Biodistribution and Radiation Dosimetry of 18F-FTC-146 in Humans.

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to assess safety, biodistribution, and radiation dosimetry in humans for the highly selective ?-1 receptor PET agent 18F-6-(3-fluoropropyl)-3-(2-(azepan-1-yl)ethyl)benzo[d]thiazol-2(3H)-one (18F-FTC-146). Methods: Ten healthy volunteers (5 women, 5 men; age ± SD, 34.3 ± 6.5 y) were recruited, and written informed consent was obtained from all participants. Series of whole-body PET/MRI examinations were acquired for up to 3 h after injection (357.2 ± 48.8 MBq). Blood samples were collected, and standard vital signs (heart rate, pulse oximetry, and body temperature) were monitored at regular intervals. Regions of interest were delineated, time-activity curves were calculated, and organ uptake and dosimetry were estimated. Results: All subjects tolerated the PET/MRI examination well, and no adverse reactions to 18F-FTC-146 were reported. High accumulation of 18F-FTC-146 was observed in ?-1 receptor-dense organs such as the pancreas and spleen, moderate uptake in the brain and myocardium, and low uptake in bone and muscle. High uptake was also observed in the kidneys and bladder, indicating renal tracer clearance. The effective dose of 18F-FTC-146 was 0.0259 ± 0.0034 mSv/MBq (range, 0.0215-0.0301 mSv/MBq). Conclusion: First-in-human studies with clinical-grade 18F-FTC-146 were successful. Injection of 18F-FTC-146 is safe, and absorbed doses are acceptable. The potential of 18F-FTC-146 as an imaging agent for a variety of neuroinflammatory diseases is currently under investigation.

Project description:Purpose[18F]3F4AP is a novel PET radiotracer that targets voltage-gated potassium (K+) channels and has shown promise for imaging demyelinated lesions in animal models of neurological diseases. This study aimed to evaluate the biodistribution, safety, and radiation dosimetry of [18F]3F4AP in healthy human volunteers.MethodsFour healthy volunteers (2 females) underwent a 4-h dynamic PET scan from the cranial vertex to mid-thigh using multiple bed positions after administration of 368 ± 17.9 MBq (9.94 ± 0.48 mCi) of [18F]3F4AP. Volumes of interest for relevant organs were manually drawn guided by the CT, and PET images and time-activity curves (TACs) were extracted. Radiation dosimetry was estimated from the integrated TACs using OLINDA software. Safety assessments included measuring vital signs immediately before and after the scan, monitoring for adverse events, and obtaining a comprehensive metabolic panel and electrocardiogram within 30 days before and after the scan.Results[18F]3F4AP distributed throughout the body with the highest levels of activity in the kidneys, urinary bladder, stomach, liver, spleen, and brain and with low accumulation in muscle and fat. The tracer cleared quickly from circulation and from most organs. The clearance of the tracer was noticeably faster than previously reported in nonhuman primates (NHPs). The average effective dose (ED) across all subjects was 12.1 ± 2.2 μSv/MBq, which is lower than the estimated ED from the NHP studies (21.6 ± 0.6 μSv/MBq) as well as the ED of other fluorine-18 radiotracers such as [18F]FDG (~ 20 μSv/MBq). No differences in ED between males and females were observed. No substantial changes in safety assessments or adverse events were recorded.ConclusionThe biodistribution and radiation dosimetry of [18F]3F4AP in humans are reported for the first time. The average total ED across four subjects was lower than most 18F-labeled PET tracers. The tracer and study procedures were well tolerated, and no adverse events occurred.

Project description:BackgroundRadiohybrid prostate-specific membrane antigen (rhPSMA) ligands such as 18F-rhPSMA-7 are a new class of theranostic agents in clinical development for prostate cancer. We compared preclinical dosimetry and human biodistribution of 18F-rhPSMA-7 with that of single diastereoisomer form, 18F-rhPSMA-7.3.MethodsPreclinical dosimetry was performed with SCID-mice sacrificed at multiple timepoints (10-300 min) post-injection of 25.6 ± 3.6 MBq 18F-rhPSMA-7 or 28.5 ± 4.8 MBq 18F-rhPSMA-7.3 (n = 3-6 mice per timepoint). Heart, lung, liver, spleen, pancreas, fat, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, kidney, muscle, bone, bladder, testicles, tail, and brain tissue were harvested, and urine and blood samples collected. Percentage of injected dose per gram was calculated. Absorbed doses were estimated with OLINDA/EXM 1.0. 18F-rhPSMA-7 (n = 47) and 18F-rhPSMA-7.3 (n = 33) PET/CT exams were used to estimate human biodistribution. Mean (range) injected activities were 324 (236-424) MBq versus 345 (235-420) MBq, and acquisition times were 84 (42-166) versus 76 (59-122) minutes for 18F-rhPSMA-7 versus 18F-rhPSMA-7.3, respectively. SUVmean was determined for background (gluteal muscle), normal organs (salivary glands, blood pool, lung, liver, spleen, pancreas, duodenum, kidney, bladder, bone) and up to three representative tumour lesions. Qualitative analyses assessed image quality, non-specific blood pool activity, and background uptake in bone/marrow using 3/4-point scales.ResultsPreclinical dosimetry revealed that at 3.5 h and 1 h bladder voiding intervals, the extrapolated total effective doses were 26.6 and 12.2 µSv/MBq for 18F-rhPSMA-7 and 21.7 and 12.8 µSv/MBq for 18F-rhPSMA-7.3 respectively. Human biodistribution of both agents was typical of other PSMA-ligands and broadly similar to each other; SUVmean were 16.9 versus 16.2 (parotid gland), 19.6 versus 19.9 (submandibular gland), 2.0 versus 1.9 (blood pool, p < 0.005), 0.7 versus 0.7 (lungs), 7.0 versus 7.3 (liver), 9.1 versus 8.4 (spleen), 32.4 versus 35.7 (kidney), 2.5 versus 2.8 (pancreas), 10.9 versus 11.0 (duodenum), 1.1 versus 1.3 (bone) and 4.6 versus 2.0 (bladder; p < 0.001) for 18F-rhPSMA-7 versus 18F-rhPSMA-7.3, respectively. Tumour SUVmean was higher for 18F-rhPSMA-7.3 (32.5 ± 42.7, n = 63 lesions) than for 18F-rhPSMA-7 (20.0 ± 20.2, n = 89 lesions).ConclusionsRadiation dosimetry is favourable for both agents. Radiation exposure, assuming a 1 h voiding interval, is less than 5 mSv after injection of 370 MBq. 18F-rhPSMA-7.3 showed significantly lower bladder uptake, and a higher uptake trend in tumours compared with 18F-rhPSMA-7.

Project description:Targeting cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) has become an attractive goal for diagnostic imaging and therapy because they can constitute as much as 90% of a tumor mass. The serine protease fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is overexpressed selectively in CAFs, drawing interest in FAP as a stromal target. The quinoline-based FAP inhibitor (FAPI) PET tracer 68Ga-FAPI-04 has been previously shown to yield high tumor-to-background ratios (TBRs) in patients with various cancers. Recent developments toward an improved compound for therapeutic application have identified FAPI-46 as a promising agent because of an increased tumor retention time in comparison with FAPI-04. Here, we present a PET biodistribution and radiation dosimetry study of 68Ga-FAPI-46 in cancer patients. Methods: Six patients with different cancers underwent serial 68Ga-FAPI-46 PET/CT scans at 3 time points after radiotracer injection: 10 min, 1 h, and 3 h. The source organs consisted of the kidneys, bladder, liver, heart, spleen, bone marrow, uterus, and remainder of body. OLINDA/EXM software, version 1.1, was used to fit and integrate the kinetic organ activity data to yield total-body and organ time-integrated activity coefficients and residence times and, finally, organ-absorbed doses. SUVs and TBR were generated from the contoured tumor and source-organ volumes. Spheric volumes in muscle and blood pool were also obtained for TBR (tumor SUVmax/organ SUVmean). Results: At all time points, average SUVmax was highest in the liver. Tumor and organ SUVmean decreased over time, whereas TBRs in all organs but the uterus increased. The organs with the highest effective doses were bladder wall (2.41E-03 mSv/MBq), followed by ovaries (1.15E-03 mSv/MBq) and red marrow (8.49E-04 mSv/MBq). The average effective total-body dose was 7.80E-03 mSv/MBq. Conclusion: 68Ga-FAPI-46 PET/CT has a favorable dosimetry profile, with an estimated whole-body dose of 5.3 mSv for an administration of 200 MBq (5.4 mCi) of 68Ga-FAPI-46 (1.56 ± 0.26 mSv from the PET tracer and 3.7 mSv from 1 low-dose CT scan). The biodistribution study showed high TBRs increasing over time, suggesting high diagnostic performance and favorable tracer kinetics for potential therapeutic applications.

Project description:PurposeThe prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) targeted positron-emitting-tomography (PET) tracer 68Ga-PSMA-11 shows great promise in the detection of prostate cancer. However, 68Ga has several shortcomings as a radiolabel including short half-life and non-ideal energies, and this has motivated consideration of 18F-labelled analogs. 18F-PSMA-1007 was selected among several 18F-PSMA-ligand candidate compounds because it demonstrated high labelling yields, outstanding tumor uptake and fast, non-urinary background clearance. Here, we describe the properties of 18F-PSMA-1007 in human volunteers and patients.MethodsRadiation dosimetry of 18F-PSMA-1007 was determined in three healthy volunteers who underwent whole-body PET-scans and concomitant blood and urine sampling. Following this, ten patients with high-risk prostate cancer underwent 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT (1 h and 3 h p.i.) and normal organ biodistribution and tumor uptakes were examined. Eight patients underwent prostatectomy with extended pelvic lymphadenectomy. Uptake in intra-prostatic lesions and lymph node metastases were correlated with final histopathology, including PSMA immunostaining.ResultsWith an effective dose of approximately 4.4-5.5 mSv per 200-250 MBq examination, 18F-PSMA-1007 behaves similar to other PSMA-PET agents as well as to other 18F-labelled PET-tracers. In comparison to other PSMA-targeting PET-tracers, 18F-PSMA-1007 has reduced urinary clearance enabling excellent assessment of the prostate. Similar to 18F-DCFPyL and with slightly slower clearance kinetics than PSMA-11, favorable tumor-to-background ratios are observed 2-3 h after injection. In eight patients, diagnostic findings were successfully validated by histopathology. 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT detected 18 of 19 lymph node metastases in the pelvis, including nodes as small as 1 mm in diameter.Conclusion18F-PSMA-1007 performs at least comparably to 68Ga-PSMA-11, but its longer half-life combined with its superior energy characteristics and non-urinary excretion overcomes some practical limitations of 68Ga-labelled PSMA-targeted tracers.

Project description:PurposeCopper is essential for enzymatic processes throughout the body. [64Cu]copper (64Cu) positron emission tomography (PET) has been investigated as a diagnostic tool for certain malignancies, but has not yet been used to study copper homeostasis in humans. In this study, we determined the hepatic removal kinetics, biodistribution and radiation dosimetry of 64Cu in healthy humans by both intravenous and oral administration.MethodsSix healthy participants underwent PET/CT studies with intravenous or oral administration of 64Cu. A 90 min dynamic PET/CT scan of the liver was followed by three whole-body PET/CT scans at 1.5, 6, and 20 h after tracer administration. PET data were used for estimation of hepatic kinetics, biodistribution, effective doses, and absorbed doses for critical organs.ResultsAfter intravenous administration, 64Cu uptake was highest in the liver, intestinal walls and pancreas; the gender-averaged effective dose was 62 ± 5 μSv/MBq (mean ± SD). After oral administration, 64Cu was almost exclusively taken up by the liver while leaving a significant amount of radiotracer in the gastrointestinal lumen, resulting in an effective dose of 113 ± 1 μSv/MBq. Excretion of 64Cu in urine and faeces after intravenous administration was negligible. Hepatic removal kinetics showed that the clearance of 64Cu from blood was 0.10 ± 0.02 mL blood/min/mL liver tissue, and the rate constant for excretion into bile or blood was 0.003 ± 0.002 min- 1.Conclusion64Cu biodistribution and radiation dosimetry are influenced by the manner of tracer administration with high uptake by the liver, intestinal walls, and pancreas after intravenous administration, while after oral administration, 64Cu is rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and deposited primarily in the liver. Administration of 50 MBq 64Cu yielded images of high quality for both administration forms with radiation doses of approximately 3.1 and 5.7 mSv, respectively, allowing for sequential studies in humans.Trial registration numberEudraCT no. 2016-001975-59.
