  1. INQUADRAMENTO DIAGNOSTICO E APPROCCIO TERAPEUTICO DEI TUMORI NEUROENDOCRINIMilano, 25 maggio 2007La terapia radiorecettoriale: dalla diagnostica alla terapia molecolare Arturo Chiti Medicina Nucleare Istituto Clinico Humanitas, Rozzano - Milano arturo.chiti@humanitas.it

  4. Philosophy of Somatostatin Receptor Scintigraphy Somatostatin-14 Octreotide Pentetreotide

  5. Somatostatin receptor scintigraphy

  6. Clinical implications of immunohistochemical assessment of somatostatin receptors subtype 2 and 5 in the diagnostic and therapeutic management of gastro-entero-pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours • Retrospective study on 26 patients • SRS and immunohistochemistry (IHC) • SSTR expression was detected in 17 patients (63%) by SRS and in 24 patients (89%) by IHC • The expression of SSTR documented by scintigraphy was confirmed in all cases by IHC • IHC revealed SSTR expression in 7 patients (26%) with a negative scintigraphy

  9. Why PRRT ? • High tumour-background ratio can be achieved with radiolabelled somatostatin analogues • Diagnostic scans with radiolabelled somatostatin can be used to identify suitable candidates for PRRT • Radionuclides suited for therapy are available and can be linked to peptides

  12. Radiolabelled somatostatin analoguesfor sst2 receptor-mediated radiotherapy Tissue-Penetration (Maximal) • I [111In-DTPA,DPhe1]octreotide • II [90Y-DOTA,DPhe1,Tyr3]octreotide - III [177Lu-DOTA,DPhe1,Tyr3]octreotate 10 μm (+ γ) 12 mm 2 mm (+ γ)

  13. Criteria for PRRT • Non surgical, metastatic tumors • No response to medical therapies (?) • Receptor expression • High affinity subtype • High density • Homogeneous distribution • Radiosensitive tumors

  14. 111In-pentetreotide therapy • Easily available • Data on more than 100 patients • 70% reported overall response • Minor and biochemical response often reported • PR are uncommon • No significant toxicity • Most common was bone marrow suppression • Pre-treatment score

  15. 111In-pentetreotide therapy February 1999 April 1999 October 1999

  16. [90Y-DOTA,Tyr3]octreotide • CR and PR observed in 10-30% of patients • Reversible grade 3 hematology toxicity with high doses • Radiation dose to the kidney is the limiting factor • Amino-acids and plasma expanders are effective in reducing kidney dose

  17. [90Y-DOTA,DPhe1,Tyr3]octreotide therapy Tumor response assessed by SWOG criteria in Phase 1 Study “Stable” at baseline n=8 Planned dose given (mean 380 mCi) Progressive at baseline n=24 Planned dose given (mean 375 mCi) 13% 4% 25% 75% 37% partial response 46% minor response Median follow-up 29 Mo All alive Median follow-up 13 Mo 15/24 alive stable disease progressive Courtesy of Prof. Krenning

  19. [177Lu-DOTA,Tyr3]octreotate • Higher affinity for somatostatin receptors • Gamma emission allow post-therapeutic biodistribution studies • PR, MR and SD responses are reported in the majority of patients • Tumor regression was correlate with a high uptake on Octreoscan imaging

  21. Tumor type and tumor response Kwekkeboom et al., J Nucl Med 2005; 46:62S-66S

  22. Side effects and toxicity • Haematological toxicity • Dose to bone marrow due to circulating radioactivity • Rare, mild and transient • MDS reported in few cases • Pre-treated patients • Limited data on long term follow-up • Renal toxicity • Dose due to partial reabsorption of peptides in the tubular cells • Physical characteristics of the radionuclide are important • Administration of arginine and/or lysine reduce renal uptake • Plasma expanders and amifostine are under evaluation

  23. Side effects and toxicity • Gastrointestinal toxicity • Acute nausea and vomiting in 30% of patients • Liver toxicity • Very rare, linked to liver metastases

  24. Side effects Kwekkeboom et al., J Nucl Med 2005; 46:62S-66S

  25. Available Symptoms improve SD CR/PR Tox [111In-DTPA]-octreotide Easy Yes Yes ? No Low [90Y-DOTA,Tyr3]-octreotide Difficult Yes Yes Yes High ? [177Lu-DOTA,Tyr3]-octreotate More difficult Yes Yes Yes Moderate Which radiopharmaceutical?

  26. What are we doing • 37 MBq/Kg up to 2600 MBq • One cicle every 3 months • Evaluation of toxicity and response • Blood, kidney and liver function • CT, Cga, other markers • Stop for: • Toxicity • Progession of disease

  27. Patient’s selection • Histological diagnosis of neuroendocrine tumor • Non surgical, metastatic disease • Measurable disease • Imaging demonstration of SSTR • At list one month since the last chemotherapy treatment • Karnofsky ≥ 70 • Life expectancy ≥ 6 months • RBC ≥ 3’500’000 • Hb ≥ 10 mg/dl • WBC ≥ 2500/dl • PLT ≥ 100’000/dl • Creatinine ≤ 1.5 mg/dl • Bilirubine ≤ 1.5 mg/dl • Written informed consent

  28. Humanitas 1 year experience • 19 patients • 37 treatments • 6 PD • 10 SD • 2 PR • 1 under evaluation

  29. Open issues • Availability of the technique • Dosage • Low dose hypersensitivity phenomenon • Effectiveness • Comparison to other approaches • New radiopharmaceuticals • New way of administration
