MRI had the significantly highest sensitivity compared with CT and PET/CT, particularly for CRLM < 10 mm. Therefore, detection of CRLM should be based on MRI.
177 Lu-lilotomab satetraxetan is a novel antibody radionuclide conjugate currently tested in a phase 1/2a first-in-human dosage escalation trial for patients with relapsed CD371 indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The aim of this work was to develop dosimetric methods and calculate tumor-absorbed radiation doses for patients treated with 177 Lu-lilotomab satetraxetan. Methods: Patients were treated at escalating injected activities (10, 15 and 20 MBq/kg) of 177 Lulilotomab satetraxetan and with different predosing, with or without 40 mg of unlabeled lilotomab. Eight patients were included for the tumor dosimetry study. Tumor radioactivity concentrations were calculated from SPECT acquisitions at multiple time points, and tumor masses were delineated from corresponding CT scans. Tumor-absorbed doses were then calculated using the OLINDA sphere model. To perform voxel dosimetry, the SPECT/CT data and an inhouse-developed MATLAB program were combined to investigate the dose rate homogeneity. Results: Twenty-six tumors in 8 patients were ascribed a mean tumor-absorbed dose. Absorbed doses ranged from 75 to 794 cGy, with a median of 264 cGy across different dosage levels and different predosing. A significant correlation between the dosage level and tumor-absorbed dose was found. Twenty-one tumors were included for voxel dosimetry and parameters describing dose-volume coverage calculated. The investigation of intratumor voxel doses indicates that mean tumor dose is correlated to these parameters. Conclusion: Tumor-absorbed doses for patients treated with 177 Lu-lilotomab satetraxetan are comparable to doses reported for other radioimmunotherapy compounds. Although the intertumor variability was considerable, a correlation between tumor dose and patient dosage level was found. Our results indicate that mean dose may be used as the sole dosimetric parameter on the lesion level.
S, Malt UF. Patterns of altered regional brain glucose metabolism in borderline personality disorder and bipolar II disorder.Objective: The relationship between borderline personality disorder (BPD) and bipolar II disorder (BIP-II) is disputed but understudied. Here, we investigated brain glucose metabolism in these patient groups and healthy control subjects (HCs). Methods: Sixty-five subjects, 22 BPD (19 females), 22 BIP-II (17 females), and 21 HC (14 females), were examined using 2-deoxy-2[18F]-fluoro-dglucose positron-emission tomography (PET) scanning. Only patients without reciprocal comorbidity were recruited; BPD participants without bipolar spectrum pathology; BIP-II participants without cluster A/B personality pathology. Groups were compared pairwise. Associations with mood state and childhood trauma were analyzed. Results: Both patient groups exhibited hypometabolism compared with HCs in insula, brainstem, and frontal white matter. Additionally, BPD patients showed hypometabolism in hypothalamus, midbrain, and striatum; BIP-II patients in cerebellum. Uncorrected analyses showed cortical areas of higher metabolism in BIP-II than BPD, and associations with clinical variables differed between the groups. Conclusion: Reduced metabolism in the insula regions was shown in both disorders, suggesting shared pathophysiological mechanisms. The observed patterns of altered metabolism specific to each patient group, as well as the uncorrected results, may also suggest differential pathophysiology. However, these latter findings must be interpreted cautiously given the non-significant corrected results in the direct comparison between the disorders. Significant outcomes• This is the first FDG-PET study comparing patients with borderline personality disorder and patients with bipolar II disorder.• Several regions of decreased metabolism, including insula and frontotemporal white matter, were common for both disorders.• Reduced metabolism in the hypothalamus was shown in borderline patients only. This finding could potentially be linked to several previously suggested endocrinological disturbances in this disorder, involving HPA-axis, oxytocin, and testosterone.• Uncorrected analyses showed differences between the disorders regarding correlation with clinical variables. Limitations• Most participants were on psychotropic medication. • The number of participants was limited, although comparable with previous PET studies of these patient groups.
Lu-lilotomab satetraxetan is a novel antibody-radionuclide conjugate currently in a phase 1/2a first-in-humans dose escalation trial for patients with relapsed CD37-positive indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The aim of this study was to investigate biodistribution and absorbed doses to organs at risk. In total, 7 patients treated withLu-lilotomab satetraxetan were included for dosimetry. Patients were grouped on the basis of 2 different predosing regimens (with and without predosing with 40 mg of lilotomab) and were treated with different levels of activity per body weight (10, 15, and 20 MBq/kg). All patients were pretreated with rituximab. Serial planar and SPECT/CT images were used to determine time-activity curves and patient-specific masses for organs with Lu-lilotomab satetraxetan uptake. Doses were calculated with OLINDA/EXM. The organs (other than red bone marrow and tumors) with distinct uptake of Lu-lilotomab satetraxetan were the liver, spleen, and kidneys. The highest uptake was found in the spleen, with doses ranging from 1.54 to 3.60 mGy/MBq. The liver received 0.70-1.15 mGy/MBq. The kidneys received the lowest dose of the source organs investigated, 0.16-0.79 mGy/MBq. No statistically significant differences in soft-tissue absorbed doses were found between the two predosing regimens. The whole-body dose ranged from 0.08 to 0.17 mGy/MBq. The biodistribution study for patients treated with Lu-lilotomab satetraxetan revealed the highest physiologic uptake to be in the liver and spleen (besides the red marrow). For all treatment levels investigated, the absorbed doses were found to be modest when compared with commonly assumed tolerance limits.
