Multimodal image-guided surgery of HER2-positive breast cancer using [¹¹¹In]In-DTPA-trastuzumab-IRDye800CW in an orthotopic breast tumor model.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Combining modalities using dual-labeled antibodies may allow preoperative and intraoperative tumor localization and could be used in image-guided surgery to improve complete tumor resection. Trastuzumab is a monoclonal antibody against the human epidermal growth factor-2 (HER2) receptor and dual-labeled trastuzumab with both a fluorophore (IRDye800CW) and a radioactive label (¹¹¹In) can be used for multimodal imaging of HER2-positive breast cancer. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the feasibility of HER2-targeted multimodal imaging using [¹¹¹In]In-DTPA-trastuzumab-IRDye800CW in an orthotopic breast cancer model.

Methods

Trastuzumab was conjugated with p-isothiocyanatobenzyl (ITC)-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) and IRDye800CW-NHS ester and subsequently labeled with ¹¹¹In. In a dose escalation study, the biodistribution of 10, 30, and 100??g [¹¹¹In]In-DTPA-trastuzumab-IRDye800CW was determined 48?h after injection in BALB/c nude mice with orthotopic high HER2-expressing tumors. Also, a biodistribution study was performed in a low HER2-expressing breast cancer model. In addition, multimodal image-guided surgery was performed in each group. Autoradiography, fluorescence microscopy, and immunohistochemically stained slices of the tumors were compared for co-localization of tumor tissue, HER2 expression, fluorescence, and radiosignal.

Results

Based on the biodistribution data, a 30??g dose of dual-labeled trastuzumab (tumor-to-blood ratio 13 ± 2) was chosen for all subsequent studies. [¹¹¹In]In-DTPA-trastuzumab-IRDye800CW specifically accumulated in orthotopic HER2-positive BT474 tumors (101 ± 7 %IA/g), whereas uptake in orthotopic low HER2-expressing MCF7 tumor was significantly lower (1.2 ± 0.2 %IA/g, p = 0.007). BT474 tumors could clearly be visualized with both micro-SPECT/CT, fluorescence imaging and subsequently, image-guided resection was performed. Immunohistochemical analyses of BT474 tumors demonstrated correspondence in fluorescence, radiosignal, and high HER2 expression.

Conclusions

Dual-labeled trastuzumab showed specific accumulation in orthotopic HER2-positive BT474 breast tumors with micro-SPECT/CT and fluorescence imaging and enabled image-guided tumor resection. In the clinical setting, [¹¹¹In]In-DTPA-trastuzumab-IRDye800CW could be valuable for preoperative detection of (metastatic) tumors by SPECT/CT imaging, and intraoperative localization by using a gamma probe and fluorescence image-guided surgery to improve radical resection of tumor tissue in patients with HER2-positive tumors.

Project description:Tumors over-expressing the human epithelial receptor 2 (HER2) or exhibiting amplification or mutation of its proto-oncogene have a poorer prognosis. Using trastuzumab and/or other HER2 targeted therapies can increase overall survival in patients with HER2(+) tumors making it critical to accurately identify patients who may benefit. We report on a Phase 0 study of the imaging agent, 111In-CHX-A"-DTPA trastuzumab, in patients with known HER2 status to evaluate its safety and biodistribution and to obtain preliminary data regarding its ability to provide an accurate, whole-body, non-invasive means to determine HER2 status. 111In-CHX-A"-DTPA trastuzumab was radiolabeled on-site and slowly infused into 11 patients who underwent single (n=5) or multiple (n=6) ɣ-camera (n=6) and/or SPECT (n=8) imaging sessions. No safety issues were identified. Visual and semi-quantitative imaging data were concordant with tissue HER2 expression profiling in all but 1 patient. The biodistribution showed intense peak liver activity at the initial imaging timepoint (3.3h) and a single-phase clearance fit of the average time-activity curve (TAC) estimated t1/2=46.9h (R2=0.97; 95%CI 41.8 to 53h). This was followed by high gastrointestinal (GI) tract activity peaking by 52h. Linear regression predicted GI clearance by 201.2h (R2 =0.96; 95%CI 188.5 to 216.9h). Blood pool had lower activity with its maximum on the initial images. Non-linear regression fit projected a t1/2=34.2h (R2 =0.96; 95%CI 25.3 to 46.3h). Assuming linear whole-body clearance, linear regression projected complete elimination (x-intercept) at 256.5hr (R2=0.96; 95%CI 186.1 to 489.2h). 111In-CHX-A"-DTPA trastuzumab can be safely imaged in humans. The biodistribution allowed for visual and semiquantitative analysis with results concordant with tissue expression profiling in 10 of 11 patients. Advances in Knowledge and Implications for Patient Care Using readily available components and on-site radiolabeling 111In-CHX-A"-DTPA trastuzumab SPECT imaging may provide an economical, non-invasive means to detect HER2 over-expression.

Project description:BackgroundDe novo or acquired resistance in breast cancer leads to treatment failures and disease progression. In human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive (HER2+) breast cancer, Src, a non-receptor tyrosine kinase, is identified as a major mechanism of trastuzumab resistance, with its activation stabilizing aberrant HER2 signaling, thus making it an attractive target for inhibition. Here, we explored the causal relationship between Src and HER2 by examining the potential of 89Zr-trastuzumab as a surrogate imaging marker of Src activity upon inhibition with dasatinib in HER2+ breast cancer.MethodsHER2+ primary breast cancer cell lines BT-474 and trastuzumab-resistant JIMT-1 were treated with dasatinib and assessed for expression and localization of HER2, Src, and phosphorylated Src (pSrc) (Y416) through western blots and binding assays. Mice bearing BT-474 or JIMT-1 tumors were treated for 7 or 14 days with dasatinib. At the end of each treatment, tumors were imaged with 89Zr-trastuzumab. The results of 89Zr-trastuzumab positron emission tomography (PET) was compared against tumor uptake of fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) obtained the day before in the same group of mice. Ex vivo western blots and immunohistochemical staining (IHC) were performed for validation.ResultsIn BT-474 and JIMT-1 cells, treatment with dasatinib resulted in a decrease in internalized 89Zr-trastuzumab. Confirmation with immunoblots displayed abrogation of pSrc (Y416) signaling; binding assays in both cell lines demonstrated a decrease in cell surface and internalized HER2-bound tracer. In xenograft models, dasatinib treatment for 7 days (BT-474, 11.05 ± 2.10 % injected dose per gram of tissue %(ID)/g; JIMT-1, 3.88 ± 1.47 %ID/g)) or 14 days (BT-474, 9.20 ± 1.85 %ID/g; JIMT-1, 4.45 ± 1.23 %ID/g) resulted in a significant decrease in 89Zr-trastuzumab uptake on PET compared to untreated control (BT-474, 17.88 ± 2.18 %ID/g; JIMT-1, 8.04 ± 1.47 %ID/g). No difference in 18F-FDG uptake was observed between control and treated cohorts. A parallel decrease in membranous HER2 and pSrc (Y416) staining was observed in tumors post treatment on IHC. Immunoblots further validated the 89Zr-trastuzumab-PET readout. Positive correlation was established between 89Zr-trastuzumab tumor uptake versus tumor regression, pSrc and pHER2 expression.Conclusions89Zr-trastuzumab can potentially assess tumor response to dasatinib in HER2+ breast cancer and could be used as a surrogate tool to monitor early changes in Src signaling downstream of HER2.

Project description:BackgroundTrastuzumab improves survival in the adjuvant treatment of HER-positive breast cancer, although combined therapy with anthracycline-based regimens has been associated with cardiac toxicity. We wanted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a new nonanthracycline regimen with trastuzumab.MethodsWe randomly assigned 3222 women with HER2-positive early-stage breast cancer to receive doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide followed by docetaxel every 3 weeks (AC-T), the same regimen plus 52 weeks of trastuzumab (AC-T plus trastuzumab), or docetaxel and carboplatin plus 52 weeks of trastuzumab (TCH). The primary study end point was disease-free survival. Secondary end points were overall survival and safety.ResultsAt a median follow-up of 65 months, 656 events triggered this protocol-specified analysis. The estimated disease-free survival rates at 5 years were 75% among patients receiving AC-T, 84% among those receiving AC-T plus trastuzumab, and 81% among those receiving TCH. Estimated rates of overall survival were 87%, 92%, and 91%, respectively. No significant differences in efficacy (disease-free or overall survival) were found between the two trastuzumab regimens, whereas both were superior to AC-T. The rates of congestive heart failure and cardiac dysfunction were significantly higher in the group receiving AC-T plus trastuzumab than in the TCH group (P<0.001). Eight cases of acute leukemia were reported: seven in the groups receiving the anthracycline-based regimens and one in the TCH group subsequent to receiving an anthracycline outside the study.ConclusionsThe addition of 1 year of adjuvant trastuzumab significantly improved disease-free and overall survival among women with HER2-positive breast cancer. The risk-benefit ratio favored the nonanthracycline TCH regimen over AC-T plus trastuzumab, given its similar efficacy, fewer acute toxic effects, and lower risks of cardiotoxicity and leukemia.

Project description:BackgroundTrastuzumab (Herceptin) has improved the outcome for patients with HER2-positive breast cancer (BC) but brain metastases (BM) remain a challenge due to poor uptake of trastuzumab into the brain. Radioimmunotherapy (RIT) with trastuzumab labeled with α-particle emitting, 225Ac may overcome this challenge by increasing the cytotoxic potency on HER2-positive BC cells. Our first aim was to synthesize and characterize [111In]In-DOTA-trastuzumab and [225Ac]Ac-DOTA-trastuzumab as a theranostic pair for imaging and RIT of HER2-positive BC, respectively. A second aim was to estimate the cellular dosimetry of [225Ac]Ac-DOTA-trastuzumab and determine its cytotoxicity in vitro on HER2-positive BC cells. A third aim was to study the tumour and normal tissue uptake of [225Ac]Ac-DOTA-trastuzumab using [111In]In-DOTA-trastuzumab as a radiotracer in vivo in NRG mice with s.c. 164/8-1B/H2N.luc+ human BC tumours that metastasize to the brain.ResultsTrastuzumab was conjugated to 12.7 ± 1.2 DOTA chelators and labeled with 111In or 225Ac. [111In]In-DOTA-trastuzumab exhibited high affinity specific binding to HER2-positive SK-BR-3 human BC cells (KD = 1.2 ± 0.3 × 10-8 mol/L). Treatment with [225Ac]Ac-DOTA-trastuzumab decreased the surviving fraction (SF) of SK-BR-3 cells dependent on the specific activity (SA) with SF < 0.001 at SA = 0.74 kBq/µg. No surviving colonies were noted at SA = 1.10 kBq/µg or 1.665 kBq/µg. Multiple DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) were detected in SK-BR-3 cells exposed to [225Ac]Ac-DOTA-trastuzumab by γ-H2AX immunofluorescence microscopy. The time-integrated activity of [111In]In-DOTA-trastuzumab in SK-BR-3 cells was measured and used to estimate the absorbed doses from [225Ac]Ac-DOTA-trastuzumab by Monte Carlo N-Particle simulation for correlation with the SF. The dose required to decrease the SF of SK-BR-3 cells to 0.10 (D10) was 1.10 Gy. Based on the D10 reported for γ-irradiation of SK-BR-3 cells, we estimate that the relative biological effectiveness of the α-particles emitted by 225Ac is 4.4. Biodistribution studies in NRG mice with s.c. 164/8-1B/H2N.luc+ human BC tumours at 48 h post-coinjection of [111In]In-DOTA-trastuzumab and [225Ac]Ac-DOTA-trastuzumab revealed HER2-specific tumour uptake (10.6 ± 0.6% ID/g) but spleen uptake was high (28.9 ± 7.4% ID/g). Tumours were well-visualized by SPECT/CT imaging using [111In]In-DOTA-trastuzumab.ConclusionWe conclude that [225Ac]Ac-DOTA-trastuzumab exhibited potent and HER2-specific cytotoxicity on SK-BR-3 cells in vitro and HER2-specific uptake in s.c. 164/8-1B/H2N.luc+ human BC tumours in NRG mice, and these tumours were imaged by SPECT/CT with [111In]In-DOTA-trastuzumab. These results are promising for combining [111In]In-DOTA-trastuzumab and [225Ac]Ac-DOTA-trastuzumab as a theranostic pair for imaging and RIT of HER2-positive BC.

Project description:Trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) is an antibody-drug conjugate incorporating the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-targeted antitumor properties of trastuzumab with the cytotoxic activity of the microtubule-inhibitory agent DM1. The antibody and the cytotoxic agent are conjugated by means of a stable linker.We randomly assigned patients with HER2-positive advanced breast cancer, who had previously been treated with trastuzumab and a taxane, to T-DM1 or lapatinib plus capecitabine. The primary end points were progression-free survival (as assessed by independent review), overall survival, and safety. Secondary end points included progression-free survival (investigator-assessed), the objective response rate, and the time to symptom progression. Two interim analyses of overall survival were conducted.Among 991 randomly assigned patients, median progression-free survival as assessed by independent review was 9.6 months with T-DM1 versus 6.4 months with lapatinib plus capecitabine (hazard ratio for progression or death from any cause, 0.65; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.55 to 0.77; P<0.001), and median overall survival at the second interim analysis crossed the stopping boundary for efficacy (30.9 months vs. 25.1 months; hazard ratio for death from any cause, 0.68; 95% CI, 0.55 to 0.85; P<0.001). The objective response rate was higher with T-DM1 (43.6%, vs. 30.8% with lapatinib plus capecitabine; P<0.001); results for all additional secondary end points favored T-DM1. Rates of grade 3 or 4 adverse events were higher with lapatinib plus capecitabine than with T-DM1 (57% vs. 41%). The incidences of thrombocytopenia and increased serum aminotransferase levels were higher with T-DM1, whereas the incidences of diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia were higher with lapatinib plus capecitabine.T-DM1 significantly prolonged progression-free and overall survival with less toxicity than lapatinib plus capecitabine in patients with HER2-positive advanced breast cancer previously treated with trastuzumab and a taxane.
