Abstract
PURPOSE In the emerging field of antibody treatments for neurodegenerative diseases, reliable tools are needed to evaluate new therapeutics, diagnose and select patients, monitor disease progression, and assess therapy response. Immuno-PET combines the high affinity and exceptional specificity of monoclonal antibodies with the non-invasive imaging technique positron emission tomography (PET). Its application in neurodegenerative disease brain imaging has been limited due to the marginal uptake across the blood-brain barrier (BBB). The emergence of BBB-shuttle antibodies with enhanced uptake across the BBB extended immuno-PET to brain imaging. We recently reported about specific brain uptake of a bispecific aducanumab mTfR antibody in APP/PS1 TG mice using 89Zr-immuno-PET. However, a sufficient target-to-background ratio was reached at a relatively late scanning time point of 7 days post-injection. To investigate if a better target-to-background ratio could be achieved earlier, an aducanumab BBB-shuttle with a mutated Fc region for reduced FcRn affinity was evaluated. PROCEDURES AduH310A-8D3 and Adu-8D3 were modified with DFO*-NCS and subsequently radiolabeled with 89Zr. The potential influence of the H310A mutation, modification with DFO*-NCS, and subsequent radiolabeling on the in vitro binding to amyloid-beta and mTfR1 was investigated via amyloid-beta peptide ELISA and FACS analysis using mTfR1 transfected CHO-S cells. Blood kinetics, brain uptake, in vivo PET imaging and target engagement of radiolabeled AduH310A-8D3 were evaluated and compared to non-mutated Adu-8D3 in APP/PS1 TG mice and wild-type animals as controls. RESULTS Radiolabeling was performed with sufficient radiochemical yields and radiochemical purity. In vitro binding to amyloid-beta and mTfR1 showed no impairment. [89Zr]Zr-AduH310A-8D3 showed faster blood clearance and earlier differentiation of amyloid-beta-related brain uptake compared to [89Zr]Zr-Adu-8D3. However, only half of the brain uptake was observed for [89Zr]Zr-AduH310A-8D3. CONCLUSIONS Although a faster blood clearance of AduH310A-8D3 was observed, it was concluded that no beneficial effects for 89Zr-immuno-PET imaging of brain uptake were obtained.

Epidemiology, clinical outcomes, and unmet needs of patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-positive breast cancer and brain metastases: A systematic literature review. Cancer Treat Rev 2023; 115:102527.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is an increasing need for developing effective therapies for managing intracranial disease in patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-positive (HER2 +) metastatic breast cancer and brain metastases (BM), as this population is growing and has historically been excluded from large clinical trials. In this systematic literature review, we aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of the epidemiology, unmet needs, and global treatment landscape for patients with HER2 + metastatic breast cancer and BM, with a particular focus on heterogeneity across clinical trial designs in this setting. METHODS We conducted literature searches of PubMed and select congress websites up to March 2022 and filtered for publications with a significant focus on epidemiology, unmet needs, or treatment outcomes in patients with HER2 + metastatic breast cancer and BM. RESULTS Key clinical trials of HER2-targeting treatments for HER2 + metastatic breast cancer had varying eligibility criteria relating to BM, with only two trials-HER2CLIMB and DEBBRAH-including patients with both active and stable BM. We also observed variance across assessed central nervous system (CNS)-focused endpoints (CNS objective response rate vs CNS progression-free survival vs time to CNS progression) and robustness of statistical analysis (prespecified vs exploratory). CONCLUSIONS There is an unmet need for standardization of clinical trial design for patients with HER2 + metastatic breast cancer and BM, to aid the interpretation of the global treatment landscape and ensure patients with all types of BM can access effective treatments.

Biodistribution Analysis of an Anti-EGFR Antibody in the Rat Brain: Validation of CSF Microcirculation as a Viable Pathway to Circumvent the Blood-Brain Barrier for Drug Delivery. Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:pharmaceutics14071441. [PMID: 35890344 PMCID: PMC9324388 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics14071441] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2022] [Revised: 06/24/2022] [Accepted: 07/04/2022] [Indexed: 01/02/2023] Open
Abstract
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) microcirculation refers to CSF flow through brain or spinal parenchyma. CSF enters the tissue along the perivascular spaces of the penetrating arteries where it mixes with the interstitial fluid circulating through the extracellular space. The potential of harnessing CSF microcirculation for drug delivery to deep areas of the brain remains an area of controversy. This paper sheds additional light on this debate by showing that ABT-806, an EGFR-specific humanized IgG1 monoclonal antibody (mAb), reaches both the cortical and the deep subcortical layers of the rat brain following intra-cisterna magna (ICM) injection. This is significant because the molecular weight of this mAb (150 kDa) is highest among proteins reported to have penetrated deeply into the brain via the CSF route. This finding further confirms the potential of CSF circulation as a drug delivery system for a large subset of molecules offering promise for the treatment of various brain diseases with poor distribution across the blood-brain barrier (BBB). ABT-806 is the parent antibody of ABT-414, an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) developed to engage EGFR-overexpressing glioblastoma (GBM) tumor cells. To pave the way for future efficacy studies for the treatment of GBM with an intra-CSF administered ADC consisting of a conjugate of ABT-806 (or of one of its close analogs), we verified in vivo the binding of ABT-414 to GBM tumor cells implanted in the cisterna magna and collected toxicity data from both the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral tissues. The current study supports further exploration of harnessing CSF microcirculation as an alternative to systemic delivery to achieve higher brain tissue exposure, while reducing previously reported ocular toxicity with ABT-414.

Performance of nanoScan PET/CT and PET/MR for quantitative imaging of 18F and 89Zr as compared with ex vivo biodistribution in tumor-bearing mice. EJNMMI Res 2021; 11:57. [PMID: 34117946 PMCID: PMC8197690 DOI: 10.1186/s13550-021-00799-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2021] [Accepted: 06/02/2021] [Indexed: 12/29/2022] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The assessment of ex vivo biodistribution is the preferred method for quantification of radiotracers biodistribution in preclinical models, but is not in line with current ethics on animal research. PET imaging allows for noninvasive longitudinal evaluation of tracer distribution in the same animals, but systemic comparison with ex vivo biodistribution is lacking. Our aim was to evaluate the potential of preclinical PET imaging for accurate tracer quantification, especially in tumor models. METHODS NEMA NU 4-2008 phantoms were filled with 11C, 68Ga, 18F, or 89Zr solutions and scanned in Mediso nanoPET/CT and PET/MR scanners until decay. N87 tumor-bearing mice were i.v. injected with either [18F]FDG (~ 14 MBq), kept 50 min under anesthesia followed by imaging for 20 min, or with [89Zr]Zr-DFO-NCS-trastuzumab (~ 5 MBq) and imaged 3 days post-injection for 45 min. After PET acquisition, animals were killed and organs of interest were collected and measured in a γ-counter to determine tracer uptake levels. PET data were reconstructed using TeraTomo reconstruction algorithm with attenuation and scatter correction and regions of interest were drawn using Vivoquant software. PET imaging and ex vivo biodistribution were compared using Bland-Altman plots. RESULTS In phantoms, the highest recovery coefficient, thus the smallest partial volume effect, was obtained with 18F for both PET/CT and PET/MR. Recovery was slightly lower for 11C and 89Zr, while the lowest recovery was obtained with 68Ga in both scanners. In vivo, tumor uptake of the 18F- or 89Zr-labeled tracer proved to be similar irrespective whether quantified by either PET/CT and PET/MR or ex vivo biodistribution with average PET/ex vivo ratios of 0.8-0.9 and a deviation of 10% or less. Both methods appeared less congruent in the quantification of tracer uptake in healthy organs such as brain, kidney, and liver, and depended on the organ evaluated and the radionuclide used. CONCLUSIONS Our study suggests that PET quantification of 18F- and 89Zr-labeled tracers is reliable for the evaluation of tumor uptake in preclinical models and a valuable alternative technique for ex vivo biodistribution. However, PET and ex vivo quantification require fully described experimental and analytical procedures for reliability and reproducibility.

Abstract
The identification of molecular drivers of disease and the compelling rise of biotherapeutics have impacted clinical care but have also come with challenges. Such therapeutics include peptides, monoclonal antibodies, antibody fragments and nontraditional binding scaffolds, activatable antibodies, bispecific antibodies, immunocytokines, antibody-drug conjugates, enzymes, polynucleotides, and therapeutic cells, as well as alternative drug carriers such as nanoparticles. Drug development is expensive, attrition rates are high, and efficacy rates are lower than desired. Almost all these drugs, which in general have a long residence time in the body, can stably be labeled with 89Zr for whole-body PET imaging and quantification. Although not restricted to monoclonal antibodies, this approach is called 89Zr-immuno-PET. This review summarizes the state of the art of the technical aspects of 89Zr-immuno-PET and illustrates why it has potential for steering the design, development, and application of biologic drugs. Appealing showcases are discussed to illustrate what can be learned with this emerging technology during preclinical and especially clinical studies about biologic drug formats and disease targets. In addition, an overview of ongoing and completed clinical trials is provided. Although 89Zr-immuno-PET is a young tool in drug development, its application is rapidly expanding, with first clinical experiences giving insight on why certain drug-target combinations might have better perspectives than others.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The inflammasome adaptor apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD (ASC) is involved in immune signaling by bridging the interactions between inflammasome sensors and caspase-1. Strong experimental evidence has shown that ASC-/- mice are protected from disease progression in animal models of multiple sclerosis (MS), suggesting that targeting inflammasome activation via ASC inhibition may be a promising therapeutic strategy in MS. Thus, the goal of our study is to test the efficacy of IC100, a novel humanized antibody targeting ASC, in preventing and/or suppressing disease in the experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) model of MS. METHODS We employed the EAE model of MS where disease was induced by immunization of C57BL/6 mice with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein peptide 35-55 (MOG35-55). Mice were treated with vehicle or increasing doses of IC100 (10, 30, and 45 mg/kg) and clinical disease course was evaluated up to 35 days post EAE induction. Immune cell infiltration into the spinal cord and microglia responses were assessed. RESULTS We show that IC100 treatment reduced the severity of EAE when compared to vehicle-treated controls. At a dose of 30 mg/kg, IC100 significantly reduced the number of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells and CD11b+MHCII+ activated myeloid cells entering the spinal cord from the periphery, and reduced the number of total and activated microglia. CONCLUSIONS These data indicate that IC100 suppresses the immune-inflammatory response that drives EAE development and progression, thereby identifying ASC as a promising target for the treatment of MS as well as other neurological diseases with a neuroinflammatory component.

Abstract
Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is a complex and potentially deadly disease. Neurosurgical clipping or endovascular coiling can successfully obliterate ruptured aneurysms in almost every case. However, despite successful interventions, the clinical outcomes of aSAH patients are often poor. The reasons for poor outcomes are numerous, including cerebral vasospasm (CVS), post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus, systemic infections and delayed cerebral ischemia. Although CVS with subsequent cerebral ischemia is one of the main contributors to brain damage after aSAH, little is known about the underlying molecular mechanisms of brain damage. This review emphasizes the importance of pharmacological interventions targeting high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1)-mediated brain damage after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and CVS. We searched Pubmed, Ovid medline and Scopus for "subarachnoid hemorrhage" in combination with "HMGB1". Based on these criteria, a total of 31 articles were retrieved. After excluding duplicates and selecting the relevant references from the retrieved articles, eight publications were selected for the review of the pharmacological interventions targeting HMGB1 in SAH. Damaged central nervous system cells release damage-associated molecular pattern molecules (DAMPs) that are important for initiating, driving and sustaining the inflammatory response following an aSAH. The discussed evidence suggested that HMGB1, an important DAMP, contributes to brain damage during early brain injury and also to the development of CVS during the late phase. Different pharmacological interventions employing natural compounds with HMGB1-antagonizing activity, antibody targeting of HMGB1 or scavenging HMGB1 by soluble receptors for advanced glycation end products (sRAGE), have been shown to dampen the inflammation mediated brain damage and protect against CVS. The experimental data suggest that HMGB1 inhibition is a promising strategy to reduce aSAH-related brain damage and CVS. Clinical studies are needed to validate these findings that may lead to the development of potential treatment options that are much needed in aSAH.

Abstract
This review highlights the added value of PET imaging in Central Nervous System (CNS) tumors, which is a tool that has rapidly evolved from a merely diagnostic setting to multimodal molecular diagnostics and the guidance of targeted therapy. PET is the method of choice for studying target expression and target binding behind the assumedly intact blood-brain barrier. Today, a variety of diagnostic PET tracers can be used for the primary staging of CNS tumors and to determine the effect of therapy. Additionally, theranostic PET tracers are increasingly used in the context of pharmaceutical and radiopharmaceutical drug development and application. In this approach, a single targeted drug is used for PET diagnosis, upon the coupling of a PET radionuclide, as well as for targeted (nuclide) therapy. Theranostic PET tracers have the potential to serve as a non-invasive whole body navigator in the selection of the most effective drug candidates and their most optimal dose and administration route, together with the potential to serve as a predictive biomarker in the selection of patients who are most likely to benefit from treatment. PET imaging supports the transition from trial and error medicine to predictive, preventive, and personalized medicine, hopefully leading to improved quality of life for patients and more cost-effective care.
