Targeted Radionuclide Therapy: New Advances for Improvement of Patient Management and Response.

ABSTRACT: Compared to external beam radiotherapy, targeted radionuclide therapy (TRT) allows for systemic radiation treatment of metastatic lesions. Published work on recent strategies to improve patient management and response to TRT through individualising patient treatment, modifying treatment pharmacokinetics and increasing anticancer potency are discussed in this review, with a special focus on the application of clinically evaluated radiolabelled ligands and peptides in the treatment of neuroendocrine and prostate cancers.

Project description:PurposeThe folate receptor (FR) is frequently overexpressed in a variety of tumor types and, hence, an interesting target for radionuclide therapy. The aim of this study was to evaluate a new class of albumin-binding radioconjugates comprising 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) as a targeting agent and to compare their properties with those of the previously established folic acid-based [177Lu]Lu-OxFol-1.Methods[177Lu]Lu-6R-RedFol-1 and [177Lu]Lu-6S-RedFol-1 were investigated in vitro using FR-positive KB tumor cells. Biodistribution studies were performed in KB tumor-bearing mice, and the areas under the curve (AUC0 → 120h) were determined for the uptake in tumors and kidneys. [177Lu]Lu-6R-RedFol-1 was compared with [177Lu]Lu-OxFol-1 in a therapy study over 8 weeks using KB tumor-bearing mice.ResultsBoth radioconjugates demonstrated similar in vitro properties as [177Lu]Lu-OxFol-1; however, the tumor uptake of [177Lu]Lu-6R-RedFol-1 and [177Lu]Lu-6S-RedFol-1 was significantly increased in comparison with [177Lu]Lu-OxFol-1. In the case of [177Lu]Lu-6S-RedFol-1, also the kidney uptake was increased; however, renal retention of [177Lu]Lu-6R-RedFol-1 was similar to that of [177Lu]Lu-OxFol-1. This led to an almost 4-fold increased tumor-to-kidney AUC0 → 120h ratio of [177Lu]Lu-6R-RedFol-1 as compared with [177Lu]Lu-6S-RedFol-1 and [177Lu]Lu-OxFol-1. At equal activity, the therapeutic effect of [177Lu]Lu-6R-RedFol-1 was better than that of [177Lu]Lu-OxFol-1, reflected by a slower tumor growth and, consequently, an increased median survival time (49 days vs. 34 days).ConclusionThis study demonstrated the promising potential of 5-MTHF-based radioconjugates for FR-targeting. Application of [177Lu]Lu-6R-RedFol-1 resulted in unprecedentedly high tumor-to-kidney ratios and, as a consequence, a superior therapeutic effect as compared with [177Lu]Lu-OxFol-1. These findings, together with the absence of early side effects, make [177Lu]Lu-6R-RedFol-1 attractive in view of a future clinical translation.
