Yu T, Lok BH. PARP inhibitor resistance mechanisms and PARP inhibitor derived imaging probes. Expert Rev Anticancer Ther 2024; 24:989-1008. [PMID: 39199000 DOI: 10.1080/14737140.2024.2398494] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2024] [Revised: 08/19/2024] [Accepted: 08/27/2024] [Indexed: 09/01/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) inhibition has become a major target in anticancer therapy. While PARP inhibitors (PARPi) are approved for homologous recombination (HR) deficient cancers, therapeutic resistance is a challenge and PARPi are now being investigated in cancers lacking HR deficiencies. This creates a need to develop molecular and imaging biomarkers of PARPi response to improve patient selection and circumvent therapeutic resistance. AREAS COVERED PubMed and clinicaltrials.gov were queried for studies on PARPi resistance and imaging. This review summarizes established and emerging resistance mechanisms to PARPi, and the current state of imaging and theragnostic probes for PARPi, including fluorescently labeled and radiolabeled probes. EXPERT OPINION While progress has been made in understanding PARPi therapeutic resistance, clinical evidence remains lacking and relatively little is known regarding PARPi response outside of HR deficiencies. Continued research will clarify the importance of known biomarkers and resistance mechanisms in patient cohorts and the broader utility of PARPi. Progress has also been made in PARPi imaging, particularly with radiolabeled probes, and both imaging and theragnostic probes have now reached clinical validation. Reducing abdominal background signal from probe clearance will broaden their applicability, and improvements to molecular synthesis and radiation delivery will increase their utility.

Brain intratumoural astatine-211 radiotherapy targeting syndecan-1 leads to durable glioblastoma remission and immune memory in female mice. EBioMedicine 2024; 105:105202. [PMID: 38905749 PMCID: PMC11246004 DOI: 10.1016/j.ebiom.2024.105202] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2024] [Revised: 05/31/2024] [Accepted: 05/31/2024] [Indexed: 06/23/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Glioblastoma (GB), the most aggressive brain cancer, remains a critical clinical challenge due to its resistance to conventional treatments. Here, we introduce a locoregional targeted-α-therapy (TAT) with the rat monoclonal antibody 9E7.4 targeting murine syndecan-1 (SDC1) coupled to the α-emitter radionuclide astatine-211 (211At-9E7.4). METHODS We orthotopically transplanted 50,000 GL261 cells of murine GB into the right striatum of syngeneic female C57BL/6JRj mice using stereotaxis. After MRI validation of tumour presence at day 11, TAT was injected at the same coordinates. Biodistribution, efficacy, toxicity, local and systemic responses were assessed following application of this protocol. The 9E7.4 monoclonal antibody was labelled with iodine-125 (125I) for biodistribution and with astatine-211 (211At) for the other experiments. FINDINGS The 211At-9E7.4 TAT demonstrated robust efficacy in reducing orthotopic tumours and achieved improved survival rates in the C57BL/6JRj model, reaching up to 70% with a minimal activity of 100 kBq. Targeting SDC1 ensured the cerebral retention of 211At over an optimal time window, enabling low-activity administration with a minimal toxicity profile. Moreover, TAT substantially reduced the occurrence of secondary tumours and provided resistance to new tumour development after contralateral rechallenge, mediated through the activation of central and effector memory T cells. INTERPRETATION The locoregional 211At-9E7.4 TAT stands as one of the most efficient TAT across all preclinical GB models. This study validates SDC1 as a pertinent therapeutic target for GB and underscores 211At-9E7.4 TAT as a promising advancement to improve the treatment and quality of life for patients with GB.

Abstract
Glioblastoma (GB), a prevalent and highly malignant primary brain tumour with a very high mortality rate due to its resistance to conventional therapies and invasive nature, resulting in 5-year survival rates of only 4-17%. Despite recent advancements in cancer management, the survival rates for GB patients have not significantly improved over the last 10-20 years. Consequently, there exists a critical unmet need for innovative therapies. One promising approach for GB is Targeted Alpha Therapy (TAT), which aims to selectively deliver potentially therapeutic radiation doses to malignant cells and the tumour microenvironment while minimising radiation exposure to surrounding normal tissue with or without conventional external beam radiation. This approach has shown promise in both pre-clinical and clinical settings. A review was conducted following PRISMA 2020 guidelines across Medline, SCOPUS, and Embase, identifying 34 relevant studies out of 526 initially found. In pre-clinical studies, TAT demonstrated high binding specificity to targeted GB cells, with affinity rates between 60.0% and 84.2%, and minimal binding to non-targeted cells (4.0-5.6%). This specificity significantly enhanced cytotoxic effects and improved biodistribution when delivered intratumorally. Mice treated with TAT showed markedly higher median survival rates compared to control groups. In clinical trials, TAT applied to recurrent GB (rGB) displayed varying success rates in extending overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival. Particularly effective when integrated into treatment regimens for both newly diagnosed and recurrent cases, TAT increased the median OS by 16.1% in newly diagnosed GB and by 36.4% in rGB, compared to current standard therapies. Furthermore, it was generally well tolerated with minimal adverse effects. These findings underscore the potential of TAT as a viable therapeutic option in the management of GB.

Abstract
Preclinical studies are essential for effectively evaluating TAT radiopharmaceuticals. Given the current suboptimal supply chain of these radionuclides, animal studies must be refined to produce the most translatable TAT agents with the greatest clinical potential. Vector design is pivotal, emphasizing harmonious physical and biological characteristics among the vector, target, and radionuclide. The scarcity of alpha-emitting radionuclides remains a significant consideration. Actinium-225 and lead-212 appear as the most readily available radionuclides at this stage. Available animal models for researchers encompass xenografts, allografts, and PDX (patient-derived xenograft) models. Emerging strategies for imaging alpha-emitters are also briefly explored. Ultimately, preclinical research must address two critical aspects: (1) offering valuable insights into balancing safety and efficacy, and (2) providing guidance on the optimal dosing of the TAT agent.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, and more effective ways of attacking cancer are being sought. Cancer immunotherapy is a new and effective therapeutic method after surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy. Cancer immunotherapy aims to kill tumor cells by stimulating or rebuilding the body's immune system, with specific efficiency and high safety. However, only few tumor patients respond to immunotherapy and due to the complex and variable characters of cancer immune escape, the behavior and regulatory mechanisms of immune cells need to be deeply explored from more dimensions. Epigenetic modifications, metabolic modulation, and cell-to-cell communication are key factors in immune cell adaptation and response to the complex tumor microenvironment. They collectively determine the state and function of immune cells through modulating gene expression, changing in energy and nutrient demands. In addition, immune cells engage in complex communication networks with other immune components, which are mediated by exosomes, cytokines, and chemokines, and are pivotal in shaping the tumor progression and therapeutic response. Understanding the interactions and combined effects of such multidimensions mechanisms in immune cell modulation is important for revealing the mechanisms of immunotherapy failure and developing new therapeutic targets and strategies.

[ 123I]CC1: A PARP-Targeting, Auger Electron-Emitting Radiopharmaceutical for Radionuclide Therapy of Cancer. J Nucl Med 2023; 64:1965-1971. [PMID: 37770109 PMCID: PMC10690119 DOI: 10.2967/jnumed.123.265429] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2023] [Revised: 05/24/2023] [Indexed: 10/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Poly(adenosine diphosphate ribose) polymerase (PARP) has emerged as an effective therapeutic strategy against cancer that targets the DNA damage repair enzyme. PARP-targeting compounds radiolabeled with an Auger electron-emitting radionuclide can be trapped close to damaged DNA in tumor tissue, where high ionizing potential and short range lead Auger electrons to kill cancer cells through the creation of complex DNA damage, with minimal damage to surrounding normal tissue. Here, we report on [123I]CC1, an 123I-labeled PARP inhibitor for radioligand therapy of cancer. Methods: Copper-mediated 123I iododeboronation of a boronic pinacol ester precursor afforded [123I]CC1. The level and specificity of cell uptake and the therapeutic efficacy of [123I]CC1 were determined in human breast carcinoma, pancreatic adenocarcinoma, and glioblastoma cells. Tumor uptake and tumor growth inhibition of [123I]CC1 were assessed in mice bearing human cancer xenografts (MDA-MB-231, PSN1, and U87MG). Results: In vitro and in vivo studies showed selective uptake of [123I]CC1 in all models. Significantly reduced clonogenicity, a proxy for tumor growth inhibition by ionizing radiation in vivo, was observed in vitro after treatment with as little as 10 Bq [123I]CC1. Biodistribution at 1 h after intravenous administration showed PSN1 tumor xenograft uptake of 0.9 ± 0.06 percentage injected dose per gram of tissue. Intravenous administration of a relatively low amount of [123I]CC1 (3 MBq) was able to significantly inhibit PSN1 xenograft tumor growth but was less effective in xenografts that expressed less PARP. [123I]CC1 did not cause significant toxicity to normal tissues. Conclusion: Taken together, these results show the potential of [123I]CC1 as a radioligand therapy for PARP-expressing cancers.

Abstract
The present review aims to explore the potential targets/partners for future targeted radionuclide therapy (TRT) strategies, wherein cancer cells often are not killed effectively, despite receiving a high average tumor radiation dose. Here, we shall discuss the key factors in the cancer genome, especially those related to DNA damage response/repair and maintenance systems for escaping cell death in cancer cells. To overcome the current limitations of TRT effectiveness due to radiation/drug-tolerant cells and tumor heterogeneity, and to make TRT more effective, we propose that a promising strategy would be to target the DNA maintenance factors that are crucial for cancer survival. Considering their cancer-specific DNA damage response/repair ability and dysregulated transcription/epigenetic system, key factors such as PARP, ATM/ATR, amplified/overexpressed transcription factors, and DNA methyltransferases have the potential to be molecular targets for Auger electron therapy; moreover, their inhibition by non-radioactive molecules could be a partnering component for enhancing the therapeutic response of TRT.

Preclinical studies of a PARP targeted, Meitner-Auger emitting, theranostic radiopharmaceutical for metastatic ovarian cancer. Nucl Med Biol 2023; 122-123:108368.

Abstract
Advanced ovarian cancer currently has few therapeutic options. Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors bind to nuclear PARP and trap the protein-inhibitor complex to DNA. This work investigates a theranostic PARP inhibitor for targeted radiopharmaceutical therapy of ovarian cancer in vitro and PET imaging of healthy mice in vivo. METHODS [77Br]RD1 was synthesized and assessed for pharmacokinetics and cytotoxicity in human and murine ovarian cancer cell lines. [76Br]RD1 biodistribution and organ uptake in healthy mice were quantified through longitudinal PET/CT imaging and ex vivo radioactivity measurements. Organ-level dosimetry following [76/77Br]RD1 administration was calculated using RAPID, an in-house platform for absorbed dose in mice, and OLINDA for equivalent and effective dose in human. RESULTS The maximum specific binding (Bmax), equilibrium dissociation constant (Kd), and nonspecific binding slope (NS) were calculated for each cell line. These values were used to calculate the cell specific activity uptake for cell viability studies. The half maximal effective concentration (EC50) was measured as 0.17 (95 % CI: 0.13-0.24) nM and 0.46 (0.13-0.24) nM for PARP(+) and PARP(-) expressing cell lines, respectively. The EC50 was 0.27 (0.21-0.36) nM and 0.30 (0.22-0.41) nM for BRCA1(-) and BRCA1(+) expressing cell lines, respectively. When measuring the EC50 as a function of cellular activity uptake and nuclear dose, the EC50 ranges from 0.020 to 0.039 Bq/cell and 3.3-9.2 Gy, respectively. Excretion through the hepatobiliary and renal pathways were observed in mice, with liver uptake of 2.3 ± 0.4 %ID/g after 48 h, contributing to estimated absorbed dose values in mice of 19.3 ± 0.3 mGy/MBq and 290 ± 10 mGy/MBq for [77Br]RD1 and [76Br]RD1, respectively. CONCLUSION [77Br]RD1 cytotoxicity was dependent on PARP expression and independent of BRCA1 status. The in vitro results suggest that [77Br]RD1 cytotoxicity is driven by the targeted Meitner-Auger electron (MAe) radiotherapeutic effect of the agent. Further studies investigating the theranostic potential, organ dose, and tumor uptake of [76/77Br]RD1 are warranted.

Abstract
Radiopharmaceutical therapy (RPT) has proven to be an effective cancer treatment with minimal toxicity. With several RPT agents approved by FDA, the remarkable potential of this therapy is now being recognized, and the anti-tumor immunity induced by RPT is beginning to be noticed. This review evaluates the potential of RPT for immune activation, including promoting the release of danger associated-molecular pattern molecules that recruit inflammatory cells into the tumor microenvironment, and activating antigen-presenting cells and cytotoxic T cells. We also discuss the progress of combining RPT with immunotherapy to increase efficacy.

Abstract
Targeted radionuclide therapy (TRT) and immunotherapy are rapidly growing classes of cancer treatments. Basic, translational, and clinical research are now investigating therapeutic combinations of these agents. In comparison to external beam radiation therapy (EBRT), TRT has the unique advantage of treating all disease sites following intravenous injection and selective tumor uptake and retention-a particularly beneficial property in metastatic disease settings. The therapeutic value of combining radiation therapy with immune checkpoint blockade to treat metastases has been demonstrated in preclinical studies, whereas results of clinical studies have been mixed. Several clinical trials combining TRT and immune checkpoint blockade have been initiated based on preclinical studies combining these with EBRT and/or TRT. Despite the interest in translation of TRT and immunotherapy combinations, many questions remain surrounding the mechanisms of interaction and the optimal approach to clinical implementation of these combinations. This review highlights the mechanisms of interaction between anti-tumor immunity and radiation therapy and the status of basic and translational research and clinical trials investigating combinations of TRT and immunotherapies.

Improved Tumor Responses with Sequential Targeted α-Particles Followed by Interleukin 2 Immunocytokine Therapies in Treatment of CEA-Positive Breast and Colon Tumors in CEA Transgenic Mice. J Nucl Med 2022; 63:1859-1864. [PMID: 35772959 PMCID: PMC9730924 DOI: 10.2967/jnumed.122.264126] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2022] [Revised: 05/25/2022] [Indexed: 01/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Targeted α-therapy (TAT) delivers high-linear-transfer-energy α-particles to tumors with the potential to generate tumor immune responses that may be augmented by antigen-targeted immunotherapy. Methods: This concept was evaluated in immunocompetent carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) transgenic mice bearing CEA-positive mammary or colon tumors. Tumors were targeted with humanized anti-CEA antibody M5A labeled with 225Ac for its 10-d half-life and emission of 4 α-particles, as well as being targeted with the immunocytokine M5A-interleukin 2. Results: A dose response (3.7, 7.4, and 11.1 kBq) to TAT only, for orthotopic CEA-positive mammary tumors, was observed, with a tumor growth delay of 30 d and an increase in median survival from 20 to 36 d at the highest dose. Immunocytokine (4 times daily) monotherapy gave a tumor growth delay of 20 d that was not improved by addition of 7.4 kBq of TAT 5 d after the start of immunocytokine. However, TAT (7.4 kBq) followed by immunocytokine 10 d later led to a tumor growth delay of 38 d, with an increase in median survival to 45 d. Similar results were seen for TAT followed by immunocytokine at 5 versus 10 d. When a similar study was performed with subcutaneously implanted CEA-positive MC38 colon tumors, TAT (7.4 kBq) monotherapy gave an increase in median survival from 29 to 42 d. The addition of immunocytokine 10 d after 7.4 kBq of TAT increased median survival to 57 d. Immunophenotyping showed increased tumor-infiltrating interferon-γ-positive, CD8-positive T cells and an increased ratio of these cells to Foxp3-positive, CD4-positive regulatory T cells with sequential therapy. Immunohistochemistry confirmed there was an increase in tumor-infiltrating CD8-positive T cells in the sequential therapy group, strongly suggesting that immunocytokine augmented TAT can lead to an immune response that improves tumor therapy. Conclusion: Low-dose (7.4 kBq) TAT followed by a 4-dose immunocytokine regimen 5 or 10 d later gave superior tumor reductions and survival curves compared with either monotherapy in breast and colon cancer tumor models. Reversing the order of therapy to immunocytokine followed by TAT 5 d later was equivalent to either monotherapy in the breast cancer model.

Abstract
Astatine-211-parthanatine ([211At]PTT) is an alpha-emitting radiopharmaceutical therapeutic that targets poly(adenosine-diphosphate-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) in cancer cells. High-risk neuroblastomas exhibit among the highest PARP1 expression across solid tumors. In this study, we evaluated the efficacy of [211At]PTT using 11 patient-derived xenograft (PDX) mouse models of high-risk neuroblastoma, and assessed hematological and marrow toxicity in a CB57/BL6 healthy mouse model. We observed broad efficacy in PDX models treated with [211At]PTT at the maximum tolerated dose (MTD 36 MBq/kg/fraction x4) administered as a fractionated regimen. For the MTD, complete tumor response was observed in 81.8% (18 of 22) of tumors and the median event free survival was 72 days with 30% (6/20) of mice showing no measurable tumor >95 days. Reversible hematological and marrow toxicity was observed 72 hours post-treatment at the MTD, however full recovery was evident by 4 weeks post-therapy. These data support clinical development of [211At]PTT for high-risk neuroblastoma.

Abstract
The development of immunotherapy, in particular immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI), has revolutionized cancer treatment in the past decades. However, its efficacy is still limited to subgroups of patients with cancer. Therefore, effective treatment combination strategies are needed. Here, radiotherapy is highly promising, as it can induce immunogenic cell death, triggering the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, thereby creating an immunogenic phenotype and sensitizing tumors to ICI. Recently, targeted radionuclide therapy (TRT) has attained significant interest for cancer treatment. In this approach, a tumor-targeting radiopharmaceutical is used to specifically deliver a therapeutic radiation dose to all tumor cells, including distant metastatic lesions, while limiting radiation exposure to healthy tissue. However, fundamental differences between TRT and conventional radiotherapy make it impossible to directly extrapolate the biological effects from conventional radiotherapy to TRT. In this review, we present a comprehensive overview of studies investigating the immunomodulatory effects of TRT and the efficacy of combined TRT-ICI treatment. Preclinical studies have evaluated a variety of murine cancer models in which α- or β-emitting radionuclides were directed to a diverse set of targets. In addition, clinical trials are ongoing to assess safety and efficacy of combined TRT-ICI in patients with cancer. Taken together, research indicates that combining TRT and ICI might improve therapeutic response in patients with cancer. Future research has to disclose what the optimal conditions are in terms of dose and treatment schedule to maximize the efficacy of this combined approach.

Abstract
Immune checkpoint blockers (ICBs) targeting programmed death receptor 1 (PD-1) ligand 1 (PD-L1) for immunotherapy have radically reformed oncology. It is of great significance to enhance the response rate of ICB in cancer patients. Here, a radioiodinated anti-PD-L1 antibody (131I-αPD-L1) was developed for PD-L1-targeted single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging and αPD-L1 immunotherapy. Flow cytometry and immunofluorescence staining were performed to identify PD-L1 upregulation in a time- and dose-dependent manner after being induced by 131I-αPD-L1. ImmunoSPECT imaging and biodistributions of 131I-αPD-L1 in CT26, MC38, 4T1, and B16F10 tumor models were conducted to visualize the high tumor uptake and low background signal. Compared to monotherapy alone, concurrent administration of αPD-L1 mAb and 131I-αPD-L1 revealed improved tumor control in murine tumor models. The combination of 11.1 MBq of 131I-αPD-L1 and 200 μg of αPD-L1 mAb resulted in significant tumor growth delay and prolonged survival. This radioligand synergized immunotherapy strategy holds great potential for cancer management.

Abstract
Simple Summary In parallel to the successful clinical implementation of PARP1/2 inhibitors as anti-cancer drugs, which interfere with the DNA repair machinery, these small molecule agents have also gained attention as vehicles for molecular imaging and radiotherapy. In this review article, we summarize the development and preclinical evaluation of radioactively-labelled PARP inhibitors for positron emission tomography (PET) for many applications, such as selecting patients for PARP inhibitor treatment, response prediction or monitoring, and diagnosis of tumors. We report on early clinical studies that show safety and feasibility of PARP-imaging in humans. In addition, we summarize the latest developments in the field of PARP-targeted radiotherapy, where PARP inhibitors are studied as vehicles to deposit highly cytotoxic radioisotopes in close proximity to the DNA of tumor cells. Lastly, we look at synthetic strategies for PARP-targeted imaging and therapy agents that are compatible with large scale production and clinical translation. Abstract Since it was discovered that many tumor types are vulnerable to inhibition of the DNA repair machinery, research towards efficient and selective inhibitors has accelerated. Amongst other enzymes, poly(ADP-ribose)-polymerase 1 (PARP1) was identified as a key player in this process, which resulted in the development of selective PARP inhibitors (PARPi) as anti-cancer drugs. Most small molecule PARPi’s exhibit high affinity for both PARP1 and PARP2. PARPi are under clinical investigation for mono- and combination therapy in several cancer types and five PARPi are now clinically approved. In parallel, radiolabeled PARPi have emerged for non-invasive imaging of PARP1 expression. PARP imaging agents have been suggested as companion diagnostics, patient selection, and treatment monitoring tools to improve the outcome of PARPi therapy, but also as stand-alone diagnostics. We give a comprehensive overview over the preclinical development of PARP imaging agents, which are mostly based on the PARPi olaparib, rucaparib, and recently also talazoparib. We also report on the current status of clinical translation, which involves a growing number of early phase trials. Additionally, this work provides an insight into promising approaches of PARP-targeted radiotherapy based on Auger and α-emitting isotopes. Furthermore, the review covers synthetic strategies for PARP-targeted imaging and therapy agents that are compatible with large scale production and clinical translation.

Abstract
Among all existing radionuclides, only a few are of interest for therapeutic applications and more specifically for targeted alpha therapy (TAT). From this selection, actinium-225, astatine-211, bismuth-212, bismuth-213, lead-212, radium-223, terbium-149 and thorium-227 are considered as the most suitable. Despite common general features, they all have their own physical characteristics that make them singular and so promising for TAT. These radionuclides were largely studied over the last two decades, leading to a better knowledge of their production process and chemical behavior, allowing for an increasing number of biological evaluations. The aim of this review is to summarize the main properties of these eight chosen radionuclides. An overview from their availability to the resulting clinical studies, by way of chemical design and preclinical studies is discussed.
