FDG PET/CT parameters and correlations with tumor-absorbed doses in a phase 1 trial of ¹⁷⁷Lu-lilotomab satetraxetan for treatment of relapsed non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

¹⁷⁷Lu-lilotomab satetraxetan targets the CD37 antigen and has been investigated in a first-in-human phase 1/2a study for relapsed non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Tumor dosimetry and response evaluation can be challenging after radioimmunotherapy (RIT). Changes in FDG PET/CT parameters after RIT and correlations with tumor-absorbed doses has not been examined previously in patients with lymphoma. Treatment-induced changes were measured at FDG PET/CT and ceCT to evaluate response at the lesion level after treatment, and correlations with tumor-absorbed doses were investigated.

Methods

Forty-five tumors in 16 patients, with different pre-treatment and pre-dosing regimens, were included. Dosimetry was performed based on multiple SPECT/CT images. FDG PET/CT was performed at baseline and at 3 and 6 months. SUV_max, MTV, TLG, and changes in these parameters were calculated for each tumor. Lesion response was evaluated at 3 and 6 months (PET_3months and PET_6months) based on Deauville criteria. Anatomical changes based on ceCT at baseline and at 6 and 12 months were investigated by the sum of perpendiculars (SPD).

Results

Tumor-absorbed doses ranged from 35 to 859 cGy. Intra- and interpatient variations were observed. Mean decreases in PET parameters from baseline to 3 months were ΔSUV_max-3months 61%, ΔMTV_3months 80%, and ΔTLG_3months 77%. There was no overall correlation between tumor-absorbed dose and change in FDG PET or ceCT parameters at the lesion level or significant difference in tumor-absorbed doses between metabolic responders and non-responders after treatment.

Conclusion

Our analysis does not show any correlation between tumor-absorbed doses and changes in FDG PET or ceCT parameters for the included lesions. The combination regimen, including cold antibodies, may be one of the factors precluding such a correlation. Increased intra-patient response with increased tumor-absorbed doses was observed for most patients, implying individual variations in radiation sensitivity or biology.

Project description:Purpose177Lu-lilotomab satetraxetan is a novel anti-CD37 antibody radionuclide conjugate for the treatment of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Four arms with different combinations of pre-dosing and pre-treatment have been investigated in a first-in-human phase 1/2a study for relapsed CD37+ indolent NHL. The aim of this work was to determine the tumor and normal tissue absorbed doses for all four arms, and investigate possible variations in the ratios of tumor to organs-at-risk absorbed doses.MethodsTwo of the phase 1 arms included cold lilotomab pre-dosing (arm 1 and 4; 40 mg fixed and 100 mg/m2 BSA dosage, respectively) and two did not (arms 2 and 3). All patients were pre-treated with different regimens of rituximab. The patients received either 10, 15, or 20 MBq 177Lu-lilotomab satetraxetan per kg body weight. Nineteen patients were included for dosimetry, and a total of 47 lesions were included. The absorbed doses were calculated from multiple SPECT/CT-images and normalized by administered activity for each patient. Two-sided Student's t tests were used for all statistical analyses.ResultsOrgans with distinct uptake of 177Lu-lilotomab satetraxetan, in addition to tumors, were red marrow (RM), liver, spleen, and kidneys. The mean RM absorbed doses were 0.94, 1.55, 1.44, and 0.89 mGy/MBq for arms 1-4, respectively. For the patients not pre-dosed with lilotomab (arms 2 and 3 combined) the mean RM absorbed dose was 1.48 mGy/MBq, which was significantly higher than for both arm 1 (p = 0.04) and arm 4 (p = 0.02). Of the other organs, the highest uptake was found in the spleen, and there was a significantly lower spleen absorbed dose for arm-4 patients than for the patient group without lilotomab pre-dosing (1.13 vs. 3.20 mGy/MBq; p < 0.01). Mean tumor absorbed doses were 2.15, 2.31, 1.33, and 2.67 mGy/MBq for arms 1-4, respectively. After averaging the tumor absorbed dose for each patient, the patient mean tumor absorbed dose to RM absorbed dose ratios were obtained, given mean values of 1.07 for the patient group not pre-dosed with lilotomab, of 2.16 for arm 1, and of 4.62 for arm 4. The ratios were significantly higher in both arms 1 and 4 compared to the group without pre-dosing (p = 0.05 and p = 0.02). No statistically significant difference between arms 1 and 4 was found.ConclusionsRM is the primary dose-limiting organ for 177Lu-lilotomab satetraxetan treatment, and pre-dosing with lilotomab has a mitigating effect on RM absorbed dose. Increasing the amount of lilotomab from 40 mg to 100 mg/m2 was found to slightly decrease the RM absorbed dose and increase the ratio of tumor to RM absorbed dose. Still, both pre-dosing amounts resulted in significantly higher tumor to RM absorbed dose ratios. The findings encourage continued use of pre-dosing with lilotomab.

Project description:Purpose[177Lu]Lu-lilotomab satetraxetan, a novel CD37 directed radioimmunotherapy (RIT), has been investigated in a first-in-human phase 1/2a study for relapsed indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma. In this study, new methods were assessed to calculate the mean absorbed dose to the total tumor volume, with the aim of establishing potential dose-response relationships based on 2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-D-glucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) parameters and clinical response. Our second aim was to study if higher total tumor burden induces reduction in the 177Lu-lilotomab satetraxetan accumulation in tumor.ProceduresFifteen patients with different pre-dosing (non-radioactive lilotomab) regimens were included and the cohort was divided into low and high non-radioactive lilotomab pre-dosing groups for some of the analyses. 177Lu-lilotomab satetraxetan was administered at dosage levels of 10, 15, or 20 MBq/kg. Mean absorbed doses to the total tumor volume (tTAD) were calculated from posttreatment single-photon emission tomography (SPECT)/computed tomography (CT) acquisitions. Total values of metabolic tumor volume (tMTV), total lesion glycolysis (tTLG) and the percent change in these parameters were calculated from FDG PET/CT performed at baseline, and at 3 and 6 months after RIT. Clinical responses were evaluated at 6 months as complete remission (CR), partial remission (PR), stable disease (SD), or progressive disease (PD).ResultsSignificant decreases in tMTV and tTLG were observed at 3 months for patients receiving tTAD ≥ 200 cGy compared to patients receiving tTAD < 200 cGy (p = .03 for both). All non-responders had tTAD < 200 cGy. Large variations in tTAD were observed in responders. Reduction in 177Lu-lilotomab satetraxetan uptake in tumor volume was not observed in patients with higher baseline tumor burden (tTMV).ConclusiontTAD of ≥ 200 cGy may prove valuable to ensure clinical response, but further studies are needed to confirm this in a larger patient population. Furthermore, this work indicates that higher baseline tumor burden (up to 585 cm3) did not induce reduction in radioimmunoconjugate accumulation in tumor.

Project description:This study aimed to compare different image-based methods for bone marrow dosimetry and study the dose-response relationship during treatment with 177Lu-DOTATATE in patients with and without skeletal metastases. Methods: This study included 46 patients with advanced neuroendocrine tumors treated with at least 2 fractions of 177Lu-DOTATATE at Sahlgrenska University Hospital. High- and low-uptake compartments were automatically outlined in planar images collected at 2, 24, 48, and 168 h after injection. The bone marrow absorbed doses were calculated from the cross doses of the high- and low-uptake compartments and the self-dose, using the time-activity concentration curve for the low-uptake compartment. This time-activity concentration curve was adjusted using a fixed constant of 1.8 for the planar dosimetry method and using the activity concentrations in vertebral bodies in SPECT images at 24 h after injection of 177Lu-DOTATATE in 4 hybrid methods: L4-SPECT used the activity concentration in the L4 vertebra, whereas V-SPECT, L-SPECT, and T-SPECT used the median activity concentration in all visible vertebrae, lumbar vertebrae, and thoracic vertebrae, respectively. Results: Using the planar method, L4-SPECT, V-SPECT, L-SPECT, and T-SPECT, the estimated median bone marrow absorbed doses were 0.19, 0.36, 0.40, 0.39, and 0.46 Gy/7.4 GBq, respectively, with respective ranges of 0.12-0.33, 0.15-1.44, 0.19-1.71, 0.21-1.60, and 0.18-2.12 Gy/7.4 GBq. For all methods, the bone marrow absorbed dose significantly correlated with decreased platelet counts. This correlation increased after treatment fraction 2: the Spearman correlation (r s) were -0.49 for the planar method, -0.61 for L4-SPECT, -0.63 for V-SPECT, -0.63 for L-SPECT, and -0.57 for T-SPECT. A separate analysis revealed an increased correlation for patients without skeletal metastases using the planar method (r s = -0.67). In contrast, hybrid methods had poor correlations for patients without metastases and stronger correlations for patients with skeletal metastases (r s = -0.61 to -0.74). The mean bone marrow absorbed doses were 3%-69% higher for patients with skeletal metastases than for patients without. Conclusion: The estimated bone marrow absorbed doses by image-based techniques and the correlation with platelets are influenced by the choice of measured vertebrae and the presence of skeletal metastases.

Project description:PurposeRecent reports personalizing the administered activity (AA) of each cycle of peptide receptor radionuclide therapy based on the predicted absorbed dose (AD) to the kidneys (dose-limiting organ) have been promising. Assuming identical renal pharmacokinetics for each cycle is pragmatic, however it may lead to over- or under-estimation of the optimal AA. Here, we investigate the influence that earlier cycles of [177Lu]Lu-DOTATATE had on the biokinetics and AD of subsequent cycles in a recent clinical trial that evaluated the safety and activity of [177Lu]Lu-DOTATATE in pediatric neuroblastoma (NBL). We investigated whether predictions based on an assumption of unchanging AD per unit AA (Gy/GBq) prove robust to cyclical changes in biokinetics.MethodsA simulation study, based on dosimetry data from six children with NBL who received four-cycles of [177Lu]Lu-DOTATATE in the LuDO trial (ISRCTN98918118), was performed to explore the effect of variable biokinetics on AD. In the LuDO trial, AA was adapted to the patient's weight and SPECT/CT-based dosimetry was performed for the kidneys and tumour after each cycle. The largest tumour mass was selected for dosimetric analysis in each case.ResultsThe median tumour AD per cycle was found to decrease from 15.6 Gy (range 8.12-26.4) in cycle 1 to 11.4 Gy (range 9.67-28.8), 11.3 Gy (range 2.73-32.9) and 4.3 Gy (range 0.72-20.1) in cycles 2, 3 and 4, respectively. By the fourth cycle, the median of the ratios of the delivered AD (ADD) and the predicted (or "expected") AD (ADE) (which was based on an assumption of stable biokinetics from the first cycle onwards) were 0.16 (range 0.02-0.92, p = 0.013) for the tumour and 1.08 (range 0.84-1.76, p > 0.05) for kidney. None of the patients had an objective response at 1 month follow up.ConclusionThis study demonstrates variability in Gy/GBq and tumour AD per cycle in children receiving four administrations of [177Lu]Lu-DOTATATE treatment for NBL. NBL is deemed a radiation sensitive tumour; therefore, dose-adaptive treatment planning schemes may be appropriate for some patients to compensate for decreasing tumour uptake as treatment progresses.
