FDG PET/CT and Dosimetric Studies of ¹⁷⁷Lu-Lilotomab Satetraxetan in a First-in-Human Trial for Relapsed Indolent non-Hodgkin Lymphoma-Are We Hitting the Target?

ABSTRACT:

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.

Procedures

Fifteen 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).

Results

Significant 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).

Conclusion

tTAD 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:Purpose177Lu-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.MethodsForty-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. SUVmax, MTV, TLG, and changes in these parameters were calculated for each tumor. Lesion response was evaluated at 3 and 6 months (PET3months and PET6months) 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).ResultsTumor-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 ΔSUVmax-3months 61%, ΔMTV3months 80%, and ΔTLG3months 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.ConclusionOur 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.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov Identifier (NCT01796171).

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:Tumor dosimetry was performed for 177Lu-DOTATATE with the aims of better understanding the range and variation of the tumor-absorbed doses (ADs), how different dosimetric quantities evolve over the treatment cycles, and whether this evolution differs depending on the tumor grade. Such information is important for radiobiologic interpretation and may inform the design of alternative administration schemes. Methods: The data came from 41 patients with neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) of grade 1 (n = 23) or 2 (n = 18) who had received between 2 and 9 treatment cycles. Dosimetry was performed for 182 individual lesions, giving a total of 880 individual AD assessments across all cycles. Hybrid planar-SPECT/CT imaging was used, including quantitative SPECT reconstruction, voxel-based absorbed-dose-rate calculation, semiautomatic image segmentation, and partial-volume correction. Linear mixed-effect models were used to analyze changes in tumor ADs over cycles, absorbed-dose rates and activity concentrations on day 1, effective half-times, and tumor volumes. Tumors smaller than 8 cm3 were excluded from analyses. Results: Tumor ADs ranged between 2 and 77 Gy per cycle. On average, the AD decreased over the cycles, with significantly different rates (P < 0.05) of 6% and 14% per cycle for grade 1 and 2 NETs, respectively. The absorbed-dose rates and activity concentrations on day 1 decreased by similar amounts. The effective half-times were less variable but shorter for grade 2 than for grade 1 (P < 0.001). For grade 2 NETs, the tumor volumes decreased, with a similar tendency in grade 1. Conclusion: The tumor AD, absorbed-dose rate, and activity uptake decrease, in parallel with tumor volumes, between 177Lu-DOTATATE treatment cycles, particularly for grade 2 NETs. The effective half-times vary less but are lower for grade 2 than grade 1 NETs. These results may indicate the development of radiation-induced fibrosis and could have implications for the design of future treatment and dosimetry protocols.

Project description:BackgroundRadiohybrid PSMA-targeted ligands (rhPSMA) have been introduced as a novel platform for theranostic applications. Among a variety of rhPSMA-ligands developed for radioligand therapy, two stereoisomers [177Lu]Lu-rhPSMA-10.1 and -10.2 have been synthesized and initially characterized in preclinical experiments with the aim to provide an optimized binding profile to human serum albumin, a reduction of charge, and thus accelerated kidney excretion, and unaffected or even improved tumor uptake. As both isomers showed similar in vitro characteristics and tumor uptake at 24 h post injection in tumor bearing mice and in order to identify the isomer with the most favorable pharmacokinetics for radioligand therapy, we carried out in-depth biodistribution and dosimetry studies in tumor-bearing and healthy mice.ResultsrhPSMA-10.1 and -10.2 were radiolabeled with lutetium-177 according to the established procedures of other DOTA-based PSMA ligands and displayed a high and comparable stability in all buffers and human serum (> 97%, 24 h). Biodistribution studies revealed fast clearance from the blood pool (0.3-0.6%ID/g at 1 h) and other background tissues within 48 h. Distinctive differences were found in the kidneys, where [177Lu]Lu-rhPSMA-10.1 displayed lower initial uptake and faster excretion kinetics compared to [177Lu]Lu-rhPSMA-10.2 expressed by a 1.5-fold and ninefold lower uptake value at 1 h and 24 h in healthy animals, respectively. Tumor uptake was comparable and in the range of 8.6-11.6%ID/g for both isomers over 24 h and was maintained up to 168 h at a level of 2.2 ± 0.8 and 4.1 ± 1.4%ID/g for [177Lu]Lu-rhPSMA-10.1 and [177Lu]Lu-rhPSMA-10.2, respectively.ConclusionOur preclinical data on biodistribution and dosimetry indicate a more favorable profile of [177Lu]Lu-rhPSMA-10.1 compared to [177Lu]Lu-rhPSMA-10.2 for PSMA-targeted radioligand therapy. [177Lu]Lu-rhPSMA-10.1 shows fast kidney clearance kinetics resulting in excellent tumor-to-organ ratios over a therapy relevant time course. Meanwhile, [177Lu]Lu-rhPSMA-10.1 is currently being investigated in clinical phase I/II studies in patients with mCRPC (NCT05413850), in patients with high-risk localized PC (NCT06066437, Nautilus Trial) and after external beam radiotherapy (NCT06105918).

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.
