changes in tumor ADs over cycles, absorbed-dose rates and activity concentrations on day 1, effective half-times, and tumor volumes. Tumors smaller than 8 cm3 were excluded from analyses. Results: Tumor ADs ranged between 2 and 77 Gy per cycle. On average, the AD decreased over the cycles, with significantly different rates (P < 0.05) of 6% and 14% per cycle for grade 1 and 2 NETs, respectively. The absorbed-dose rates and activity concentrations on day 1 decreased by similar amounts. The effective half-times were less variable but shorter for grade 2 than for grade 1 (P < 0.001). For grade 2 NETs, the tumor volumes decreased, with a similar tendency in grade 1. Conclusion: The tumor AD, absorbed-dose rate, and activity uptake decrease, in parallel with tumor volumes, between 177Lu-DOTATATE treatment cycles, particularly for grade 2 NETs. The effective half-times vary less but are lower for grade 2 than grade 1 NETs. These results may indicate the development of radiation-induced fibrosis and could have implications for the design of future treatment and dosimetry protocols.

Project description:BackgroundPrediction of [177Lu]Lu-HA-DOTATATE kidney and tumor uptake based on diagnostic [68Ga]Ga-HA-DOTATATE imaging would be a crucial step for precision dosing of [177Lu]Lu-HA-DOTATATE. In this study, the population pharmacokinetic (PK) differences between [177Lu]Lu-HA-DOTATATE and [68Ga]Ga-HA-DOTATATE were assessed and subsequently [177Lu]Lu-HA-DOTATATE was predicted based on [68Ga]Ga-HA-DOTATATE imaging.MethodsA semi-physiological nonlinear mixed-effects model was developed for [68Ga]Ga-HA-DOTATATE and [177Lu]Lu-HA-DOTATATE, including six compartments (representing blood, spleen, kidney, tumor lesions, other somatostatin receptor expressing organs and a lumped rest compartment). Model parameters were fixed based on a previously developed physiologically based pharmacokinetic model for [68Ga]Ga-HA-DOTATATE. For [177Lu]Lu-HA-DOTATATE, PK parameters were based on literature values or estimated based on scan data (four time points post-injection) from nine patients. Finally, individual [177Lu]Lu-HA-DOTATATE uptake into tumors and kidneys was predicted based on individual [68Ga]Ga-HA-DOTATATE scan data using Bayesian estimates. Predictions were evaluated compared to observed data using a relative prediction error (RPE) for both area under the curve (AUC) and absorbed dose. Lastly, to assess the predictive value of diagnostic imaging to predict therapeutic exposure, individual prediction RPEs (using Bayesian estimation) were compared to those from population predictions (using the population model).ResultsPopulation uptake rate parameters for spleen, kidney and tumors differed by a 0.29-fold (15% relative standard error (RSE)), 0.49-fold (15% RSE) and 1.43-fold (14% RSE), respectively, for [177Lu]Lu-HA-DOTATATE compared to [68Ga]Ga-HA-DOTATATE. Model predictions adequately described observed data in kidney and tumors for both peptides (based on visual inspection of goodness-of-fit plots). Individual predictions of tumor uptake were better (RPE AUC -40 to 28%) compared to kidney predictions (RPE AUC -53 to 41%). Absorbed dose predictions were less predictive for both tumor and kidneys (RPE tumor and kidney -51 to 44% and -58 to 82%, respectively). For most patients, [177Lu]Lu-HA-DOTATATE tumor accumulation predictions based on individual PK parameters estimated from diagnostic imaging outperformed predictions based on population parameters.ConclusionOur semi-physiological PK model indicated clear differences in PK parameters for [68Ga]Ga-HA-DOTATATE and [177Lu]Lu-HA-DOTATATE. Diagnostic images provided additional information to individually predict [177Lu]Lu-HA-DOTATATE tumor uptake compared to using a population approach. In addition, individual predictions indicated that many aspects, apart from PK differences, play a part in predicting [177Lu]Lu-HA-DOTATATE distribution.
