Abstract
BACKGROUND 99mTc-depreotide (NeoTect) is a synthetic somatostatin analogue, which binds to somatostatin receptor (SSTR) subtypes 2, 3 and 5. Imaging patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) using the somatostatin analogue In-pentetreotide (Octreoscan) has demonstrated the feasibility of identifying lymphoma sites with this class of peptide radiopharmaceutical. SSTR peptides can be labelled with beta emitters and, if sufficient tumour uptake relative to normal organs can be demonstrated, therapeutic applications can be considered. METHODS In this prospective Institutional Review Board (IRB)-approved study, patients with NHL and a recent computed tomography (CT) examination were eligible. Whole-body and selected single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging was performed 1 h after intravenous injection of 99mTc-depreotide. Images were compared with CT scan findings. The radioactivity concentration of 99mTc-depreotide in abdominal/pelvic tumour sites, together with normal organs, was determined and expressed as the percentage of injected activity per gram of tissue (%IA x g). RESULTS Paired CT and 99mTc-depreotide images for three patients with indolent and six with aggressive NHL revealed abnormal 99mTc-depreotide uptake corresponding to the tumour seen on CT in seven of these patients. In three of the patients, all known tumour sites were detected on 99mTc-depreotide images. The mean %IA x g for nine abdominal/pelvic tumour foci from four patients was found to be 0.004% (range, 0.001-0.007%). The mean tumour to bone marrow activity concentration ratio in these four patients was found to be 0.94 (range, 0.33-1.40), whereas the tumour to kidney ratio was 0.53 (range, 0.16-0.80). CONCLUSIONS Levels of 99mTc-depreotide in tumour suggest at least the possibility of potential therapy with beta emitter-labelled SSTR peptides; however, depreotide itself appears not to be a suitable candidate as a targeting agent due to the relatively high bone marrow concentration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Infusion of amino acids (AAs) can reduce renal uptake of radiolabelled somatostatin analogues resulting in a lower kidney exposure during peptide radiotherapy of patients with neuroendocrine tumours. In this study, we investigated the metabolic effects related to the infusion of large amounts of amino acids in patients undergoing positron emission tomography (PET) studies with [(86)Y]DOTA(0)-D-Phe(1)-Tyr(3)-octreotide. METHODS Twenty-four patients, in four consecutive groups of six, received a 4 h infusion of 120 g of mixed AAs and, in addition, either a 4 h infusion of 50 g of L-lysine (n = 6), a 10 h infusion of 240 g of mixed AAs (n = 6), a 4 h infusion of 50 g of L-lysine + L-arginine (Lys-Arg; n = 6) or no infusion (control; n = 6) in randomly ordered crossover studies. A number of clinical and biochemical parameters in blood and urine were measured over 24 h, including calculation of creatinine clearance, tubular reabsorption of inorganic phosphate (TRP) and fractional urate excretion. RESULTS No clinical side effects occurred during the infusions except for nausea and vomiting under mixed AAs. Patients in the latter group showed an increase in serum urea, whereas patients receiving L-lysine showed an increase in serum potassium and chloride. Inorganic phosphate levels dropped at 2.5 h in all groups except controls, and a significant decrease in TRP was observed with mixed AAs but not with L-lysine or Lys-Arg. CONCLUSION Although infusion of AA solutions can improve the effect of therapy by allowing the administration of higher doses of radiolabelled somatostatin analogues, each preparation has specific sides effects that should be taken into account with this type of therapy.

Abstract
During the past 10 years, a variety of radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies, antibody fragments, and low-molecular- weight oncophilic peptides have been used to deliver radioactivity to target cells for therapeutic purposes. The high and persistent localization of several of these radiolabeled molecules in the kidneys raised concern about potential renal radiation toxicity compromising therapeutic effectiveness. In particular, radiolabeled peptides, such as yttrium-90-labeled synthetic somatostatin analogues, have initiated a discussion on the safety profiles of the various somatostatin derivatives in recent clinical trials. In general, the toxicity risk seems to depend on the characteristics of the oncophilic molecule, such as the molecular weight, electric charges and clearance pathways as well as the chemical and physical characteristics of the applied radionuclide. Encouraging results for the prevention of radiation-induced renal damage by radiolabeled peptides have been obtained by co-infusion of positively charged amino acids. The available literature on nephrotoxicity after radiolabeled peptide therapy is reviewed, and therapeutic options that have become available as a result of greater insights into putative pathogenic mechanisms are discussed.

Abstract
[Yttrium-90-DOTA-Tyr(3)]-octreotide (DOTATOC) and [(177)Lu-DOTA-Tyr(3)-Thr(8)]-octreotide (DOTATATE) are used for peptide receptor-mediated radionuclide therapy (PRMRT) in neuroendocrine tumours. No human data comparing these two compounds are available so far. We used (111)In as a surrogate for (90)Y and (177)Lu and examined whether one of the (111)In-labelled peptides had a more favourable biodistribution in patients with neuroendocrine tumours. Special emphasis was given to kidney uptake and tumour-to-kidney ratio since kidney toxicity is usually the dose-limiting factor. Five patients with metastatic neuroendocrine tumours were injected with 222 MBq (111)In-DOTATOC and (111)In-DOTATATE within 2 weeks. Up to 48 h after injection, whole-body scans were performed and blood and urine samples were collected. The mean absorbed dose was calculated for tumours, kidney, liver, spleen and bone marrow. In all cases (111)In-DOTATATE showed a higher uptake (%IA) in kidney and liver. The amount of (111)In-DOTATOC excreted into the urine was significantly higher than for (111)In-DOTATATE. The mean absorbed dose to the red marrow was nearly identical. (111)In-DOTATOC showed a higher tumour-to-kidney absorbed dose ratio in seven of nine evaluated tumours. The variability of the tumour-to-kidney ratio was high and the significance level in favour of (111)In-DOTATOC was P=0.065. In five patients the pharmacokinetics of (111)In-DOTATOC and (111)In-DOTATATE was found to be comparable. The two peptides appear to be nearly equivalent for PRMRT in neuroendocrine tumours, with minor advantages for (111)In/(90)Y-DOTATOC; on this basis, we shall continue to use (90)Y-DOTATOC for PRMRT in patients with metastatic neuroendocrine tumours.

Abstract
Radioligand targeting of somatostatin receptor subtype 2 (sstr2)-positive tumors with synthetic somatostatin analogues such as octreotide is subject to improvement in tumor to nontumor biodistribution, in part because internalization of such somatostatin analogues is limited by sstr2 recycling to the cell surface. We reasoned that it might be possible to prepare probe-carrying somatostatin analogues that would escape recycling, efficiently depositing probe molecules inside cells and ultimately increasing their intracellular concentration. We have incorporated cathepsin-B-cleavable linkers into (Tyr3)-octreotate chelate conjugates and examined these constructs as to cellular uptake, externalization, subcellular localization, and cleavage in the rat pancreatic tumor cell line AR42J in culture. Comparison of the cleavable radioligands with a noncleavable control indicates that scission of the constituent cathepsin B substrate occurs at a rate faster than ligand externalization, depositing virtually all internalized cleaved radiochelates within lysosomal compartments.

Abstract
On their plasma membranes, cells express receptor proteins with high affinity for regulatory peptides, such as somatostatin. Changes in the density of these receptors during disease, for example, overexpression in many tumors, provide the basis for new imaging methods. The first peptide analogues successfully applied for visualization of receptor-positive tumors were radiolabeled somatostatin analogues. The next step was to label these analogues with therapeutic radionuclides for peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT). Results from preclinical and clinical multicenter studies already have shown an effective therapeutic response when using radiolabeled somatostatin analogues to treat receptor-positive tumors. Infusion of positively charged amino acids reduces kidney uptake, enlarging the therapeutic window. For PRRT of CCK-B receptor-positive tumors, such as medullary thyroid carcinoma, radiolabeled minigastrin analogues currently are being successfully applied. The combination of different therapy modalities holds interest as a means of improving the clinical therapeutic effects of radiolabeled peptides. The combination of different radionuclides, such as (177)Lu- and (90)Y-labeled somatostatin analogues, to reach a wider tumor region of high curability, has been described. A variety of other peptide-based radioligands, such as bombesin and NPY(Y(1)) analogues, receptors for which are expressed on common cancers such as prostate and breast cancer, are currently under development and in different phases of (pre)clinical investigation. Multireceptor tumor targeting using the combination of bombesin and NPY(Y(1)) analogues is promising for scintigraphy and PRRT of breast carcinomas and their lymph node metastases.

Abstract
The pharmacokinetics and dosimetry of (86)Y-DOTA(0)- d-Phe(1)-Tyr(3)-octreotide ((86)Y-SMT487) were evaluated in a phase I positron emission tomography (PET) study of 24 patients with somatostatin receptor-positive neuroendocrine tumours. The effect of amino acid (AA) co-infusion on renal and tumour uptake was assessed in a cross-over randomised setting. Five regimens were tested: no infusion, 4-h infusion of 120 g mixed AA (26.4 g l-lysine + l-arginine), 4 h l-lysine (50 g), 10 h 240 g mixed AA (52.8 g l-lysine + l-arginine) and 4 h Lys-Arg (25 g each). Comparisons were performed on an intra-patient basis. Infusions of AA started 0.5 h prior to injection of (86)Y-SMT487 and PET scans were obtained at 4, 24 and 48 h p.i. Absorbed doses to tissues were computed using the MIRD3 method. (86)Y-SMT487 displayed rapid plasma clearance and exclusive renal excretion; uptake was noted in kidneys, tumours, spleen and, to a lesser extent, liver. The 4-h mixed AA co-infusion significantly ( P<0.05) reduced (86)Y-SMT487 renal uptake by a mean of 21%. This protective effect was significant on the dosimetry data (3.3+/-1.3 vs 4.4+/-1.0 mGy/MBq; P<0.05) and was further enhanced upon prolonging the infusion to 10 h (2.1+/-0.4 vs 1.7+/-0.2 mGy/MBq; P<0.05). Infusion of Lys-Arg but not of l-lysine was more effective in reducing renal uptake than mixed AA. Infusion of AA did not result in reduced tumour uptake. The amount of (90)Y-SMT487 (maximum allowed dose: MAD) that would result in a 23-Gy cut-off dose to kidneys was calculated for each study: MAD was higher with mixed AA co-infusion by a mean of 46% (10-114%, P<0.05 vs no infusion). In comparison with 4 h mixed AA, the MAD was higher by a mean of 23% (9-37%; P<0.05) with prolonged infusion and by a mean of 16% (2-28%; P<0.05) with Lys-Arg. We conclude that infusion of large amounts of AA reduces renal exposure during peptide-based radiotherapy and allows higher absorbed doses to tumours. The prolongation of the infusion from 4 to 10 h further enhances the protective effect on the kidneys.
