CLR 125 Auger Electrons for the Targeted Radiotherapy of Triple-Negative Breast Cancer.

ABSTRACT: PURPOSE:Auger electrons emitted by radioisotopes such as 125I have a high linear energy transfer and short mean-free path in tissue (<10??m), making them suitable for treating micrometastases while sparing normal tissues. The authors developed and subsequently investigated a cancer cell-selective small molecule phospholipid ether analog to deliver 125I to triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells in vivo. METHODS:A Current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) method to radiolabel 125I-CLR1404 (CLR 125) with >95% radiochemical purity was established. To estimate CLR 125 in vivo dosimetry and identify dose-limiting organs, the biodistribution of the analog compound 124I-CLR1404 (CLR 124) was investigated using micro-positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) in conjunction with a Monte Carlo dosimetry platform to estimate CLR 125 dosimetry. In vivo antitumor efficacy was tested by injecting nude mice bearing either MDA-MB-231-luc orthotopic xenografts or lung metastases with 74?MBq (3.7 GBq/kg) of CLR 125 or an equivalent mass amount of nonradiolabeled CLR 125. Longitudinal tumor measurements using calipers and bioluminescence imaging were obtained for the xenografts and lung metastases, respectively. RESULTS:Dosimetry analysis estimated that CLR 125 would impart the largest absorbed dose to the tumor per injected activity (0.261?±?0.023 Gy/MBq) while the bone marrow, which is generally the dose-limiting organ for CLR1404, appears to have the lowest (0.063?±?0.005 Gy/MBq). At administered activities of up to 74?MBq (3.7 GBq/kg), mice did not experience signs of toxicity. In addition, a single dose of CLR 125 reduced the volume of orthotopic primary TNBC xenografts by ?60% compared to control vehicle (p?

Project description:BackgroundTriple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) lacks biomarkers for targeted therapy. Auger emitters display the best therapeutic effect, if delivered directly into the nucleus proximal to DNA. The nuclear protein Poly (ADP-ribose)-Polymerase 1 (PARP1) is a suitable target against which few inhibitors (PARPi) are clinically approved for treatment of breast cancer with germline BRCA mutation (BRCAmut). In this study, a theranostic approach was investigated in a TNBC xenografted mouse model by radiolabelling a close derivative of a PARPi Olaparib (termed PARPi-01) with the Auger emitters 123/125I.MethodsTNBC cell line MDA-MB-231 was subcutaneously implanted in female NOD/SCID mice. At a tumour size of ~ 500mm3, [123I]PARPi-01 was administered intravenously, and SPECT/CT images were obtained at 4 h or 24 h post injection (p.i). A therapy study was performed with [125I]PARPi-01 in 4 doses (10 MBq/dose, 10 days apart). Tumour growth was monitored by CT scans longitudinally once per week. Upon reaching study endpoint, tissues were harvested and stained with TUNEL assay for detection of apoptosis induction.ResultsSPECT/CT images showed rapid hepatobiliary tracer clearance at 4 h post injection (p.i.). Retention in thyroid at 24 h p.i. suggested tracer deiodination in vivo. The tumour and liver uptake were 0.2%ID/g and 2.5%ID/g, respectively. The tumour: blood ratio was 1.3. Endogenous therapy induced a significant delay in tumour growth (doubling time increased from 8.3 to 14.2 days), but no significant survival advantage. Significantly higher apoptosis ratio was observed in [125I]PARPi-01 treated tumour tissues. No radiotoxicity was detected in the liver and thyroid.ConclusionConsidering the radio-cytotoxic effect in the tumour tissue and a delay on tumour doubling time, [125I]PARPi-01 presents a potential radiotherapeutics for treatment of TNBC. Improvements to overcome the suboptimal pharmacokinetics are necessary for its potential clinical application.

Project description:IntroductionCLR1404 is a theranostic molecular agent that can be radiolabeled with 124I (CLR 124) for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging, or 131I (CLR 131) for single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging and targeted radionuclide therapy. This pilot study evaluated a pretreatment dosimetry methodology in a triple-negative breast cancer patient who was uniquely enrolled in both a CLR 124 PET imaging clinical trial and a CLR 131 therapeutic dose escalation clinical trial.Materials and methodsThree-dimensional PET/CT images were acquired at 1, 3, 24, 48, and 120 h postinjection of 178 MBq CLR 124. One month later, pretherapy 2D whole-body planar images were acquired at 0.25, 5, 24, 48, and 144 h postinjection of 370 MBq CLR 131. Following the therapeutic administration of 1990 MBq CLR 131, 3D SPECT/CT images were acquired at 74, 147, 334, and 505 h postinjection. The therapeutic CLR 131 voxel-level absorbed dose was estimated from PET (RAPID PET) and SPECT (RAPID SPECT) images using a Geant4-based Monte Carlo dosimetry platform called RAPID (Radiopharmaceutical Assessment Platform for Internal Dosimetry), and region of interest (ROI) mean doses were also estimated using the OLINDA/EXM software based on PET (OLINDA PET), SPECT (OLINDA SPECT), and planar (OLINDA planar) images.ResultsThe RAPID PET and OLINDA PET tracer-predicted ROI mean doses correlated well (m ≥ 0.631, R2 ≥ 0.694, p ≤ 0.01) with both the RAPID SPECT and OLINDA SPECT therapeutic mean doses. The 2D planar images did not have any significant correlations. The ROI mean doses differed by -4% to -43% between RAPID and OLINDA/EXM, and by -19% to 29% between PET and SPECT. The 3D dose distributions and dose volume histograms calculated with RAPID were similar for the PET/CT and SPECT/CT.ConclusionsThis pilot study demonstrated that CLR 124 pretreatment PET images can be used to predict CLR 131 3D therapeutic dosimetry better than CLR 131 2D planar images. In addition, unlike OLINDA/EXM, Monte Carlo dosimetry methods were capable of accurately predicting dose heterogeneity, which is important for predicting dose-response relationships and clinical outcomes.
