Nephrotoxicity after radionuclide therapies. Transl Oncol 2021; 15:101295.

Abstract
Nuclear medicine theranostics have demonstrated success with a favourable safety and efficacy profile in several malignancies. Kidneys being the primary excretory organ for most therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals are at risk of increased radiation exposure. Recognition of the mechanisms of radiation induced nephropathy and associated risk factors can help in the development of appropriate interventions to prevent and limit renal toxicity. Developments in reducing chronic radiation nephropathy following radionuclide therapies will help in avoiding the related morbidities, preserving the overall quality of life.
Radioligand therapies have opened new treatment avenues for cancer patients. They offer precise tumor targeting with a favorable efficacy-to-toxicity profile. Specifically, the kidneys, once regarded as the critical organ for radiation toxicity, also show excellent tolerance to radiation doses as high as 50–60 Gy in selected cases. However, the number of nephrons that form the structural and functional units of the kidney is determined before birth and is fixed. Thus, loss of nephrons secondary to any injury may lead to an irreversible decline in renal function over time. Our primary understanding of radiation-induced nephropathy is derived from the effects of external beam radiation on the renal tissue. With the growing adoption of radionuclide therapies, considerable evidence has been gained with regard to the occurrence of renal toxicity and its associated risk factors. In this review, we discuss the radionuclide therapies associated with the risk of nephrotoxicity, the present understanding of the factors and mechanisms that contribute to renal injury, and the current and potential methods for preventing, identifying, and managing nephrotoxicity, specifically acute onset nephropathies.

Overcoming nephrotoxicity in peptide receptor radionuclide therapy using [ 177Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE for the treatment of neuroendocrine tumours. Nucl Med Biol 2021; 102-103:1-11. [PMID: 34242948 DOI: 10.1016/j.nucmedbio.2021.06.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2021] [Revised: 06/21/2021] [Accepted: 06/21/2021] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) is used for the treatment of patients with unresectable or metastasized somatostatin receptor type 2 (SSTR2)-expressing gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (GEP-NETs). The radiolabelled somatostatin analogue [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE delivers its radiation dose to SSTR2-overexpressing tumour cells, resulting in selective cell killing during radioactive decay. While tumour control can be achieved in many patients, complete remissions remain rare, causing the majority of patients to relapse after a certain period of time. This raises the question whether the currently fixed treatment regime (4 × 7.4 GBq) leaves room for dose escalation as a means of improving therapy efficacy. The kidneys have shown to play an important role in defining a patient's tolerability to PRRT. As a consequence of the proximal tubular reabsorption of [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE, via the endocytic megalin/cubilin receptor complex, the radionuclides are retained in the renal interstitium. This results in extended retention of radioactivity in the kidneys, generating a risk for the development of radiation nephropathy. In addition, a decreased kidney function has shown to be associated with a prolonged circulation of [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE, causing increased irradiation to the bone marrow. This can on its turn lead to myelosuppression and haematological toxicity, owing to the marked radio sensitivity of the rapidly proliferating cells in the bone marrow. In contrast to external beam radiotherapy (EBRT), the exact absorbed dose limits for these critical organs (kidneys and bone marrow) in PRRT with [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE are still unclear. Better insights into these uncertainties, can help in optimizing PRRT to reach its maximum therapeutic potential, while avoiding severe adverse events, like nephropathy and hematologic toxicities. In this review we focus on the nephrotoxic effects of PRRT with [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE for the treatment of GEP-NETs. If the absorbed dose to the kidneys can be lowered, higher activities can be administered, enlarging the therapeutic window for PRRT. Therefore, we evaluated the renal protective potential of current and promising future strategies and discuss the importance of (renal) dosimetry in PRRT.

[PMID: 30926632 DOI: 10.1158/1535-7163.mct-18-1103] [Citation(s) in RCA: 41] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2018] [Revised: 11/29/2018] [Accepted: 03/15/2019] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Somatostatin analogues have been examined as a treatment for somatostatin receptor overexpressing tumors for years; specifically, octreotate (TATE) and octreotide (TOC). Several versions of these analogues coupled to beta or gamma nuclides are currently used as imaging agents, as treatments with peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) for patients with neuroendocrine tumors or are being explored in preclinical and clinical settings. Our study describes the use of 212Pb-DOTAMTATE, the octreotate analogue, in combination with 212Pb, the parent of an alpha emitter. Preclinical studies demonstrated tumor targeting of 212Pb-DOTAMTATE of >20% ID/g up to 24 hours post drug injection. The addition of kidney protection agents, including l-lysine and l-arginine decreases drug accumulation in the kidneys and the addition of ascorbic acid to the chelation mixture reduces oxidation of the drug product. 212Pb-DOTAMTATE displays a favorable toxicity profile with single-dose injections of 20 μCi showing 100% survival and with nontoxic cumulative doses up to 45 μCi, when fractionated into three smaller doses of 15 μCi. In an initial efficacy study, a single 10 μCi injection of 212Pb-DOTAMTATE extended the mean survival 2.4-fold. Efficacy was enhanced by giving three treatment cycles of 212Pb-DOTAMTATE and reducing the time between injections to two weeks. Efficacy was optimized further by the addition of a chemo-sensitizing agent, 5-fluorouracil, given in combination with three cycles of 10 μCi 212Pb-DOTAMTATE. These conditions led to 79% of the animals being tumor free at the end of the 31-week study suggesting that 212Pb-DOTAMTATE alone or in combination with a chemotherapeutic may have positive clinical implications.

Abstract
Metformin is the most widely prescribed drug for type 2 diabetes. Chemically, metformin is a hydrophilic base that functions as an organic cation, suggesting that it may have the capacity to inhibit the tubular reabsorption of peptide radiotracers. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether metformin could reduce renal uptake of peptidyl radiotracers and serve as a radioprotective agent for peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT). METHODS We used two radiolabeled peptides: a 68Ga-labeled cyclic (TNYL-RAW) peptide (68Ga-NOTA-c(TNYL-RAW) (NOTA: 1,4,7 triazacyclononane-1,4,7-trisacetic acid) targeting EphB4 receptors and an 111In- or 64Cu-labeled octreotide (111In/64Cu-DOTA-octreotide) (DOTA: 1,4,7,10 triazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid) targeting somatostatin receptors. Each radiotracer was injected intravenously into normal Swiss mice or tumor-bearing nude mice in the presence or absence of metformin administered intravenously or orally. Micropositron emission tomography or microsingle-photon emission computed tomography images were acquired at different times after radiotracer injection, and biodistribution studies were performed at the end of the imaging session. To assess the radioprotective effect of metformin on the kidneys, normal Swiss mice received two doses of 111In-DOTA-octreotidein the presence or absence of metformin, and renal function was analyzed via blood chemistry and histology. RESULTS Intravenous injection of metformin with 68Ga-NOTA-c(TNYL-RAW) or 111In-DOTA-octreotide reduced the renal uptake of the radiotracer by 60% and 35%, respectively, compared to uptake without metformin. These reductions were accompanied by greater uptake in the tumors for both radiolabeled peptides. Moreover, the renal uptake of 111In-DOTA-octreotide was significantly reduced when metformin was administered via oral gavage. Significantly more radioactivity was recovered in the urine collected over a period of 24 h after intravenous injection of 64Cu-DOTA-octreotide in mice that received oral metformin than in mice that received vehicle. Finally, coadministration of 111In-DOTA-octreotide with metformin mitigated radio-nephrotoxicity. CONCLUSION Metformin inhibits kidney uptake of peptidyl radiotracers, protecting the kidney from nephrotoxicity. Further studies are needed to elucidate the mechanisms of these finding and to optimize mitigation of radiation-induced damage to kidney in PRRT.

Hyperkalemia in patients treated with endoradiotherapy combined with amino acid infusion is associated with severe metabolic acidosis. EJNMMI Res 2018; 8:17.

Abstract
Background Amino acid co-infusion for renal protection in endoradiotherapy (ERT) applied as prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeted radioligand therapy (RLT) or peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) has been shown to cause severe hyperkalemia. The pathophysiology behind the rapid development of hyperkalemia is not well understood. We hypothesized that the hyperkalemia should be associated with metabolic acidosis. Results Twenty-two patients underwent ERT. Prior to the first cycle, excretory kidney function was assessed by mercapto-acetyltriglycine (MAG-3) renal scintigraphy, serum biochemistry, and calculated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). All patients received co-infusion of the cationic amino acids L-arginine and L-lysine for nephroprotection. Clinical symptoms, electrolytes, and acid-base status were evaluated at baseline and after 4 h. No patient developed any clinically relevant side effects. At baseline, acid base status and electrolytes were normal in all patients. Excretory kidney function was normal or only mildly impaired in all except two patients with stage 3 renal insufficiency. All patients developed hyperkalemia. Base excess and HCO3− were significantly lower after 4 h. In parallel, mean pH dropped from 7.36 to 7.29. There was a weak association between calculated (r = − 0.21) as well as MAG-3-derived GFR (r = − 0.32) and the rise in potassium after 4 h. Conclusion Amino acid co-infusion during ERT leads to severe metabolic acidosis which induces hyperkalemia by potassium hydrogen exchange. This novel finding implies that commercially available bicarbonate solutions might be an easy therapeutic option to correct metabolic acidosis rapidly.

Abstract
Theranostics labeled with Y-90 or Lu-177 are highly efficient therapeutic approaches for the systemic treatment of various cancers including neuroendocrine tumors and prostate cancer. Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) has been used for many years for metastatic or inoperable neuroendocrine tumors. However, renal and hematopoietic toxicities are the major limitations for this therapeutic approach. Kidneys have been considered as the "critical organ" because of the predominant glomerular filtration, tubular reabsorption by the proximal tubules, and interstitial retention of the tracers. Severe nephrotoxity, which has been classified as grade 4-5 based on the "Common Terminology Criteria on Adverse Events," was reported in the range from 0%-14%. There are several risk factors for renal toxicity; patient-related risk factors include older age, preexisting renal disease, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, previous nephrotoxic chemotherapy, metastatic lesions close to renal parenchyma, and single kidney. There are also treatment-related issues, such as choice of radionuclide, cumulative radiation dose to kidneys, renal radiation dose per cycle, activity administered, number of cycles, and time interval between cycles. In the literature, nephrotoxicity caused by PRRT was documented using different criteria and renal function tests, from serum creatinine level to more accurate and sophisticated methods. Generally, serum creatinine level was used as a measure of kidney function. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimation based on serum creatinine was preferred by several authors. Most commonly used formulas for estimation of GFR are "Modifications of Diet in Renal Disease" (MDRD) equation and "Cockcroft-Gault" formulas. However, more precise methods than creatinine or creatinine clearance are recommended to assess renal function, such as GFR measurements using Tc-99m-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA), Cr-51-ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), or measurement of Tc-99m-MAG3 clearance, particularly in patients with preexisting risk factors for long-term nephrotoxicity. Proximal tubular reabsorption and interstitial retention of tracers result in excessive renal irradiation. Coinfusion of positively charged amino acids, such as l-lysine and l-arginine, is recommended to decrease the renal retention of the tracers by inhibiting the proximal tubular reabsorption. Furthermore, nephrotoxicity may be reduced by dose fractionation. Patient-specific dosimetric studies showed that renal biological effective dose of <0Gy was safe for patients without any risk factors. A renal threshold value <28Gy was recommended for patients with risk factors. Despite kidney protection, renal function impairment can occur after PRRT, especially in patients with risk factors and high single or cumulative renal absorbed dose. Therefore, patient-specific dosimetry may be helpful in minimizing the renal absorbed dose while maximizing the tumor dose. In addition, close and accurate renal function monitoring using more precise methods, rather than plasma creatinine levels, is essential to diagnose the early renal functional changes and to follow-up the renal function during the treatment.

Abstract
The present study was aimed at investigating the effect of amifostine on myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury of mice and H9c2 cells cultured with TBHP (tert-butyl hydroperoxide). The results showed that pretreatment with amifostine significantly attenuated cell apoptosis and death, accompanied by decreased reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and lower mitochondrial potential (ΔΨm). In vivo, amifostine pretreatment alleviated I/R injury and decreased myocardial apoptosis and infarct area, which was paralleled by increased superoxide dismutase (SOD) and reduced malondialdehyde (MDA) in myocardial tissues, increased Bcl2 expression, decreased Bax expression, lower cleaved caspase-3 level, fewer TUNEL positive cells, and fewer DHE-positive cells in heart. Our results indicate that amifostine pretreatment has a protective effect against myocardial I/R injury via scavenging ROS.

Abstract
Background Several radiometal-labeled, exendin-based tracers that target glucagon-like peptide-1 receptors (GLP-1R) have been intensively explored for β cell imaging. The main obstacle has been the high uptake of tracer in the kidneys. This study aimed to develop a novel GLP1-R-specific tracer, with fluorine-18 attached to exendin-4, to label β cells for clinical imaging with PET (positron emission tomography). We hypothesized that this tracer would undergo reduced kidney uptake. 18F-labeled [Nle14,Lys40]exendin-4 analog ([18F]exendin-4) was produced via Cu-catalyzed click chemistry. The biodistribution of [18F]exendin-4 was assessed with ex vivo organ γ-counting and in vivo PET imaging. We also tested the in vivo stability of the radiotracer. The localization of 18F radioactivity in rat and human pancreatic tissue sections was investigated with autoradiography. Receptor specificity was assessed with unlabeled exendin-3. Islet labeling was confirmed with immunohistochemistry. The doses of radiation in humans were estimated based on biodistribution results in rats. Results [18F]exendin-4 was synthesized with high yield and high specific activity. Results showed specific, sustained [18F]exendin-4 uptake in pancreatic islets. In contrast to previous studies that tested radiometal-labeled exendin-based tracers, we observed rapid renal clearance of [18F]exendin-4. Conclusions [18F]exendin-4 showed promise as a tracer for clinical imaging of pancreatic β cells, due to its high specific uptake in native β cells and its concomitant low kidney radioactivity uptake.

Abstract
Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) has been in clinical use for 15 years to treat metastatic neuroendocrine tumors. PRRT is limited by reabsorption and retention of the administered radiolabeled somatostatin analogues in the proximal tubule. Consequently, it is essential to develop and employ methods to protect the kidneys during PRRT. Today, infusion of positively charged amino acids is the standard method of kidney protection. Other methods, such as administration of amifostine, are still under evaluation and show promising results. α1-microglobulin (A1M) is a reductase and radical scavenging protein ubiquitously present in plasma and extravascular tissue. Human A1M has antioxidation properties and has been shown to prevent radiation-induced in vitro cell damage and protect non-irradiated surrounding cells. It has recently been shown in mice that exogenously infused A1M and the somatostatin analogue octreotide are co-localized in proximal tubules of the kidney after intravenous infusion. In this review we describe the current situation of kidney protection during PRRT, discuss the necessity and implications of more precise dosimetry and present A1M as a new, potential candidate for renal protection during PRRT and related targeted radionuclide therapies.

Abstract
Preclinical imaging with SPECT combined with CT or MRI is used more and more frequently and has proven to be very useful in translational research. In this article, an overview of current preclinical research applications and trends of SPECT combined with CT or MRI, mainly in tumour imaging and neuroscience imaging, is given and the advantages and disadvantages of the different approaches are described. Today SPECT and CT systems are often integrated into a single device (commonly called a SPECT/CT system), whereas at present combined SPECT and MRI is almost always carried out with separate systems and fiducial markers to combine the separately acquired images. While preclinical SPECT/CT is most widely applied in oncology research, SPECT combined with MRI (SPECT/MRI when integrated in one system) offers the potential for both neuroscience applications and oncological applications. Today CT and MRI are still mainly used to localize radiotracer binding and to improve SPECT quantification, although both CT and MRI have additional potential. Future technology developments may include fast sequential or simultaneous acquisition of (dynamic) multimodality data, spectroscopy, fMRI along with high-resolution anatomic MRI, advanced CT procedures, and combinations of more than two modalities such as combinations of SPECT, PET, MRI and CT all together. This will all strongly depend on new technologies. With further advances in biology and chemistry for imaging molecular targets and (patho)physiological processes in vivo, the introduction of new imaging procedures and promising new radiopharmaceuticals in clinical practice may be accelerated.

Abstract
PURPOSE An important assumption in dosimetry prior to radionuclide therapy is the equivalence of pretherapeutic and therapeutic biodistribution. In this study the authors investigate if this assumption is justified in sst2-receptor targeting peptide therapy, as unequal amounts of peptide and different peptides for pretherapeutic measurements and therapy are commonly used. METHODS Physiologically based pharmacokinetic models were developed. Gamma camera and serum measurements of ten patients with metastasizing neuroendocrine tumors were conducted using (111)In-DTPAOC. The most suitable model was selected using the corrected Akaike information criterion. Based on that model and the estimated individual parameters, predicted and measured (90)Y-DOTATATE excretions during therapy were compared. The residence times for the pretherapeutic (measured) and therapeutic scenarios (simulated) were calculated. RESULTS Predicted and measured therapeutic excretion differed in three patients by 10%, 31%, and 7%. The measured pretherapeutic and therapeutic excretion differed by 53%, 56%, and 52%. The simulated therapeutic residence times of kidney and tumor were 3.1 ± 0.6 and 2.5 ± 1.2 fold higher than the measured pretherapeutic ones. CONCLUSIONS To avoid the introduction of unnecessary inaccuracy in dosimetry, using the same substance along with the same amount for pretherapeutic measurements and therapy is recommended.
