Subacute haematotoxicity after PRRT with (177)Lu-DOTA-octreotate: prognostic factors, incidence and course.

ABSTRACT: In peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT), the bone marrow (BM) is one of the dose-limiting organs. The accepted dose limit for BM is 2 Gy, adopted from (131)I treatment. We investigated the incidence and duration of haematological toxicity and its risk factors in patients treated with PRRT with (177)Lu-DOTA(0)-Tyr(3)-octreotate ((177)Lu-DOTATATE). Also, absorbed BM dose estimates were evaluated and compared with the accepted 2 Gy dose limit.The incidence and duration of grade 3 or 4 haematological toxicity (according to CTCAE v3.0) and risk factors were analysed. Mean BM dose per unit (gigabecquerels) of administered radioactivity was calculated and the correlations between doses to the BM and haematological risk factors were determined.Haematological toxicity (grade 3/4) occurred in 34 (11 %) of 320 patients. In 15 of the 34 patients, this lasted more than 6 months or blood transfusions were required. Risk factors significantly associated with haematological toxicity were: poor renal function, white blood cell (WBC) count <4.0?×?10(9)/l, age over 70 years, extensive tumour mass and high tumour uptake on the OctreoScan. Previous chemotherapy was not associated. The mean BM dose per administered activity in 23 evaluable patients was 67?±?7 mGy/GBq, resulting in a mean BM dose of 2 Gy in patients who received four cycles of 7.4 GBq (177)Lu-DOTATATE. Significant correlations between (cumulative) BM dose and platelet and WBC counts were found in a selected group of patients.The incidence of subacute haematological toxicity after PRRT with (177)Lu-DOTATATE is acceptable (11 %). Patients with impaired renal function, low WBC count, extensive tumour mass, high tumour uptake on the OctreoScan and/or advanced age are more likely to develop grade 3/4 haematological toxicity. The BM dose limit of 2 Gy, adopted from (131)I, seems not to be valid for PRRT with (177)Lu-DOTATATE.

Project description:PurposeAfter peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT), renal toxicity may occur, particular in PRRT with (90)Y-labelled somatostatin analogues. Risk factors have been identified for increased probability of developing renal toxicity after PRRT, including hypertension, diabetes and age. We investigated the renal function over time, the incidence of nephrotoxicity and associated risk factors in patients treated with PRRT with [(177)Lu-DOTA(0),Tyr(3)]-Octreotate ((177)Lu-Octreotate). Also, radiation dose to the kidneys was evaluated and compared with the accepted dose limits in external beam radiotherapy and PRRT with (90)Y-radiolabelled somatostatin analogues.MethodsThe annual decrease in creatinine clearance (CLR) was determined in 209 Dutch patients and the incidence of grade 3 or 4 renal toxicity (according to CTCAE v4.03) was evaluated in 323 patients. Risk factors were analysed using a nonlinear mixed effects regression model. Also, radiation doses to the kidneys were calculated and their association with high annual decrease in renal function were analysed.ResultsOf the 323 patients, 3 (1 %) developed (subacute) renal toxicity grade 2 (increase in serum creatinine >1.5 - 3.0 times baseline or upper limit of normal). No subacute grade 3 or 4 nephrotoxicity was observed. The estimated average baseline CLR (± SD) was 108 ± 5 ml/min and the estimated average annual decrease in CLR (± SD) was 3.4 ± 0.4 %. None of the risk factors (hypertension, diabetes, high cumulative injected activity, radiation dose to the kidneys and CTCAE grade) at baseline had a significant effect on renal function over time. The mean absorbed kidney dose in 228 patients was 20.1 ± 4.9 Gy.ConclusionNephrotoxicity in patients treated with (177)Lu-octreotate was low. No (sub)acute grade 3 or 4 renal toxicity occurred and none of the patients had an annual decrease in renal function of >20 %. No risk factors for renal toxicity could be identified. Our data support the idea that the radiation dose threshold, adopted from external beam radiotherapy and PRRT with (90)Y-labelled somatostatin analogues, does not seem valid for PRRT with (177)Lu-octreotate.

Project description:BackgroundNeuroblastoma (NB) is one of the most frequently diagnosed tumors in infants. NB is a neuroendocrine tumor type with various characteristics and features, and with diverse outcome. The most malignant NBs have a 5-year survival rate of only 40-50%, indicating the need for novel and improved treatment options. 177Lu-octreotate is routinely administered for treatment of neuroendocrine tumors overexpressing somatostatin receptors (SSTR). The aim of this study was to examine the biodistribution of 177Lu-octreotate in mice bearing aggressive human NB cell lines, in order to evaluate the potential usefulness of 177Lu-octreotate for treatment of NB.MethodsBALB/c nude mice bearing CLB-BAR, CLB-GE or IMR-32 tumor xenografts (n = 5-7/group) were i.v. injected with 0.15 MBq, 1.5 MBq or 15 MBq 177Lu-octreotate and sacrificed 1 h, 24 h, 48 h and 168 h after administration. The radioactivity concentration was determined for collected tissue samples, tumor-to-normal-tissue activity concentration ratios (T/N) and mean absorbed dose for each tissue were calculated. Immunohistochemical (IHC) staining for SSTR1-5, and Ki67 were carried out for tumor xenografts from the three cell lines.ResultsHigh 177Lu concentration levels and T/N values were observed in all NB tumors, with the highest for CLB-GE tumor xenografts (72%IA/g 24 h p.i.; 1.5 MBq 177Lu-octreotate). The mean absorbed dose to the tumor was 6.8 Gy, 54 Gy and 29 Gy for CLB-BAR, CLB-GE and IMR-32, respectively, p.i. of 15 MBq 177Lu-octreotate. Receptor saturation was clearly observed in CLB-BAR, resulting in higher concentration levels in the tumor when lower activity levels where administered. IHC staining demonstrated highest expression of SSTR2 in CLB-GE, followed by CLB-BAR and IMR-32.ConclusionT/N values for all three human NB tumor xenograft types investigated were high relative to previously investigated neuroendocrine tumor types. The results indicate a clear potential of 177Lu-octreotate as a therapeutic alternative for metastatic NB.

Project description:Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) using radiolabeled somatostatin receptor (SSTR) analogs is a common approach in advanced neuroendocrine neoplasms. Recently, SSTR antagonists have shown promising results for imaging and therapy due to a higher number of binding sites than in commonly used agonists. We evaluated PRRT with SSTR agonist 177Lu-DOTATOC and antagonist 177Lu-DOTA-JR11 longitudinally in an orthotopic murine pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasm model expressing human SSTR2. Morphologic and metabolic changes during treatment were assessed using multimodal imaging, including hybrid PET/MRI and SPECT/CT. Methods: In vitro radioligand binding and internalization assays and cell-cycle analysis were performed. SSTR2-transfected BON cells (BON-SSTR2) were used for in vivo experiments. Tumor-bearing mice received 2 intravenous injections of 100 μL of saline, 30 MBq of 177Lu-DOTATOC, or 20 MBq of 177Lu-DOTA-JR11 with an interval of 3 wk. Weekly T2-weighted MRI was performed for tumor monitoring. Viability of the tumor tissue was assessed by 18F-FDG PET/MRI once after PRRT. Tumor and kidney uptake of the respective radiopharmaceuticals was measured 24 h after injection by SPECT/CT. Results: Compared with 177Lu-DOTATOC, 177Lu-DOTA-JR11 treatment resulted in an increased accumulation of cells in G2/M phase. Animals treated with the SSTR antagonist showed a significant reduction in tumor size (P < 0.001) and an increased median survival (207 d; interquartile range [IQR], 132-228) compared with 177Lu-DOTATOC (126 d; IQR, 118-129). SPECT/CT revealed a 4-fold higher median tumor uptake for the antagonist and a 3-fold higher tumor-to-kidney ratio in the first treatment cycle. During the second therapy cycle, tumor uptake of 177Lu-DOTATOC was significantly lower (P = 0.01) whereas 177Lu-DOTA-JR11 uptake remained stable. Imaging of tumor morphology indicated comparatively larger necrotic fractions for 177Lu-DOTA-JR11 despite further tumor growth. These results were confirmed by 18F-FDG PET, revealing the least amount of viable tumor tissue in 177Lu-DOTA-JR11-treated animals, at 6.2% (IQR, 2%-23%). Conclusion: 177Lu-DOTA-JR11 showed a higher tumor-to-kidney ratio and a more pronounced cytotoxic effect than did 177Lu-DOTATOC. Additionally, tumor uptake was more stable over the course of 2 treatment cycles.

Project description:BackgroundThe [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE mediated peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) is sometimes leading to treatment resistance and disease recurrence. An interesting alternative could be the somatostatin antagonist, [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-JR11, that demonstrated better biodistribution profile and higher tumor uptake than [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE. Furthermore, treatment with alpha emitters showed improvement of the therapeutic index of PRRT due to the high LET offered by the alpha particles compared to beta emitters. Therefore, [225Ac]Ac-DOTA-JR11 can be a potential candidate to improve the treatment of NETs (Graphical abstract). DOTA-JR11 was radiolabeled with [225Ac]Ac(NO3)3 and [177Lu]LuCl3. Stability studies were performed in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) and mouse serum. In vitro competitive binding assay has been carried out in U2OS-SSTR2 + cells for natLa-DOTA-JR11, natLu-DOTA-JR11 and DOTA-JR11. Ex vivo biodistribution studies were performed in mice inoculated with H69 cells at 4, 24, 48 and 72 h after injection of [225Ac]Ac-DOTA-JR11. A blocking group was included to verify uptake specificity. Dosimetry of selected organs was determined for [225Ac]Ac-DOTA-JR11 and [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-JR11.Results[225Ac]Ac-DOTA-JR11 has been successfully prepared and obtained in high radiochemical yield (RCY; 95%) and radiochemical purity (RCP; 94%). [225Ac]Ac-DOTA-JR11 showed reasonably good stability in PBS (77% intact radiopeptide at 24 h after incubation) and in mouse serum (~ 81% intact radiopeptide 24 h after incubation). [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-JR11 demonstrated excellent stability in both media (> 93%) up to 24 h post incubation. Competitive binding assay revealed that complexation of DOTA-JR11 with natLa and natLu did not affect its binding affinity to SSTR2. Similar biodistribution profiles were observed for both radiopeptides, however, higher uptake was noticed in the kidneys, liver and bone for [225Ac]Ac-DOTA-JR11 than [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-JR11.Conclusion[225Ac]Ac-DOTA-JR11 showed a higher absorbed dose in the kidneys compared to [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-JR11, which may limit further studies with this radiopeptide. However, several strategies can be explored to reduce nephrotoxicity and offer opportunities for future clinical investigations with [225Ac]Ac-DOTA-JR11.
