Two-compartment model of radioimmunotherapy delivered through cerebrospinal fluid.

ABSTRACT: Radioimmunotherapy (RIT) using (131)I-3F8 injected into cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was a safe modality for the treatment of leptomeningeal metastases (JCO, 25:5465, 2007). A single-compartment pharmacokinetic model described previously (JNM 50:1324, 2009) showed good fitting to the CSF radioactivity data obtained from patients. We now describe a two-compartment model to account for the ventricular reservoir of (131)I-3F8 and to identify limiting factors that may impact therapeutic ratio.Each parameter was examined for its effects on (1) the area under the radioactivity concentration curve of the bound antibody (AUC[C(IAR)]), (2) that of the unbound antibody AUC[C(IA)], and (3) their therapeutic ratio (AUC[C(IAR)]/AUC[C(IA)]).Data fitting showed that CSF kBq/ml data fitted well using the two-compartment model (R?=?0.95?±?0.03). Correlations were substantially better when compared to the one-compartment model (R?=?0.92?±?0.11 versus 0.77?±?0.21, p?=?0.005). In addition, we made the following new predictions: (1) Increasing immunoreactivity of (131)I-3F8 from 10% to 90% increased both (AUC[C(IAR)]) and therapeutic ratio ([AUC[C(IAR)]/AUC[C(IA)]] by 7.4 fold, (2) When extrapolated to the clinical setting, the model predicted that if (131)I-3F8 could be split into 4 doses of 1.4 mg each and given at ?24 hours apart, an antibody affinity of K(D) of 4?×?10(-9) at 50% immunoreactivity were adequate in order to deliver ?100 Gy to tumor cells while keeping normal CSF exposure to <10 Gy.This model predicted that immunoreactivity, affinity and optimal scheduling of antibody injections were crucial in improving therapeutic index.

Project description:Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dynamics play an important role in maintaining a stable central nervous system environment and are influenced by different physiological processes. Multiple studies have investigated these processes but the impact of each of them on CSF flow is not well understood. A deeper insight into the CSF dynamics and the processes impacting them is crucial to better understand neurological disorders such as hydrocephalus, Chiari malformation, and intracranial hypertension. This study presents a 3D computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model which incorporates physiological processes as boundary conditions. CSF production and pulsatile arterial and venous volume changes are implemented as inlet boundary conditions. At the outlets, 2-element windkessel models are imposed to simulate CSF compliance and absorption. The total compliance is first tuned using a 0D model to obtain physiological pressure pulsations. Then, simulation results are compared with in vivo flow measurements in the spinal subarachnoid space (SAS) and cerebral aqueduct, and intracranial pressure values reported in the literature. Finally, the impact of the distribution of and total compliance on CSF pressures and velocities is evaluated. Without respiration effects, compliance of 0.17 ml/mmHg yielded pressure pulsations with an amplitude of 5 mmHg and an average value within the physiological range of 7-15 mmHg. Also, model flow rates were found to be in good agreement with reported values. However, when adding respiration effects, similar pressure amplitudes required an increase of compliance value to 0.51 ml/mmHg, which is within the range of 0.4-1.2 ml/mmHg measured in vivo. Moreover, altering the distribution of compliance over the four different outlets impacted the local flow, including the flow through the foramen magnum. The contribution of compliance to each outlet was directly proportional to the outflow at that outlet. Meanwhile, the value of total compliance impacted intracranial pressure. In conclusion, a computational model of the CSF has been developed that can simulate CSF pressures and velocities by incorporating boundary conditions based on physiological processes. By tuning these boundary conditions, we were able to obtain CSF pressures and flows within the physiological range.

Project description:BackgroundCerebrospinal fluid (CSF) plays an important role in maintaining tissue homeostasis in the central nervous system. In 2012, the new CSF outflow pathway, "the glymphatic system," was discovered. The glymphatic system mediates CSF and interstitial fluid exchange through the perivascular pathway, which eliminates harmful solutes in the brain parenchyma. In recent studies, the importance of the glymphatic system has been demonstrated in healthy and neurodegenerative disease brains. However, there is limited research on the function of the CSF in brain tumors. Intracranial hypertension caused by glioma can affect CSF drainage, which impacts the delivery of chemotherapy drugs via intrathecal injection. This study focused on changes in the glymphatic system and the role of aquaporin 4 (AQP4) in glymphatic transport in glioma.MethodsIn glioma-bearing rats, the effect of tracer infusion on the intracranial pressure (ICP) was evaluated using an ICP microsensor. In vivo magnetic resonance imaging and ex vivo bright field were used to monitor CSF tracer distribution after cisterna magna injection. AQP4 expression was quantitatively detected, and AQP4 in the astrocytes around the vessels was observed using immunofluorescence.ResultsThe ICP of the tumor group was higher than that of the control group and the infusion rate of 2 µl/min did not affect ICP. In vivo and ex vivo imaging showed that the circulation of CSF tracers was significantly impaired in the tumor. High-power confocal microscopy revealed that, in the tumor, the surrounding of AQP4 by Evans Blue was decreased. In both tumor and contralateral areas, data indicated that the number of cluster designation 34 (CD34+) alpha-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA-) veins were more than that of CD34+α-SMA+ arteries. Moreover, in the tumor area, AQP4 in the astrocytes around the vessels was decreased.ConclusionsThese findings indicate that the para-arterial influx of subarachnoid CSF is limited in glioma, especially in those with reduced levels of the fundamental protein AQP4. Our results provide evidence toward a potential new treatment method for glioma in the future.
