DNA damage in blood lymphocytes in patients after (177)Lu peptide receptor radionuclide therapy.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The aim of the study was to investigate DNA double strand break (DSB) formation and its correlation with the absorbed dose to the blood lymphocytes of patients undergoing their first peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) with (177)Lu-labelled DOTATATE/DOTATOC.

Methods

The study group comprised 16 patients receiving their first PRRT. At least six peripheral blood samples were obtained before, and between 0.5 h and 48 h after radionuclide administration. From the time-activity curves of the blood and the whole body, residence times for blood self-irradiation and whole-body irradiation were determined. Peripheral blood lymphocytes were isolated, fixed with ethanol and subjected to immunofluorescence staining for colocalizing ?-H2AX/53BP1 DSB-marking foci. The average number of DSB foci per cell per patient sample was determined as a function of the absorbed dose to the blood and compared with an in vitro calibration curve established in our laboratory with (131)I and (177)Lu.

Results

The average number of radiation-induced foci (RIF) per cell increased over the first 5 h after radionuclide administration and decreased thereafter. A linear fit from 0 to 5 h as a function of the absorbed dose to the blood agreed with our in vitro calibration curve. At later time-points the number of RIF decreased, indicating progression of DNA repair.

Conclusion

Measurements of RIF and the absorbed dose to the blood after systemic administration of (177)Lu may be used to obtain data on the individual dose-response relationships in vivo. Individual patient data were characterized by a linear dose-dependent increase and an exponential decay function describing repair.

Project description:This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of multiple cycles of 177Lu-DOTA-Evans blue (EB)-TATE peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) at escalating doses in neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). Methods: Thirty-two NET patients were randomly divided into 3 groups and treated with escalating doses. Group A received 1.17 ± 0.09 GBq/cycle; group B, 1.89 ± 0.53 GBq/cycle; and group C, 3.97 ± 0.84 GBq/cycle. The treatment was planned for up to 3 cycles. Treatment-related adverse events were graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), version 5.0. Treatment response was evaluated according to the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer criteria and modified PERCIST. Results: Administration of PRRT was well tolerated, without life-threatening adverse events (CTCAE grade 4). CTCAE grade 3 hematotoxicity was recorded in 1 patient (16.6%) in group B (thrombocytopenia) and 3 patients (21.4%) in group C (thrombocytopenia in 3, anemia in 1). CTCAE grade 3 hepatotoxicity (elevated aspartate aminotransferase) was recorded in 1 patient in group A (8.3%) and 1 patient in group C (7.1%). No nephrotoxicity was observed. According to the criteria of the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer, the overall disease response rates were similar in groups A, B, and C (50.0%, 50.0%, and 42.9%, respectively), and the overall disease control rates were higher in groups B (83.3%) and C (71.5%) than in group A (66.7%). According to modified PERCIST, a lower disease response rate but a similar disease control rate were found. When a comparable baseline SUVmax ranging from 15 to 40 was selected, the percentage change in SUVmax increased slightly in group A (2.1% ± 40.8%) but decreased significantly in groups B and C (-38.7% ± 10.0% and -14.7% ± 20.0%, respectively) after the first PRRT (P = 0.001) and decreased in all 3 groups after the third PRRT (groups A, B, and C: -6.9% ± 42.3%, -49.2% ± 30.9%, -11.9% ± 37.9%, respectively; P = 0.044). Conclusion: Dose escalations of up to 3.97 GBq/cycle seem to be well tolerated for 177Lu-DOTA-EB-TATE. 177Lu-DOTA-EB-TATE doses of 1.89 and 3.97 GBq/cycle were effective in tumor control and more effective than 1.17 GBq/cycle.

Project description:PurposeProstate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) continues to be the hallmark biomarker for prostate cancer as it is expressed on nearly all prostatic tumors. In addition, increased PSMA expression correlates with castration resistance and progression to the metastatic stage of the disease. Recently, we combined both an albumin-binding motif and an irreversible PSMA inhibitor to develop the novel PSMA-targeted radiotherapeutic agent, CTT1403. This molecule was novel in the field of PSMA-targeted agents as its key motifs resulted in extended blood circulation time and tumor uptake, rapid and extensive internalization into PSMA+ cells, and promising therapeutic efficacy. The objective of this study was to perform IND-enabling translational studies on CTT1403 in rodent models.ProceduresA dose optimization study was performed in PC3-PIP (PSMA+) tumor-bearing mice. Treatment groups were randomly selected to receive one to three 14-MBq injections of CTT1403. Control groups included (1) saline, (2) non-radioactive [175Lu]CTT1403, or (3) two injections of 14 MBq CTT1751, a Lu-177-labeled non-targeted albumin-binding moiety. Tumor growth was monitored up to 120 days. Small-animal single photon emission tomography/X-ray computed tomography imaging was performed with CTT1403 and CTT1751 in PC3-PIP tumor-bearing mice to visualize infiltration of the Lu-177-labeled agent into the tumor. In preparation for a first-in-human study, human absorbed doses were estimated based on rat biodistribution out to 5 weeks to determine a safe CTT1403 therapy dose in humans.ResultsTwo to 3 injections of 14 MBq CTT1403 yielded significant tumor growth inhibition and increased survival compared with all control groups and mice receiving 1 injection of 14 MBq CTT1403. Five of 12 mice receiving 2 or 3 injections of CTT1403 survived to the 120-day post-treatment study endpoint. Dosimetry identified the kidneys as the dose-limiting organ, with an equivalent dose of 5.18 mSv/MBq, resulting in a planned maximum dose of 4.4 GBq for phase 1 clinical trials.ConclusionsThe preclinical efficacy and dosimetry of CTT1403 suggest that this agent has significant potential to be safe and effective in humans.
