Radionuclide Therapy

• Benefits

• Higher radiation dose deposited directly to target tissue

(10-100x greater than external beam)

• Decreased toxicity to adjacent tissue – short pathway

• Selective targeting possible – e.g. anti-CD20,

somatostatin receptor (SSTR), PSMA receptor

• Dosimetry possible

• Can combine with chemotherapy, external beam

radiotherapy and potentially other radionuclides

• Various isotopes, energy and method of administration

Why the explosion?

35

• Prostate cancer• Approx. 20 000 cases diagnosed annually in

Australia

• Most common cancer diagnosis in Australia (more than breast, lung and melanoma)

• 1/3 will show biochemical relapse (PSA) within 10 years

• More men die per year from prostate cancer (>3000) in Australia than women die from breast cancer

• No major advance in therapeutic options in last 15yrs• Surgery/brachytherapy/radiotherapy

• ADT/pelvic irradiation

• 2nd line ADT/Docetaxel/2nd line chemo (cabazitaxel)

• Radium (palliation)

• Overall survival benefit of 2nd line therapies modest at best

Prostate cancer imaging with PSMA-ligands

• PSMA: prostate-specific membrane antigen

• cell surface protein with overexpression in prostate cancer

• transmembraneous localization including large extracellular part

• promising target for prostate cancer specific imaging and therapy

• recently: development of various PSMA-ligands for PET imaging

• e.g. 68Ga-PSMA: Glu-NH-CO-NH-Lys-(Ahx)-[68Ga(HBED-CC)] (only for 68Ga) andPSMA I&T (TUM/Scintomics), suitable for M3+ labeling (68,67Ga, 177Lu, 90Y, 111In…)

Ga-68 PSMA PET CT

• Rising PSA following definitive therapy for prostate

cancer and negative CT +/- bone scan:

• Data similar to European counterparts with

• Very high sensitivity if PSA >1.5 (~90%)

• Decreased sensitivity if PSA <0.5 (~25%) and minimal value if PSA

<0.2

• 1/5th had recurrence in prostate bed; mostly pelvic or abdominal

nodes

• Often nodal disease just out of field of treatment from pelvic

radiotherapy

• Smallest node detected (literature): 2.4mm

Ga-68 PSMA PET CT in Primary Staging

• Conclusions:

• 68Ga-PSMA PET CT appears to have the potential for improving staging of

primary prostate cancer.

• In high risk patients (Gleason 9+ and PSA>10) PSMA avid disease was found

distant to the prostate in 64% of this group. This may have significant impact in

patient management.

Systemic radioligand therapy with 177Lu-PSMA-I&T in

patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

H. Wester & M. Schwaiger Munich March 2016

Material and Methods

22 mCRPC patients treatment failure with both chemotherapy and novel androgen-

receptor targeted therapy treated 8-weekly with up to 4 cycles of 177Lu-PSMA-I&T.

Results

First 3 patients treated with a lower activity of 3.7 GBq in their first cycle. Due to a

favourable safety profile the activity was increased to 7.4 GBq in 19 subsequent patients

who completed a total of 40 cycles.

With higher activity no grade 3/4 toxicities were observed. Main non-hematologic and

hematologic grade 1/2 toxicities were dry mouth in 7 (37%), anemia in 6 (32%) and

thrombopenia in 5 (25%) patients.

Proportion of patients achieving a maximum PSA-decline of ≥ 30%, ≥ 50% and ≥ 90% was

56%, 33% and 11%, respectively. Combined assessment of bone and soft-tissue

metastases showed a complete remission in 5%, stable disease in 63% and

progressive disease in 32% of patients.

ECOG performance status improved or was stable in 74% of patients. Of men with bone

pain, 58% achieved complete resolution or reduced pain.

Conclusion

Radioligand therapy with 177Lu-PSMA-I&T appears to be safe and active in heavily

pretreated mCRPC patients.

Lu-177 PSMA in Treatment

58

• 177Lu-PSMA has been used safely in advanced metastatic prostate cancer

patients (>3000 worldwide – mostly Germany) with promising results.

• Theranostics Australia – Hollywood Private Hospital and Macquarie

University Hospital Sydney - ~150 patients treated. Currently treat 10

patients a week. Compassionate basis under TGA SAS.

• Number of studies now published: largest >500 patients in castrate

resistant metastatic prostate cancer who have failed ALL treatment options.

After 3-4 cycles Lu-177 PSMA:

• 40% show >50% reduction in PSA

• 30% show 0-50% reduction in PSA

• 30% show progression despite treatment

• Progression free survival of 6-21 months

• Overall survival benefit of 6-14 months

Lu-177 PSMA Side Effects

59

• 10-15% nausea (day after therapy for up to 3-4 days)

• 10-15% bone flare – especially if widespread bone

disease – treat with 7-10 days steroids

• Transient mouth dryness – lasts 1-2 weeks but 8-10%

permanent if >4 cycles of therapy

• Tiredness – from few days to few weeks

• Bone marrow suppression – dependent on previous

treatments and extent of bone marrow involvement

Lu-177 PSMA in Treatment

72

• 177Lu-PSMA in small series appears well tolerated with minimal short term side-

effects

• 177Lu-PSMA can be provided safely in an outpatient private hospital setting with

improvements in most patients on PSA and molecular imaging criteria.

• More clinical trials required to determine clinical utility

Summary• Long history of theranostics in nuclear medicine (I-131)

• Molecular targets coupled with standardised and simplified

production of diagnostic and therapeutic

radiopharmaceuticals is expanding potential imaging and

therapeutic options

• Ga-68 octreotate/Lutate for NET is now an established

theranostic paradigm

• Ga-68 PSMA becoming standard imaging test for prostate

cancer & Lu-177/Act-225 PSMA promising new targeted

treatments

• Gallium-68/Lutetium-177 combination offers great promise

for theranostic approaches to a number of cancers

• Theranostics Australia with Genesis Care starts at

Waratah Private Hospital in March 2018
