The efficacy of radioligand therapy (RLT) targeting prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is currently being investigated for its application in patients with early-stage prostate cancer (PCa). However, little is known about PSMA expression in healthy organs in this cohort. Collectively, 202 [Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 positron emission tomography (PET) scans from 152 patients were studied. Of these, 102 PET scans were from patients with primary PCa and hormone-sensitive biochemically recurrent PCa and 50 PET scans were from patients with metastatic castration-resistant PCa (mCRPC) before and after three cycles of [Lu]Lu-PSMA-RLT. PSMA-standardized uptake values (SUV) were measured in multiple organs and PSMA-total tumor volume (PSMA-TTV) was determined in all cohorts. The measured PET parameters of the different cohorts were normalized to the bloodpool and compared using t- or Mann-Whitney U tests. Patients with early-stage PCa had lower PSMA-TTVs (10.39 mL vs. 462.42 mL, < 0.001) and showed different SUVs in the thyroid, submandibular glands, heart, liver, kidneys, intestine, testes and bone marrow compared to patients with advanced CRPC, with all tests showing < 0.05. Despite the differences in the PSMA-TTV of patients with mCRPC before and after [Lu]Lu-PSMA-RLT (462.42 mL vs. 276.29 mL, = 0.023), no significant organ differences in PET parameters were detected. These suggest different degrees of PSMA-ligand binding among patients with different stages of PCa that could influence radiotoxicity during earlier stages of disease in different organs when PSMA-RLT is administered.
目前正在研究靶向前列腺特异性膜抗原(PSMA)的放射性配体疗法(RLT)在早期前列腺癌(PCa)患者中的应用疗效。然而,对于该队列中健康器官的PSMA表达情况知之甚少。总共研究了152例患者的202次[Ga]Ga-PSMA-11正电子发射断层扫描(PET)。其中,102次PET扫描来自原发性PCa和激素敏感的生化复发PCa患者,50次PET扫描来自转移性去势抵抗性PCa(mCRPC)患者,分别在[Lu]Lu-PSMA-RLT三个周期之前和之后进行。在多个器官中测量PSMA标准化摄取值(SUV),并在所有队列中确定PSMA总肿瘤体积(PSMA-TTV)。将不同队列测量的PET参数标准化至血池,并使用t检验或Mann-Whitney U检验进行比较。与晚期CRPC患者相比,早期PCa患者的PSMA-TTV较低(10.39 mL对462.42 mL,<0.001),并且在甲状腺、颌下腺、心脏、肝脏、肾脏、肠道、睾丸和骨髓中的SUV也有所不同,所有检验均显示<0.05。尽管mCRPC患者在[Lu]Lu-PSMA-RLT前后的PSMA-TTV存在差异(462.42 mL对276.29 mL,=0.023),但未检测到PET参数在器官上有显著差异。这些结果表明,不同阶段PCa患者之间PSMA-配体结合程度不同,这可能会在给予PSMA-RLT时影响疾病早期不同器官的放射毒性。
