Abstract
PURPOSE This translational study aimed to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), safety, dosimetry, and therapeutic efficacy of 177Lu-PSMA-EB-01 (denoted as [177Lu]Lu-LNC1003) in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). METHODS A total of 13 patients with mCRPC were recruited in this study. A standard 3 + 3 dose escalation protocol was performed. The following dose levels were ultimately evaluated: 1.11, 1.85, and 2.59 GBq/cycle. Patients received [177Lu]Lu-LNC1003 therapy for up to two cycles at a 6-week interval. RESULTS Patients received fractionated doses of [177Lu]Lu-LNC1003 ranging from 1.11 to 2.59 GBq per cycle. Myelosuppression was dose-limiting at 2.59 GBq, and 1.85 GBq was determined to be the MTD. The total-body effective dose for 177Lu-LNC1003 was 0.35 ± 0.05 mSv/MBq. The salivary glands were found to receive the highest estimated radiation dose, which was calculated to be 3.61 ± 2.83 mSv/MBq. The effective doses of kidneys and red bone marrow were 1.88 ± 0.35 and 0.22 ± 0.04 mSv/MBq, respectively. The tumor mean absorbed doses for bone and lymph node metastases were 8.52 and 9.51 mSv/MBq. Following the first treatment cycle, PSA decline was observed in 1 (33.3%), 4 (66.7%), and 2 (50.0%) patients at dose levels 1 (1.11 GBq), 2 (1.85 GBq), and 3 (2.59 GBq), respectively. Compared with the baseline serum PSA value, 1 (33.3%) at dose level 1 and 4 (66.6%) patients at dose level 2, presented a PSA decline after the second treatment cycle. CONCLUSION This phase 1 trial revealed that the MTD of [177Lu]Lu-LNC1003 is 1.85 GBq. The treatment with multiple cycles at the dose of 1.11 GBq /cycle and 1.85 GBq /cycle was well tolerated. [177Lu]Lu-LNC1003 has higher tumor effective doses in bone and lymph nodes metastases while the absorbed dose in the red bone marrow should be closely monitored in future treatment studies with higher doses and multiple cycles. The frequency of administration also needs to be further explored to assess the efficacy and side effects of [177Lu]Lu-LNC1003 treatment.

Development of [ 177Lu]Lu-LNC1003 for radioligand therapy of prostate cancer with a moderate level of PSMA expression. Eur J Nucl Med Mol Imaging 2023; 50:2846-2860. [PMID: 37097443 DOI: 10.1007/s00259-023-06229-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [What about the content of this article?

Abstract
PURPOSE Evans blue as an albumin binder has been widely used to improve pharmacokinetics and enhance tumor uptake of radioligands, including prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) targeting agents. The goal of this study is to develop an optimal Evans blue-modified radiotherapeutic agent that could maximize the absolute tumor uptake and tumor absorbed dose thus the therapeutic efficacy to allow treatment of tumors even with moderate level of PSMA expression. METHODS [177Lu]Lu-LNC1003 was synthesized based on PSMA-targeting agent and Evans blue. Binding affinity and PSMA targeting specificity were verified through cell uptake and competition binding assay in 22Rv1 tumor model that has moderate level of PSMA expression. SPECT/CT imaging and biodistribution studies in 22Rv1 tumor-bearing mice were performed to evaluate the preclinical pharmacokinetics. Radioligand therapy studies were conducted to systematically assess the therapeutic effect of [177Lu]Lu-LNC1003. RESULTS LNC1003 showed high binding affinity (IC50 = 10.77 nM) to PSMA in vitro, which was comparable with that of PSMA-617 (IC50 = 27.49 nM) and EB-PSMA-617 (IC50 = 7.91 nM). SPECT imaging of [177Lu]Lu-LNC1003 demonstrated significantly improved tumor uptake and retention as compared with [177Lu]Lu-EB-PSMA and [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617, making it suitable for prostate cancer therapy. Biodistribution studies further confirmed the remarkably higher tumor uptake of [177Lu]Lu-LNC1003 (138.87 ± 26.53%ID/g) over [177Lu]Lu-EB-PSMA-617 (29.89 ± 8.86%ID/g) and [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 (4.28 ± 0.25%ID/g) at 24 h post-injection. Targeted radioligand therapy results showed noteworthy inhibition of 22Rv1 tumor growth after administration of a single dose of 18.5 MBq [177Lu]Lu-LNC1003. There was no obvious antitumor effect after [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 treatment under the same condition. CONCLUSION In this study, [177Lu]Lu-LNC1003 was successfully synthesized with high radiochemical purity and stability. High binding affinity and PSMA targeting specificity were identified in vitro and in vivo. With greatly enhanced tumor uptake and retention, [177Lu]Lu-LNC1003 has the potential to improve therapeutic efficacy using significantly lower dosages and less cycles of 177Lu that promises clinical translation to treat prostate cancer with various levels of PSMA expression.
