Gadolinium-Based Nanoparticles Sensitize Ovarian Peritoneal Carcinomatosis to Targeted Radionuclide Therapy. J Nucl Med 2023; 64:1956-1964. [PMID: 37857502 PMCID: PMC10690115 DOI: 10.2967/jnumed.123.265418] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2023] [Revised: 08/28/2023] [Indexed: 10/21/2023] Open
Abstract
Ovarian cancer (OC) is the most lethal gynecologic malignancy (5-y overall survival rate, 46%). OC is generally detected when it has already spread to the peritoneal cavity (peritoneal carcinomatosis). This study investigated whether gadolinium-based nanoparticles (Gd-NPs) increase the efficacy of targeted radionuclide therapy using [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-trastuzumab (an antibody against human epidermal growth factor receptor 2). Gd-NPs have radiosensitizing effects in conventional external-beam radiotherapy and have been tested in clinical phase II trials. Methods: First, the optimal activity of [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-trastuzumab (10, 5, or 2.5 MBq) combined or not with 10 mg of Gd-NPs (single injection) was investigated in athymic mice bearing intraperitoneal OC cell (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-positive) tumor xenografts. Next, the therapeutic efficacy and toxicity of 5 MBq of [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-trastuzumab with Gd-NPs (3 administration regimens) were evaluated. NaCl, trastuzumab plus Gd-NPs, and [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-trastuzumab alone were used as controls. Biodistribution and dosimetry were determined, and Monte Carlo simulation of energy deposits was performed. Lastly, Gd-NPs' subcellular localization and uptake, and the cytotoxic effects of the combination, were investigated in 3 cancer cell lines to obtain insights into the involved mechanisms. Results: The optimal [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-trastuzumab activity when combined with Gd-NPs was 5 MBq. Moreover, compared with [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-trastuzumab alone, the strongest therapeutic efficacy (tumor mass reduction) was obtained with 2 injections of 5 mg of Gd-NPs/d (separated by 6 h) at 24 and 72 h after injection of 5 MBq of [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-trastuzumab. In vitro experiments showed that Gd-NPs colocalized with lysosomes and that their radiosensitizing effect was mediated by oxidative stress and inhibited by deferiprone, an iron chelator. Exposure of Gd-NPs to 177Lu increased the Auger electron yield but not the absorbed dose. Conclusion: Targeted radionuclide therapy can be combined with Gd-NPs to increase the therapeutic effect and reduce the injected activities. As Gd-NPs are already used in the clinic, this combination could be a new therapeutic approach for patients with ovarian peritoneal carcinomatosis.

Abstract
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy is undeniably a promising tool in combating various types of hematological malignancies. However, it is not yet optimal and a significant number of patients experience a lack of response or relapse after the treatment. Therapy improvement requires careful analysis of the occurring problems and a deeper understanding of the reasons that stand behind them. In this review, we summarize the recent knowledge about CAR-T products' clinical performance and discuss diversified approaches taken to improve the major shortcomings of this therapy. Especially, we prioritize the challenges faced by CD19 CAR-T cell-based treatment of B cell-derived malignancies and revise the latest insights about mechanisms mediating therapy resistance. Since the loss of CD19 is one of the major obstacles to the success of CAR-T cell therapy, we present antigens that could be alternatively used for the treatment of various types of B cell-derived cancers.

Intraperitoneal Pretargeted Radioimmunotherapy for Colorectal Peritoneal Carcinomatosis. Mol Cancer Ther 2022; 21:125-137. [PMID: 34667111 PMCID: PMC9157533 DOI: 10.1158/1535-7163.mct-21-0353] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2021] [Revised: 06/22/2021] [Accepted: 10/15/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) is considered incurable, and more effective therapies are needed. Herein we test the hypothesis that GPA33-directed intracompartmental pretargeted radioimmunotherapy (PRIT) can cure colorectal peritoneal carcinomatosis. Nude mice were implanted intraperitoneally with luciferase-transduced GPA33-expressing SW1222 cells for aggressive peritoneal carcinomatosis (e.g., resected tumor mass 0.369 ± 0.246 g; n = 17 on day 29). For GPA33-PRIT, we administered intraperitoneally a high-affinity anti-GPA33/anti-DOTA bispecific antibody (BsAb), followed by clearing agent (intravenous), and lutetium-177 (Lu-177) or yttrium-86 (Y-86) radiolabeled DOTA-radiohapten (intraperitoneal) for beta/gamma-emitter therapy and PET imaging, respectively. The DOTA-radiohaptens were prepared from S-2-(4-aminobenzyl)-1,4,7, 10-tetraazacyclododecane tetraacetic acid chelate (DOTA-Bn). Efficacy and toxicity of single- versus three-cycle therapy were evaluated in mice 26-27 days post-tumor implantation. Single-cycle treatment ([177Lu]LuDOTA-Bn 111 MBq; tumor dose: 4,992 cGy) significantly prolonged median survival (MS) approximately 2-fold to 84.5 days in comparison with controls (P = 0.007). With three-cycle therapy (once weekly, total 333 MBq; tumor dose: 14,975 cGy), 6/8 (75%) survived long-term (MS > 183 days). Furthermore, for these treated long-term survivors, 1 mouse was completely disease free (microscopic "cure") at necropsy; the others showed stabilized disease, which was detectable during PET-CT using [86Y]DOTA-Bn. Treatment controls had MS ranging from 42-52.5 days (P < 0.001) and 19/20 mice succumbed to progressive intraperitoneal disease by 69 days. Multi-cycle GPA33 DOTA-PRIT significantly prolongs survival with reversible myelosuppression and no chronic marrow (929 cGy to blood) or kidney (982 cGy) radiotoxicity, with therapeutic indices of 12 for blood and 12 for kidneys. MTD was not reached.

Abstract
Radioimmunotherapy (RIT) is FDA-approved for the clinical management of liquid malignancies, however, its use for solid malignancies remains a challenge. The putative benefit of RIT lies in selective targeting of antigens expressed on the tumor surface using monoclonal antibodies, to systemically deliver cytotoxic radionuclides. The past several decades yielded dramatic improvements in the quality, quantity, recent commercial availability of alpha-, beta- and Auger Electron-emitting therapeutic radiometals. Investigators have created new or improved existing bifunctional chelators. These bifunctional chelators bind radiometals and can be coupled to antigen-specific antibodies. In this review, we discuss approaches to develop radiometal-based RITs, including the selection of radiometals, chelators and antibody platforms (i.e. full-length, F(ab')2, Fab, minibodies, diabodies, scFv-Fc and nanobodies). We cite examples of the performance of RIT in the clinic, describe challenges to its implementation, and offer insights to address gaps toward translation.

A Self-Assembling and Disassembling (SADA) Bispecific Antibody (BsAb) Platform for Curative Two-step Pretargeted Radioimmunotherapy. Clin Cancer Res 2020; 27:532-541.

Abstract
PURPOSE Many cancer treatments suffer from dose-limiting toxicities to vital organs due to poor therapeutic indices. To overcome these challenges we developed a novel multimerization platform that rapidly removes tumor-targeting proteins from the blood to substantially improve therapeutic index. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN The platform was designed as a fusion of a self-assembling and disassembling (SADA) domain to a tandem single-chain bispecific antibody (BsAb, anti-ganglioside GD2 × anti-DOTA). SADA-BsAbs were assessed with multiple in vivo tumor models using two-step pretargeted radioimmunotherapy (PRIT) to evaluate tumor uptake, dosimetry, and antitumor responses. RESULTS SADA-BsAbs self-assembled into stable tetramers (220 kDa), but could also disassemble into dimers or monomers (55 kDa) that rapidly cleared via renal filtration and substantially reduced immunogenicity in mice. When used with rapidly clearing DOTA-caged PET isotopes, SADA-BsAbs demonstrated accurate tumor localization, dosimetry, and improved imaging contrast by PET/CT. When combined with therapeutic isotopes, two-step SADA-PRIT safely delivered massive doses of alpha-emitting (225Ac, 1.48 MBq/kg) or beta-emitting (177Lu, 6,660 MBq/kg) S-2-(4-aminobenzyl)-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane tetraacetic acid (DOTA) payloads to tumors, ablating them without any short-term or long-term toxicities to the bone marrow, kidneys, or liver. CONCLUSIONS The SADA-BsAb platform safely delivered large doses of radioisotopes to tumors and demonstrated no toxicities to the bone marrow, kidneys, or liver. Because of its modularity, SADA-BsAbs can be easily adapted to most tumor antigens, tumor types, or drug delivery approaches to improve therapeutic index and maximize the delivered dose.See related commentary by Capala and Kunos, p. 377.

Abstract
Patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) who are treated with rituximab may develop resistant disease, often associated with changes in expression of CD20. The next-generation β-particle–emitting radioimmunoconjugate 177Lu-lilotomab-satetraxetan (Betalutin) was shown to up-regulate CD20 expression in different rituximab-sensitive NHL cell lines and to act synergistically with rituximab in a rituximab-sensitive NHL animal model. We hypothesized that 177Lu-lilotomab-satetraxetan may be used to reverse rituximab resistance in NHL. Methods: The rituximab-resistant Raji2R and the parental Raji cell lines were used. CD20 expression was measured by flow cytometry. Antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) was measured by a bioluminescence reporter assay. The efficacies of combined treatments with 177Lu-lilotomab-satetraxetan (150 or 350 MBq/kg) and rituximab (4 × 10 mg/kg) were compared with those of single agents or phosphate-buffered saline in a Raji2R-xenograft model. Cox regression and the Bliss independence model were used to assess synergism. Results: Rituximab binding in Raji2R cells was 36% ± 5% of that in the rituximab-sensitive Raji cells. 177Lu-lilotomab-satetraxetan treatment of Raji2R cells increased the binding to 53% ± 3% of the parental cell line. Rituximab ADCC induction in Raji2R cells was 20% ± 2% of that induced in Raji cells, whereas treatment with 177Lu-lilotomab-satetraxetan increased the ADCC induction to 30% ± 3% of that in Raji cells, representing a 50% increase (P < 0.05). The combination of rituximab with 350 MBq/kg 177Lu-lilotomab-satetraxetan synergistically suppressed Raji2R tumor growth in athymic Foxn1nu mice. Conclusion:177Lu-lilotomab-satetraxetan has the potential to reverse rituximab resistance; it can increase rituximab binding and ADCC activity in vitro and can synergistically improve antitumor efficacy in vivo.

The therapeutic effectiveness of 177Lu-lilotomab in B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma involves modulation of G2/M cell cycle arrest. Leukemia 2019; 34:1315-1328.

Abstract
Some patients with B-cell non-Hodkin lymphoma Lymphoma (NHL) become refractory to rituximab (anti-CD20 antibody) therapy associated with chemotherapy. Here, the effect of the anti-CD37 antibody-radionuclide conjugate lutetium-177 (177Lu)-lilotomab (Betalutin®) was investigated in preclinical models of NHL. In SCID mice bearing DOHH2 (transformed follicular lymphoma, FL) cell xenografts, 177Lu-lilotomab significantly delayed tumor growth, even at low activity (100 MBq/kg). In athymic mice bearing OCI-Ly8 (diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, DLBCL) or Ramos (Burkitt’s lymphoma) cell xenografts, 177Lu-lilotomab activity had to be increased to 500 MBq/kg to show a significant tumor growth delay. Clonogenic and proliferation assays showed that DOHH2 cells were highly sensitive to 177Lu-lilotomab, while Ramos cells were the least sensitive, and U2932 (DLBCL), OCI-Ly8, and Rec-1 (mantle cell lymphoma) cells displayed intermediate sensitivity. The strong 177Lu-lilotomab cytotoxicity observed in DOHH2 cells correlated with reduced G2/M cell cycle arrest, lower WEE-1- and MYT-1-mediated phosphorylation of cyclin-dependent kinase-1 (CDK1), and higher apoptosis. In agreement, 177Lu-lilotomab efficacy in vitro, in vivo, and in patient samples was increased when combined with G2/M cell cycle arrest inhibitors (MK-1775 and PD-166285). These results indicate that 177Lu-lilotomab is particularly efficient in treating tumors with reduced inhibitory CDK1 phosphorylation, such as transformed FL.

Abstract
The CD37 targeting radioimmunoconjugate 177Lu-lilotomab satetraxetan (Betalutin) is currently being evaluated in a clinical phase 2b trial for patients with follicular lymphoma (FL) and in a phase 1 trial for patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Herein we have investigated the effect of 177Lu-lilotomab satetraxetan in seven activated B-cell like (ABC) DLBCL cell lines. Although the radioimmunoconjugate showed anti-tumor activity, primary resistance was observed in a subset of cell lines. Thus, we set out to identify drugs able to overcome the resistance to 177Lu-lilotomab satetraxetan in two resistant ABC-DLBCL cell lines. We performed a viability-based screen combining 177Lu-lilotomab satetraxetan with the 384-compound Cambridge Cancer Compound Library. Drug combinations were scored using Bliss and Chou-Talalay algorithms. We identified and characterized the dual-specific CDK1/2 and AURA/B kinase inhibitor JNJ-7706621 as compound able to revert the resistance to RIT, alongside topoisomerase and histone deacetylases (HDAC) inhibitors.

Abstract
Purpose The aim of this study was to explore the β-emitting lutetium-177 labelled anti-CD37 antibody NNV003 (177Lu-NNV003, Humalutin®) for the treatment of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in in vitro studies and in animal models. Methods Cytotoxicity of 177Lu-NNV003 was measured in REC-1 (mantle cell lymphoma) and DOHH-2 (diffuse large B cell lymphoma) cell lines. Biodistribution was studied in mice bearing subcutaneous DOHH-2 or MEC-2 (chronic lymphocytic leukaemia) xenografts. The therapeutic effect of a single injection of 177Lu-NNV003 was measured in mice intravenously or subcutaneously injected with REC-1 cells. Haematological and histopathological assessments were used to evaluate the toxic effect of 177Lu-NNV003. The immunotherapeutic effect of NNV003 was assessed by measuring binding to Fcγ receptors, activation of ADCC and ADCP. NNV003’s immunogenicity potential was assessed using in silico immunogenicity prediction tools. Results 177Lu-NNV003 showed an activity dependent antiproliferative effect in all cell lines. Maximum tumour uptake in vivo was 45% of injected activity/g in MEC-2 tumours and 15% injected activity/g in DOHH-2 tumours. In mice injected intravenously with REC-1 cells, 177Lu-NNV003 (50–100 MBq/kg) improved survival compared to control groups (p < 0.02). In mice with subcutaneous REC-1 xenografts, 500 MBq/kg 177Lu-NNV003 extended survival compared to the control treatments (p < 0.005). Transient haematological toxicity was observed in all mice treated with radioactivity. NNV003 induced ADCC and ADCP and was predicted to have a lower immunogenicity potential than its murine counterpart. Conclusion 177Lu-NNV003 had a significant anti-tumour effect and a favourable toxicity profile. These results warrant further clinical testing in patients with CD37-expressing B cell malignancies.

Abstract
Although use of the term "theranostic" is relatively recent, the concept goes back to the earliest days of nuclear medicine, with the use of radioiodine for diagnosis and therapy of benign and malignant thyroid disease being arguably the most successful molecular radiotherapy in history. A diagnostic scan with 123I-, 124I-, or a low activity of 131I-iodide is followed by therapy with high activity 131I-iodide. Similarly, adrenergic tumours such as phaeochromocytoma and neuroblastoma can be imaged with 123I-metaiodobenzylguanidine and treated with 131I-metaiodobenzylguanidine. Bone scintigraphy can be used to select patients with painful bone metastases from prostate cancer who may benefit from treatment with beta- or alpha-particle emitting bone seeking agents, the most recent and successful of which is 223Ra radium chloride. Anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies can be used to image and treat non-Hodgkins lymphoma, though this has not been as commercially successful as initially predicted. More recently established theranostics include somatostatin receptor targeting peptides for diagnosis and treatment of neuroendocrine tumours with agents such as 68Ga-DOTATATE and 177Lu-DOTATATE, respectively. Finally, agents which target prostate-specific membrane antigen are becoming increasingly widely available, despite the current lack of a commercial product. With the recent licensing of the somatostatin peptides and the rapid adoption of 68Ga- and 177Lu-labelled prostate-specific membrane antigen targeting agents, we have built upon the experience of radioiodine and are already seeing a great expansion in the availability of widely accepted theranostic radiopharmaceuticals.

Abstract
Today, monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are a widespread and necessary tool for biomedical science. In the hematological cancer field, since rituximab became the first mAb approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of B-cell malignancies, a number of effective mAbs targeting lineage-specific antigens (LSAs) have been successfully developed. Non-LSAs (NLSAs) are molecules that are not restricted to specific leukocyte subsets or tissues but play relevant pathogenic roles in blood cancers including the development, proliferation, survival, and refractoriness to therapy of tumor cells. In consequence, efforts to target NLSAs have resulted in a plethora of mAbs-marketed or in development-to achieve different goals like neutralizing oncogenic pathways, blocking tumor-related chemotactic pathways, mobilizing malignant cells from tumor microenvironment to peripheral blood, modulating immune-checkpoints, or delivering cytotoxic drugs into tumor cells. Here, we extensively review several novel mAbs directed against NLSAs undergoing clinical evaluation for treating hematological malignancies. The review focuses on the structure of these antibodies, proposed mechanisms of action, efficacy and safety profile in clinical studies, and their potential applications in the treatment of hematological malignancies.

Abstract
In theranostics, radiolabeled compounds are used to determine a treatment strategy by combining therapeutics and diagnostics in the same agent. Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and antibody-related therapeutics represent a rapidly expanding group of cancer medicines. Theranostic approaches using these drugs in oncology are particularly interesting because antibodies are designed against specific targets on the tumor cell membrane and immune cells as well as targets in the tumor microenvironment. In addition, these drugs are relatively easy to radiolabel. Noninvasive molecular imaging techniques, such as SPECT and PET, provide information on the whole-body distribution of radiolabeled mAbs and antibody-related therapeutics. Molecular antibody imaging can potentially elucidate drug target expression, tracer uptake in the tumor, tumor saturation, and heterogeneity for these parameters within the tumor. These data can support drug development and may aid in patient stratification and monitoring of the treatment response. Selecting a radionuclide for theranostic purposes generally starts by matching the serum half-life of the mAb or antibody-related therapeutic and the physical half-life of the radionuclide. Furthermore, PET imaging allows better quantification than the SPECT technique. This information has increased interest in theranostics using PET radionuclides with a relatively long physical half-life, such as 89Zr. In this review, we provide an overview of ongoing research on mAbs and antibody-related theranostics in preclinical and clinical oncologic settings. We identified 24 antibodies or antibody-related therapeutics labeled with PET radionuclides for theranostic purposes in patients. For this approach to become integrated in standard care, further standardization with respect to the procedures involved is required.

Abstract
177Lu-DOTA-HH1 (177Lu-HH1) is a novel anti-CD37 radioimmunoconjugate developed to treat non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Mice with subcutaneous Ramos xenografts were treated with different activities of 177Lu-HH1, 177Lu-DOTA-rituximab (177Lu-rituximab) and non-specific 177Lu-DOTA-IgG1 (177Lu-IgG1) and therapeutic effect and toxicity of the treatment were monitored. Significant tumor growth delay and increased survival of mice were observed in mice treated with 530 MBq/kg 177Lu-HH1 as compared with mice treated with similar activities of 177Lu-rituximab or non-specific 177Lu-IgG1, 0.9% NaCl or unlabeled HH1. All mice injected with 530 MBq/kg of 177Lu-HH1 tolerated the treatment well. In contrast, 6 out of 10 mice treated with 530 MBq/kg 177Lu-rituximab experienced severe radiation toxicity. The retention of 177Lu-rituximab in organs of the mononuclear phagocyte system was longer than for 177Lu-HH1, which explains the higher toxicity observed in mice treated with 177Lu-rituximab. In vitro internalization studies showed that 177Lu-HH1 internalizes faster and to a higher extent than 177Lu-rituximab which might be the reason for the better therapeutic effect of 177Lu-HH1.

Abstract
Tetraspanins belong to a family of transmembrane proteins which play a major role in the organization of the plasma membrane. While all immune cells express tetraspanins, most of these are present in a variety of other cell types. There are a select few, such as CD37 and CD53, which are restricted to hematopoietic lineages. Tetraspanins associate with numerous partners involved in a diverse set of biological processes, including cell activation, survival, proliferation, adhesion, and migration. The historical view has assigned them a scaffolding role, but recent discoveries suggest some tetraspanins can directly participate in signaling through interactions with cytoplasmic proteins. Given their potential roles in supporting tumor survival and immune evasion, an improved understanding of tetraspanin activity could prove clinically valuable. This review will focus on emerging data in the study of tetraspanins, advances in the clinical development of anti-CD37 therapeutics, and the future prospects of targeting tetraspanins in hematological malignancy.
