Pilot Study of Hyperfractionated Dosing of Lutetium-177-Labeled Antiprostate-Specific Membrane Antigen Monoclonal Antibody J591 (177 Lu-J591) for Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer.

ABSTRACT: LESSONS LEARNED:Hyperfractionation of lutetium-177 (177 Lu)-J591 for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer did not appear to have any additional advantage over the single dose 177 Lu-J591 or fractionated two-dose 177 Lu-J591 therapy. Definite conclusions were challenging because of the small sample size of this study, and so further studies are needed to evaluate the viability of the hypothesis. On the basis of available data, a registration study of 177 Lu-J591 (also known as TLX591) is planned and will use the two-dose fractionation schedule (Telix Pharma Q3 2019 update https://telixpharma.com/news-media/). BACKGROUND:Phase I and II single-dose studies of lutetium-177 (177 Lu)-J591, a radio-labeled antibody binding prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), demonstrated safety and efficacy with dose response. Modest dose fractionation of 177 Lu-J591 (2 doses) has less myelosuppression per similar cumulative dose, allowing higher doses to be administered safely. We hypothesized that additional dose fractionation would allow a higher cumulative dose, potentially with less toxicity and more efficacy. METHODS:Men with progressive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer and adequate organ function were enrolled. 177 Lu-J591 was administered at 25 mCi/m2 every 2?weeks until the emergence of related grade 2 toxicity. 177 Lu-J591 imaging was performed and circulating tumor cell (CTC) counts were measured before and after treatment along with standard monitoring. RESULTS:Six subjects in a single cohort, with a median age of 68.6?years, were enrolled. Patients received three to six doses (cumulative 75-150 mCi/m2 ). Two (33%) patients had >30% prostate-specific antigen (PSA) decline and three (50%) had CTC count decline. Two (33%) experienced grade (Gr) 4 neutropenia (without fever), three (50%) had Gr 4 thrombocytopenia (without hemorrhage), and two (33%) required platelet transfusions. Following hematological improvement, two patients developed worsening cytopenia during prostate cancer progression; bone marrow biopsies revealed infiltrative tumor replacing normal marrow elements without myelodysplasia. Targeting of known disease sites was seen on planar imaging in all. CONCLUSION:Hyperfractionation of 177 Lu-J591 is feasible but does not seem to have significant advantages over the two-dose fractionation regimen.

Project description:PurposeIncreased angiogenesis is a marker of aggressiveness in many cancers. Targeted radionuclide therapy of these cancers with angiogenesis-targeting agents may curtail this increased blood vessel formation and slow the growth of tumors, both primary and metastatic. CD105, or endoglin, has a primary role in angiogenesis in a number of cancers, making this a widely applicable target for targeted radioimmunotherapy.MethodsThe anti-CD105 antibody, TRC105 (TRACON Pharmaceuticals), was conjugated with DTPA for radiolabeling with 177Lu (t 1/2 6.65 days). Balb/c mice were implanted with 4T1 mammary carcinoma cells, and five study groups were used: 177Lu only, TRC105 only, 177Lu-DTPA-IgG (a nonspecific antibody), 177Lu-DTPA-TRC105 low-dose, and 177Lu-DTPA-TRC105 high-dose. Toxicity of the agent was monitored by body weight measurements and analysis of blood markers. Biodistribution studies of 177Lu-DTPA-TRC105 were also performed at 1 and 7 days after injection. Ex vivo histology studies of various tissues were conducted at 1, 7, and 30 days after injection of high-dose 177Lu-DTPA-TRC105.ResultsBiodistribution studies indicated steady uptake of 177Lu-DTPA-TRC105 in 4T1 tumors between 1 and 7 days after injection (14.3 ± 2.3%ID/g and 11.6 ± 6.1%ID/g, respectively; n = 3) and gradual clearance from other organs. Significant inhibition of tumor growth was observed in the high-dose group, with a corresponding significant increase in survival (p < 0.001, all groups). In most study groups (all except the nonspecific IgG group), the body weights of the mice did not decrease by more than 10%, indicating the safety of the injected agents. Serum alanine transaminase levels remained nearly constant indicating no damage to the liver (a primary clearance organ of the agent), and this was confirmed by ex vivo histological analyses.Conclusion177Lu-DTPA-TRC105, when administered at a sufficient dose, is able to curtail tumor growth and provide a significant survival benefit without off-target toxicity. Thus, this targeted agent could be used in combination with other treatment options to slow tumor growth allowing the other agents to be more effective.

Project description:Radiohybrid prostate-specific membrane antigen (rhPSMA) ligands allow for labeling with 18F and radiometals for endoradiotherapy. rhPSMA-7.3 has been designated as a lead compound with promising preclinical data for 177Lu-rhPSMA-7.3, which has shown higher tumor uptake than 177Lu-PSMA I&T. In this retrospective analysis, we compared pretherapeutic clinical dosimetry data of both PSMA ligands. Methods: Six patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer underwent both 177Lu-rhPSMA-7.3 and 177Lu-PSMA I&T pretherapeutic dosimetry. Whole-body scintigraphy was performed at 1 h, 4 h, 24 h, 48 h, and 7 d after injection. Regions of interest covering the whole body, organs, bone marrow, and tumor lesions were drawn for each patient. Absorbed doses for individual patients and pretherapeutic applications were calculated using OLINDA/EXM. To facilitate the comparison of both ligands, we introduced the therapeutic index (TI), defined as the ratio of mean pretherapeutic doses to tumor lesions over relevant organs at risk. Results: Mean whole-body pretherapeutic effective doses for 177Lu-rhPSMA-7.3 and 177Lu-PSMA I&T were 0.12 ± 0.07 and 0.05 ± 0.03 Sv/GBq, respectively. Mean absorbed organ doses for 177Lu-rhPSMA-7.3 and 177Lu-PSMA I&T were, for example, 1.65 ± 0.28 and 0.73 ± 0.18 Gy/GBq for the kidneys, 0.19 ± 0.09 and 0.07 ± 0.03 Gy/GBq for the liver, 2.35 ± 0.78 and 0.80 ± 0.41 Gy/GBq for the parotid gland, and 0.67 ± 0.62 and 0.30 ± 0.27 Gy/GBq for the bone marrow, respectively. Tumor lesions received mean absorbed doses of 177Lu-rhPSMA-7.3 and 177Lu-PSMA I&T of 6.44 ± 6.44 and 2.64 ± 2.24 Gy/GBq, respectively. The mean TIs for the kidneys were 3.7 ± 2.2 and 3.6 ± 2.2 for 177Lu-rhPSMA-7.3 and 177Lu-PSMA I&T, respectively, and those for the bone marrow were 15.2 ± 10.2 and 15.1 ± 10.2 for 177Lu-rhPSMA-7.3 and 177Lu-PSMA I&T, respectively. Conclusion: Pretherapeutic clinical dosimetry confirmed preclinical results of mean absorbed doses for tumors that were 2-3 times higher for 177Lu-rhPSMA-7.3 than for 177Lu-PSMA I&T. Absorbed doses to normal organs also tended to be higher for 177Lu-rhPSMA-7.3, resulting overall in similar average TIs for both radiopharmaceuticals with considerable interpatient variability. 177Lu-rhPSMA-7.3 has promise for a therapeutic efficacy similar to that of 177Lu-PSMA I&T at smaller amounts of injected activity, simplifying radiation safety measurements (especially for large patient numbers or dose escalation regimens).

Project description:PurposeGastroenteropancreatic -neuroendocrine tumours (GEP-NETs) are commonly treated with surgical resection or long-term therapies for tumour growth control. Lutetium [177Lu]-DOTA-TATE was approved for the treatment of GEP-NETs after the phase III NETTER 1trial demonstrated improved progression free survival, objective response rates and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) compared to high-dose somatostatin analogues. No real-world data exist on prescribing habits and clinically significant endpoints for [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE treatment in Italy. REAL-LU is a multicentre, long-term observational study in patients with unresectable/metastatic GEP-NETs progressing on standard therapies in Italian clinical practice. A pre-specified interim analysis was performed at the end of the enrolment period, data from which are described herein.MethodsOverall duration of REAL-LU will be approximately 48 months, with 12- and 36-month recruitment and follow-up periods, respectively. The primary objective is to evaluate [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE effectiveness in terms of progression-free survival. Secondary objectives include safety, impact on HRQoL, and identification of prognostic factors. This pre-specified interim analysis describes patient profiles, at the end of enrollment, of those prescribed [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE for GEP-NETs in Italy.ResultsAmong 161 evaluable patients, mean age was 64.7 ± 10.3 years at study entry, 83.8% presented with no clinical signs of disease at physical examination, and most had minor disease symptoms. All patients had metastatic disease, most commonly in the liver (83.9%) with a median of two metastatic sites. In 90.7% of patients, the disease was stage IV, and 68.3% had ≥ 1 target lesion. [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE was prescribed mainly as second-line therapy (61.6%) and following surgery (58.4%). HRQoL assessments revealed high levels of functioning and low levels of symptoms at baseline; 50.0% of patients were symptom-free at study entry.ConclusionThe characteristics of patients who received [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE in Italy are similar to those of the GEP-NET population of NETTER 1 with trial but with a higher proportion of patients with a grade 2 (71%). With regard to the tumor grade profile, our study cohort appears to be closer to that of NETTER-2 study population which included patients with G2 or G3 advanced GEP-NETs (i.e. Ki-67 ≥ 10% and ≤ 55%). Further analysis of effectiveness and safety can be anticipated as REAL-LU data mature.Study registrationClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04727723; Study Registration Date: 25 January, 2021; https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT04727723?cond=NCT04727723&rank=1.

Project description:BackgroundMetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer remains fatal despite recent advances. Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is highly expressed in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. Lutetium-177 (177Lu)-PSMA-617 is a radioligand therapy that delivers beta-particle radiation to PSMA-expressing cells and the surrounding microenvironment.MethodsWe conducted an international, open-label, phase 3 trial evaluating 177Lu-PSMA-617 in patients who had metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer previously treated with at least one androgen-receptor-pathway inhibitor and one or two taxane regimens and who had PSMA-positive gallium-68 (68Ga)-labeled PSMA-11 positron-emission tomographic-computed tomographic scans. Patients were randomly assigned in a 2:1 ratio to receive either 177Lu-PSMA-617 (7.4 GBq every 6 weeks for four to six cycles) plus protocol-permitted standard care or standard care alone. Protocol-permitted standard care excluded chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radium-223 (223Ra), and investigational drugs. The alternate primary end points were imaging-based progression-free survival and overall survival, which were powered for hazard ratios of 0.67 and 0.73, respectively. Key secondary end points were objective response, disease control, and time to symptomatic skeletal events. Adverse events during treatment were those occurring no more than 30 days after the last dose and before subsequent anticancer treatment.ResultsFrom June 2018 to mid-October 2019, a total of 831 of 1179 screened patients underwent randomization. The baseline characteristics of the patients were balanced between the groups. The median follow-up was 20.9 months. 177Lu-PSMA-617 plus standard care significantly prolonged, as compared with standard care, both imaging-based progression-free survival (median, 8.7 vs. 3.4 months; hazard ratio for progression or death, 0.40; 99.2% confidence interval [CI], 0.29 to 0.57; P<0.001) and overall survival (median, 15.3 vs. 11.3 months; hazard ratio for death, 0.62; 95% CI, 0.52 to 0.74; P<0.001). All the key secondary end points significantly favored 177Lu-PSMA-617. The incidence of adverse events of grade 3 or above was higher with 177Lu-PSMA-617 than without (52.7% vs. 38.0%), but quality of life was not adversely affected.ConclusionsRadioligand therapy with 177Lu-PSMA-617 prolonged imaging-based progression-free survival and overall survival when added to standard care in patients with advanced PSMA-positive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Project description:BackgroundRadiohybrid PSMA-targeted ligands (rhPSMA) have been introduced as a novel platform for theranostic applications. Among a variety of rhPSMA-ligands developed for radioligand therapy, two stereoisomers [177Lu]Lu-rhPSMA-10.1 and -10.2 have been synthesized and initially characterized in preclinical experiments with the aim to provide an optimized binding profile to human serum albumin, a reduction of charge, and thus accelerated kidney excretion, and unaffected or even improved tumor uptake. As both isomers showed similar in vitro characteristics and tumor uptake at 24 h post injection in tumor bearing mice and in order to identify the isomer with the most favorable pharmacokinetics for radioligand therapy, we carried out in-depth biodistribution and dosimetry studies in tumor-bearing and healthy mice.ResultsrhPSMA-10.1 and -10.2 were radiolabeled with lutetium-177 according to the established procedures of other DOTA-based PSMA ligands and displayed a high and comparable stability in all buffers and human serum (> 97%, 24 h). Biodistribution studies revealed fast clearance from the blood pool (0.3-0.6%ID/g at 1 h) and other background tissues within 48 h. Distinctive differences were found in the kidneys, where [177Lu]Lu-rhPSMA-10.1 displayed lower initial uptake and faster excretion kinetics compared to [177Lu]Lu-rhPSMA-10.2 expressed by a 1.5-fold and ninefold lower uptake value at 1 h and 24 h in healthy animals, respectively. Tumor uptake was comparable and in the range of 8.6-11.6%ID/g for both isomers over 24 h and was maintained up to 168 h at a level of 2.2 ± 0.8 and 4.1 ± 1.4%ID/g for [177Lu]Lu-rhPSMA-10.1 and [177Lu]Lu-rhPSMA-10.2, respectively.ConclusionOur preclinical data on biodistribution and dosimetry indicate a more favorable profile of [177Lu]Lu-rhPSMA-10.1 compared to [177Lu]Lu-rhPSMA-10.2 for PSMA-targeted radioligand therapy. [177Lu]Lu-rhPSMA-10.1 shows fast kidney clearance kinetics resulting in excellent tumor-to-organ ratios over a therapy relevant time course. Meanwhile, [177Lu]Lu-rhPSMA-10.1 is currently being investigated in clinical phase I/II studies in patients with mCRPC (NCT05413850), in patients with high-risk localized PC (NCT06066437, Nautilus Trial) and after external beam radiotherapy (NCT06105918).
