PurposeAfter peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT), renal toxicity may occur, particular in PRRT with 90Y-labelled somatostatin analogues. Risk factors have been identified for increased probability of developing renal toxicity after PRRT, including hypertension, diabetes and age. We investigated the renal function over time, the incidence o...

Purpose: In peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT), the bone marrow (BM) is one of the dose-limiting organs. The accepted dose limit for BM is 2 Gy, adopted from (131)I treatment. We investigated the incidence and duration of haematological toxicity and its risk factors in patients treated with PRRT with (177)Lu-DOTA(0)-Tyr(3)-octreotate ((1...

Cholecystokinin 2 (CCK-2) receptor overexpression has been demonstrated in a high percentage of medullary thyroid carcinomas (MTC). Analogous to somatostatin receptors, CCK-2 receptors might be viable targets for radionuclide scintigraphy and/or radionuclide therapy. Several CCK-2 receptor-binding radiopeptides have been developed, and some have be...

Purpose Adequate dosimetry is mandatory for effective and safe peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT). Besides the kidneys, the bone marrow is a potentially dose-limiting organ. The radiation dose to the bone marrow is usually calculated according to the MIRD scheme, where the accumulated activity in the bone marrow is calculated from the ac...

Despite the fact that most gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEPNETs) are slow-growing, median overall survival (OS) in patients with liver metastases is 2 to 4 years. In metastatic disease, cytoreductive therapeutic options are limited. A relatively new therapy is peptide receptor radionuclide therapy with the radiolabeled somatostatin...

Renal irradiation is a dose-limiting factor in peptide receptor radionuclide therapy using radiolabelled somatostatin analogues. This irradiation is mainly caused by reabsorption of radiolabelled peptides in the proximal tubule. In the human kidney, somatostatin receptors are expressed in the vasa recta, tubuli and glomeruli. It is not clear to wha...

Patients with somatostatin receptor subtype 2-positive metastasised neuroendocrine tumours can be treated with [(177)Lu-DOTA(0),Tyr(3)]octreotate. Some use octreotide as the peptide for peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT). We compared in seven patients [(177)Lu-DOTA(0),Tyr(3)]octreotide ((177)Lu-DOTATOC) and [(177)Lu-DOTA(0),Tyr(3)]octreot...

Therapy using the radiolabeled somatostatin analog [177Lu-DOTA0,Tyr3]octreotate (177Lu-octreotate) (DOTA is 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-N,N',N'',N'''-tetraacetic acid) has been used primarily in gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. Here we present the effects of this therapy in a small number of patients with metastasized or inoperable...
Article
There are few treatment options for patients with metastasized or inoperable endocrine gastroenteropancreatic (GEP) tumors. Chemotherapy can be effective, but the response is usually less than 1 year. Here, we present the results of treatment with a radiolabeled somatostatin analog, [177Lu-DOTA0,Tyr3]octreotate (177Lu-octreotate). One hundred thirt...
Article
The kidneys are critical organs in peptide receptor radiation therapy (PRRT). Renal function loss may become apparent many years after PRRT. We analyzed the time course of decline in creatinine clearance (CLR) in patients during a follow-up of at least 18 mo after the start of PRRT with (90)Y-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-N,N',N'',N'''-tetraacetic...
Article
In patients with progressive metastatic (or recurrent) differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) who do not respond to radioiodine therapy or do not show uptake on radioiodine scintigraphy, treatment options are few. Because these tumors may express somatostatin receptors, peptide receptor radionuclide therapy might be effective. We evaluated the ther...

Medical treatment and chemotherapy are seldom successful in achieving objective tumour reduction in patients with metastatic neuroendocrine tumours. Treatment with the radiolabelled somatostatin analogue [(90)Y-DOTA(0),Tyr(3)]octreotide may result in partial remissions in 10-25% of patients. The newer analogue [DOTA(0),Tyr(3)]octreotate (octreotate...
Article
As scintigraphy with [(111)In-DTPA(0)]octreotide has become a standard technique in analysing somatostatin receptor-receptor positive lesions such as neuroendocrine tumours, a logical next step is peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT). Initial studies on PRRT were performed with high doses of [(111)In-DTPA(0)]octreotide, and recently other r...

Fifty patients with somatostatin receptor-positive tumors were treated with multiple doses of [(111)In-diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid(0)]octreotide. Forty patients were evaluable after cumulative doses of at least 20 GBq up to 160 GBq. Therapeutic effects were seen in 21 patients: partial remission in 1 patient, minor remissions in 6 patients,...

We present the pharmacokinetical aspects of somatostatin receptor scintigraphy in rats with the radioiodinated [Tyr3]octreotide and 111In-labeled [DTPA-D-Phe1]octreotide. The residence time of both radionuclides in somatostatin receptor-positive tissues and tumors is completely different, indicating the difference in metabolism of the two radiophar...

Peptide receptor scintigraphy is more sensitive at the biological than anatomical level, in contrast to conventional imaging, which it complements.

Scintigraphy with 123I-Tyr-3-octreotide has several major drawbacks as regards its metabolic behavior, its cumbersome preparation and the short physical half-life of the radionuclide. The use of another radiolabeled analog of somatostatin, 111In-DTPA-D-Phe-1-octreotide, has consequently been proposed. DTPA-D-Phe-1-octreotide can be radiolabeled wit...

... For the dosimetric calculations in our study, the data were corrected only for the longer half-life of 177 Lu. On the basis of studies that directly compared the biodistribution characteristics of peptides functionalized with different chelators and labeled with various isotopes, we know that both the chelator (32)(33)(34) and the radiolabel (34,35) can influence the receptor affinity and biodistribution features of the tracer, as may explain the differences between the findings reported in the two studies. However, since our preclinical studies demonstrate that the use of chelators such as DTPA and DOTA, a potential chelator for 177 Lu (36), does not affect the biodistribution of exendin, we assumed similar biodistribution characteristics between DOTA-and DTPA-exendin tracers in humans. ...

Conversely, liquid plugs can be used for therapeutic purpose [128,69]: boluses of surfactant are injected inside the lungs of prematurely born infants to compensate for their lack and improve ventilation [67,129].

In one study, infusion of mixed amino acids (120 g containing 26.4 g L-lysine ϩ L-argi-nine, i.e., 2 L Hartmann-HEPA 8%) over 4 h starting 30 min before radiotracer injection reduced the kidney uptake at all time points (22). ...

A slow persistent decline in the creatinine clearance of a median of 3.8% per year has been reported with 177 Lu-dotatate PRRT though up to 5% of patients have an accelerated decline of >15% per year [13]. Further studies are needed to understand the mechanism underlying this toxicity. ...

... In the course of this work, we understood synthesis and biological evaluation of a novel 99m Tc-based somatostatin analog 3 with potential use in the visualization of SSTRpositive tumors. Though several somatostatin analogs labeled with a wide spectrum of radionuclides have already been reported (Lewis et al. 1999; Bakker et al. 1991) and an established radiopharmaceutical [ 111 In] OctreoScan is available (Krenning et al. 1992; de Jong et al. 1998), the search for a 99m Tc-somatostatin radiotracer has intensified (Bangard et al. 2000; Thakur et al. 1997; Weiner and Thakur 2002) due to the superior nuclear properties of 99m Tc and its cost effectiveness (Liu et al. 1997; Liu and Edwards 1999). Previous efforts to develop such an agent have mainly utilized octreotide/[Tyr 3 ] octreotide as the SSTR recognition site. ...
