Project description:Multiple myeloma (MM) is a plasma B-cell hematologic cancer that causes significant skeletal morbidity. Despite improvements in survival, heterogeneity in response remains a major challenge in MM. Cluster of differentiation 38 (CD38) is a type II transmembrane glycoprotein overexpressed in myeloma cells and is implicated in MM cell signaling. Daratumumab is a U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved high-affinity monoclonal antibody targeting CD38 that is clinically benefiting refractory MM patients. Here, we evaluated [89Zr]Zr-desferrioxamine (DFO)-daratumumab PET/CT imaging in MM tumor models. Methods: Daratumumab was conjugated to DFO-p-benzyl-isothiocyanate (DFO-Bz-NCS) for radiolabeling with 89Zr. Chelator conjugation was confirmed by electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry, and radiolabeling was monitored by instant thin-layer chromatography. Daratumumab was conjugated to Cyanine5 (Cy5) dye for cell microscopy. In vitro and in vivo evaluation of [89Zr]Zr-DFO-daratumumab was performed using CD38+ human myeloma MM1.S-luciferase (MM1.S) cells. Cellular studies determined the affinity, immunoreactivity, and specificity of [89Zr]Zr-DFO-daratumumab. A 5TGM1-luciferase (5TGM1)/KaLwRij MM mouse model served as control for imaging background noise. [89Zr]Zr-DFO-daratumumab PET/CT small-animal imaging was performed in severe combined immunodeficient mice bearing solid and disseminated MM tumors. Tissue biodistribution (7 d after tracer administration, 1.11 MBq/animal, n = 4-6/group) was performed in wild-type and MM1.S tumor-bearing mice. Results: A specific activity of 55.5 MBq/nmol (0.37 MBq/?g) was reproducibly obtained with [89Zr]Zr-daratumumab-DFO. Flow cytometry confirmed CD38 expression (>99%) on the surface of MM1.S cells. Confocal microscopy with daratumumab-Cy5 demonstrated specific cell binding. Dissociation constant, 3.3 nM (±0.58), and receptor density, 10.1 fmol/mg (±0.64), was obtained with a saturation binding assay. [89Zr]Zr-DFO-daratumumab/PET demonstrated specificity and sensitivity for detecting CD38+ myeloma tumors of variable sizes (8.5-128 mm3) with standardized uptake values ranging from 2.1 to 9.3. Discrete medullar lesions, confirmed by bioluminescence images, were efficiently imaged with [89Zr]Zr-DFO-daratumumab/PET. Biodistribution at 7 d after administration of [89Zr]Zr-DFO-daratumumab showed prominent tumor uptake (27.7 ± 7.6 percentage injected dose per gram). In vivo blocking was achieved with a 200-fold excess of unlabeled daratumumab. Conclusion: [89Zr]Zr-DFO- and Cy5-daratumumab demonstrated superb binding to CD38+ human MM cells and significantly low binding to CD38low cells. Daratumumab bioconjugates are being evaluated for image-guided delivery of therapeutic radionuclides.

Project description:IntroductionRadiolabeling of stem cells with a positron emitting radioisotope represents a major advancement in regenerative biotherapy enabling non-invasive imaging. To assess the value of such an approach in a clinically relevant scenario, the tolerability and therapeutic aptitude of [89Zr]zirconium-p-isothiocyanatobenzyl-desferrioxamine ([89Zr]Zr-DBN) labeled human cardiopoietic stem cells (CPs) were evaluated in a model of ischemic heart failure.Methods and results[89Zr]Zr-DBN based radiolabeling of human CPs yielded [89Zr]Zr-DBN-CPs with radioactivity yield of 0.70 ± 0.20 MBq/106 cells and excellent label stability. Compared to unlabeled cell counterparts, [89Zr]Zr-DBN-CPs maintained morphology, viability, and proliferation capacity with characteristic expression of mesodermal and pro-cardiogenic transcription factors defining the cardiopoietic phenotype. Administered in chronically infarcted murine hearts, [89Zr]Zr-DBN-CPs salvaged cardiac pump failure, documented by improved left ventricular ejection fraction not inferior to unlabeled CPs and notably superior to infarcted hearts without cell treatment.ConclusionThe present study establishes that [89Zr]Zr-DBN labeling does not compromise stem cell identity or efficacy in the setting of heart failure, offering a non-invasive molecular imaging platform to monitor regenerative biotherapeutics post-transplantation.

Project description:PurposeTo develop a prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeted radiotherapeutic for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) with optimized efficacy and minimized toxicity employing the β-particle radiation of 177Lu.MethodsWe synthesized 14 new PSMA-targeted, 177Lu-labeled radioligands (177Lu-L1-177Lu-L14) using different chelating agents and linkers. We evaluated them in vitro using human prostate cancer PSMA(+) PC3 PIP and PSMA(-) PC3 flu cells and in corresponding flank tumor models. Efficacy and toxicity after 8 weeks were evaluated at a single administration of 111 MBq for 177Lu-L1, 177Lu-L3, 177Lu-L5 and 177Lu-PSMA-617. Efficacy of 177Lu-L1 was further investigated using different doses, and long-term toxicity was determined in healthy immunocompetent mice.ResultsRadioligands were produced in high radiochemical yield and purity. Cell uptake and internalization indicated specific uptake only in PSMA(+) PC3 cells. 177Lu-L1, 177Lu-L3 and 177Lu-L5 demonstrated comparable uptake to 177Lu-PSMA-617 and 177Lu-PSMA-I&T in PSMA-expressing tumors up to 72 h post-injection. 177Lu-L1, 177Lu-L3 and 177Lu-L5 also demonstrated efficient tumor regression at 8 weeks. 177Lu-L1 enabled the highest survival rate. Necropsy studies of the treated group at 8 weeks revealed subacute damage to lacrimal glands and testes. No radiation nephropathy was observed 1 year post-treatment in healthy mice receiving 111 MBq of 177Lu-L1, most likely related to the fast renal clearance of this agent.Conclusions177Lu-L1 is a viable clinical candidate for radionuclide therapy of PSMA-expressing malignancies because of its high tumor-targeting ability and low off-target radiotoxic effects.

Project description:PurposeTargeted delivery in vivo remains an immense roadblock for the translation of nanomaterials into the clinic. The greatest obstacle is the mononuclear phagocyte system (MPS), which sequesters foreign substances from general circulation and causes accumulation in organs such as the liver and spleen. The purpose of this study was to determine whether attaching an active targeting antibody, 5B1, to the surface of gold nanoparticles and using clodronate liposomes to deplete liver and splenic macrophages could help to minimize uptake by MPS organs, increase targeted delivery to CA19.9-positive pancreatic tumors, and enhance pancreatic tumor delineation.ProceduresTo produce the antibody-gold nanoparticle conjugate (Ab-AuNP), the Ab was conjugated to p-isothiocyanatobenzyl-desferrioxamine (p-SCN-DFO) and subsequently conjugated to NHS-activated gold nanoparticles. The Ab-AuNP was characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Modified Lindmo assay was performed to assess binding affinity and internalization potential in vitro. The Ab-AuNP was radiolabeled with 89Zr and injected into CA19.9-positive BxPc-3 pancreatic orthotopic tumor-bearing mice pretreated with or without clodronate liposomes for PET imaging and biodistribution studies. Inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) analysis was used to confirm delivery of gold nanoparticles to BxPc-3 pancreatic subcutaneous xenografts.ResultsMice pretreated with clodronate liposomes in an orthotopic setting demonstrated decreased liver uptake at early time points (12.2 ± 2.3 % ID/g vs. 22.8 ± 3.8 % ID/g at 24 h) and increased tumor uptake at 120 h (13.8 ± 8.0 % ID/g vs. 6.0 ± 1.2 % ID/g). This allowed for delineation of orthotopic pancreatic xenografts in significantly more mice treated with clodronate (6/6) than in mice not treated with clodronate (2/6) or mice injected with gold nanoparticles labeled with a nonspecific antibody (0/5).ConclusionsThe combination of clodronate liposomes and an active targeting antibody on the surface of gold nanoparticles allowed for PET/CT imaging of subcutaneous and orthotopic pancreatic xenografts in mice.

Project description:Over the last three decades, the chemistry of zirconium has facilitated antibody development and the clinical management of disease in the precision medicine era. Scientists have harnessed its reactivity, coordination chemistry, and nuclear chemistry to develop antibody-based radiopharmaceuticals incorporating zirconium-89 (89Zr: t1/2 = 78.4 h, β+: 22.8%, Eβ+max = 901 keV; EC: 77%, Eγ = 909 keV) to improve disease detection, identify patients for individualized therapeutic interventions. and monitor their response to those interventions. However, release of the 89Zr4+ ion from the radiopharmaceutical remains a concern, since it may confound the interpretation of clinical imaging data, negatively affect dosimetric calculations, and hinder treatment planning. In this report, we relate our novel observations involving the use of polyazamacrocycles as zirconium-89 chelators. We describe the synthesis and complete characterization of zirconium 2,2',2″,2‴-(1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclotridecane-1,4,7,10-tetrayl)tetraacetic acid (Zr-TRITA), zirconium 3,6,9,15-Tetraazabicyclo[9.3.1] pentadeca-1(15),11,13-triene-3,6,9-triacetic acid (Zr-PCTA), and zirconium 2,2',2″-(1,4,7-triazacyclononane-1,4,7-triyl)triacetic acid (Zr-NOTA). In addition, we elucidate the solid-state structure of each complex using single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Finally, we found that [89Zr]Zr-PCTA and [89Zr]Zr-NOTA demonstrate excellent stability in vitro and in vivo and provide a rationale for these observations. These innovative findings have the potential to guide the development of safer and more robust immuno-PET agents to improve precision medicine applications.

Project description:AbstractMetastatic paraganglioma treatment options are limited. Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) has been introduced as a novel management option for metastatic neuroendocrine tumors demonstrating safety, efficacy, and increased quality of life. We present two cases of marked progression of metastatic paraganglioma following initial partial response to PRRT. Given their positivity on 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT and 111In-octreotide SPECT, they underwent PRRT. Imaging following treatment revealed significant improvement in size and intensity, with some foci nearly completely resolved in one patient, and disease regression with a decrease in the number and size of bone and liver lesions in the second patient. Within months, repeat imaging in both patients revealed extensive metastatic disease with new lesions, which eventually lead to their deaths. The mechanism for rapid disease progression after partial response is not well understood, although it could be related to initially high Ki-67 levels or 18F-FDG PET/CT SUVmax values. However, naturally rapid disease progression despite PRRT response cannot be excluded. This finding warrants the importance of proper patient counseling along with early and accurate pre-PRRT assessment, taking into consideration the above potential risk factors for therapy response in order to personalize treatment regimens and achieve maximum patient benefit.Clinicaltrialsgov identifierNCT00004847.

Project description:BackgroundIndividualized dosimetry is recommended for [177Lu]Lu-PSMA radioligand therapy (RLT) which is resource-intensive and protocols are often not optimized. Therefore, a simulation study was performed focusing on the determination of efficient optimal sampling schedules (OSS) for renal and tumour dosimetry by investigating different numbers of time points (TPs).MethodsSampling schedules with 1-4 TPs were investigated. Time-activity curves of the kidneys and two tumour lesions were generated based on a physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model and biokinetic data of 13 patients who have undergone [177Lu]Lu-PSMA I&T therapy. Systematic and stochastic noise of different ratios was considered when modelling time-activity data sets. Time-integrated activity coefficients (TIACs) were estimated by simulating the hybrid planar/SPECT method for schedules comprising at least two TPs. TIACs based on one single SPECT/CT measurement were estimated using an approximation for reducing the number of fitted parameters. For each sampling schedule, the root-mean-squared error (RMSE) of the deviations of the simulated TIACs from the ground truths for 1000 replications was used as a measure for accuracy and precision.ResultsAll determined OSS included a late measurement at 192 h p.i., which was necessary for accurate and precise tumour TIACs. OSS with three TPs were identified to be 3-4, 96-100 and 192 h with an additional SPECT/CT measurement at the penultimate TP. Kidney and tumour RMSE of 6.4 to 7.7% and 6.3 to 7.8% were obtained, respectively. Shortening the total time for dosimetry to e.g. 96 h resulted in kidney and tumour RMSE of 6.8 to 8.3% and 9.1 to 11%, respectively. OSS with four TPs showed similar results as with three TPs. Planar images at 4 and 68 h and a SPECT/CT shortly after the 68 h measurement led to kidney and tumour RMSE of 8.4 to 12% and 12 to 16%, respectively. One single SPECT/CT measurement at 52 h yielded good approximations for the kidney TIACs (RMSE of 7.0%), but led to biased tumour TIACs.ConclusionOSS allow improvements in accuracy and precision of renal and tumour dosimetry for [177Lu]Lu-PSMA therapy with potentially less effort. A late TP is important regarding accurate tumour TIACs.

Project description:Nanoengineering of cell membranes holds great potential to revolutionize tumor-targeted theranostics, owing to their innate biocompatibility and ability to escape from the immune and reticuloendothelial systems. However, tailoring and integrating cell membranes with drug and imaging agents into one versatile nanoparticle are still challenging. Here, multicompartment membrane-derived liposomes (MCLs) are developed by reassembling cancer cell membranes with Tween-80, and are used to conjugate 89 Zr via deferoxamine chelator and load tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl) porphyrin for in vivo noninvasive quantitative tracing by positron emission tomography imaging and photodynamic therapy (PDT), respectively. Radiolabeled constructs, 89 Zr-Df-MCLs, demonstrate excellent radiochemical stability in vivo, target 4T1 tumors by the enhanced permeability and retention effect, and are retained long-term for efficient and effective PDT while clearing gradually from the reticuloendothelial system via hepatobiliary excretion. Toxicity evaluation confirms that the MCLs do not impose acute or chronic toxicity in intravenously injected mice. Additionally, 89 Zr-labeled MCLs can execute rapid and highly sensitive lymph node mapping, even for deep-seated sentinel lymph nodes. The as-developed cell membrane reassembling route to MCLs could be extended to other cell types, providing a versatile platform for disease theranostics by facilely and efficiently integrating various multifunctional agents.

Project description:The detection and monitoring of prostate cancer (PrCa) malignancies using most of the conventional strategies is challenging. As an over-expressed biomarker of PrCa, the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR-2) can be delineated by non-invasive imaging to address such issue. Herein, we report the positron emission tomography (PET) of VEGFR-2 expression in a PrCa mice models by composing a novel tracer, [89Zr]zirconium-labeled clinical VEGFR-2 antibody (Ramucirumab), i.e. 89Zr-Df-R. The VEGFR-2 expression levels among three different PrCa cell lines (PC-3, LNCAP and LAPC-4) were confirmed by flow cytometry. The immuno-PET imaging and bio-distribution (Bio-D) study were conducted in subcutaneous PrCa mice models via the 89Zr-Df-R. The regions of interest (ROI) data showed that the uptake of 89Zr-Df-R in the positive PC-3 (9.5±3 %ID/g) tumors are obviously higher than those ones in the negative LNCAP (6.0±1.7 %ID/g) or LAPC-4 (4.3±0.7 %ID/g) tumors at 120 hours post-injection, while the accumulation of 89Zr-Df-R in PC-3 tumors (4.3±1.2 %ID/g)) could be significantly reduced by the blockade of unlabeled Ramucirumab. These quantitative data coincide with the Bio-D data and proves the specificity. Additionally, the immuno-fluorescent staining results confirmed the expression pattern of VEGFR-2 among various PrCa tumors. Finally, the flow cytometry of PC-3 tumor tissue further proved that the binding of 89Zr-Df-R to VEGFR-2 primarily occurs on the PC-3 tumor cells. In summary, the description of the VEGFR-2 expression in PrCa by in-vivo PET with 89Zr-Df-R is feasible and it may shed light on the early detection of foci and dynamic monitoring of anti-VEGFR-2 therapy in PrCa.

Project description:Rationale: The low response rate of immunotherapy, such as anti-PD-L1/PD-1 and anti-CTLA4, has limited its application to a wider population of cancer patients. One widely accepted view is that inflammation within the tumor microenvironment is low or ineffective for inducing the sufficient infiltration and/or activation of lymphocytes. Here, a highly tumor-selective anti-PD-L1 (?PD-L1) antibody was developed through PET imaging screening, and it was radiolabeled with Lu-177 for PD-L1-targeted radioimmunotherapy (RIT) and radiation-synergized immunotherapy. Methods: A series of ?PD-L1 antibodies were radiolabeled with zirconium-89 for PET imaging to screen the most suitable antibodies for RIT. Mice were divided into an immunotherapy group, a RIT group and a radiation-synergized immunotherapy group to evaluate the therapeutic effect. Alterations in the tumor microenvironment after treatment were assessed using flow cytometry and immunofluorescence microscopy. Results: Radiation-synergistic RIT can achieve a significantly better therapeutic effect than immunotherapy or RIT alone. The dosages of the radiopharmaceuticals and ?PD-L1 antibodies were reduced, the infiltration of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in the tumor microenvironment was increased, and no side effects were observed. This radiation-synergistic RIT strategy successfully showed a strong synergistic effect with ?PD-L1 checkpoint blockade therapy, at least in the mouse model. Conclusions: PET imaging of 89Zr-labeled antibodies is an effective method for antibody screening. RIT with a 177Lu-labeled ?PD-L1 antibody could successfully upregulate antitumor immunity in the tumor microenvironment and turn "cold" tumors "hot" for immunotherapy.
