PET imaging of cetuximab uptake may help selecting cancer patients with the highest chance of benefit. The aim of this phase I trial was to determine the safety of the tracer Zr-cetuximab and to assess tumour uptake.
Two dose schedules were used; two consecutive doses of 60MBq Zr-cetuximab or a single dose of 120MBq, both preceded by 400mg/m of unlabelled cetuximab. Toxicity (CTCAE 3.0) was scored twice weekly. PET-CT scans were acquired on days 4, 5 and 6 (step 1) or 5, 6, 7 (step 2). Because tumour uptake could not be assessed satisfactorily, a third step was added including EGFR overexpressing tumours.
Nine patients were included (6 NSCLC; 3 HNC). No additional toxicity was associated with administration of Zr-cetuximab compared to standard cetuximab. A tumour to blood ratio (TBR)>1 was observed in all but one patient, with a maximum of 4.56. TBR was not different between dose schedules. There was a trend for higher TBR at intervals>5days after injection.
Both presented Zr-cetuximab administration schedules are safe. The recommended dose for future trials is 60MBq, with a minimum time interval for scanning of 6days.
西妥昔单抗摄取的PET成像可能有助于挑选出最有可能从治疗中获益的癌症患者。这项I期试验的目的是确定示踪剂Zr-西妥昔单抗的安全性并评估肿瘤摄取情况。
采用了两种给药方案;连续两次给予60MBq的Zr-西妥昔单抗或单次给予120MBq,两种方案均在给予400mg/m²未标记的西妥昔单抗之后进行。毒性(采用CTCAE 3.0标准)每周评估两次。在第4、5和6天(步骤1)或第5、6、7天(步骤2)进行PET-CT扫描。由于无法令人满意地评估肿瘤摄取情况,因此增加了第三步,纳入表皮生长因子受体(EGFR)过表达的肿瘤。
纳入了9例患者(6例非小细胞肺癌;3例头颈部癌)。与标准西妥昔单抗相比,给予Zr-西妥昔单抗未出现额外的毒性。除1例患者外,所有患者的肿瘤与血液比值(TBR)均>1,最高达4.56。两种给药方案的TBR无差异。注射后间隔>5天时有TBR升高的趋势。
所呈现的两种Zr-西妥昔单抗给药方案均安全。未来试验的推荐剂量为60MBq,扫描的最短时间间隔为6天。
