Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is an uncommon subcategory of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Pathogenesis primarily includes overexpression of <i>CCND1</i> and <i>SOX11</i> along with other molecular aberrations. Lutetium <sup>177</sup>Lu-DOTATATE is a radiolabeled somatostatin analogue used for the treatment of gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumors. There are no clinical data supporting the use of Lutetium <sup>177</sup>Lu-DOTATATE in the treatment of lymphoma. We describe the case of an 84-year-old m ...[more]

Project description:PurposeMolecular 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.MethodsThis 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 xenografts were treated with placebo, VIP116, [177Lu]Lu-DOTATATE or a combination of both agents.ResultsThe results demonstrated that monotherapy with either VIP116 or [177Lu]Lu-DOTATATE significantly prolonged median survival compared to the placebo group (90 and 96.5 days vs. 50.5 days, respectively). Notably, the combination treatment further improved median survival to over 120 days. Furthermore, the combination group exhibited the highest percentage of complete remission, corresponding to a twofold increase compared to the placebo group. Importantly, none of the treatments induced significant nephrotoxicity. Additionally, the therapies affected various molecular targets involved in critical processes such as apoptosis, hypoxia and angiogenesis.ConclusionIn conclusion, the combination of VIP116 and [177Lu]Lu-DOTATATE presents a promising novel treatment approach for neuroblastoma. These findings hold potential to advance research efforts towards a potential cure for this vulnerable patient population.

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:PurposeTo present data from an interim analysis of a Phase II trial designed to determine the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of individualising treatment based on renal dosimetry, by giving as many cycles as possible within a maximum renal biologically effective dose (BED).MethodTreatment was given with repeated cycles of 7.4 GBq 177Lu-DOTATATE at 8-12-week intervals. Detailed dosimetry was performed in all patients after each cycle using a hybrid method (SPECT + planar imaging). All patients received treatment up to a renal BED of 27 ± 2 Gy (α/β = 2.6 Gy) (Step 1). Selected patients were offered further treatment up to a renal BED of 40 ± 2 Gy (Step 2). Renal function was followed by estimation and measurement of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR).ResultsFifty-one patients were included in the present analysis. Among the patients who received treatment as planned, the median number of cycles in Step 1 was 5 (range 3-7), and for those who completed Step 2 it was 7 (range 5-8); 73% were able to receive >4 cycles. Although GFR decreased in most patients after the completion of treatment, no grade 3-4 toxicity was observed. Patients with a reduced baseline GFR seemed to have an increased risk of GFR decline. Five patients received treatment in Step 2, none of whom exhibited a significant reduction in renal function.ConclusionsIndividualising PRRT using renal dosimetry seems feasible and safe and leads to an increased number of cycles in the majority of patients. The trial will continue as planned.

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:BackgroundPatients with advanced midgut neuroendocrine tumors who have had disease progression during first-line somatostatin analogue therapy have limited therapeutic options. This randomized, controlled trial evaluated the efficacy and safety of lutetium-177 (177Lu)-Dotatate in patients with advanced, progressive, somatostatin-receptor-positive midgut neuroendocrine tumors.MethodsWe randomly assigned 229 patients who had well-differentiated, metastatic midgut neuroendocrine tumors to receive either 177Lu-Dotatate (116 patients) at a dose of 7.4 GBq every 8 weeks (four intravenous infusions, plus best supportive care including octreotide long-acting repeatable [LAR] administered intramuscularly at a dose of 30 mg) (177Lu-Dotatate group) or octreotide LAR alone (113 patients) administered intramuscularly at a dose of 60 mg every 4 weeks (control group). The primary end point was progression-free survival. Secondary end points included the objective response rate, overall survival, safety, and the side-effect profile. The final analysis of overall survival will be conducted in the future as specified in the protocol; a prespecified interim analysis of overall survival was conducted and is reported here.ResultsAt the data-cutoff date for the primary analysis, the estimated rate of progression-free survival at month 20 was 65.2% (95% confidence interval [CI], 50.0 to 76.8) in the 177Lu-Dotatate group and 10.8% (95% CI, 3.5 to 23.0) in the control group. The response rate was 18% in the 177Lu-Dotatate group versus 3% in the control group (P<0.001). In the planned interim analysis of overall survival, 14 deaths occurred in the 177Lu-Dotatate group and 26 in the control group (P=0.004). Grade 3 or 4 neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and lymphopenia occurred in 1%, 2%, and 9%, respectively, of patients in the 177Lu-Dotatate group as compared with no patients in the control group, with no evidence of renal toxic effects during the observed time frame.ConclusionsTreatment with 177Lu-Dotatate resulted in markedly longer progression-free survival and a significantly higher response rate than high-dose octreotide LAR among patients with advanced midgut neuroendocrine tumors. Preliminary evidence of an overall survival benefit was seen in an interim analysis; confirmation will be required in the planned final analysis. Clinically significant myelosuppression occurred in less than 10% of patients in the 177Lu-Dotatate group.

Project description:Molecular radiotherapy using 177Lu-DOTATATE is a most effective treatment for somatostatin receptor-expressing neuroendocrine tumors. Despite its frequent and successful use in the clinic, little or no radiobiologic considerations are made at the time of treatment planning or delivery. On positive uptake on octreotide-based PET/SPECT imaging, treatment is usually administered as a standard dose and number of cycles without adjustment for peptide uptake, dosimetry, or radiobiologic and DNA damage effects in the tumor. Here, we visualized and quantified the extent of DNA damage response after 177Lu-DOTATATE therapy using SPECT imaging with 111In-anti-γH2AX-TAT. This work was a proof-of-principle study of this in vivo noninvasive biodosimeter with β-emitting therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals. Methods: Six cell lines were exposed to external-beam radiotherapy (EBRT) or 177Lu-DOTATATE, after which the number of γH2AX foci and the clonogenic survival were measured. Mice bearing CA20948 somatostatin receptor-positive tumor xenografts were treated with 177Lu-DOTATATE or sham-treated and coinjected with 111In-anti-γH2AX-TAT, 111In-IgG-TAT control, or vehicle. Results: Clonogenic survival after external-beam radiotherapy was cell-line-specific, indicating varying levels of intrinsic radiosensitivity. Regarding in vitro cell lines treated with 177Lu-DOTATATE, clonogenic survival decreased and γH2AX foci increased for cells expressing high levels of somatostatin receptor subtype 2. Ex vivo measurements revealed a partial correlation between 177Lu-DOTATATE uptake and γH2AX focus induction between different regions of CA20948 xenograft tumors, suggesting that different parts of the tumor may react differentially to 177Lu-DOTATATE irradiation. Conclusion: 111In-anti-γH2AX-TAT allows monitoring of DNA damage after 177Lu-DOTATATE therapy and reveals heterogeneous damage responses.

Project description:Peptide receptor radiotherapy using 177Lu-labeled somatostatin ligand analogs is a well-established treatment for neuroendocrine tumors, with 177Lu-DOTATATE having acquired marketing authorization in Europe and the United States. The investigation of the pharmacokinetics of these radiopharmaceuticals in vivo in humans is crucial for personalized treatment management and understanding of treatment effects. Such an investigation requires input data on the in vivo stability of the radiopharmaceuticals in blood and plasma. The work presented here is devoted to the investigation of the in vivo stability of 177Lu-DOTATATE in humans affected by neuroendocrine tumors. Methods: Blood samples of 6 patients undergoing 177Lu-DOTATATE were taken at 0.5, 4, 24, and 96 h after injection. Analysis of metabolic stability was performed using high-performance liquid chromatography. Results: A fast metabolism of the radiopharmaceutical was observed, with the fraction of intact 177Lu-DOTATATE in plasma decreasing rapidly to 23% ± 5% (mean ± SD) at 24 h and 1.7% ±0. 9% at 96 h after injection. Conclusion: The in vivo stability of 177Lu-DOTATATE is much lower than previously assumed, with the major part of radioactivity in plasma consisting of 177Lu-labeled metabolites already at 24 h after injection.

Project description:Intravenous 177Lu-high-affinity (HA)-DOTATATE has shown promising results for the treatment of surgery- and radiotherapy-refractory meningiomas. We aimed to investigate the added value of intraarterial administration. Methods: Patients underwent at least 1 intravenous 177Lu-HA-DOTATATE treatment first and subsequent intraarterial cycles. Inpatient and intrapatient comparison was based on posttreatment 177Lu-HA-DOTATATE imaging 24 h after injection. The technical success rate and adverse events were recorded. Results: Four patients provided informed consent. The technical success rate was 100%, and no angiography-related or unexpected adverse events occurred. Intrapatient comparison showed an increased target lesion accumulation on both planar imaging (mean, +220%) and SPECT/CT (mean, +398%) after intraarterial administration, compared with intravenous administration. No unexpected adverse events occurred during follow-up. Conclusion: Intraarterial peptide receptor radionuclide therapy significantly increases tracer accumulation and is a safe and promising improvement for salvage meningioma patients. Future prospective studies on intraarterial peptide receptor radionuclide therapy are needed to determine the gain in efficacy and survival.

Project description:We report the impact of 177Lu DOTATATE treatment on abdominal pain, diarrhea, and flushing, symptoms that patients with advanced midgut neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) often find burdensome. Methods: All patients enrolled in the international randomized phase 3 Neuroendocrine Tumors Therapy (NETTER-1) trial (177Lu-DOTATATE plus standard-dose octreotide long-acting repeatable [LAR], n = 117; high-dose octreotide LAR, n = 114) were asked to record the occurrence of predefined symptoms in a daily diary. Change from baseline in symptom scores (mean number of days with a symptom) was analyzed using a mixed model for repeated measures. Results: Patients (intent-to-treat) who received 177Lu-DOTATATE experienced a significantly greater decline from baseline in symptom scores than patients who received high-dose octreotide LAR. For 177Lu-DOTATATE, the mean decline in days with abdominal pain, diarrhea, and flushing was 4.10, 4.55, and 4.52 days per 4 weeks, respectively, compared with 0.99, 1.44, and 2.54 days for high-dose octreotide LAR. The mean differences were 3.11 days (95% confidence interval, 1.35-4.88; P = 0.0007) for abdominal pain, 3.11 days (1.18-5.04; P = 0.0017) for diarrhea, and 1.98 days (0.08-3.88; P = 0.0413) for flushing, favoring 177Lu-DOTATATE. A positive repeated measures correlation was found between diary-recorded symptom scores and questionnaire-recorded pain, diarrhea, and flushing. Conclusion: In addition to efficacy and quality of life benefits, symptom diaries from NETTER-1 demonstrated that treatment with 177Lu DOTATATE was associated with statistically significant reductions in abdominal pain, diarrhea, and flushing, constituting the core symptoms of patients with progressive midgut NETs, compared with high-dose octreotide LAR, supporting a beneficial effect of 177Lu DOTATATE on HRQoL.

Project description:BackgroundPrediction of [177Lu]Lu-HA-DOTATATE kidney and tumor uptake based on diagnostic [68Ga]Ga-HA-DOTATATE imaging would be a crucial step for precision dosing of [177Lu]Lu-HA-DOTATATE. In this study, the population pharmacokinetic (PK) differences between [177Lu]Lu-HA-DOTATATE and [68Ga]Ga-HA-DOTATATE were assessed and subsequently [177Lu]Lu-HA-DOTATATE was predicted based on [68Ga]Ga-HA-DOTATATE imaging.MethodsA semi-physiological nonlinear mixed-effects model was developed for [68Ga]Ga-HA-DOTATATE and [177Lu]Lu-HA-DOTATATE, including six compartments (representing blood, spleen, kidney, tumor lesions, other somatostatin receptor expressing organs and a lumped rest compartment). Model parameters were fixed based on a previously developed physiologically based pharmacokinetic model for [68Ga]Ga-HA-DOTATATE. For [177Lu]Lu-HA-DOTATATE, PK parameters were based on literature values or estimated based on scan data (four time points post-injection) from nine patients. Finally, individual [177Lu]Lu-HA-DOTATATE uptake into tumors and kidneys was predicted based on individual [68Ga]Ga-HA-DOTATATE scan data using Bayesian estimates. Predictions were evaluated compared to observed data using a relative prediction error (RPE) for both area under the curve (AUC) and absorbed dose. Lastly, to assess the predictive value of diagnostic imaging to predict therapeutic exposure, individual prediction RPEs (using Bayesian estimation) were compared to those from population predictions (using the population model).ResultsPopulation uptake rate parameters for spleen, kidney and tumors differed by a 0.29-fold (15% relative standard error (RSE)), 0.49-fold (15% RSE) and 1.43-fold (14% RSE), respectively, for [177Lu]Lu-HA-DOTATATE compared to [68Ga]Ga-HA-DOTATATE. Model predictions adequately described observed data in kidney and tumors for both peptides (based on visual inspection of goodness-of-fit plots). Individual predictions of tumor uptake were better (RPE AUC -40 to 28%) compared to kidney predictions (RPE AUC -53 to 41%). Absorbed dose predictions were less predictive for both tumor and kidneys (RPE tumor and kidney -51 to 44% and -58 to 82%, respectively). For most patients, [177Lu]Lu-HA-DOTATATE tumor accumulation predictions based on individual PK parameters estimated from diagnostic imaging outperformed predictions based on population parameters.ConclusionOur semi-physiological PK model indicated clear differences in PK parameters for [68Ga]Ga-HA-DOTATATE and [177Lu]Lu-HA-DOTATATE. Diagnostic images provided additional information to individually predict [177Lu]Lu-HA-DOTATATE tumor uptake compared to using a population approach. In addition, individual predictions indicated that many aspects, apart from PK differences, play a part in predicting [177Lu]Lu-HA-DOTATATE distribution.
