Clinical implementation of PLANET® Dose for dosimetric assessment after [¹⁷⁷Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE: comparison with Dosimetry Toolkit® and OLINDA/EXM® V1.0.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The aim of this study was to compare a commercial dosimetry workstation (PLANET® Dose) and the dosimetry approach (GE Dosimetry Toolkit® and OLINDA/EXM® V1.0) currently used in our department for quantification of the absorbed dose (AD) to organs at risk after peptide receptor radionuclide therapy with [¹⁷⁷Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE.

Methods

An evaluation on phantom was performed to determine the SPECT calibration factor variations over time and to compare the Time Integrated Activity Coefficients (TIACs) obtained with the two approaches. Then, dosimetry was carried out with the two tools in 21 patients with neuroendocrine tumours after the first and second injection of 7.2?±?0.2 GBq of [¹⁷⁷Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE (40 dosimetry analyses with each software). SPECT/CT images were acquired at 4 h, 24 h, 72 h and 192 h post-injection and were reconstructed using the Xeleris software (General Electric). The liver, spleen and kidneys masses and TIACs were determined using Dosimetry Toolkit® (DTK) and PLANET® Dose. The ADs were calculated using OLINDA/EXM® V1.0 and the Local Deposition Method (LDM) or Dose voxel-Kernel convolution (DK) on PLANET® Dose.

Results

With the phantom, the 3D calibration factors showed a slight variation (0.8% and 3.3%) over time, and TIACs of 225.19 h and 217.52 h were obtained with DTK and PLANET® Dose, respectively. In patients, the root mean square deviation value was 8.9% for the organ masses, 8.1% for the TIACs, and 9.1% and 7.8% for the ADs calculated with LDM and DK, respectively. The Lin's concordance correlation coefficient was 0.99 and the Bland-Altman plot analysis estimated that the AD value difference between methods ranged from?-?0.75 to 0.49 Gy, from?-?0.20 to 0.64 Gy, and from?-?0.43 to 1.03 Gy for 95% of the 40 liver, kidneys and spleen dosimetry analyses. The dosimetry method had a minor influence on AD differences compared with the image registration and organ segmentation steps.

Conclusions

The ADs to organs at risk obtained with the new workstation PLANET® Dose are concordant with those calculated with the currently used software and in agreement with the literature. These results validate the use of PLANET® Dose in clinical routine for patient dosimetry after targeted radiotherapy with [¹⁷⁷Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE.

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:AimTo evaluate the cost-effectiveness of [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE versus relevant comparators for the treatment of neuroendocrine tumours located in the gastrointestinal tract (GI-NETs) and the pancreas (P-NETs).Materials and methodsA three-state partitioned survival model was developed to perform a cost-utility analysis of [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE versus standard of care (high dose Octreotide LAR), everolimus and sunitinib. Effectiveness data for SoC, everolimus and sunitinib were obtained from published Kaplan-Meier survival curves. Given a lack of head-to-head effectiveness data, matching adjusted indirect comparisons (MAICs) were performed to population-adjust [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE survival data based on prognostic factors and derive estimates of relative effectiveness. Health state utilities were estimated from real-world evidence. Drug acquisition costs were taken from nationally published sources (BNF, NICE), and administration costs were based on treatment protocols in [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE studies, combined with nationally published unit costs (PSSRU, DoH reference costs). Incidence of adverse events were estimated using published sources. A discount rate of 3.5% was applied to both utilities and costs, and deterministic and probabilistic sensitivity analyses were performed. Costs were included from an NHS perspective and presented in 2017/18 GBP (and PPP Euros for base case).ResultsIn GI-NETs, the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) of [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE compared to SoC and everolimus was £26,528 (€27,672) and £24,145 (€25,186) per QALY, respectively. In P-NETs, the ICER of [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE compared to SoC was £22,146 (€23,101) or £28,038 (€29,251) dependent on matched population, and £21,827 (€22,766) and £15,768 (€16,445) compared to everolimus and sunitinib, respectively.ConclusionsAt a willingness to pay threshold of £30,000, [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE is likely to be a cost-effective treatment option for GI-NET and P-NET patients versus relevant treatment comparators (NHS perspective).

Project description:This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of multiple cycles of 177Lu-DOTA-Evans blue (EB)-TATE peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) at escalating doses in neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). Methods: Thirty-two NET patients were randomly divided into 3 groups and treated with escalating doses. Group A received 1.17 ± 0.09 GBq/cycle; group B, 1.89 ± 0.53 GBq/cycle; and group C, 3.97 ± 0.84 GBq/cycle. The treatment was planned for up to 3 cycles. Treatment-related adverse events were graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), version 5.0. Treatment response was evaluated according to the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer criteria and modified PERCIST. Results: Administration of PRRT was well tolerated, without life-threatening adverse events (CTCAE grade 4). CTCAE grade 3 hematotoxicity was recorded in 1 patient (16.6%) in group B (thrombocytopenia) and 3 patients (21.4%) in group C (thrombocytopenia in 3, anemia in 1). CTCAE grade 3 hepatotoxicity (elevated aspartate aminotransferase) was recorded in 1 patient in group A (8.3%) and 1 patient in group C (7.1%). No nephrotoxicity was observed. According to the criteria of the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer, the overall disease response rates were similar in groups A, B, and C (50.0%, 50.0%, and 42.9%, respectively), and the overall disease control rates were higher in groups B (83.3%) and C (71.5%) than in group A (66.7%). According to modified PERCIST, a lower disease response rate but a similar disease control rate were found. When a comparable baseline SUVmax ranging from 15 to 40 was selected, the percentage change in SUVmax increased slightly in group A (2.1% ± 40.8%) but decreased significantly in groups B and C (-38.7% ± 10.0% and -14.7% ± 20.0%, respectively) after the first PRRT (P = 0.001) and decreased in all 3 groups after the third PRRT (groups A, B, and C: -6.9% ± 42.3%, -49.2% ± 30.9%, -11.9% ± 37.9%, respectively; P = 0.044). Conclusion: Dose escalations of up to 3.97 GBq/cycle seem to be well tolerated for 177Lu-DOTA-EB-TATE. 177Lu-DOTA-EB-TATE doses of 1.89 and 3.97 GBq/cycle were effective in tumor control and more effective than 1.17 GBq/cycle.

Project description:PurposeWhile there are reports of treatment-related endocrine disruptions and catecholamine surges in pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma (PPGL) patients treated with [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE therapy, the spectrum of these abnormalities in the immediate post-treatment period (within 48 hours) has not been previously evaluated and is likely underestimated.MethodsThe study population included patients (≥18 years) enrolled in a phase 2 trial for treatment of somatostatin receptor (SSTR)-2+ inoperable/metastatic pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma with [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE (7.4 GBq per cycle for 1 - 4 cycles). Hormonal measurements [adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), cortisol, thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), free thyroxine (FT4), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), testosterone, estradiol, growth hormone, prolactin], catecholamines, and metanephrines were obtained on days-1, 2, 3, 30, and 60 per cycle as per trial protocol, and were retrospectively analyzed.ResultsAmong the 27 patients (age: 54 ± 12.7 years, 48.1% females) who underwent hormonal evaluation, hypoprolactinemia (14.1%), elevated FSH (13.1%), and elevated LH (12.5%) were the most frequent hormonal abnormalities across all 4 cycles combined. On longitudinal follow-up, significant reductions were noted in i. ACTH without corresponding changes in cortisol, ii. TSH, and FT4, and iii. prolactin at or before day-30 of [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE. No significant changes were observed in the gonadotropic axis and GH levels. Levels of all hormones on day-60 were not significantly different from day-1 values, suggesting the transient nature of these changes. However, two patients developed clinical, persistent endocrinopathies (primary hypothyroidism: n=1 male; early menopause: n=1 female). Compared to day-1, a significant % increase in norepinephrine, dopamine, and normetanephrine levels were noted at 24 hours following [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE dose and peaked within 48 hours.Conclusions[177Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE therapy is associated with alterations in endocrine function likely from radiation exposure to SSTR2+ endocrine tissues. However, these changes may sometimes manifest as clinically significant endocrinopathies. It is therefore important to periodically assess endocrine function during [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE therapy, especially among symptomatic patients.Clinical trial registrationhttps://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03206060?term=NCT03206060&draw=2&rank=1, identifier NCT03206060.

Project description:Rationale: This study aimed to assess the safety, efficacy, and survival of 177Lu-DOTA-EB-TATE in patients with metastatic neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). Methods: Thirty patients with metastatic NETs were prospectively enrolled and treated with 177Lu-DOTA-EB-TATE (3 intended cycles at 8 to 12-week intervals, 3.7 GBq/cycle). Treatment-related adverse events were graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), version 5.0. The treatment response was graded according to RECIST 1.1 and PERCIST 1.0 criteria. Kaplan-Meier analysis was performed to calculate progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Results: Patients tolerated therapy well without acute adverse effects. During peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT), no grade 4 toxicity was observed in any of the patients; grade 3 hematotoxicity was recorded in 4 patients, including grade 3 thrombocytopenia in 4 patients (13.3%) and grade-3 anemia in 1 patient (3.3%); grade 3 hepatotoxicity was recorded in 1 (3.3%) patient, and no grade 2/3/4 nephrotoxicity was observed. On long-term follow-up, none of the patients developed grade 4 hematotoxicity or nephrotoxicity of any grade, reversible grade 3 hematotoxicity (thrombocytopenia) occurred in 1 patient. There was no incidence of leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome for the duration of follow-up. Of 27 patients with RECIST-measurable disease, partial response and stable disease were seen in 9 and 14 patients, respectively, resulting in a response rate of 33.3% and disease control rate of 85.2%. Of 29 patients evaluable for response on 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT, 14 had partial response and 11 had stable disease, with a response rate of 48.3% and disease control rate of 86.2%. The follow-up period ranged from 5 to 57 months after the first 177Lu-DOTA-EB-TATE PRRT with a median follow-up of 46 months. The median PFS was 36 months, and the median OS was not reached. Ki-67 index of greater than 10% was associated with poorer PFS (P = 0.012). Conclusions: Our results suggest that PRRT with approximately 3.7 GBq 177Lu-DOTA-EB-TATE has acceptable toxicity profile and is effective in treating metastatic NET with high disease control rate. In addition, 177Lu-DOTA-EB-TATE achieved a favorable survival outcome with encouraging PFS.

Project description:PurposeTo evaluate the safety and efficacy of 177Lu-DOTA-EB-TATE, a radiolabeled somatostatin analog modified by Evans blue, at escalating doses, was used to increase tumor retention in patients with progressive metastatic neuroendocrine tumors (NETs).MethodsThirty-three patients with metastatic NETs were prospectively enrolled into four groups: group A (n = 6, 43 ± 12 years) administered approximately 3.7 GBq (100 mCi) 177Lu-DOTATATE as controls; group B (n = 7, 55 ± 7 years) administered approximately 1.11 GBq (30 mCi) 177Lu-DOTA-EB-TATE; group C (n = 6, 55 ± 10 years) administered approximately 1.85 GBq (50 mCi) 177Lu-DOTA-EB-TATE; group D (n = 14, 50 ± 10 years) administered approximately 3.7 GBq (100 mCi) 177Lu-DOTA-EB-TATE. Treatment-related adverse events were graded according to the CTCAE v.5.0. 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT were performed at baseline and 2-3 months after treatment for response evaluation.ResultsAdministration was well tolerated. No CTC 3/4 hematotoxicity, nephrotoxicity, or hepatotoxicity was observed during or after treatment in groups A-C. In group D, CTC-3 hematotoxicity was recorded in 2 patients with multicourse chemotherapy previously. After one-cycle treatment, the SUVmax decreased in group C (Δ% = - 17.4 ± 29.3%) and group D (Δ% = - 15.1 ± 39.1%), but greatly increased in group B (Δ% = 30.0 ± 68.0%) and mildly increased in group A (Δ% = 5.4 ± 45.9%). Referring to EORTC criteria, 16.7% (1/6), 0% (0/7), 50% (3/6), and 50% (7/14) were evaluated as partial response in groups A, B, C, and D, respectively. When selecting lesions with comparable baseline SUVmax ranging from 15 to 40, SUVmax showed no significant decrease in group B (Δ% = - 7.3 ± 24.5%) (P = 0.214), significant decrease in group C (Δ% = - 34.9 ± 12.4%) (P = 0.001), and in group D (Δ% = - 17.9 ± 19.7%) (P = 0.012) as compared with group A with increased SUVmax (Δ% = 8.4 ± 48.8%). SUVmax significantly decreased in the EBTATE groups (groups B-D combined) (Δ% = - 19.0 ± 21.5%) as compared with the TATE group (P = 0.045).Conclusion177Lu-DOTA-EB-TATE is well tolerated and is more effective than 177Lu-DOTATATE. Both 1.85 GBq (50 mCi) and 3.7 GBq (100 mCi) doses appear to be more effective than 1.11 GBq (30 mCi) dose. Further investigation with more cycles of 177Lu-DOTA-EB-TATE treatment and longer follow-up is warranted.Trial registrationTreatment Using 177Lu-DOTA-EB-TATE in Patients with Advanced Neuroendocrine Tumors (NCT03478358).
