[68Ga]Pentixafor-PET/CT for imaging of chemokine receptor CXCR4 expression in multiple myeloma - Comparison to [18F]FDG and laboratory values.

ABSTRACT: Chemokine (C-X-C motif) receptor 4 (CXCR4) is a key factor for tumor growth and metastasis in several types of human cancer including multiple myeloma (MM). Proof-of-concept of CXCR4-directed radionuclide therapy in MM has recently been reported. This study assessed the diagnostic performance of the CXCR4-directed radiotracer [68Ga]Pentixafor in MM and a potential role for stratifying patients to CXCR4-directed therapies. Thirty-five patients with MM underwent [68Ga]Pentixafor-PET/CT for evaluation of eligibility for endoradiotherapy. In 19/35 cases, [18F]FDG-PET/CT for correlation was available. Scans were compared on a patient and on a lesion basis. Tracer uptake was correlated with standard clinical parameters of disease activity. [68Ga]Pentixafor-PET detected CXCR4-positive disease in 23/35 subjects (66%). CXCR4-positivity at PET was independent from myeloma subtypes, cytogenetics or any serological parameters and turned out as a negative prognostic factor. In the 19 patients in whom a comparison to [18F]FDG was available, [68Ga]Pentixafor-PET detected more lesions in 4/19 (21%) subjects, [18F]FDG proved superior in 7/19 (37%). In the remaining 8/19 (42%) patients, both tracers detected an equal number of lesions. [18F]FDG-PET positivity correlated with [68Ga]Pentixafor-PET positivity (p=0.018). [68Ga]Pentixafor-PET provides further evidence that CXCR4 expression frequently occurs in advanced multiple myeloma, representing a negative prognostic factor and a potential target for myeloma specific treatment. However, selecting patients for CXCR4 directed therapies and prognostic stratification seem to be more relevant clinical applications for this novel imaging modality, rather than diagnostic imaging of myeloma.

Project description:Purpose Fluorine-18 (18F)-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) and gallium-68 (68Ga)-somatostatin analog (SSA) PET/CT imaging have been increasingly used in ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone syndrome (EAS); however, the diagnostic efficacies of these two methods in patients with EAS remain unclear. Our study aimed to compare the diagnostic efficacies of 18F-FDG PET/CT and 68Ga-DOTANOC PET/CT in EAS. Methods The clinical and imaging data of 68 patients with EAS who underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT and 68Ga-DOTANOC PET/CT examinations from December 2016 to April 2021 were analyzed retrospectively, and the diagnostic efficacies of these methods were compared. Results In 37 cases, imaging was performed to locate the primary tumor lesion (localization group), and in 31 to evaluate tumor load or metastasis (staging group). Primary tumors were detected in 48.65% (18/37) of the localization group patients. According to scan-based analysis, the tumor lesion detection rates and false positive rates of 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging and 68Ga-DOTANOC PET/CT imaging were 18.92% vs. 45.95% (p < 0.05) and 21.62% vs. 2.70% (p < 0.05) respectively. For lesion-based analysis, the tumor lesion detection rates and false positive rates were 24.13% vs. 58.62% (p >0.05) and 31.04% vs. 3.45% (p < 0.05). In 90.32% (28/31) of the staging group patients, 286 of 292 lesions were confirmed as tumor lesions. Based on scan analysis, the detection rates and false positive rates of 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging and 68Ga-DOTANOC PET/CT imaging were 83.87% vs. 67.74% (p > 0.05) and 12.90% vs. 9.68% (p > 0.05) respectively. Based on lesion analysis, the detection rate and false positive rates were 93.84% vs. 54.80% (p < 0.05) and 1.37% vs. 1.03%(p > 0.05). Conclusion 68Ga-DOTANOC PET/CT imaging may be more suitable than 18F-FDG PET/CT for identifying the primary tumor in patients with EAS, while 18F-FDG PET/CT may be more advantageous than 68Ga-DOTANOC PET/CT for patients with suspected metastasis.

Project description:BACKGROUND:To identify whether early metabolic responses as determined using 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG PET/CT) during radiotherapy (RT) predict outcomes in patients with esophageal cancer. METHODS:Twenty-one patients with esophageal cancer who received pre-treatment 18F-FDG PET/CT (PET1) and inter-fractional 18F-FDG PET/CT (PET2) after 11 fractions of RT (median 23.1?Gy, 2.1?Gy per fraction) were retrospectively reviewed. The region of interest for each calculation was delineated using "PET Edge". We calculated PET parameters including maximum and mean standardized uptake values (SUVmax and SUVmean, respectively), metabolic tumor volume (MTV), and total lesion glycolysis (TLG). The relative changes (%) were calculated using the logarithmically transformed parameter values for the PET1 and PET2 scans. Multivariate analysis of locoregional recurrence and distant failures were performed using Cox regression analysis. After identifying statistically significant PET parameters for discriminating responders from non-responders, receiver operating characteristics curve analyses were used to assess the potentials of the studied PET parameters. RESULTS:After a median follow-up of 13?months, the 1-year overall and progression-free survival rates were 79.0% and 34.4%, respectively. Four patients developed locoregional recurrences (LRRs) and 8 had distant metastases (DMs). The 1-year overall LRR-free rate was 76.9% while the DM-free rate was 60.6%. The relative changes in MTV (?MTV) were significantly associated with LRR (p =?0.03). Conversely, the relative changes in SUVmean (?SUVmean) were associated with the risk of DM (p =?0.02). An ?MTV threshold of 1.14 yielded a sensitivity of 60%, specificity of 94%, and an accuracy of 86% for predicting an LRR. Additionally, a ?SUVmean threshold of a 35% decrease yielded a sensitivity of 67%, specificity of 83%, and accuracy of 76% for the prediction DM. TRIAL REGISTRATION:Retrospectively registered. CONCLUSIONS:Changes in tumor metabolism during RT could be used to predict treatment responses, recurrences, and prognoses in patients with esophageal cancer.

Project description:Purpose:In the present study, we aimed to investigate whether the metabolic parameters on baseline 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) could be used to predict prognosis in peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCL). Methods:A total of 51 nodal PTCL patients who underwent baseline 18F-FDG PET/CT were retrospectively evaluated in the present study. Total metabolic tumor volume (TMTV), total lesion glycolysis (TLG), and maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) were also assessed. Besides, the National Comprehensive Cancer Network International Prognostic Index (NCCN-IPI) was also included. Log-rank test and Cox regression analysis were used to evaluate progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Results:The median follow-up was 18 months. Patients with low TLG, TMTV, and SUVmax levels had a significantly better clinical outcome than those with high TLG, TMTV, and SUVmax levels. The 2-year PFS rates of the high- and low-TMTV groups were 34.62% and 80%, respectively (p < 0.001), whereas the corresponding 2-year OS rates were 46.15% and 84.00%, respectively (p < 0.001), whereas the corresponding 2-year OS rates were 46.15% and 84.00%, respectively (p < 0.001), whereas the corresponding 2-year OS rates were 46.15% and 84.00%, respectively (p < 0.001), whereas the corresponding 2-year OS rates were 46.15% and 84.00%, respectively (p < 0.001), whereas the corresponding 2-year OS rates were 46.15% and 84.00%, respectively (p < 0.001), whereas the corresponding 2-year OS rates were 46.15% and 84.00%, respectively (p < 0.001), whereas the corresponding 2-year OS rates were 46.15% and 84.00%, respectively (p < 0.001), whereas the corresponding 2-year OS rates were 46.15% and 84.00%, respectively (p < 0.001), whereas the corresponding 2-year OS rates were 46.15% and 84.00%, respectively (p < 0.001), whereas the corresponding 2-year OS rates were 46.15% and 84.00%, respectively (p < 0.001), whereas the corresponding 2-year OS rates were 46.15% and 84.00%, respectively (p < 0.001), whereas the corresponding 2-year OS rates were 46.15% and 84.00%, respectively (n = 10), intermediate-risk group with TMTV > 62.405 or NCCN-IPI score of 4-8 (2-year PFS and OS were 52.4% and 66.7%, respectively, n = 10), intermediate-risk group with TMTV > 62.405 or NCCN-IPI score of 4-8 (2-year PFS and OS were 52.4% and 66.7%, respectively, n = 10), intermediate-risk group with TMTV > 62.405 or NCCN-IPI score of 4-8 (2-year PFS and OS were 52.4% and 66.7%, respectively. Conclusions:Baseline TMTV and TLG were independent predictors of PFS and OS in PTCL patients, and SUVmax and NCCN-IPI scores were also independent predictors of OS. Moreover, the combination of TMTV and NCCN-IPI scores improved patient risk-stratification at the initial stage and might contribute to the adjustment of the therapeutic regime. This trial is registered with ChiCTR1900025526.
