Potentiation of Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy by the PARP Inhibitor Olaparib.

ABSTRACT: Metastases expressing tumor-specific receptors can be targeted and treated by binding of radiolabeled peptides (peptide receptor radionuclide therapy or PRRT). For example, patients with metastasized somatostatin receptor-positive neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) can be treated with radiolabeled somatostatin analogues, resulting in strongly increased progression-free survival and quality of life. There is nevertheless still room for improvement, as very few patients can be cured at this stage of disease. We aimed to specifically sensitize replicating tumor cells without further damage to healthy tissues. Thereto we investigated the DNA damaging effects of PRRT with the purpose to enhance these effects through modulation of the DNA damage response. Although PRRT induces DNA double strand breaks (DSBs), a larger fraction of the induced lesions are single strand breaks (expected to be similar to those induced by external beam radiotherapy) that require poly-[ADP-ribose]-polymerase 1 (PARP-1) activity for repair. If these breaks cannot be repaired, they will cause replication fork arrest and DSB formation during replication. Therefore, we used the PARP-1 inhibitor Olaparib to increase the number of cytotoxic DSBs. Here we show that this new combination strategy synergistically sensitized somatostatin receptor expressing cells to PRRT. We observed increased cell death and reduced cellular proliferation compared to the PRRT alone. The enhanced cell death was caused by increased numbers of DSBs that are repaired with remarkably slow kinetics, leading to genome instability. Furthermore, we validated the increased DSB induction after PARP inhibitor addition in the clinically relevant model of living human NET slices. We expect that this combined regimen can thus augment current PRRT outcomes.

Project description:Pretherapy PET with 86Y-DOTATOC is considered the ideal dosimetry protocol for 90Y-DOTATOC therapy; however, its cost, limited availability, and need for infusion of amino acids to mimic the therapy administration limit its use in the clinical setting. The goal of this study was to develop a dosimetric method for 90Y-DOTATOC using 90Y-DOTATOC PET/CT and bremsstrahlung SPECT/CT and to determine whether dosimetry-based administered activities differ significantly from standard administered activities. Methods: This was a prospective phase 2 trial of 90Y-DOTATOC therapy in patients with somatostatin receptor-positive tumors. 90Y-DOTATOC was given in 3 cycles 6-8 wk apart. In the first cycle of therapy, adults received 4.4 GBq and children received 1.85 GBq/m2; the subsequent administered activities were adjusted according to the dosimetry of the preceding cycle so as not to exceed a total kidney dose of 23 Gy and bone marrow dose of 2 Gy. The radiation dose to the kidneys was determined from serial imaging sessions consisting of time-of-flight 90Y-DOTATOC PET/CT at 5 h after therapy and 90Y-DOTATOC bremsstrahlung SPECT/CT at 6, 24, 48, and 72 h. The PET/CT data were used to measure the absolute concentration of 90Y-DOTATOC and to calibrate the bremsstrahlung SPECT kidney clearance data. The radiation dose to the kidneys was determined by multiplying the time-integrated activity (from the fitted biexponential curve of renal clearance of 90Y-DOTATOC) with the energy emitted per decay, divided by the mass of the kidneys. Results: The radiation dose to the kidneys per cycle of 90Y-DOTATOC therapy was highly variable among patients, ranging from 0.32 to 3.0 mGy/MBq. In 17 (85%) of the 20 adult patients who received the second and the third treatment cycles of 90Y-DOTATOC, the administered activity was modified by at least 20% from the starting administered activity. Conclusion: Renal dosimetry of 90Y-DOTATOC is feasible using 90Y-DOTATOC time-of-flight PET/CT and bremsstrahlung SPECT/CT and has a significant impact on the administered activity in treatment cycles.
