[⁶⁸Ga]/[¹⁸⁸Re] Complexed [CDTMP] Trans-1,2-Cyclohexyldinitrilotetraphosphonic Acid As a Theranostic Agent for Skeletal Metastases.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Metastasis of the osseous tissue is one of the frequent and severe aggravations as a result of several neoplastic conditions, such as metabolic disorders, infections, and cancer. The objective of this study was to evaluate the pertinence of [⁶⁸Ga]-trans-1,2-cyclohexyldinitrilo tetramethylene phosphonic acid (CDTMP) as a potential bone imaging agent for positron emission tomography (PET) applications as well as to assess [¹⁸⁸Re]-CDTMP for bone pain palliation in metastatic skeletal disorders.

Methods

⁶⁸Ga complex of CDTMP was prepared at 80°C at pH 3.5, and ¹⁸⁸Re complex of CDTMP was prepared at room temperature. [⁶⁸Ga]-CDTMP complex was investigated as PET tracer while the therapeutic efficacy was assessed for [¹⁸⁸Re]-CDTMP. Labeling efficiency, biodistribution, myelotoxicity, and imaging studies were carried out for the complexes synthesized. Both PET and MicroPET imaging studies were performed for [⁶⁸Ga]-CDTMP whereas SPECT acquisitions were acquired for [¹⁸⁸Re]-CDTMP. Data were analyzed semiquantitatively for all the scintigraphic scans obtained.

Results

The radiolabeling efficiency was observed to be >70% for [⁶⁸Ga]-CDTMP. High bone uptake of [⁶⁸Ga]-CDTMP as compared to contralateral tissue was found in PET imaging in Balb/C mice and New Zealand rabbit; the similar result for bone uptake was correlated in the biodistribution study of the compound in BALB/c mice at different time intervals. Biodistribution experiments carried out in mice showed maximum uptake of 6.12?±?1.22%ID/g at 45?min postinjection. For [¹⁸⁸Re]-CDTMP, total skeletal uptake was 8.12?±?1.11%ID/g observed at 1?h postinjection from biodistribution data. High renal uptake confirms renal route of excretion. A good hydroxyapatite binding too was seen for both the complexes. No evidence of destruction or adverse functioning of vital organs was observed for the ¹⁸⁸Re complex.

Conclusion

[⁶⁸Ga]-CDTMP complex can be used as a promising PET bone imaging agent and [¹⁸⁸Re]-CDTMP as a surrogate moiety for therapeutic application. Owing to the short half-life of ⁶⁸Ga (68?min), cyclotron-independent radiopharmacy, fast clearance, and rapid renal excretion as evidenced in preclinical animal models. Very low myelotoxicity and highly selective bone uptake prove the potential of [¹⁸⁸Re]-CDTMP for therapeutic application.

Project description:Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is a validated target for molecular diagnostics and targeted radionuclide therapy. Our purpose was to evaluate PSMA expression in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), and hepatic adenoma (HCA); investigate the genetic pathways in HCC associated with PSMA expression; and evaluate HCC detection rate with 68 Ga-PSMA-11 positron emission tomography (PET). In phase 1, PSMA immunohistochemistry (IHC) on HCC (n = 148), CCA (n = 111), and HCA (n = 78) was scored. In a subset (n = 30), messenger RNA (mRNA) data from the Cancer Genome Atlas HCC RNA sequencing were correlated with PSMA expression. In phase 2, 68 Ga-PSMA-11 PET was prospectively performed in patients with treatment-naïve HCC on a digital PET scanner using cyclotron-produced 68 Ga. Uptake was graded qualitatively and semi-quantitatively using standard metrics. On IHC, PSMA expression was significantly higher in HCC compared with CCA and HCA (P < 0.0001); 91% of HCCs (n = 134) expressed PSMA, which principally localized to tumor-associated neovasculature. Higher tumor grade was associated with PSMA expression (P = 0.012) but there was no association with tumor size (P = 0.14), fibrosis (P = 0.35), cirrhosis (P = 0.74), hepatitis B virus (P = 0.31), or hepatitis C virus (P = 0.15). Overall survival tended to be longer in patients without versus with PSMA expression (median overall survival: 4.2 vs. 1.9 years; P = 0.273). FGF14 (fibroblast growth factor 14) mRNA expression correlated positively (rho = 0.70; P = 1.70 × 10-5 ) and MAD1L1 (Mitotic spindle assembly checkpoint protein MAD1) correlated negatively with PSMA expression (rho = -0.753; P = 1.58 × 10-6 ). Of the 190 patients who met the eligibility criteria, 31 patients with 39 HCC lesions completed PET; 64% (n = 25) lesions had pronounced 68 Ga-PSMA-11 standardized uptake value: SUVmax (median [range] 9.2 [4.9-28.4]), SUVmean 4.7 (2.4-12.7), and tumor-to-liver background ratio 2 (1.1-11). Conclusion: Ex vivo expression of PSMA in neovasculature of HCC translates to marked tumor avidity on 68 Ga-PSMA-11 PET, which suggests that PSMA has the potential as a theranostic target in patients with HCC.

Project description:Objectives68Ga-P15-041 (68Ga-HBED-CC-BP) is a novel bone-seeking PET radiotracer, which can be readily prepared by using a simple kit formulation and an in-house 68Ga/68Ge generator. The aim of this study is to assess the potential human application of 68Ga-P15-041 for clinical PET/CT imaging and to compare its efficacy to detect bone metastases of different cancers with 99mTc-MDP whole-body bone scintigraphy (WBBS).MethodsInitial kinetic study using Patlak analysis and parametric maps were performed in five histopathologically proven cancer patients (three males, two females) using 68Ga-P15-041 PET/CT scan only. Another group of 51 histopathologically proven cancer patients (22 males, 29 females) underwent both 99mTc-MDP WBBS and 68Ga-P15-041 PET/CT scans within a week, sequentially. Using either pathology examination or follow-up CT or MRI scans as the gold standard, the diagnostic efficacy and receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) of the two methods in identifying bone metastases were compared (p <0.05, statistically significant).ResultsFifty-one patients were imaged, and 174 bone metastatic sites were identified. 68Ga-P15-041 PET/CT and 99mTc-MDP WBBS detected 162 and 81 metastases, respectively. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy of 68Ga-P15-041 PET/CT and 99mTc-MDP WBBS were 93.1% vs 81.8%, 89.8% vs 90.7%, 77.5% vs 69.2%, 97.2% vs 93.4% and 90.7% vs 88.4%, respectively. Our results showed that the mean of SUVmax was significantly higher in metastases than that in benign lesions, 15.1 ± 6.9 vs. 5.6 ± 1.3 (P <0.001). Using SUVmax = 7.6 as the cut-off value by PET/CT, it was possible to predict the occurrence of metastases (AUC = 0.976; P <0.001; 95% CI: 0.946-0.999). However, it was impossible to distinguish osteoblastic bone metastases from osteolytic bone lesions. Parametric maps based on Patlak analysis provided excellent images and highly valuable quantitative information.Conclusions68Ga-P15-041 PET/CT, offering a rapid bone scan and high contrast images in minutes, is superior to the current method of choice in detecting bone metastases. It is reasonable to suggest that 68Ga-P15-041 PET/CT could become a valuable routine nuclear medicine procedure in providing excellent images for detecting bone metastases in cancer patients. 68Ga-P15-041 could become a valuable addition expanding the collection of 68Ga-based routine nuclear medicine procedures where 18F fluoride is not currently available.

Project description:IntroductionThe yield per elution of a 68Ge/68Ga generator decreases during its lifespan. This affects the number of patients injected per elution or the injected dose per patient, thereby negatively affecting the cost of examinations and the quality of PET images due to increased image noise. We aimed to investigate whether AI-based PET denoising can offset this decrease in image quality parameters.MethodsAll patients addressed to our PET unit for a 68Ga-DOTATOC PET/CT from April 2020 to February 2021 were enrolled. Forty-four patients underwent their PET scans according to Protocol_FixedDose (150 MBq) and 32 according to Protocol_WeightDose (1.5 MBq/kg). Protocol_WeightDose examinations were processed using the Subtle PET software (Protocol_WeightDoseAI). Liver and vascular SUV mean were recorded as well as SUVmax, SUVmean and metabolic tumour volume (MTV) of the most intense tumoural lesion and its background SUVmean. Liver and vascular coefficients of variation (CV), tumour-to-background and tumour-to-liver ratios were calculated.ResultsThe mean injected dose of 2.1 (0.4) MBq/kg per patient was significantly higher in the Protocol_FixedDose group as compared to 1.5 (0.1) MBq/kg for the Protocol_WeightDose group. Protocol_WeightDose led to noisier images than Protocol_FixedDose with higher CVs for liver (15.57% ± 4.32 vs. 13.04% ± 3.51, p = 0.018) and blood-pool (28.67% ± 8.65 vs. 22.25% ± 10.37, p = 0.0003). Protocol_WeightDoseAI led to less noisy images than Protocol_WeightDose with lower liver CVs (11.42% ± 3.05 vs. 15.57% ± 4.32, p < 0.0001) and vascular CVs (16.62% ± 6.40 vs. 28.67% ± 8.65, p < 0.0001). Tumour-to-background and tumour-to-liver ratios were lower for protocol_WeightDoseAI: 6.78 ± 3.49 vs. 7.57 ± 4.73 (p = 0.01) and 5.96 ± 5.43 vs. 6.77 ± 6.19 (p < 0.0001), respectively. MTVs were higher after denoising whereas tumour SUVmax were lower: the mean% differences in MTV and SUVmax were + 11.14% (95% CI = 4.84-17.43) and -3.92% (95% CI = -6.25 to -1.59).ConclusionThe degradation of PET image quality due to a reduction in injected dose at the end of the 68Ge/68Ga generator lifespan can be effectively counterbalanced by using AI-based PET denoising.

Project description:PurposeThe widespread use of 68Ga for positron emission tomography (PET) relies on the development of radiopharmaceutical precursors that can be radiolabelled and dispensed in a simple, quick, and convenient manner. The DATA (6-amino-1,4-diazapine-triacetate) scaffold represents a novel hybrid chelator architecture possessing both cyclic and acyclic character that may allow for facile access to 68Ga-labelled tracers in the clinic. We report the first bifunctional DATA chelator conjugated to [Tyr3]octreotide (TOC), a somatostatin subtype 2 receptor (SST2)-targeting vector for imaging and functional characterisation of SSTR2 expressing tumours.MethodsThe radiopharmaceutical precursor, DATA-TOC, was synthesised as previously described and used to complex natGa(III) and 68Ga(III). Competition binding assays of [natGa]Ga-DATA-TOC or [natGa]Ga-DOTA-TOC against [125I-Tyr25]LTT-SS28 were conducted in membranes of HEK293 cells transfected to stably express one of the hSST2,3,5 receptor subtypes (HEK293-hSST2/3/5 cells). First in vivo studies were performed in female NMRI-nude mice bearing SST2-positive mouse phaeochromocytoma mCherry (MPC-mCherry) tumours to compare the in vivo SST2-specific tumour-targeting of [68Ga]Ga-DATA-TOC and its overall pharmacokinetics versus the [68Ga]Ga-DOTA-TOC reference. A direct comparison of [68Ga]Ga-DATA-TOC with the well-established PET radiotracer [68Ga]Ga-DOTA-TOC was additionally performed in a 46-year-old male patient with a well-differentiated NET (neuroendocrine tumour), representing the first in human administration of [68Ga]Ga-DATA-TOC.ResultsDATA-TOC was labelled with 68Ga with a radiolabelling efficiency of > 95% in less than 10 min at ambient temperature. A molar activity up to 35 MBq/nmol was achieved. The hSST2-affinities of [natGa]Ga-DATA-TOC and [natGa]Ga-DOTA-TOC were found similar with only sub-nanomolar differences in the respective IC50 values. In mice, [68Ga]Ga-DATA-TOC was able to visualise the tumour lesions, showing standardised uptake values (SUVs) similar to [68Ga]Ga-DOTA-TOC. Direct comparison of the two PET tracers in a NET patient revealed very similar tumour uptake for the two 68Ga-radiotracers, but with a higher tumour-to-liver contrast for [68Ga]Ga-DATA-TOC.Conclusion[68Ga]Ga-DATA-TOC was prepared, to a quality appropriate for in vivo use, following a highly efficient kit type process. Furthermore, the novel radiopharmaceutical was comparable or better than [68Ga]Ga-DOTA-TOC in all preclinical tests, achieving a higher tumour-to-liver contrast in a NET-patient. The results illustrate the potential of the DATA-chelator to facilitate the access to and preparation of 68Ga-radiotracers in a routine clinical radiopharmacy setting.

Project description:PurposeWe aimed to compare the diagnostic performance and biodistribution of two similar PET agents, [68Ga]Ga-P16-093 and [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11, in the same group of primary prostate cancer (PCa) patients.MethodsFifty patients with untreated, histologically confirmed PCa by needle biopsy were enrolled. Each patient underwent [68Ga]Ga-P16-093 and [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT within a week. In addition to visual analysis, the standardized uptake value (SUV) was measured for semiquantitative comparison and correlation analysis.Results[68Ga]Ga-P16-093 PET/CT detected more positive tumors than [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT (202 vs. 190, P = 0.002), both for intraprostatic lesions (48 vs. 41, P = 0.016) and metastatic lesions (154 vs. 149, P = 0.125), especially for intraprostatic lesions in low- and intermediate-risk PCa patients (21/23 vs. 15/23, P = 0.031). Furthermore, [68Ga]Ga-P16-093 PET/CT exhibited a significantly higher SUVmax for most matched tumors (13.7 ± 10.2 vs. 11.4 ± 8.3, P < 0.001). For normal organs, [68Ga]Ga-P16-093 PET/CT showed significantly lower activity in the kidney (SUVmean: 20.1 ± 6.1 vs. 29.3 ± 9.1, P < 0.001) and urinary bladder (SUVmean: 6.5 ± 7.1 vs. 20.9 ± 17.4, P < 0.001), but displayed a higher uptake in the parotid gland (SUVmean: 8.7 ± 2.6 vs. 7.6 ± 2.1, P < 0.001), liver (SUVmean: 7.0 ± 1.9 vs. 3.7 ± 1.3, P < 0.001), and spleen (SUVmean: 8.2 ± 3.0 vs. 5.2 ± 2.2, P < 0.001) than [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT.Conclusion[68Ga]Ga-P16-093 PET/CT demonstrated higher tumor uptake and better tumor detectability than [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT, especially in low- and intermediate-risk PCa patients, which indicated that [68Ga]Ga-P16-093 may serve as an alternative agent for detection of PCa.Trial registration68Ga-P16-093 and 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT Imaging in the Same Group of Primary Prostate Cancer Patients (NCT05324332, Registered 12 April 2022, retrospectively registered).

Project description:Bone and soft-tissue sarcomas express fibroblast activation protein (FAP) on tumor cells and associated fibroblasts. Therefore, FAP is a promising therapeutic and diagnostic target. Novel radiolabeled FAP inhibitors (e.g., 68Ga-FAPI-46) have shown high tumor uptake on PET in sarcoma patients. Here, we report the endpoints of the 68Ga-FAPI PET prospective observational trial. Methods: Forty-seven patients with bone or soft-tissue sarcomas undergoing clinical 68Ga-FAPI PET were eligible for enrollment into the 68Ga-FAPI PET observational trial. Of these patients, 43 also underwent 18F-FDG PET. The primary study endpoint was the association between 68Ga-FAPI PET uptake intensity and histopathologic FAP expression analyzed with Spearman r correlation. Secondary endpoints were detection rate, positive predictive value (PPV), interreader reproducibility, and change in management. Datasets were interpreted by 2 masked readers. Results: The primary endpoint was met, and the association between 68Ga-FAPI PET uptake intensity and histopathologic FAP expression was significant (Spearman r = 0.43; P = 0.03). By histopathologic validation, PPV was 1.00 (95% CI, 0.87-1.00) on a per-patient and 0.97 (95% CI, 0.84-1.00) on a per-region basis. In cases with histopathologic validation, 27 of 28 (96%) confirmed patients and 32 of 34 (94%) confirmed regions were PET-positive, resulting in an SE of 0.96 (95% CI, 0.82-1.00) on a per-patient and 0.94 (95% CI, 0.80-0.99) on a per-region basis. The detection rate on a per-patient basis in 68Ga-FAPI and 18F-FDG PET was 76.6% and 81.4%, respectively. In 8 (18.6%) patients, 68Ga-FAPI PET resulted in an upstaging compared with 18F-FDG PET. 68Ga-FAPI PET readers showed substantial to almost perfect agreement for the defined regions (Fleiss κ: primary κ = 0.78, local nodal κ = 0.54, distant nodal κ = 0.91, lung κ = 0.86, bone κ = 0.69, and other κ = 0.65). Clinical management changed in 13 (30%) patients after 68Ga-FAPI PET. Conclusion: We confirm an association between tumoral 68Ga-FAPI PET uptake intensity and histopathologic FAP expression in sarcoma patients. Further, with masked readings and independent histopathologic validation, 68Ga-FAPI PET had a high PPV and sensitivity for sarcoma staging.
