PSMA-D4 Radioligand for Targeted Therapy of Prostate Cancer: Synthesis, Characteristics and Preliminary Assessment of Biological Properties.

ABSTRACT: A new PSMA ligand (PSMA-D4) containing the Glu-CO-Lys pharmacophore connected with a new linker system (L-Trp-4-Amc) and chelator DOTA was developed for radiolabeling with therapeutic radionuclides. Herein we describe the synthesis, radiolabeling, and preliminary biological evaluation of the novel PSMA-D4 ligand. Synthesized PSMA-D4 was characterized using TOF-ESI-MS, NMR, and HPLC methods. The novel compound was subject to molecular modeling with GCP-II to compare its binding mode to analogous reference compounds. The radiolabeling efficiency of PSMA-D4 with 177Lu, 90Y, 47Sc, and 225Ac was chromatographically tested. In vitro studies were carried out in PSMA-positive LNCaP tumor cells membranes. The ex vivo tissue distribution profile of the radioligands and Cerenkov luminescence imaging (CLI) was studied in LNCaP tumor-bearing mice. PSMA-D4 was synthesized in 24% yield and purity >97%. The radio complexes were obtained with high yields (>97%) and molar activity ranging from 0.11 to 17.2 GBq mcmol-1, depending on the radionuclide. In vitro assays confirmed high specific binding and affinity for all radiocomplexes. Biodistribution and imaging studies revealed high accumulation in LNCaP tumor xenografts and rapid clearance of radiocomplexes from blood and non-target tissues. These render PSMA-D4 a promising ligand for targeted therapy of prostate cancer (PCa) metastases.

Project description:PurposeThe first aim of this study was to evaluate 68Ga-PSMAHBED-CC conjugate 11 positron emission tomography (PSMA PET) parameters for assessment of response to 177Lu-PSMA-617 radioligand therapy (RLT) in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). The second aim was to investigate factors associated with overall survival (OS).MethodsWe retrospectively assessed mean standardized uptake values (SUVmean) and total tumor volumes (TTV) on PSMA PET in 38 of 55 mCRPC patients before and after RLT. PSA testing and PSMA PET/CT(MRI) imaging were performed during the 8 weeks before and the 6 weeks after RLT. PSMA PET and CT(MRI) images were reviewed separately according to the modified PET Response Criteria in Solid Tumors (mPERCIST) and RECIST1.1. The results were compared with PSA responses. Associations between OS and the RECIST evaluation and changes in SUVmean, TTV, and PSA, CRP, LDH, hemoglobin and ALP levels were determined in a univariable survival analysis.ResultsThe median PSA level at the time of pretherapy PSMA PET/CT(MRI) was 60.8 ng/ml (IQR 15.4, 264.2 ng/ml). After RLT the median PSA level decreased by 44%, TTV by 45.1%, SUVmean by 25.8% and RECIST by 11.3%. A PSA response was seen in 18 patients (47.4%), stable disease in 12 (31.6%) and progressive disease in 8 (21.1%). Contrary to the changes in SUVmean and the RECIST evaluation, the change in TTV was significantly associated with PSA response (p = 0.15, p = 0.58, and p < 0.001, respectively). After a median follow-up of 17 months (IQR 8.0, 24.2 months), 11 patients (28.9%) had died of their prostate cancer. The changes in both TTV and PSA levels were associated with OS (HR 1.001, 95% CI 1-1.003, p = 0.04, and HR 1.004, 95% CI 1.001-1.008, p = 0.01, respectively), while the changes in SUVmean and the RECIST evaluation were not. The pre-therapy CRP level was also associated with OS (HR 1.07, 95% CI 1.009-1.14, p = 0.02).ConclusionTTV on PSMA PET seems to be a reliable parameter for response assessment in mCRPC patients undergoing RLT and might overcome the limitations of RECIST in prostate cancer. Furthermore, the change in TTV was significantly associated with OS in our cohort.
