Efficacy and Safety of 177Lu-DOTATATE in Lung Neuroendocrine Tumors: A Bicenter study. [2022]The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of 177Lu-DOTATATE in patients with somatostatin receptor (SSR)-positive lung neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). Methods: This is a retrospective review of the outcome of patients with typical carcinoid (TC) and atypical carcinoid (AC), treated with 177Lu-DOTATATE at 2 ENETS Centers of Excellence. Morphologic imaging (RECIST 1.1) and 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT responses were assessed at 3 mo after completion of 177Lu-DOTATATE. Concordance between 2 response assessment methods was evaluated by κ statistics. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were estimated by Kaplan-Meier analysis and compared by Log-rank test. Treatment-related adverse events (AEs) were graded based on Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, version 5. Results: Of 48 patients (median age, 63 y; 13 women), 43 (90%) had AC and 5 (10%) TC. Almost all patients (47, 98%) were treated due to progression. Most patients (40, 83%) received somatostatin analogs, and 10 patients (20%) had prior everolimus, chemotherapy, or both. All patients had high SSR expression (≥ modified Krenning score 3) on pretreatment 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT. Patients received a median 4 (range, 1-4) cycles of 177Lu-DOTATATE (33% with concurrent radiosensitizing chemotherapy) to a median cumulative activity of 27 GBq (range, 6-43GBq). At a median follow-up of 42 mo, the median PFS and OS were 23 mo (95% CI, 18-28 mo) and 59 mo (95% CI, 50-not reached [NR]), respectively. Of 40 patients with RECIST-measurable disease and 39 patients with available 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT, response categories were partial response, 20% (95% CI, 10%-35%) and 44% (95% CI, 30%-59%); stable disease, 68% (95% CI, 52%-80%) and 44% (95% CI, 30%-59%); and progressive disease, 12% (95% CI, 5%-27%) by both, respectively. There was a moderate concordance between response categories by RECIST and 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT, weighted κ of 0.51 (95% CI, 0.21-0.68). Of patients with stable disease by RECIST, those with partial response on 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT had a longer OS than those with no response, NR versus 52 mo (95% CI, 28-64), hazard ratio 0.2 (95% CI, 0.1-0.6), P < 0.001. Most grade 3/4 AEs were reversible and the most common was lymphopenia (14%) with no incidence of myelodysplasia or leukemia. Conclusion: In patients with advanced progressive lung NET and satisfactory SSR expression, 177Lu-DOTATATE is effective and safe with a high disease control rate and encouraging PFS and OS.
Long-Term Efficacy, Survival, and Safety of [177Lu-DOTA0,Tyr3]octreotate in Patients with Gastroenteropancreatic and Bronchial Neuroendocrine Tumors. [2022]Purpose: Bronchial and gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NET) are slow-growing tumors, which frequently express somatostatin receptors on their cell membranes. These receptors are targets for therapy with Lutetium-177-labeled somatostatin analogues. We have treated over 1,200 patients with peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) with [177Lu-DOTA0,Tyr3]octreotate (177Lu-DOTATATE) since the year 2000 and present the results on efficacy, survival, and toxicity of this therapy.Experimental Design: For safety analysis, 610 patients treated with a cumulative dose of at least 100 mCi (3.7 GBq) 177Lu-DOTATATE were included. A subgroup of 443 Dutch patients who were treated with a cumulative dose of at least 600 mCi (22.2 GBq) 177Lu-DOTATATE before 2013 was further analyzed for efficacy and survival.Results: The objective response rate of the total group of patients was 39%. Stable disease was reached in 43% of patients. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) for all NET patients were 29 months [95% confidence interval (CI), 26-33 months] and 63 months (95% CI, 55-72 months). Long-term toxicity included acute leukemia in four patients (0.7%) and myelodysplastic syndrome in nine patients (1.5%). No therapy-related long-term renal or hepatic failure occurred.Conclusions: PRRT with 177Lu-DOTATATE is a favorable therapeutic option in patients with metastatic bronchial and gastroenteropancreatic NETs that express somatostatin receptors. PRRT with 177Lu-DOTATATE is safe with few side-effects and shows good response rates with PFS of 29 months and OS of 63 months. Clin Cancer Res; 23(16); 4617-24. ©2017 AACR.
Individualized peptide-related-radionuclide-therapy concept using different radiolabelled somatostatin analogs in advanced cancer patients. [2016]Over the last decade, somatostatin (SST) receptor (R)-positive tumors have been treated using either (90)Y-DOTA-TOC, (177)Lu-DOTA-TATE or (90)Y-DOTA-LAN/(177)Lu-DOTA-LAN, at the Innsbruck Medical University. This report presents data from the evaluation of the initial 100 patients receiving receptor mediated radionuclide therapy (PRRT) according to our protocol.
Quality of life in patients with gastroenteropancreatic tumors treated with [177Lu-DOTA0,Tyr3]octreotate. [2013]To evaluate the quality of life (QoL) in patients with metastatic somatostatin receptor positive gastroenteropancreatic tumors treated with [(177)Lu-DOTA(0),Tyr(3)]octreotate ((177)Lu-octreotate) therapy.
Best Practices for the Coordinated Care of Patients With Neuroendocrine Tumors Undergoing Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy. [2023]Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are rare, diverse malignancies; approximately two thirds originate in the gastrointestinal tract and pancreas and are known as gastroenteropancreatic NET. Most cases are diagnosed in the advanced or metastatic setting and overexpress somatostatin receptors. Recommended first-line treatment is somatostatin analogs; however, disease progression is common. [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE is a radiolabeled peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) indicated for the treatment of adult patients with somatostatin receptor-positive foregut, midgut, and hindgut gastroenteropancreatic NETs and progression on first-line somatostatin analogs. Many primary oncology practices may lack the staff, expertise, and infrastructure to treat patients with PRRT and primary oncologists may therefore refer their patients to a NET specialist at a tertiary center for treatment. Given the amount of organization required, PRRT treatment may seem to be complex; however, this process will be managed by a care coordinator who acts as a consistent point of contact for primary physicians regarding the care of their patients and ensures blood tests and scans are scheduled. In this article, we share our opinions, procedures, workflow, best practice, and roles and responsibilities when caring for patients receiving [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE and focus on the role of the primary oncologist before, during, and after PRRT treatment.
Anti-tumor effect of integrin targeted (177)Lu-3PRGD2 and combined therapy with Endostar. [2021]Targeted radiotherapy (TRT) is an emerging approach for tumor treatment. Previously, 3PRGD2 (a dimeric RGD peptide with 3 PEG4 linkers) has been demonstrated to be of advantage for integrin αvβ3 targeting. Given the promising results of (99m)Tc-3PRGD2 for lung cancer detection in human beings, we are encouraged to investigate the radiotherapeutic efficacy of radiolabeled 3PRGD2. The goal of this study was to investigate and optimize the integrin αvβ3 mediated therapeutic effect of (177)Lu-3PRGD2 in the animal model.
Combined biology-guided radiotherapy and Lutetium PSMA theranostics treatment in metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer. [2023]Label="Background" NlmCategory="UNASSIGNED">Lutetium-177 [177Lu]-PSMA-617 is a targeted radioligand that binds to prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) and delivers radiation to metastatic prostate cancer. The presence of PSMA-negative/FDG-positive metastases can preclude patients from being eligible for this treatment. Biology-guided radiotherapy (BgRT) is a treatment modality that utilises tumour PET emissions to guide external beam radiotherapy. The feasibility of combining BgRT and Lutetium-177 [177Lu]-PSMA-617 for patients with PSMA-negative/FDG-positive metastatic prostate cancer was explored.
Theranostic pretargeted radioimmunotherapy of internalizing solid tumor antigens in human tumor xenografts in mice: Curative treatment of HER2-positive breast carcinoma. [2020]In recent reports, we have shown that optimized pretargeted radioimmunotherapy (PRIT) based on molecularly engineered antibody conjugates and 177Lu-DOTA chelate (DOTA-PRIT) can be used to cure mice bearing human solid tumor xenografts using antitumor antibodies to minimally internalizing membrane antigens, GPA33 (colon) and GD2 (neuroblastoma). However, many solid tumor membrane antigens are internalized after antibody binding and it is generally believed that internalizing tumor membrane antigens are not suitable targets for PRIT. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that DOTA-PRIT can be performed successfully to target HER2, an internalizing membrane antigen widely expressed in breast, ovarian, and gastroesophageal junction cancers. Methods: DOTA-PRIT was carried out in athymic nude mice bearing BT-474 xenografts, a HER2-expressing human breast cancer, using a three-step dosing regimen consisting of sequential intravenous administrations of: 1) a bispecific IgG-scFv (210 kD) format (BsAb) carrying the IgG sequence of the anti-HER2 antibody trastuzumab and the scFv "C825" with high-affinity, hapten-binding antibody for Bn-DOTA (metal) (BsAb: anti-HER2-C825), 2) a 500 kD dextran-based clearing agent, followed by 3) 177Lu-DOTA-Bn. At the time of treatment, athymic nude mice bearing established subcutaneous BT-474 tumors (medium- and smaller-sized tumors with tumor volumes of 209 ± 101 mm3 and ranging from palpable to 30 mm3, respectively), were studied along with controls. We studied single- and multi-dose regimens. For groups receiving fractionated treatment, we verified quantitative tumor targeting during each treatment cycle using non-invasive imaging with single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT). Results: We achieved high therapeutic indices (TI, the ratio of radiation-absorbed dose in tumor to radiation-absorbed dose to critical organs, such as bone marrow) for targeting in blood (TI = 28) and kidney (TI = 7), while delivering average radiation-absorbed doses of 39.9 cGy/MBq to tumor. Based on dosimetry estimates, we implemented a curative fractionated therapeutic regimen for medium-sized tumors that would deliver approximately 70 Gy to tumors, which required treatment with a total of 167 MBq 177Lu-DOTA-Bn/mouse (estimated absorbed tumor dose: 66 Gy). This regimen was well tolerated and achieved 100% complete responses (CRs; defined herein as tumor volume equal to or smaller than 4.2 mm3), including 62.5% histologic cure (5/8) and 37.5% microscopic residual disease (3/8) at 85 days (d). Treatment controls showed tumor progression to 207 ± 201% of pre-treatment volume at 85 d and no CRs. Finally, we show that treatment with this curative 177Lu regimen leads to a very low incidence of histopathologic abnormalities in critical organs such as bone marrow and kidney among survivors compared with non-treated controls. Conclusion: Contrary to popular belief, we demonstrate that DOTA-PRIT can be successfully adapted to an internalizing antigen-antibody system such as HER2, with sufficient TIs and absorbed tumor doses to achieve a high probability of cures of established human breast cancer xenografts while sparing critical organs of significant radiotoxicity.
New Horizons in Radioligand Therapy: 161Tb-PSMA-617 in Advanced mCRPC. [2023]An 85-year-old man with advanced metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer and progression after 8 cycles of 177 Lu-prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-617 radioligand therapy (RLT) received 1 cycle of 161 Tb-PSMA RLT. This one administration of 6.5 GBq 161 Tb-PSMA-617 resulted in impressive partial remission with a PSA decline by 53.4% (from 474 to 221 ng/mL) and a concomitant decrease in tumor burden on PSMA PET/CT imaging. The presented case provides stunning initial evidence of the therapeutic potential of 161 Tb-PSMA RLT in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, even in patients progressing after extensive 177 Lu-based RLT. 161 Tb-labeled PSMA ligands may thus offer a promising alternative to standard PSMA RLT.
Combined modality radioimmunotherapy for human prostate cancer xenografts with taxanes and 90yttrium-DOTA-peptide-ChL6. [2019]Therapy for prostate cancer in the PC3 tumor-nude mouse model with 90yttrium-(90Y)-DOTA-peptide-ChL6 (5.55 MBq;150 microCi) has resulted in durable responses. To make radioimmunotherapy (RIT) more effective, the radiation-enhancing drugs Taxol (paclitaxel) and Taxotere (docetaxel) were tested for synergy with 90Y-DOTA-peptide-ChL6.
