Abstract
Carbon-11 (11C) is a widely used radionuclide for positron emission tomography (PET) owing to the omnipresence of carbon atoms in organic molecules. While its half-life of 20.4 min is ideal for imaging and dosimetry, it also limits the synthetic possibilities. As such, the development of fast and easy, high-yielding synthesis methods is crucial for the application of 11C-labeled tracers in humans. In this study, we present a novel and efficient method for the reaction of [11C]CO2 with amine precursors using benzotriazole-1-yl-oxy-tris-(dimethylamino)-phosphonium hexafluorophosphate (BOP) to access 11C-labeled ureas. Our method is extremely fast as it only requires transfer of [11C]CO2 into a solution with precursor and BOP at room temperature, where it reacts momentary into the desired 11C-labeled urea. This simple procedure makes it possible to radiolabel urea directly from [11C]CO2 without the need for advanced equipment, making the method applicable for all laboratories where [11C]CO2 is available. We synthesized a small series of aliphatic symmetrical and non-symmetrical 11C-labeled ureas using this method, and achieved good to excellent yields. The novelty of our study lies in the fact that peptide coupling reagent BOP is used for the first time in radiochemistry to activate [11C]CO2, facilitating its reaction with amines to obtain 11C-labeled ureas.

Abstract
Positron emission tomography (PET) is becoming increasingly important in nuclear medicine and drug discovery. To date, the development of many potential PET tracers is hampered by the lack of suitable synthetic pathways for their preparation. This is particularly true for the highly desired radiolabeling of compounds bearing [18F]CF3-groups. For instance, S(O)nCF3-groups (n = 0, 1, 2) serve as structural motif in a range of biologically active compounds, but their radiosynthesis remains largely unprecedented (for n = 1, 2). Herein, we describe general methods for the radiosynthesis of 18F-labeled aryl trifluoromethyl sulfones, -sulfoxides, and -sulfides. All three methods are operationally straightforward, start from widely available precursors, i.e., sulfonyl fluorides and thiophenols, and make use of the recently established [18F]Ruppert-Prakash reagent. Further, the syntheses display good functional group tolerance as demonstrated by the 18F-labeling of more than 40 compounds. The applicability of the new method is demonstrated by the radiolabeling of three bioactive molecules, optionally to be used as PET tracers. In a broader context, this work presents a substantial expansion of the chemical space of radiofluorinated structural motifs to be used for the development of new PET tracers.

Abstract
The histamine H4 receptor (H4R) plays key role in immune cell function and is a highly valued target for treating allergic and inflammatory diseases. However, structural information of H4R remains elusive. Here, we report four cryo-EM structures of H4R/Gi complexes, with either histamine or synthetic agonists clobenpropit, VUF6884 and clozapine bound. Combined with mutagenesis, ligand binding and functional assays, the structural data reveal a distinct ligand binding mode where D943.32 and a π-π network determine the orientation of the positively charged group of ligands, while E1825.46, located at the opposite end of the ligand binding pocket, plays a key role in regulating receptor activity. The structural insight into H4R ligand binding allows us to identify mutants at E1825.46 for which the agonist clobenpropit acts as an inverse agonist and to correctly predict inverse agonism of a closely related analog with nanomolar potency. Together with the findings regarding receptor activation and Gi engagement, we establish a framework for understanding H4R signaling and provide a rational basis for designing novel antihistamines targeting H4R.

Abstract
Atypical chemokine receptor 3 (ACKR3), formerly referred to as CXCR7, is considered to be an interesting drug target. In this study, we report on the synthesis, pharmacological characterization and radiolabeling of VUF15485, a new ACKR3 small-molecule agonist, that will serve as an important new tool to study this β-arrestin-biased chemokine receptor. VUF15485 binds with nanomolar affinity (pIC50 = 8.3) to human ACKR3, as measured in [125I]CXCL12 competition binding experiments. Moreover, in a bioluminescence resonance energy transfer-based β-arrestin2 recruitment assay VUF15485 acts as a potent ACKR3 agonist (pEC50 = 7.6) and shows a similar extent of receptor activation compared with CXCL12 when using a newly developed, fluorescence resonance energy transfer-based ACKR3 conformational sensor. Moreover, the ACKR3 agonist VUF15485, tested against a (atypical) chemokine receptor panel (agonist and antagonist mode), proves to be selective for ACKR3. VUF15485 labeled with tritium at one of its methoxy groups ([3H]VUF15485), binds ACKR3 saturably and with high affinity (K d = 8.2 nM). Additionally, [3H]VUF15485 shows rapid binding kinetics and consequently a short residence time (<2 minutes) for binding to ACKR3. The selectivity of [3H]VUF15485 for ACKR3, was confirmed by binding studies, whereupon CXCR3, CXCR4, and ACKR3 small-molecule ligands were competed for binding against the radiolabeled agonist. Interestingly, the chemokine ligands CXCL11 and CXCL12 are not able to displace the binding of [3H]VUF15485 to ACKR3. The radiolabeled VUF15485 was subsequently used to evaluate its binding pocket. Site-directed mutagenesis and docking studies using a recently solved cryo-EM structure propose that VUF15485 binds in the major and the minor binding pocket of ACKR3. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: The atypical chemokine receptor atypical chemokine receptor 3 (ACKR3) is considered an interesting drug target in relation to cancer and multiple sclerosis. The study reports on new chemical biology tools for ACKR3, i.e., a new agonist that can also be radiolabeled and a new ACKR3 conformational sensor, that both can be used to directly study the interaction of ACKR3 ligands with the G protein-coupled receptor.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Accurate image-derived input function (IDIF) from highly sensitive large axial field of view (LAFOV) PET/CT scanners could avoid the need of invasive blood sampling for kinetic modelling. The aim is to validate the use of IDIF for two kinds of tracers, 3 different IDIF locations and 9 different reconstruction settings. METHODS Eight [18F]FDG and 10 [18F]DPA-714 scans were acquired respectively during 70 and 60 min on the Vision Quadra PET/CT system. PET images were reconstructed using various reconstruction settings. IDIFs were taken from ascending aorta (AA), descending aorta (DA), and left ventricular cavity (LV). The calibration factor (CF) extracted from the comparison between the IDIFs and the manual blood samples as reference was used for IDIFs accuracy and precision assessment. To illustrate the effect of various calibrated-IDIFs on Patlak linearization for [18F]FDG and Logan linearization for [18F]DPA-714, the same target time-activity curves were applied for each calibrated-IDIF. RESULTS For [18F]FDG, the accuracy and precision of the IDIFs were high (mean CF ≥ 0.82, SD ≤ 0.06). Compared to the striatum influx (Ki) extracted using calibrated AA IDIF with the updated European Association of Nuclear Medicine Research Ltd. standard reconstruction (EARL2), Ki mean differences were < 2% using the other calibrated IDIFs. For [18F]DPA714, high accuracy of the IDIFs was observed (mean CF ≥ 0.86) except using absolute scatter correction, DA and LV (respectively mean CF = 0.68, 0.47 and 0.44). However, the precision of the AA IDIFs was low (SD ≥ 0.10). Compared to the distribution volume (VT) in a frontal region obtained using calibrated continuous arterial sampler input function as reference, VT mean differences were small using calibrated AA IDIFs (for example VT mean difference = -5.3% using EARL2), but higher using calibrated DA and LV IDIFs (respectively + 12.5% and + 19.1%). CONCLUSIONS For [18F]FDG, IDIF do not need calibration against manual blood samples. For [18F]DPA-714, AA IDIF can replace continuous arterial sampling for simplified kinetic quantification but only with calibration against arterial blood samples. The accuracy and precision of IDIF from LAFOV PET/CT system depend on tracer, reconstruction settings and IDIF VOI locations, warranting careful optimization.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) kinase domain are common in non-small cell lung cancer. Conventional tyrosine kinase inhibitors target the mutation site in the ATP binding pocket, thereby inhibiting the receptor's function. However, subsequent treatment resistance mutations in the ATP binding site are common. The EGFR allosteric inhibitor, EAI045, is proposed to have an alternative mechanism of action, disrupting receptor signaling independent of the ATP-binding site. The antibody cetuximab is hypothesized to increase the number of accessible allosteric pockets for EAI045, thus increasing the potency of the inhibitor. This work aimed to gain further knowledge on pharmacokinetics, the EGFR mutation-targeting potential, and the influence of cetuximab on the uptake by radiolabeling EAI045 with carbon-11 and tritium. RESULTS 2-(5-fluoro-2-hydroxyphenyl)-2-((2-iodobenzyl)amino)-N-(thiazol-2-yl)acetamide and 2-(5-fluoro-2-hydroxyphenyl)-N-(5-iodothiazol-2-yl)-2-(1-oxoisoindolin-2-yl)acetamide were synthesized as precursors for the carbon-11 and tritium labeling of EAI045, respectively. [11C]EAI045 was synthesized using [11C]CO in a palladium-catalyzed ring closure in a 10 ± 1% radiochemical yield (decay corrected to end of [11C]CO2 production), > 97% radiochemical purity and 26 ± 1 GBq/µmol molar activity (determined at end of synthesis) in 51 min. [3H]EAI045 was synthesized by a tritium-halogen exchange in a 0.2% radiochemical yield, 98% radiochemical purity, and 763 kBq/nmol molar activity. The ability of [11C]EAI045 to differentiate between L858R/T790M mutated EGFR expressing H1975 xenografts and wild-type EGFR expressing A549 xenografts was evaluated in female nu/nu mice. The uptake was statistically significantly higher in H1975 xenografts compared to A549 xenografts (0.45 ± 0.07%ID/g vs. 0.31 ± 0.10%ID/g, P = 0.0166). The synergy in inhibition between EAI045 and cetuximab was evaluated in vivo and in vitro. While there was some indication that cetuximab influenced the uptake of [3H]EAI045 in vitro, this could not be confirmed in vivo when tumor-bearing mice were administered cetuximab (0.5 mg), 24 h prior to injection of [11C]EAI045. CONCLUSIONS EAI045 was successfully labeled with tritium and carbon-11, and the in vivo results indicated [11C]EAI045 may be able to distinguish between mutated and non-mutated EGFR in non-small cell lung cancer mouse models. Cetuximab was hypothesized to increase EAI045 uptake; however, no significant effect was observed on the uptake of [11C]EAI045 in vivo or [3H]EAI045 in vitro in H1975 xenografts and cells.

Abstract
Radiolabeled amino acids (AAs), their derivatives, and peptides are essential radiotracers in nuclear imaging. Despite its potential, the preparation of enantiopure radiopharmaceuticals poses several challenges, demanding a great need for rapid and stereocontrolled reactions. This chapter describes a highly stereoselective carbon-11 alkylation of Schiff bases, to obtain radiolabeled AAs and small peptides. The method uses chiral quaternary ammonium salt phase-transfer catalyst with two alkylating agents, namely, [11C]methyl iodide and [11C]benzyl iodide. This methodology allows the radiolabeling of AAs and peptides with excellent regioselectivity and enantiomeric or diastereomeric excess.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Recently, the US Food and Drug Administration approved the tau-binding radiotracer [18F]flortaucipir and an accompanying visual read method to support the diagnostic process in cognitively impaired patients assessed for Alzheimer disease (AD). Studies evaluating this visual read method are limited. In this study, we evaluated the performance of the visual read method in participants along the AD continuum and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) by determining its reliability, accordance with semiquantitative analyses, and associations with clinically relevant variables. METHODS We included participants who underwent tau-PET at Amsterdam University Medical Center. A subset underwent follow-up tau-PET. Two trained nuclear medicine physicians visually assessed all scans. Inter-reader agreement was calculated using Cohen κ. To examine the concordance of visual read tau positivity with semiquantification, we defined standardized uptake value ratio (SUVr) positivity using different threshold approaches. To evaluate the prognostic value of tau-PET visual read, we performed linear mixed models with longitudinal Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). RESULTS We included 263 participants (mean age 68.5 years, 45.6% female), including 147 cognitively unimpaired (CU) participants, 97 amyloid-positive participants with mild cognitive impairment or AD dementia (AD), and 19 participants with DLB. The visual read inter-reader agreement was excellent (κ = 0.95, CI 0.91-0.99). None of the amyloid-negative CU participants (0/92 [0%]) and 1 amyloid-negative participant with DLB (1/12 [8.3%]) were tau-positive. Among amyloid-positive participants, 13 CU participants (13/52 [25.0%]), 85 with AD (85/97 [87.6%]), and 3 with DLB (3/7 [42.9%]) were tau-positive. Two-year follow-up visual read status was identical to baseline. Tau-PET visual read corresponded strongly to SUVr status, with up to 90.4% concordance. Visual read tau positivity was associated with a decline on the MMSE in CU participants (β = -0.52, CI -0.74 to -0.30, p < 0.001) and participants with AD (β = -0.30, CI -0.58 to -0.02, p = 0.04). DISCUSSION The excellent inter-reader agreement, strong correspondence with SUVr, and longitudinal stability indicate that the visual read method is reliable and robust, supporting clinical application. Furthermore, visual read tau positivity was associated with prospective cognitive decline, highlighting its additional prognostic potential. Future studies in unselected cohorts are needed for a better generalizability to the clinical population. CLASSIFICATION OF EVIDENCE This study provides Class II evidence that [18F]flortaucipir visual read accurately distinguishes patients with low tau-tracer binding from those with high tau-tracer binding and is associated with amyloid positivity and cognitive decline.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Positron emission tomography (PET) is a powerful, non-invasive preclinical and clinical nuclear imaging technique used in disease diagnosis and therapy assessment. Fluorine-18 is the predominant radionuclide used for PET tracer synthesis. An impressive variety of new 'late-stage' radiolabeling methodologies for the preparation of 18F-labeled tracers has appeared in order to improve the efficiency of the labeling reaction. MAIN BODY Despite these developments, one outstanding challenge into the early key steps of the process remains: the preparation of reactive [18F]fluoride from oxygen-18 enriched water ([18O]H2O). In the last decade, significant changes into the trapping, elution and drying stages have been introduced. This review provides an overview of the strategies and recent developments in the production of reactive [18F]fluoride and its use for radiolabeling. CONCLUSION Improved, modified or even completely new fluorine-18 work-up procedures have been developed in the last decade with widespread use in base-sensitive nucleophilic 18F-fluorination reactions. The many promising developments may lead to a few standardized drying methodologies for the routine production of a broad scale of PET tracers.

Abstract
Activated Abelson non-receptor tyrosine kinase (c-Abl) plays a harmful role in neurodegenerative conditions such as Parkinson's disease (PD). Inhibition of c-Abl is reported to have a neuroprotective effect and be a promising therapeutic strategy for PD. We have previously identified a series of benzo[d]thiazole derivatives as selective c-Abl inhibitors from which one compound showed high therapeutic potential. Herein, we report the development of a complementary positron emission tomography (PET) tracer. In total, three PET tracer candidates were developed and eventually radiolabeled with fluorine-18 for in vivo evaluation studies in mice. Candidate [18F]3 was identified as the most promising compound, since it showed sufficient brain uptake, good washout kinetics, and satisfactory metabolic stability. In conclusion, we believe this tracer provides a good starting point to further validate and explore c-Abl as a target for therapeutic strategies against PD supported by PET.

Abstract
Brigatinib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) with specificity for gene rearranged anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), such as the EML4-ALK, has shown a potential to inhibit mutated epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). In this study, N-desmethyl brigatinib was successfully synthesized as a precursor in five steps. Radiolabeling with [11C]methyl iodide produced [methylpiperazine-11C]brigatinib in a 10 ± 2% radiochemical yield, 91 ± 17 GBq/μmol molar activity, and ≥95% radiochemical purity in 49 ± 4 min. [Methylpiperazine-11C]brigatinib was evaluated in non-small cell lung cancer xenografted female nu/nu mice. An hour post-injection (p.i.), 87% of the total radioactivity in plasma originated from intact [methylpiperazine-11C]brigatinib. Significant differences in tumor uptake were observed between the endogenously EML4-ALK mutated H2228 and the control xenograft A549. The tumor-to-blood ratio in H2228 xenografts could be reduced by pretreatment with ALK inhibitor crizotinib. Tracer uptake in EGFR Del19 mutated HCC827 and EML4-ALK fusion A549 was not significantly different from uptake in A549 xenografts.

Abstract
The amyloid cascade hypothesis has strongly impacted the Alzheimer's disease research agenda and clinical trial designs over the past decades, but precisely how amyloid-β pathology initiates the aggregation of neocortical tau remains unclear. We cannot exclude the possibility of a shared upstream process driving both amyloid-β and tau in an independent manner instead of there being a causal relationship between amyloid-β and tau. Here, we tested the premise that if a causal relationship exists, then exposure should be associated with outcome both at the individual level as well as within identical twin-pairs, who are strongly matched on genetic, demographic and shared environmental background. Specifically, we tested associations between longitudinal amyloid-β PET and cross-sectional tau PET, neurodegeneration and cognitive decline using genetically identical twin-pair difference models, which provide the unique opportunity of ruling out genetic and shared environmental effects as potential confounders in an association. We included 78 cognitively unimpaired identical twins with [18F]flutemetamol (amyloid-β)-PET, [18F]flortaucipir (tau)-PET, MRI (hippocampal volume) and cognitive data (composite memory). Associations between each modality were tested at the individual level using generalized estimating equation models, and within identical twin-pairs using within-pair difference models. Mediation analyses were performed to test for directionality in the associations as suggested by the amyloid cascade hypothesis. At the individual level, we observed moderate-to-strong associations between amyloid-β, tau, neurodegeneration and cognition. The within-pair difference models replicated results observed at the individual level with comparably strong effect sizes. Within-pair differences in amyloid-β were strongly associated with within-pair differences in tau (β = 0.68, P < 0.001), and moderately associated with within-pair differences in hippocampal volume (β = -0.37, P = 0.03) and memory functioning (β = -0.57, P < 0.001). Within-pair differences in tau were moderately associated with within-pair differences in hippocampal volume (β = -0.53, P < 0.001) and strongly associated with within-pair differences in memory functioning (β = -0.68, P < 0.001). Mediation analyses showed that of the total twin-difference effect of amyloid-β on memory functioning, the proportion mediated through pathways including tau and hippocampal volume was 69.9%, which was largely attributable to the pathway leading from amyloid-β to tau to memory functioning (proportion mediated, 51.6%). Our results indicate that associations between amyloid-β, tau, neurodegeneration and cognition are unbiased by (genetic) confounding. Furthermore, effects of amyloid-β on neurodegeneration and cognitive decline were fully mediated by tau. These novel findings in this unique sample of identical twins are compatible with the amyloid cascade hypothesis and thereby provide important new knowledge for clinical trial designs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients initially develop respiratory symptoms, but they may also suffer from neurological symptoms. People with long-lasting effects after acute infections with severe respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), i.e., post-COVID syndrome or long COVID, may experience a variety of neurological manifestations. Although we do not fully understand how SARS-CoV-2 affects the brain, neuroinflammation likely plays a role. METHODS To investigate neuroinflammatory processes longitudinally after SARS-CoV-2 infection, four experimentally SARS-CoV-2 infected rhesus macaques were monitored for 7 weeks with 18-kDa translocator protein (TSPO) positron emission tomography (PET) using [18F]DPA714, together with computed tomography (CT). The baseline scan was compared to weekly PET-CTs obtained post-infection (pi). Brain tissue was collected following euthanasia (50 days pi) to correlate the PET signal with TSPO expression, and glial and endothelial cell markers. Expression of these markers was compared to brain tissue from uninfected animals of comparable age, allowing the examination of the contribution of these cells to the neuroinflammatory response following SARS-CoV-2 infection. RESULTS TSPO PET revealed an increased tracer uptake throughout the brain of all infected animals already from the first scan obtained post-infection (day 2), which increased to approximately twofold until day 30 pi. Postmortem immunohistochemical analysis of the hippocampus and pons showed TSPO expression in cells expressing ionized calcium-binding adaptor molecule 1 (IBA1), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), and collagen IV. In the hippocampus of SARS-CoV-2 infected animals the TSPO+ area and number of TSPO+ cells were significantly increased compared to control animals. This increase was not cell type specific, since both the number of IBA1+TSPO+ and GFAP+TSPO+ cells was increased, as well as the TSPO+ area within collagen IV+ blood vessels. CONCLUSIONS This study manifests [18F]DPA714 as a powerful radiotracer to visualize SARS-CoV-2 induced neuroinflammation. The increased uptake of [18F]DPA714 over time implies an active neuroinflammatory response following SARS-CoV-2 infection. This inflammatory signal coincides with an increased number of TSPO expressing cells, including glial and endothelial cells, suggesting neuroinflammation and vascular dysregulation. These results demonstrate the long-term neuroinflammatory response following a mild SARS-CoV-2 infection, which potentially precedes long-lasting neurological symptoms.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Osimertinib is a third-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) that is able to inhibit the EGFR treatment resistance mutation T790M and primary EGFR mutations Del19 and L858R. The aim of the study was to evaluate the potential of carbon-11 labeled osimertinib to be used as a tracer for the PET imaging of tumors bearing the T790M mutation. METHODS Osimertinib was labeled with carbon-11 at two positions, and the effect of the labeling position on the metabolism and biodistribution was studied in female nu/nu mice. The mutation status specificity of osimertinib was confirmed in vitro in a cell growth inhibition experiment, and the tumor-targeting potential of the carbon-11 isotopologues was evaluated using female nu/nu mice xenografted with NSCLC cell lines; the wild-type EGFR expressing A549, the primary Del19 EGFR mutated HCC827 and the resistance T790M/L858R mutated H1975. One of the osimertinib tracers was selected based on the results acquired and evaluated for tracer specificity and selectivity by assessment of tumor uptake in a PET study where HCC827 tumor-bearing mice were pretreated with osimertinib or afatinib. RESULTS [Methylindole-11C]- and [dimethylamine-11C]osimertinib were synthesized by 11C-methylation of precursors AZ5104 and AZ7550, respectively. Rapid metabolism of both analogs of [11C]osimertinib was observed. Although the tumor uptake and retention of [methylindole-11C]- and [dimethylamine-11C]osimertinib in tumors were similar, the tumor-to-muscle ratios appeared to be higher for [methylindole-11C]osimertinib. The highest uptake, tumor-to-blood, and tumor-to-muscle ratio were observed in the Del19 EGFR mutated HCC827 tumors. However, the specificity and selectivity of [methylindole-11C]osimertinib PET could not be demonstrated in HCC827 tumors. The uptake of [methylindole-11C]osimertinib was not significantly higher in T790M resistance mutated H1975 xenografts compared to the negative control cell line A549. CONCLUSIONS Osimertinib was successfully labeled at two positions with carbon-11, yielding two EGFR PET tracers, [methylindole-11C]osimertinib and [dimethylamine-11C]osimertinib. The preclinical evaluation demonstrated uptake and retention in three NSCLC xenografts; A549, HCC827, and H1975. The highest uptake was observed in the primary Del19 EGFR mutated HCC827. The ability of [methylindole-11C]osimertinib to distinguish between the T790M resistance mutated H1975 xenografts and the wild-type EGFR expressing A549 could not be confirmed in the ex vivo study.

Abstract
PURPOSE The recent conditional FDA approval of Aducanumab (Adu) for treating Alzheimer's disease (AD) and the continued discussions around that decision have increased interest in immunotherapy for AD and other brain diseases. Reliable techniques for brain imaging of antibodies may guide decision-making in the future but needs further development. In this study, we used 89Zr-immuno-PET to evaluate the targeting and distribution of a bispecific brain-shuttle IgG based on Adu with transferrin receptor protein-1 (TfR1) shuttling mechanism, mAbAdu-scFab8D3, designated Adu-8D3, as a candidate theranostic for AD. We also validated the 89Zr-immuno-PET platform as an enabling technology for developing new antibody-based theranostics for brain disorders. METHODS Adu, Adu-8D3, and the non-binding control construct B12-8D3 were modified with DFO*-NCS and radiolabeled with 89Zr. APP/PS1 mice were injected with 89Zr-labeled mAbs and imaged on days 3 and 7 by positron emission tomography (PET). Ex vivo biodistribution was performed on day 7, and ex vivo autoradiography and immunofluorescence staining were done on brain tissue to validate the PET imaging results and target engagement with amyloid-β plaques. Additionally, [89Zr]Zr-DFO*-Adu-8D3 was evaluated in 3, 7, and 10-month-old APP/PS1 mice to test its potential in early stage disease. RESULTS A 7-fold higher brain uptake was observed for [89Zr]Zr-DFO*-Adu-8D3 compared to [89Zr]Zr-DFO*-Adu and a 2.7-fold higher uptake compared to [89Zr]Zr-DFO*-B12-8D3 on day 7. Autoradiography and immunofluorescence of [89Zr]Zr-DFO*-Adu-8D3 showed co-localization with amyloid plaques, which was not the case with the Adu and B12-8D3 conjugates. [89Zr]Zr-DFO*-Adu-8D3 was able to detect low plaque load in 3-month-old APP/PS1 mice. CONCLUSION 89Zr-DFO*-immuno-PET revealed high and specific uptake of the bispecific Adu-8D3 in the brain and can be used for the early detection of Aβ plaque pathology. Here, we demonstrate that 89Zr-DFO*-immuno-PET can be used to visualize and quantify brain uptake of mAbs and contribute to the evaluation of biological therapeutics for brain diseases.

Abstract
Transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) activity is perturbed in remodelled pulmonary vasculature of patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), cancer, vascular diseases and developmental disorders. Inhibition of TGFβ, which signals via activin receptor-like kinase 5 (ALK5), prevents progression and development of experimental PAH. The purpose of this study was to assess two ALK5 targeting positron emission tomography (PET) tracers ([11C]LR111 and [18F]EW-7197) for imaging ALK5 in monocrotaline (MCT)- and Sugen/hypoxia (SuHx)-induced PAH. Both tracers were subjected to extensive in vitro and in vivo studies. [11C]LR111 showed the highest metabolic stability, as 46 ± 2% of intact tracer was still present in rat blood plasma after 60 min. In autoradiography experiments, [11C]LR111 showed high ALK5 binding in vitro compared with controls, 3.2 and 1.5 times higher in SuHx and MCT, respectively. In addition, its binding could be blocked by SB431542, an adenosine triphosphate competitive ALK5 kinase inhibitor. However, [18F]EW-7197 showed the best in vivo results. 15 min after injection, uptake was 2.5 and 1.4 times higher in the SuHx and MCT lungs, compared with controls. Therefore, [18F]EW-7197 is a promising PET tracer for ALK5 imaging in PAH.

Abstract
Both plasma tau phosphorylated at threonine-181 (pTau181) and tau PET show potential for detecting Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology and predicting clinical progression. In this study, we performed a head-to-head comparison between plasma pTau181 and tau PET along the AD continuum. Methods: We included participants from the Amsterdam Dementia Cohort who underwent 18F-flortaucipir (tau) PET and had a plasma sample biobanked within 12 mo from tau PET. Fifty subjective cognitive decline (SCD) participants (31 Aβ-negative and 19 Aβ-positive) and 60 Aβ-positive participants with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or dementia due to AD were included. A subset had 2-y longitudinal plasma pTau181 and tau PET available (n = 40). Longitudinal neuropsychological test data covering 3.2 ± 2.7 y from both before and after tau PET were available. Plasma pTau181 and tau PET were compared in their accuracies in discriminating between cognitive stage (MCI/AD vs. SCD) and preclinical Aβ status (SCD Aβ-positive vs. SCD Aβ-negative), their associations with cross-sectional and longitudinal neuropsychological test performance, and their longitudinal changes over time. Results: When discriminating between preclinical Aβ status, the area under the curve (AUC) for plasma pTau181 (0.83) and tau PET (entorhinal, 0.87; temporal, 0.85; neocortical, 0.67) were equally high (all DeLong P > 0.05), but tau PET outperformed plasma pTau181 in discriminating MCI/AD from SCD (AUC for plasma pTau181: 0.74; AUCs for tau PET: entorhinal, 0.89; temporal, 0.92; neocortical, 0.89) (all P < 0.01). Overall, tau PET showed stronger associations with cognitive decline and was associated with a wider variety of cognitive tests than plasma pTau181 (plasma pTau181, -0.02 > β < -0.12; tau PET, -0.01 > β < -0.22). Both plasma pTau181 and tau PET increased more steeply over time in MCI/AD than in SCD (P < 0.05), but only tau PET annual changes were associated with cognitive decline. Conclusion: Our results suggest that plasma pTau181 and tau PET perform equally well in identifying Aβ pathology but that tau PET better monitors disease stage and clinical progression.

Abstract
PURPOSE Positron emission tomography (PET) with 16α-[18F]-fluoro-17β-estradiol ([18F]FES) allows assessment of whole body estrogen receptor (ER) expression. The aim of this study was to investigate [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose ([18F]FDG) and [18F]FES PET/CT imaging for response prediction and monitoring of drug activity in patients with metastatic ER+ breast cancer undergoing treatment with the selective estrogen receptor downregulator (SERD) rintodestrant. PATIENTS AND METHODS In this trial (NCT03455270), PET/CT imaging was performed at baseline ([18F]FDG and [18F]FES), during treatment and at time of progression (only [18F]FES). Visual, quantitative and mutational analysis was performed to derive a heterogeneity score (HS) and assess tracer uptake in lesions, in relation to the mutation profile. The primary outcome was progression-free survival (PFS). RESULTS The HS and PFS in the entire group did not correlate (n=16, Spearman's rho, P=0.06), but patients with a low HS (<25.0%, n=4) had a PFS of >5 months whereas patients with no [18F]FES uptake (HS 100.0%, n =3) had a PFS of <2 months. [18F]FES uptake was not affected by ESR1 mutations. On-treatment [18F]FES PET/CT scans showed no [18F]FES uptake in any of the baseline [18F]FES positive lesions. At progression, [18F]FES uptake remained blocked in patients scanned ≤1-2 half-lives of rintodestrant whereas it restored in patients scanned ≥5 days after end of treatment. CONCLUSION Absence of ER expression on [18F]FES PET is a predictor for no response to rintodestrant. [18F]FES uptake during treatment and at time of progression is useful to monitor the (reversible) effect of therapy and continued mode of action of SERDs.

Abstract
The membrane-based purinergic 7 receptor (P2X7R) is expressed on activated microglia and the target of the radioligand [11C]SMW139 for in vivo assessment of neuroinflammation. This study investigated the contribution of radiolabelled metabolites which potentially affect its quantification. Ex vivo high-performance liquid chromatography with a radio detector (radioHPLC) was used to evaluate the parent and radiometabolite fractions of [11C]SMW139 in the brain and plasma of eleven mice. Twelve healthy humans underwent 90-min [11C]SMW139 brain PET with arterial blood sampling and radiometabolite analysis. The volume of distribution was estimated by using one- and two- tissue compartment (TCM) modeling with single (VT) and dual (VTp) input functions. RadioHPLC showed three major groups of radiometabolite peaks with increasing concentrations in the plasma of all mice and humans. Two radiometabolite peaks were also visible in mice brain homogenates and therefore considered for dual input modeling in humans. 2TCM with single input function provided VT estimates with a wide range (0.10-10.74) and high coefficient of variation (COV: 159.9%), whereas dual input function model showed a narrow range of VTp estimates (0.04-0.24; COV: 33.3%). In conclusion, compartment modeling with correction for brain-penetrant radiometabolites improves the in vivo quantification of [11C]SMW139 binding to P2X7R in the human brain.

Abstract
PURPOSE The role of cerebral blood flow (CBF) in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease is complex and largely unknown. We investigated cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between CBF, amyloid burden, and cognition, in cognitively normal individuals with subjective cognitive decline (SCD). METHODS We included 187 cognitively normal individuals with SCD from the SCIENCe project (65 ± 8 years, 39% F, MMSE 29 ± 1). Each underwent a dynamic (0-70 min) [18F]florbetapir PET and T1-weighted MRI scan, enabling calculation of mean binding potential (BPND; specific amyloid binding) and R1 (measure of relative (r)CBF). Eighty-three individuals underwent a second [18F]florbetapir PET (2.6 ± 0.7 years). Participants annually underwent neuropsychological assessment (follow-up time 3.8 ± 3.1 years; number of observations n = 774). RESULTS A low baseline R1 was associated with steeper decline on tests addressing memory, attention, and global cognition (range betas 0.01 to 0.27, p < 0.05). High BPND was associated with steeper decline on tests covering all domains (range betas - 0.004 to - 0.70, p < 0.05). When both predictors were simultaneously added to the model, associations remained essentially unchanged. Additionally, we found longitudinal associations between R1 and BPND. High baseline BPND predicted decline over time in R1 (all regions, range betasBP×time - 0.09 to - 0.14, p < 0.05). Vice versa, low baseline R1 predicted increase in BPND in frontal, temporal, and composite ROIs over time (range betasR1×time - 0.03 to - 0.08, p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Our results suggest that amyloid accumulation and decrease in rCBF are two parallel disease processes without a fixed order, both providing unique predictive information for cognitive decline and each process enhancing the other longitudinally.

Abstract
The accelerated approval of the monoclonal antibody (mAb) aducanumab as a treatment option for Alzheimer's Disease and the continued discussions about its efficacy have shown that a better understanding of immunotherapy for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases is needed. 89Zr-immuno-PET could be a suitable tool to open new avenues for the diagnosis of CNS disorders, monitoring disease progression, and assessment of novel therapeutics. Herein, three different 89Zr-labeling strategies and direct radioiodination with 125I of a bispecific anti-amyloid-beta aducanumab derivate, consisting of aducanumab with a C-terminal fused anti-transferrin receptor binding single chain Fab fragment derived from 8D3 (Adu-8D3), were compared ex vivo and in vivo with regard to brain uptake and target engagement in an APP/PS1 Alzheimer's disease mouse model and wild type animals. Methods: Adu-8D3 and a negative control antibody, based on the HIV specific B12 antibody also carrying C-terminal fused 8D3 scFab (B12-8D3), were each conjugated with NCS-DFO, NCS-DFO*, or TFP-N-suc-DFO-Fe-ester, followed by radiolabeling with 89Zr. 125I was used as a substitute for 124I for labeling of both antibodies. 30 µg of radiolabeled mAb, corresponding to approximately 6 MBq 89Zr or 2.5 MBq 125I, were injected per mouse. PET imaging was performed 1, 3 and 7 days post injection (p.i.). All mice were sacrificed on day 7 p.i. and subjected to ex vivo biodistribution and brain autoradiography. Immunostaining on brain tissue was performed after autoradiography for further validation. Results:Ex vivo biodistribution revealed that the brain uptake of [89Zr]Zr-DFO*-NCS-Adu-8D3 (2.19 ±0.12 %ID/g) was as high as for its 125I-analog (2.21 ±0.15 %ID/g). [89Zr]Zr-DFO-NCS-Adu-8D3 and [89Zr]Zr-DFO-N-suc-Adu-8D3 showed significantly lower uptake (< 0.65 %ID/g), being in the same range as for the 89Zr-labeled controls (B12-8D3). Autoradiography of [89Zr]Zr-DFO*-NCS-Adu-8D3 and [125I]I-Adu-8D3 showed an amyloid-beta related granular uptake pattern of radioactivity. In contrast, the [89Zr]Zr-DFO-conjugates and the control antibody groups did not show any amyloid-beta related uptake pattern, indicating that DFO is inferior for 89Zr-immuno-PET imaging of the brain in comparison to DFO* for Adu-8D3. This was confirmed by day 7 PET images showing only amyloid-beta related brain uptake for [89Zr]Zr-DFO*-NCS-Adu-8D3. In wild type animals, such an uptake was not observed. Immunostaining showed a co-localization of all administered Adu-8D3 conjugates with amyloid-beta plaques. Conclusion: We successfully demonstrated that 89Zr-immuno-PET is suitable for imaging and quantifying amyloid-beta specific brain uptake using a bispecific aducanumab brain shuttling antibody, Adu-8D3, but only when using the novel chelator DFO*, and not DFO, for labeling with 89Zr.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Biomarkers for amyloid, tau, and neurodegeneration (ATN) have predictive value for clinical progression, but it is not clear how individuals move through these stages. We examined changes in ATN profiles over time, and investigated determinants of change in A status, in a sample of cognitively normal individuals presenting with subjective cognitive decline (SCD). METHODS We included 92 individuals with SCD from the SCIENCe project with [18F]florbetapir PET (A) available at two time points (65 ± 8y, 42% female, MMSE 29 ± 1, follow-up 2.5 ± 0.7y). We additionally used [18F]flortaucipir PET for T and medial temporal atrophy score on MRI for N. Thirty-nine individuals had complete biomarker data at baseline and follow-up, enabling the construction of ATN profiles at two time points. All underwent extensive neuropsychological assessments (follow-up time 4.9 ± 2.8y, median number of visits n = 4). We investigated changes in biomarker status and ATN profiles over time. We assessed which factors predisposed for a change from A- to A+ using logistic regression. We additionally used linear mixed models to assess change from A- to A+, compared to the group that remained A- at follow-up, as predictor for cognitive decline. RESULTS At baseline, 62% had normal AD biomarkers (A-T-N- n = 24), 5% had non-AD pathologic change (A-T-N+ n = 2,) and 33% fell within the Alzheimer's continuum (A+T-N- n = 9, A+T+N- n = 3, A+T+N+ n = 1). Seventeen subjects (44%) changed to another ATN profile over time. Only 6/17 followed the Alzheimer's disease sequence of A → T → N, while 11/17 followed a different order (e.g., reverted back to negative biomarker status). APOE ε4 carriership inferred an increased risk of changing from A- to A+ (OR 5.2 (95% CI 1.2-22.8)). Individuals who changed from A- to A+, showed subtly steeper decline on Stroop I (β - 0.03 (SE 0.01)) and Stroop III (- 0.03 (0.01)), compared to individuals who remained A-. CONCLUSION We observed considerable variability in the order of ATN biomarkers becoming abnormal. Individuals who became A+ at follow-up showed subtle decline on tests for attention and executive functioning, confirming clinical relevance of amyloid positivity.

Abstract
A follow-up study was performed in 12 healthy women to evaluate systemic exposure to aluminium following topical application of a representative antiperspirant formulation under real-life use conditions (part A) and to assess the local fate of topically applied aluminium by taking additional tape strips and skin biopsies (Part B). A simple roll-on formulation, containing the maximal possible radioactive dose, was prepared with [26Al] aluminium-labeled chlorohydrate (ACH). The microtracer of [26Al] was used to distinguish aluminium from the natural background, using accelerator mass spectrometry. [26Al] aluminiumcitrate was administered intravenously to estimate the dermal fraction absorbed. Despite the 25-fold increase of the topical dose compared with the previous study, only 12 blood samples gave results above the lower limit of quantitation (0.118 fg/mL). The most reliable estimates of the dermal fraction absorbed are derived from noncompartmental analysis with the urine data. By using the intravenous dose to normalize the urinary excretion to 100% bioavailability, the best estimate of the fraction absorbed of [26Al] from a topical application of [26Al]-aluminium-labeled chlorohydrate in an antiperspirant formulation was 0.00052%. Part B of the study demonstrated that the majority of the aluminium in the formulation remained associated with the external layers of the skin without penetration through the skin.

Abstract
Rationale The aim of this study was to investigate the application of [18F]DPA714 to visualize the inflammation process in the lungs of SARS-CoV-2-infected rhesus monkeys, focusing on the presence of pulmonary lesions, activation of mediastinal lymph nodes and surrounded lung tissue. Methods Four experimentally SARS-CoV-2 infected rhesus monkeys were followed for seven weeks post infection (pi) with a weekly PET-CT using [18F]DPA714. Two PET images, 10 min each, of a single field-of-view covering the chest area, were obtained 10 and 30 min after injection. To determine the infection process swabs, blood and bronchoalveolar lavages (BALs) were obtained. Results All animals were positive for SARS-CoV-2 in both the swabs and BALs on multiple timepoints pi. The initial development of pulmonary lesions was already detected at the first scan, performed 2-days pi. PET revealed an increased tracer uptake in the pulmonary lesions and mediastinal lymph nodes of all animals from the first scan obtained after infection and onwards. However, also an increased uptake was detected in the lung tissue surrounding the lesions, which persisted until day 30 and then subsided by day 37–44 pi. In parallel, a similar pattern of increased expression of activation markers was observed on dendritic cells in blood. Principal conclusions This study illustrates that [18F]DPA714 is a valuable radiotracer to visualize SARS-CoV-2-associated pulmonary inflammation, which coincided with activation of dendritic cells in blood. [18F]DPA714 thus has the potential to be of added value as diagnostic tracer for other viral respiratory infections. [18F]DPA714 PET can visualize alterations in the lungs after a SARS-CoV-2 infection. The PET signal increases in unaffected lung tissue till day 30 post infection. Dendritic cell activation in blood is increased till day 30/37 post infection

Abstract
The transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) pathway plays a complex role in cancer biology, being involved in both tumour suppression as well as promotion. Overactive TGFβ signalling has been linked to multiple diseases, including cancer, pulmonary arterial hypertension, and fibrosis. One of the key meditators within this pathway is the TGFβ type I receptor, also termed activin receptor-like kinase 5 (ALK5). ALK5 expression level is a key determinant of TGFβ signalling intensity and duration, and perturbation has been linked to diseases. A validated ALK5 positron emission tomography (PET) tracer creates an opportunity, therefore, to study its role in human diseases. To develop ALK5 PET tracers, two small molecule ALK5 kinase inhibitors were selected as lead compounds, which were labelled with carbon-11 and fluorine-18, respectively. [11C]LR111 was synthesized with a yield of 17 ± 6%, a molar activity of 126 ± 79 GBq·μmol-1 and a purity of >95% (n = 44). [18F]EW-7197 was synthesized with a yield of 10 ± 5%, a molar activity of 183 ± 126 GBq·μmol-1 and a purity of >95% (n = 11). Metabolic stability was evaluated in vivo in mice, showing 39 ± 2% of intact [11C]LR111 and 21 ± 2% of intact [18F]EW-7197 in blood plasma at 45 min p.i. In vitro binding experiments were conducted in breast cancer MDA-MB-231 and lung cancer A431 cell lines. In addition, both tracers were used for PET imaging in MDA-MB-231 xenograft models. Selective uptake of [18F]EW-7197 and [11C]LR111 was observed in MDA-MB-231 cells, in the MDA-MB-231 tumour xenografts in vivo and in the autoradiograms. As [11C]LR111 and [18F]EW-7197 showed selectivity of binding to ALK5 in vivo and in vitro. Both tracers are thereby valuable tools for the detection of ALK5 activity.

Abstract
![]()
The recent advances
in the production of engineered antibodies
have facilitated the development and application of tailored, target-specific
antibodies. Positron emission tomography (PET) of these antibody-based
drug candidates can help to better understand their in vivo behavior. In this study, we report an in vivo proof-of-concept
pretargeted immuno-PET study where we compare a pretargeting vs targeted
approach using a new 89Zr-labeled tetrazine as a bio-orthogonal
ligand in an inverse electron demand Diels–Alder (IEDDA) in vivo click reaction. A CD44v6-selective chimeric monoclonal
U36 was selected as the targeting antibody because it has potential
in immuno-PET imaging of head-and-neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).
Zirconium-89 (t1/2 = 78.41 h) was selected
as the radionuclide of choice to be able to make a head-to-head comparison
of the pretargeted and targeted approaches. [89Zr]Zr-DFO-PEG5-Tz ([89Zr]Zr-3) was synthesized and
used in pretargeted PET imaging of HNSCC xenografts (VU-SCC-OE) at
24 and 48 h after administration of a trans-cyclooctene
(TCO)-functionalized U36. The pretargeted approach resulted in lower
absolute tumor uptake than the targeted approach (1.5 ± 0.2 vs
17.1 ± 3.0% ID/g at 72 h p.i. U36) but with comparable tumor-to-non-target
tissue ratios and significantly lower absorbed doses. In conclusion,
anti-CD44v6 monoclonal antibody U36 was successfully used for 89Zr-immuno-PET imaging of HNSCC xenograft tumors using both
a targeted and pretargeted approach. The results not only support
the utility of the pretargeted approach in immuno-PET imaging but
also demonstrate the challenges in achieving optimal in vivo IEDDA reaction efficiencies in relation to antibody pharmacokinetics.

Abstract
Multiple small molecule PET tracers have been developed for the imaging of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). These tracers target the tyrosine kinase (TK) domain of the receptor and have been used for both quantifying EGFR expression and to differentiate between EGFR mutational statuses. However, the approaches for in vivo evaluation of these tracers are diverse and have resulted in data that are hard to compare. In this review, we analyze the historical development of the in vivo evaluation approaches, starting from the first EGFR TK PET tracer [11C]PD153035 to tracers developed based on TK inhibitors used for the clinical treatment of mutated EGFR expressing non-small cell lung cancer like [11C]erlotinib and [18F]afatinib. The evaluation of each tracer has been compiled to allow for a comparison between studies and ultimately between tracers. The main challenges for each group of tracers are thereafter discussed. Finally, this review addresses the challenges that need to be overcome to be able to efficiently drive EGFR PET imaging forward.

Abstract
Non-invasive imaging modalities constitute an increasingly important tool in diagnostic and therapy response monitoring of patients with autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In particular, macrophage imaging with positron emission tomography (PET) using novel radiotracers based on differential expression of plasma membrane proteins and functioning of cellular processes may be suited for this. Over the past decade, selective expression of folate receptor β (FRβ), a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored plasma membrane protein, on myeloid cells has emerged as an attractive target for macrophage imaging by exploiting the high binding affinity of folate-based PET tracers. This work discusses molecular, biochemical and functional properties of FRβ, describes the preclinical development of a folate-PET tracer and the evaluation of this tracer in a translational model of arthritis for diagnostics and therapy-response monitoring, and finally the first clinical application of the folate-PET tracer in RA patients with active disease. Consequently, folate-based PET tracers hold great promise for macrophage imaging in a variety of (chronic) inflammatory (autoimmune) diseases beyond RA.

Abstract
[11C]UCB-J is a PET radioligand that binds to the presynaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2A. Therefore, [11C]UCB-J PET may serve as an in vivo marker of synaptic integrity. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the quantitative accuracy and the 28-day test–retest repeatability (TRT) of various parametric quantitative methods for dynamic [11C]UCB-J studies in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients and healthy controls (HC). Eight HCs and seven AD patients underwent two 60-min dynamic [11C]UCB-J PET scans with arterial sampling over a 28-day interval. Several plasma-input based and reference-region based parametric methods were used to generate parametric images using metabolite corrected plasma activity as input function or white matter semi-ovale as reference region. Different parametric outcomes were compared regionally with corresponding non-linear regression (NLR) estimates. Furthermore, the 28-day TRT was assessed for all parametric methods. Spectral analysis (SA) and Logan graphical analysis showed high correlations with NLR estimates. Receptor parametric mapping (RPM) and simplified reference tissue model 2 (SRTM2) BPND, and reference Logan (RLogan) distribution volume ratio (DVR) regional estimates correlated well with plasma-input derived DVR and SRTM BPND. Among the multilinear reference tissue model (MRTM) methods, MRTM1 had the best correspondence with DVR and SRTM BPND. Among the parametric methods evaluated, spectral analysis (SA) and SRTM2 were the best plasma-input and reference tissue methods, respectively, to obtain quantitatively accurate and repeatable parametric images for dynamic [11C]UCB-J PET.

Abstract
Tau accumulation starts during the preclinical phase of Alzheimer’s disease and is closely associated with cognitive decline. For preventive purposes, it is important to identify factors associated with tau accumulation and spread. Studying genetically identical twin-pairs may give insight into genetic and environmental contributions to tau pathology, as similarities in identical twin-pairs largely result from genetic factors, while differences in identical twin-pairs can largely be attributed to non-shared, environmental factors. This study aimed to examine similarities and dissimilarities in a cohort of genetically identical older twin-pairs in (i) tau load; and (ii) spatial distribution of tau, measured with 18F-flortaucipir PET. We selected 78 genetically identical twins (39 pairs; average age 73 ± 6 years), enriched for amyloid-β pathology and APOE ε4 carriership, who underwent dynamic 18F-flortaucipir PET. We extracted binding potentials (BPND) in entorhinal, temporal, widespread neocortical and global regions, and examined within-pair similarities in BPND using age and sex corrected intra-class correlations. Furthermore, we tested whether twin-pairs showed a more similar spatial 18F-flortaucipir distribution compared to non-twin pairs, and whether the participant’s co-twin could be identified solely based on the spatial 18F-flortaucipir distribution. Last, we explored whether environmental (e.g. physical activity, obesity) factors could explain observed differences in twins of a pair in 18F-flortaucipir BPND. On visual inspection, Alzheimer’s disease-like 18F-flortaucipir PET patterns were observed, and although we mainly identified similarities in twin-pairs, some pairs showed strong dissimilarities. 18F-flortaucipir BPND was correlated in twins in the entorhinal (r = 0.40; P = 0.01), neocortical (r = 0.59; P < 0.01) and global (r = 0.56; P < 0.01) regions, but not in the temporal region (r = 0.20; P = 0.10). The 18F-flortaucipir distribution pattern was significantly more similar between twins of the same pair [mean r = 0.27; standard deviation (SD) = 0.09] than between non-twin pairings of participants (mean r = 0.01; SD = 0.10) (P < 0.01), also after correcting for proxies of off-target binding. Based on the spatial 18F-flortaucipir distribution, we could identify with an accuracy of 86% which twins belonged to the same pair. Finally, within-pair differences in 18F-flortaucipir BPND were associated with within-pair differences in depressive symptoms (0.37 < β < 0.56), physical activity (−0.41 < β < −0.42) and social activity (−0.32 < β < −0.36) (all P < 0.05). Overall, identical twin-pairs were comparable in tau load and spatial distribution, highlighting the important role of genetic factors in the accumulation and spreading of tau pathology. Considering also the presence of dissimilarities in tau pathology in identical twin-pairs, our results additionally support a role for (potentially modifiable) environmental factors in the onset of Alzheimer’s disease pathological processes, which may be of interest for future prevention strategies.

Abstract
Radioligand theranostics (RT) in oncology use cancer-type specific biomarkers and molecular imaging (MI), including positron emission tomography (PET), single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and planar scintigraphy, for patient diagnosis, therapy, and personalized management. While the definition of theranostics was initially restricted to a single compound allowing visualization and therapy simultaneously, the concept has been widened with the development of theranostic pairs and the combination of nuclear medicine with different types of cancer therapies. Here, we review the clinical applications of different theranostic radiopharmaceuticals in managing different tumor types (differentiated thyroid, neuroendocrine prostate, and breast cancer) that support the combination of innovative oncological therapies such as gene and cell-based therapies with RT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite recent advances in the multimodal treatment of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), overall survival remains poor with a 5-year cumulative survival of approximately 10%. Neoadjuvant (chemo- and/or radio-) therapy is increasingly incorporated in treatment strategies for patients with (borderline) resectable and locally advanced disease. Neoadjuvant therapy aims to improve radical resection rates by reducing tumor mass and (partial) encasement of important vascular structures, as well as eradicating occult micrometastases. Results from recent multicenter clinical trials evaluating this approach demonstrate prolonged survival and increased complete surgical resection rates (R0). Currently, tumor response to neoadjuvant therapy is monitored using computed tomography (CT) following the RECIST 1.1 criteria. Accurate assessment of neoadjuvant treatment response and tumor resectability is considered a major challenge, as current conventional imaging modalities provide limited accuracy and specificity for discrimination between necrosis, fibrosis, and remaining vital tumor tissue. As a consequence, resections with tumor-positive margins and subsequent early locoregional tumor recurrences are observed in a substantial number of patients following surgical resection with curative intent. Of these patients, up to 80% are diagnosed with recurrent disease after a median disease-free interval of merely 8 months. These numbers underline the urgent need to improve imaging modalities for more accurate assessment of therapy response and subsequent re-staging of disease, thereby aiming to optimize individual patient's treatment strategy. In cases of curative intent resection, additional intra-operative real-time guidance could aid surgeons during complex procedures and potentially reduce the rate of incomplete resections and early (locoregional) tumor recurrences. In recent years intraoperative imaging in cancer has made a shift towards tumor-specific molecular targeting. Several important molecular targets have been identified that show overexpression in PDAC, for example: CA19.9, CEA, EGFR, VEGFR/VEGF-A, uPA/uPAR, and various integrins. Tumor-targeted PET/CT combined with intraoperative fluorescence imaging, could provide valuable information for tumor detection and staging, therapy response evaluation with re-staging of disease and intraoperative guidance during surgical resection of PDAC. METHODS A literature search in the PubMed database and (inter)national trial registers was conducted, focusing on studies published over the last 15 years. Data and information of eligible articles regarding PET/CT as well as fluorescence imaging in PDAC were reviewed. Areas covered: This review covers the current strategies, obstacles, challenges, and developments in targeted tumor imaging, focusing on the feasibility and value of PET/CT and fluorescence imaging for integration in the work-up and treatment of PDAC. An overview is given of identified targets and their characteristics, as well as the available literature of conducted and ongoing clinical and preclinical trials evaluating PDAC-targeted nuclear and fluorescent tracers.

Abstract
![]()
The P2Y12 receptor (P2Y12R) is uniquely expressed
on microglia in the brain, and its expression level directly depends
on the microglial activation state. Therefore, P2Y12R provides
a promising imaging marker for distinguishing the pro- and anti-inflammatory
microglial phenotypes, both of which play crucial roles in neuroinflammatory
diseases. In this study, three P2Y12R antagonists were
selected from the literature, radiolabeled with carbon-11 or fluorine-18,
and evaluated in healthy Wistar rats. Brain imaging was performed
with and without blocking of efflux transporters P-glycoprotein and breast cancer resistance protein using tariquidar.
Low brain uptake in healthy rats was observed for all tracers at baseline
conditions, whereas blocking of efflux transporters resulted in a
strong (6–7 fold) increase in brain uptake for both of them.
Binding of the most promising tracer, [18F]3, was further evaluated by in vitro autoradiography on rat brain
sections, ex vivo metabolite studies, and in vivo P2Y12R blocking studies. In vitro binding of [18F]3 on rat brain sections indicated high P2Y12R targeting
with approximately 70% selective and specific binding. At 60 min post-injection,
over 95% of radioactivity in the brain accounted for an intact tracer.
In blood plasma, still 40% intact tracer was found, and formed metabolites
did not enter the brain. A moderate P2Y12R blocking effect
was observed in vivo by positron emission tomography (PET) imaging
with [18F]3 (p = 0.04). To
conclude, three potential P2Y12R PET tracers were obtained
and analyzed for P2Y12R targeting in the brain. Unfortunately,
the brain uptake appeared low. Future work will focus on the design
of P2Y12R inhibitors with improved physicochemical characteristics
to reduce efflux transport and increase brain penetration.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Parathyroid hyperplasia is a disease characterized by overactive parathyroid glands secreting increased levels of parathyroid hormone. Surgical removal of the parathyroid glands is the standard treatment but requires precise pre-operative localization of the glands. However, currently available imaging modalities show limited sensitivity. Since positron emission tomography (PET) is a molecular imaging technique with high accuracy and sensitivity, our aim was to develop a new PET tracer for overactive parathyroid glands imaging by radiolabelling cinacalcet, a drug binding to the calcium-sensing receptor of the parathyroid glands. METHODS [18F]Cinacalcet was synthesized by copper-catalysed [18F]trifluoromethylation of a boronic acid precursor using high molar activity [18F]fluoroform. Ex vivo biodistribution and metabolism were evaluated in 12 healthy male Wistar rats at 5, 15, 45 and 90 min. PET scans were performed at baseline and after blocking with NPS R-568. RESULTS [18F]Cinacalcet was obtained in an overall radiosynthesis time of 1 h with a radiochemical purity of 98 ± 1%, a radiochemical yield of 8 ± 4% (overall, n = 7, corrected for decay) and a molar activity of 40 ± 11 GBq/μmol (n = 7, at EOS). The ex vivo biodistribution showed uptake in the thyroid and parathyroid glands as well as in other glands such as adrenals, salivary glands and pancreas. The tracer was rapidly cleared from the blood via liver and kidneys and showed fast metabolism. PET images confirmed uptake in the target organ. However, in a blocking study with NPS R-568 specific binding of [18F]cinacalcet to the CaSR could not be confirmed. CONCLUSIONS [18F]Cinacalcet was successfully synthesized. First in vivo experiments in healthy rats showed uptake of the tracer in the target organ and fast metabolism, encouraging further in vivo evaluation of this tracer.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects millions of people worldwide. Two hallmarks of PD are the accumulation of alpha-synuclein and the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the brain. There is no cure for PD, and all existing treatments focus on alleviating the symptoms. PD diagnosis is also based on the symptoms, such as abnormalities of movement, mood, and cognition observed in the patients. Molecular imaging methods such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), and positron emission tomography (PET) can detect objective alterations in the neurochemical machinery of the brain and help diagnose and study neurodegenerative diseases. This review addresses the application of functional MRI, PET, and SPECT in PD patients. We provide an overview of the imaging targets, discuss the rationale behind target selection, the agents (tracers) with which the imaging can be performed, and the main findings regarding each target's state in PD. Molecular imaging has proven itself effective in supporting clinical diagnosis of PD and has helped reveal that PD is a heterogeneous disorder, which has important implications for the development of future therapies. However, the application of molecular imaging for early diagnosis of PD or for differentiation between PD and atypical parkinsonisms has remained challenging. The final section of the review is dedicated to new imaging targets with which one can detect the PD-related pathological changes upstream from dopaminergic degeneration. The foremost of those targets is alpha-synuclein. We discuss the progress of tracer development achieved so far and challenges on the path toward alpha-synuclein imaging in humans.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the [18F]flortaucipir binding distribution across MAPT mutations in presymptomatic and symptomatic carriers. METHODS We compared regional [18F]flortaucipir binding potential (BPND) derived from a 130-minute dynamic [18F]flortaucipir PET scan in 9 (pre)symptomatic MAPT mutation carriers (4 with P301L [1 symptomatic], 2 with R406W [1 symptomatic], 1 presymptomatic L315R, 1 presymptomatic S320F, and 1 symptomatic G272V carrier) with 30 cognitively normal controls and 52 patients with Alzheimer disease. RESULTS [18F]Flortaucipir BPND images showed overall highest binding in the symptomatic carriers. This was most pronounced in the symptomatic R406W carrier in whom tau binding exceeded the normal control range in the anterior cingulate cortex, insula, amygdala, temporal, parietal, and frontal lobe. Elevated medial temporal lobe BPND was observed in a presymptomatic R406W carrier. The single symptomatic carrier and 1 of the 3 presymptomatic P301L carriers showed elevated [18F]flortaucipir BPND in the insula, parietal, and frontal lobe compared to controls. The symptomatic G272V carrier exhibited a widespread elevated cortical BPND, with at neuropathologic examination a combination of 3R pathology and encephalitis. The L315R presymptomatic mutation carrier showed higher frontal BPND compared to controls. The BPND values of the S320F presymptomatic mutation carrier fell within the range of controls. CONCLUSION Presymptomatic MAPT mutation carriers already showed subtle elevated tau binding, whereas symptomatic MAPT mutation carriers showed a more marked increase in [18F]flortaucipir BPND. Tau deposition was most pronounced in R406W MAPT (pre)symptomatic mutation carriers, which is associated with both 3R and 4R tau accumulation. Thus, [18F]flortaucipir may serve as an early biomarker for MAPT mutation carriers in mutations that cause 3R/4R tauopathies.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are widely used in nuclear imaging. Radiolabelling with positron emitting radionuclides, typically radiometals, requires the incorporation of a bifunctional chelator for the formation of the radiometal-mAb complex. Additionally, mAbs can be conjugated with small molecules capable to undergo bioorthogonal click reactions in vivo, enabling pre-targeting strategies. The determination of the number of functionalities attached to the mAb is critically important to ensure a good labelling yield or to guarantee pre-targeting efficacy. In this work, we compare three different analytical methods for the assessment of average functionalisation and heterogeneity of the conjugated mAbs. METHODS Two selected mAbs (Trastuzumab and Bevacizumab) were randomly conjugated through lysine residues with 3-10 equivalents p-isothiocyanatobenzyl-desferrioxamine (p-NCS-Bz-DFO) or 20-200 equivalents trans-cyclooctene-N-hydroxysuccinimide ester (TCO-NHS). The DFO- or TCO-to-mAb ratio were determined using three different methods: direct titration (radiometric for DFO-conjugated mAbs, photometric for TCO-conjugated mAbs), MALDI/TOF MS mass analysis (Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption-Ionization/Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry), and UPLC/ESI-TOF MS mass analysis (Ultra High Performance Liquid Chromatography/Electrospray Ionization-Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry). RESULTS Radiometric and photometric titrations provided information on the average number of DFO and TCO functionalities per mAb respectively. MALDI/TOF MS provided equivalent results to those obtained by titration, although investigation of the heterogeneity of the resulting mixture was challenging and inaccurate. UPLC/ESI-TOF MS resulted in good peak resolution in the case of DFO-conjugated mAbs, where an accurate discrimination of the contribution of mono-, di- and tri-substituted mAbs could be achieved by mathematical fitting of the spectra. However, UPLC/ESI-TOF MS was unable to discriminate between different conjugates when the smaller TCO moiety was attached to the mAbs. CONCLUSIONS The three techniques offered comparable results in terms of determining the average number of conjugates per mAb. Additionally, UPLC/ESI-TOF MS was able to shed a light on the heterogeneity of the resulting functionalised mAbs, especially in the case of DFO-conjugated mAbs. Finally, while using a single analytical method might not be a reliable way to determine the average functionalisation and assess the heterogeneity of the sample, a combination of these methods could substantially improve the characterization of mAb conjugates.

Abstract
The trifluoromethyl group is a prominent motif in biologically active compounds and therefore of great interest for the labeling with the positron emitter fluorine‐18 for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. Multiple labeling strategies have been explored in the past; however, most of them suffer from low molar activity due to precursor degradation. In this study, the potential of 1‐(difluoromethyl)‐3‐methyl‐4‐phenyl‐1H‐1,2,3‐triazol‐3‐ium triflate as precursor for the synthesis of the [18F]trifluoromethylation building block [18F]fluoroform with high molar activity was investigated. The triazolium precursor was reacted under various conditions with [18F]fluoride, providing [18F]fluoroform with radiochemical yields (RCY) and molar activities (Am) comparable and even superior with already existing methods. Highest molar activities (Am = 153 ± 14 GBq/μmol, dc, EOS) were observed for the automated procedure on the Neptis® perform module. Due to its easy handling and good RCY and Am in the [18F]fluoroform synthesis, the triazolium precursor is a valuable alternative to already known precursors.

Abstract
There is increasing evidence showing the heterogeneity of microglia activation in neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases. It has been hypothesized that pro‐inflammatory microglia are detrimental and contribute to disease progression, while anti‐inflammatory microglia play a role in damage repair and remission. The development of therapeutics targeting the deleterious glial activity and modulating it into a regenerative phenotype relies heavily upon a clearer understanding of the microglia dynamics during disease progression and the ability to monitor therapeutic outcome in vivo. To that end, molecular imaging techniques are required to assess microglia dynamics and study their role in disease progression as well as to evaluate the outcome of therapeutic interventions. Positron emission tomography (PET) is such a molecular imaging technique, and provides unique capabilities for non‐invasive quantification of neuroinflammation and has the potential to discriminate between microglia phenotypes and define their role in the disease process. However, several obstacles limit the possibility for selective in vivo imaging of microglia phenotypes mainly related to the poor characterization of specific targets that distinguish the two ends of the microglia activation spectrum and lack of suitable tracers. PET tracers targeting translocator protein 18 kDa (TSPO) have been extensively explored, but despite the success in evaluating neuroinflammation they failed to discriminate between microglia activation statuses. In this review, we highlight the current knowledge on the microglia phenotypes in the major neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases. We also discuss the current and emerging PET imaging targets, the tracers and their potential in discriminating between the pro‐ and anti‐inflammatory microglia activation states.

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
[11C]UCB-J is a novel radioligand that binds to synaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2A (SV2A). The main objective of this study was to determine the 28-day test-retest repeatability (TRT) of quantitative [11C]UCB-J brain positron emission tomography (PET) imaging in Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients and healthy controls (HCs). Nine HCs and eight AD patients underwent two 60 min dynamic [11C]UCB-J PET scans with arterial sampling with an interval of 28 days. The optimal tracer kinetic model was assessed using the Akaike criteria (AIC). Micro-/macro-parameters such as tracer delivery (K1) and volume of distribution (VT) were estimated using the optimal model. Data were also analysed for simplified reference tissue model (SRTM) with centrum semi-ovale (white matter) as reference region. Based on AIC, both 1T2k_VB and 2T4k_VB described the [11C]UCB-J kinetics equally well. Analysis showed that whole-brain grey matter TRT for VT, DVR and SRTM BPND were -2.2% ± 8.5, 0.4% ± 12.0 and -8.0% ± 10.2, averaged over all subjects. [11C]UCB-J kinetics can be well described by a 1T2k_VB model, and a 60 min scan duration was sufficient to obtain reliable estimates for both plasma input and reference tissue models. TRT for VT, DVR and BPND was <15% (1SD) averaged over all subjects and indicates adequate quantitative repeatability of [11C]UCB-J PET.

Abstract
Accumulation of amyloid beta (Aβ) is one of the pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD), which can be visualized using [18F]florbetapir positron emission tomography (PET). The aim of this study was to evaluate various parametric methods and to assess their test-retest (TRT) reliability. Two 90 min dynamic [18F]florbetapir PET scans, including arterial sampling, were acquired (n = 8 AD patient, n = 8 controls). The following parametric methods were used; (reference:cerebellum); Logan and spectral analysis (SA), receptor parametric mapping (RPM), simplified reference tissue model2 (SRTM2), reference Logan (rLogan) and standardized uptake value ratios (SUVr(50-70)). BPND+1, DVR, VT and SUVr were compared with corresponding estimates (VT or DVR) from the plasma input reversible two tissue compartmental (2T4k_VB) model with corresponding TRT values for 90-scan duration. RPM (r2 = 0.92; slope = 0.91), Logan (r2 = 0.95; slope = 0.84) and rLogan (r2 = 0.94; slope = 0.88), and SRTM2 (r2 = 0.91; slope = 0.83), SA (r2 = 0.91; slope = 0.88), SUVr (r2 = 0.84; slope = 1.16) correlated well with their 2T4k_VB counterparts. RPM (controls: 1%, AD: 3%), rLogan (controls: 1%, AD: 3%) and SUVr(50-70) (controls: 3%, AD: 8%) showed an excellent TRT reliability. In conclusion, most parametric methods showed excellent performance for [18F]florbetapir, but RPM and rLogan seem the methods of choice, combining the highest accuracy and best TRT reliability.
