P53 stabilisation potentiates [¹⁷⁷Lu]Lu-DOTATATE treatment in neuroblastoma xenografts.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Molecular radiotherapy is a treatment modality that is highly suitable for targeting micrometastases and [¹⁷⁷Lu]Lu-DOTATATE is currently being explored as a potential novel treatment option for high-risk neuroblastoma. p53 is a key player in the proapoptotic signalling in response to radiation-induced DNA damage and is therefore a potential target for radiosensitisation.

Methods

This study investigated the use of the p53 stabilising peptide VIP116 and [¹⁷⁷Lu]Lu-DOTATATE, either alone or in combination, for treatment of neuroblastoma tumour xenografts in mice. Initially, the uptake of [¹⁷⁷Lu]Lu-DOTATATE in the tumours was confirmed, and the efficacy of VIP116 as a monotherapy was evaluated. Subsequently, mice with neuroblastoma tumour
