Radioimmunotherapy of solid tumors using antibody-targeted radionuclides has been limited by low therapeutic indices (TIs). We recently reported a novel 3-step pretargeted radioimmunotherapy (PRIT) strategy based on a glycoprotein A33 (GPA33)-targeting bispecific antibody and a small-molecule radioactive hapten, a complex of Lu and -2-(4-aminobenzyl)-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane tetraacetic acid (Lu-DOTA-Bn), that leads to high TIs for radiosensitive tissues such as blood (TI = 73) and kidney (TI = 12). We tested our hypothesis that a fractionated anti-GPA33 DOTA-PRIT regimen calibrated to deliver a radiation absorbed dose to tumor of more than 100 Gy would lead to a high probability of tumor cure while being well tolerated by nude mice bearing subcutaneous GPA33-positive SW1222 xenografts. We treated groups of nude mice bearing 7-d-old SW1222 xenografts with a fractionated 3-cycle anti-GPA33 DOTA-PRIT regimen (total administered Lu-DOTA-Bn activity, 167 MBq/mouse; estimated radiation absorbed dose to tumor, 110 Gy). In randomly selected mice undergoing treatment, serial SPECT/CT imaging was used to monitor treatment response and calculate radiation absorbed doses to tumor. Necropsy was done on surviving animals 100-200 d after treatment to determine frequency of cure and assess select normal tissues for treatment-related histopathologies. Rapid exponential tumor progression was observed in control treatment groups (i.e., no treatment or Lu-DOTA-Bn only), leading to euthanasia due to excessive tumor burden, whereas 10 of 10 complete responses were observed for the DOTA-PRIT-treated animals within 30 d. Treatment was well tolerated, and 100% histologic cure was achieved in 9 of 9 assessable animals without detectable radiation damage to critical organs, including bone marrow and kidney. Radiation absorbed doses to tumor derived from SPECT/CT (102 Gy) and from biodistribution (110 Gy) agreed to within 6.9%. Of the total dose of approximately 100 Gy, the first dose contributes 30%, the second dose 60%, and the third dose 10%. In a GPA33-positive human colorectal cancer xenograft mouse model, we validated a SPECT/CT-based theranostic PRIT regimen that led to 100% complete responses and 100% cures without any treatment-related toxicities, based on high TIs for radiosensitive tissues. These studies support the view that anti-GPA33 DOTA-PRIT will be a potent radioimmunotherapy regimen for GPA33-positive colorectal cancer tumors in humans.
使用抗体靶向放射性核素进行实体瘤的放射免疫治疗一直受到低治疗指数(TIs)的限制。我们最近报道了一种基于糖蛋白A33(GPA33)靶向双特异性抗体和小分子放射性半抗原(镥与 -2-(4-氨基苄基)-1,4,7,10-四氮杂环十二烷四乙酸的复合物,即Lu-DOTA-Bn)的新型三步预靶向放射免疫治疗(PRIT)策略,该策略可使血液(TI = 73)和肾脏(TI = 12)等放射敏感组织获得高治疗指数。我们检验了这样一个假设:经校准可向肿瘤递送超过100 Gy辐射吸收剂量的分次抗GPA33 DOTA-PRIT方案,将导致肿瘤治愈的高概率,同时对携带皮下GPA33阳性SW1222异种移植物的裸鼠具有良好的耐受性。我们用分次的3周期抗GPA33 DOTA-PRIT方案(总给药Lu-DOTA-Bn活度,167 MBq/小鼠;估计肿瘤的辐射吸收剂量,110 Gy)治疗了携带7日龄SW1222异种移植物的裸鼠组。在随机选择接受治疗的小鼠中,使用连续SPECT/CT成像监测治疗反应并计算肿瘤的辐射吸收剂量。在治疗后100 - 200天对存活动物进行尸检,以确定治愈频率并评估选定正常组织的治疗相关组织病理学。在对照治疗组(即未治疗或仅给予Lu-DOTA-Bn)中观察到肿瘤快速指数性进展,由于肿瘤负荷过大导致安乐死,而DOTA-PRIT治疗的动物在30天内观察到10只中有10只完全缓解。治疗耐受性良好,9只可评估动物中有9只实现了100%组织学治愈,关键器官(包括骨髓和肾脏)未检测到放射性损伤。SPECT/CT得出的肿瘤辐射吸收剂量(102 Gy)与生物分布得出的剂量(110 Gy)相差在6.9%以内。在大约100 Gy的总剂量中,第一剂占30%,第二剂占60%,第三剂占10%。在一个GPA33阳性的人结直肠癌异种移植小鼠模型中,基于放射敏感组织的高治疗指数,我们验证了一种基于SPECT/CT的治疗诊断PRIT方案,该方案导致100%完全缓解和100%治愈,且无任何治疗相关毒性。这些研究支持这样一种观点,即抗GPA33 DOTA-PRIT将是一种对人类GPA33阳性结直肠癌肿瘤有效的放射免疫治疗方案。
