    • Simple Summary The receptor HER2 is overexpressed in some breast cancers. Tumours with a high HER2 expression can be successfully treated with the antibodies trastuzumab and pertuzumab. The radionuclide imaging of HER2 in disseminated cancer could help to select patients for treatment using these antibodies. Novel radiolabelled small-sized tracers, scaffold proteins, have shown excellent imaging properties in preclinical studies. The scaffold proteins [Tc-99m]Tc-ADAPT6 and DARPin [Tc-99m]Tc-(HE)(3)-G3 have been found to be safe in Phase I clinical trials. They showed promising results in the imaging of HER2. In this study, we compared the distribution of both tracers in the same patients with breast cancer to evaluate whether one of them has any decisive advantage. We found that both tracers provide an excellent visualization of tumours, but the accumulation of [Tc-99m]Tc-ADAPT6 in tumours is higher. The data from this study are essential for researchers developing imaging agents. Previous Phase I clinical evaluations of the radiolabelled scaffold proteins [Tc-99m]Tc-ADAPT6 and DARPin [Tc-99m]Tc-(HE)(3)-G3 in breast cancer patients have demonstrated their safety and indicated their capability to discriminate between HER2-positive and HER2-negative tumours. The objective of this study was to compare the imaging of HER2-positive tumours in the same patients using [Tc-99m]Tc-ADAPT6 and [Tc-99m]Tc-(HE)(3)-G3. Eleven treatment-naive female patients (26-65 years) with HER2-positive primary and metastatic breast cancer were included in the study. Each patient was intravenously injected with [Tc-99m]Tc-ADAPT6, followed by an [Tc-99m]Tc-(HE)(3)-G3 injection 3-4 days later and chest SPECT/CT was performed. All primary tumours were clearly visualized using both tracers. The uptake of [Tc-99m]Tc-ADAPT6 in primary tumours (SUVmax = 4.7 & PLUSMN; 2.1) was significantly higher (p < 0.005) than the uptake of [Tc-99m]Tc-(HE)(3)-G3 (SUVmax = 3.5 & PLUSMN; 1.7). There was no significant difference in primary tumour-to-contralateral site values for [Tc-99m]Tc-ADAPT6 (15.2 & PLUSMN; 7.4) and [Tc-99m]Tc-(HE)(3)-G3 (19.6 & PLUSMN; 12.4). All known lymph node metastases were visualized using both tracers. The uptake of [Tc-99m]Tc-ADAPT6 in all extrahepatic soft tissue lesions was significantly (p < 0.0004) higher than the uptake of [Tc-99m]Tc-(HE)(3)-G3. In conclusion, [Tc-99m]Tc-ADAPT6 and [Tc-99m]Tc-(HE)(3)-G3 are suitable for the visualization of HER2-positive breast cancer. At the selected time points, [Tc-99m]Tc-ADAPT6 has a significantly higher uptake in soft tissue lesions, which might be an advantage for the visualization of small metastases.

  • Phase I Trial of 99mTc-(HE)3-G3, a DARPin-Based Probe for Imaging of HER2 Expression in Breast Cancer
  • 2022
  • Ingår i: Journal of Nuclear Medicine. - : Society of Nuclear Medicine. - 0161-5505 .- 1535-5667 .- 2159-662X. ; 63:4, s. 528-535

    • Radionuclide molecular imaging of human epidermal growth factor receptor type 2 (HER2) expression may enable a noninvasive discrimination between HER2-positive and HER2-negative breast cancers for stratification of patients for HER2-targeted treatments. DARPin (designed ankyrin repeat proteins) G3 is a small (molecular weight, 14 kDa) scaffold protein with picomolar affinity to HER2. The aim of this first-in-humans study was to evaluate the safety, biodistribution, and dosimetry of 99mTc-(HE)3-G3.Methods: Three cohorts of patients with primary breast cancer (each including at least 4 patients with HER2-negative and 5 patients with HER2-positive tumors) were injected with 1,000, 2,000, or 3,000 μg of 99mTc-(HE)3-G3 (287 ± 170 MBq). Whole-body planar imaging followed by SPECT was performed at 2, 4, 6, and 24 h after injection. Vital signs and possible side effects were monitored during imaging and up to 7 d after injection.Results: All injections were well tolerated. No side effects were observed. The results of blood and urine analyses did not differ before and after studies. 99mTc-(HE)3-G3 cleared rapidly from the blood. The highest uptake was detected in the kidneys and liver followed by the lungs, breasts, and small intestinal content. The hepatic uptake after injection of 2,000 or 3,000 μg was significantly (P < 0.05) lower than the uptake after injection of 1,000 μg. Effective doses did not differ significantly between cohorts (average, 0.011 ± 0.004 mSv/MBq). Tumor–to–contralateral site ratios for HER-positive tumors were significantly (P < 0.05) higher than for HER2-negative at 2 and 4 h after injection.Conclusion: Imaging of HER2 expression using 99mTc-(HE)3-G3 is safe and well tolerated and provides a low absorbed dose burden on patients. This imaging enables discernment of HER2-positive and HER2-negative breast cancer. Phase I study data justify further clinical development of 99mTc-(HE)3-G3.

    • Radionuclide molecular imaging of HER2 expression in disseminated cancer enables stratification of patients for HER2-targeted therapies. DARP in G3, a small (14 kDa) engineered scaffold protein, is a promising probe for imaging of HER2. We hypothesized that position (C- or N-terminus) and composition (hexahistidine or (HE)(3)) of histidine-containing tags would influence the biodistribution of [Tc-99m]Tc(CO)(3)-labeled DARP in G3. To test the hypothesis, G3 variants containing tags at N-terminus (H-6-G3 and (HE)(3)-G3) or at C-terminus (G3-H-6 and G3-(HE)(3)) were labeled with [Tc-99m]Tc(CO)(3). Labeling yield, label stability, specificity and affinity of the binding to HER2, biodistribution and tumor targeting properties of these variants were compared side-by-side. There was no substantial influence of position and composition of the tags on binding of [Tc-99m]Tc(CO)(3)-labeled variants to HER2. The specificity of HER2 targeting in vivo was confirmed. The tumor uptake in BALB/c nu/nu mice bearing SKOV3 xenografts was similar for all variants. On the opposite, there was a strong influence of the tags on uptake in normal tissues. The tumor-to-liver ratio for [Tc-99m]Tc(CO)(3)-(HE)(3)-G3 was three-fold higher compared to the hexahistidine-tag containing variants. Overall, [Tc-99m]Tc(CO)(3)-(HE)(3)-G3 variant provided the highest tumor-to-lung, tumor-to-liver, tumor-to-bone and tumor-to-muscle ratios, which should improve sensitivity of HER2 imaging in these common metastatic sites.

    • Radionuclide-based imaging of molecular therapeutic targets might facilitate stratifying patients for specific biotherapeutics. New type of imaging probes, based on designed ankyrin repeat proteins (DARPins), have demonstrated excellent contrast of imaging of human epidermal growth factor type 2 (HER2) expression in preclinical models. We hypothesized that labeling approaches, which result in lipophilic radiometabolites (non-residualizing labels), would provide the best imaging contrast for DARPins that internalize slowly after binding to cancer cells. The hypothesis was tested using DARPin Ec1 that binds to epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM). EpCAM is a promising therapeutic target. Ec1 was labeled with I-125 using two methods to obtain the non-residualizing labels, while residualizing labels were obtained by labeling it with Tc-99m. All labeled Ec1 variants preserved target specificity and picomolar binding affinity to EpCAM-expressing pancreatic adenocarcinoma BxPC-3 cells. In murine models, all the variants provided similar tumor uptake. However, I-125-PIB-H-6-Ec1 had noticeably lower retention in normal tissues, which provided appreciably higher tumor-to-organ ratios. Furthermore, I-125-PIB-H-6-Ec1 demonstrated the highest imaging contrast in preclinical models than any other EpCAM-imaging agent tested so far. In conclusion, DARPin Ec1 in combination with a non-residualizing label is a promising probe for imaging EpCAM expression a few hours after injection.

  • Influence of the Position and Composition of Radiometals and Radioiodine Labels on Imaging of Epcam Expression in Prostate Cancer Model Using the DARPin Ec1

    • Simple Summary Metastasis-targeting therapy might improve outcomes in oligometastatic prostate cancer. Epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) is overexpressed in 40-60% of prostate cancer cases and might be used as a target for specific delivery of toxins and drugs. Radionuclide molecular imaging could enable non-invasive detection of EpCAM and stratification of patients for targeted therapy. Designed ankyrin repeat proteins (DARPins) are scaffold proteins, which can be selected for specific binding to different targets. The DARPin Ec1 binds strongly to EpCAM. To determine an optimal design of Ec1-based probes, we labeled Ec1 at two different positions with four different nuclides (Ga-68, In-111, Co-57 and I-125) and investigated the impact on Ec1 biodistribution. We found that the C-terminus is the best position for labeling and that In-111 and I-125 provide the best imaging contrast. This study might be helpful for scientists developing imaging probes based on scaffold proteins. The epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) is intensively overexpressed in 40-60% of prostate cancer (PCa) cases and can be used as a target for the delivery of drugs and toxins. The designed ankyrin repeat protein (DARPin) Ec1 has a high affinity to EpCAM (68 pM) and a small size (18 kDa). Radiolabeled Ec1 might be used as a companion diagnostic for the selection of PCa patients for therapy. The study aimed to investigate the influence of radiolabel position (N- or C-terminal) and composition on the targeting and imaging properties of Ec1. Two variants, having an N- or C-terminal cysteine, were produced, site-specifically conjugated to a DOTA chelator and labeled with cobalt-57, gallium-68 or indium-111. Site-specific radioiodination was performed using ((4-hydroxyphenyl)-ethyl)maleimide (HPEM). Biodistribution of eight radiolabeled Ec1-probes was measured in nude mice bearing PCa DU145 xenografts. In all cases, positioning of a label at the C-terminus provided the best tumor-to-organ ratios. The non-residualizing [I-125]I-HPEM label provided the highest tumor-to-muscle and tumor-to-bone ratios and is more suitable for EpCAM imaging in early-stage PCa. Among the radiometals, indium-111 provided the highest tumor-to-blood, tumor-to-lung and tumor-to-liver ratios and could be used at late-stage PCa. In conclusion, label position and composition are important for the DARPin Ec1.

    • Non-invasive radionuclide imaging of human epidermal growth factor receptor type 2 (HER2) expression in breast, gastroesophageal, and ovarian cancers may stratify patients for treatment using HER2-targeted therapeutics. Designed ankyrin repeat proteins (DARPins) are a promising type of targeting probe for radionuclide imaging. In clinical studies, the DARPin [Tc-99m]Tc-(HE)(3)-G3 labeled using a peptide-based chelator His-Glu-His-Glu-His-Glu ((HE)(3)), provided clear imaging of HER2 expressing breast cancer 2-4 h after injection. The goal of this study was to evaluate if the use of cysteine-containing peptide-based chelators Glu-Glu-Glu-Cys (E3C), Gly-Gly-Gly-Cys (G(3)C), and Gly-Gly-Gly-Ser-Cys connected via a (Gly-Gly-Gly-Ser)(3)-linker (designated as G3-(G(3)S)(3)C) would further improve the contrast of imaging using Tc-99m-labeled derivatives of G3. The labeling of the new variants of G3 provided a radiochemical yield of over 95%. Labeled G3 variants bound specifically to human HER2-expressing cancer cell lines with affinities in the range of 1.9-5 nM. Biodistribution of [Tc-99m]Tc-G3-G(3)C, [Tc-99m]Tc-G3-(G(3)S)(3)C, and [Tc-99m]Tc-G3-E3C in mice was compared with the biodistribution of [Tc-99m]Tc-(HE)(3)-G3. It was found that the novel variants provide specific accumulation in HER2-expressing human xenografts and enable discrimination between tumors with high and low HER2 expression. However, [Tc-99m]Tc-(HE)(3)-G3 provided better contrast between tumors and the most frequent metastatic sites of HER2-expressing cancers and is therefore more suitable for clinical applications.

  • Direct In Vivo Comparison of Tc-99m-Labeled Scaffold Proteins, DARPin G3 and ADAPT6, for Visualization of HER2 Expression and Monitoring of Early Response for Trastuzumab Therapy

    • Non-invasive radionuclide molecular visualization of human epidermal growth factor receptor type 2 (HER2) can provide stratification of patients for HER2-targeting therapy. This method can also enable monitoring of the response to such therapies, thereby making treatment personalized and more efficient. Clinical evaluation in a phase I study demonstrated that injections of two scaffold protein-based imaging probes, [Tc-99m]Tc-(HE)(3)-G3 and [Tc-99m]Tc-ADAPT6, are safe, well-tolerated and cause a low level of radioactivity in healthy tissue. The goal of this preclinical study was to select the best probe for stratification of patients and response monitoring. Biodistribution of both tracers was compared in mice bearing SKOV-3 xenografts with high HER2 expression or MDA-MB-468 xenografts with very low expression. Changes in accumulation of the probes in SKOV-3 tumors 24 h after injection of trastuzumab were evaluated. Both [Tc-99m]Tc-ADAPT6 and [Tc-99m]Tc-(HE)(3)-G3 permitted high contrast imaging of HER2-expressing tumors and a clear discrimination between tumors with high and low HER2 expression. However, [Tc-99m]Tc-ADAPT6 has better preconditions for higher sensitivity and specificity of stratification. On the other hand, [Tc-99m]Tc-(HE)(3)-G3 is capable of detecting the decrease of HER2 expression on response to trastuzumab therapy only 24 h after injection of the loading dose. This indicates that the [Tc-99m]Tc-(HE)(3)-G3 tracer would be better for monitoring early response to such treatment. The results of this study should be considered in planning of further clinical development of HER2 imaging probes.

  • Visualization of epithelial cell adhesion molecule-expressing renal cell carcinoma xenografts using designed ankyrin repeat protein Ec1 labelled with Tc-99m and I-125
  • 2023

  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • The upregulation of epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) expression, found in a substantial fraction of renal cell carcinomas (RCCs), renders it a potential molecular target for the treatment of disseminated RCC. However, the heterogeneous expression of EpCAM necessitates first identifying the patients with sufficiently high expression of EpCAM in tumors. Using the specific radionuclide-based visualization of EpCAM might enable such identification. The designed ankyrin repeat protein, Ec1, is a small (molecular weight, 18 kDa) targeting protein with a subnanomolar affinity to EpCAM. Using a modified Ec1, a tracer was developed for the radionuclide-based visualization of EpCAM in vivo, i.e., an EpCAM-visualizing designed ankyrin repeat protein (EVD). EVD was labelled with either technetium-99m using technetium tricarbonyl or with iodine-125 (as a surrogate for iodine-123) by coupling it to para-[I-125]iodobenzoyl ([I-125]PIB) groups. Both the I-125-labelled EVD (I-125-EVD) and Tc-99m-labelled EVD (Tc-99m-EVD) bound specifically to EpCAM-expressing SK-RC-52 renal carcinoma cells. The binding affinity (K-D value) of Tc-99m-EVD to SK-RC-52 cells was 400 +/- 28 pM. The tracers' uptake in SK-RC-52 xenografts at 3 h after injection was 5.2 +/- 1.4%ID/g for I-125-EVD and 6.0 +/- 1.4%ID/g for Tc-99m-EVD (no significant difference). These uptake values in SK-RC-52 xenografts were significantly higher (P<0.001) than those in Ramos lymphoma xenografts (used as EpCAM-negative control). The tumor-to-blood uptake ratio was significantly higher for Tc-99m-EVD (25 +/- 6) compared with that of I-125-EVD (14 +/- 3). However, I-125-EVD was associated with higher tumor-to-liver, tumor-to-salivary gland, tumor-to-spleen and tumor-to-intestinal wall ratios. This makes it the preferable tracer for visualizing EpCAM expression levels in the frequently occurring abdominal metastases of RCC.

  • Comparison of tumor-targeting properties of directly and indirectly radioiodinated designed ankyrin repeat protein (DARPin) G3 variants for molecular imaging of HER2
  • 2019
  • Ingår i: International Journal of Oncology. - : SPANDIDOS PUBL LTD. - 1019-6439 .- 1791-2423. ; 54:4, s. 1209-1220

    • Evaluation of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) expression levels in breast and gastroesophageal cancer is used for the stratification of patients for HER2-targeting therapies. The use of radionuclide molecular imaging may facilitate such evaluation in a non-invasive way. Designed ankyrin repeat proteins (DARPins) are engineered scaffold proteins with high potential as probes for radionuclide molecular imaging. DARPin G3 binds with high affinity to HER2 and may be used to visualize this important therapeutic target. Studies on other engineered scaffold proteins have demonstrated that selection of the optimal labeling approach improves the sensitivity and specificity of radionuclide imaging. The present study compared two methods of labeling G3, direct and indirect radioiodination, to select an approach providing the best imaging contrast. G3-H6 was labeled with iodine-124, iodine-125 and iodine-131 using a direct method. A novel construct bearing a C-terminal cysteine, G3-GGGC, was site-specifically labeled using [125I]I-iodo-[(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethyl]maleimide (HPEM). The two radiolabeled G3 variants preserved binding specificity and high affinity to HER2-expressing cells. The specificity of tumor targeting in vivo was demonstrated. Biodistribution comparison of [131I]I-G3-H6 and [125I]I-HPEM-G3-GGGC in mice, bearing HER2-expressing SKOV3 xenografts, demonstrated an appreciable contribution of hepatobiliary excretion to the clearance of [125I]I-HPEM-G3-GGGC and a decreased tumor uptake compared to [131I]I-G3-H6. The direct label provided higher tumor-to-blood and tumor-to-organ ratios compared with the indirect label at 4 h post-injection. The feasibility of high contrast PET/CT imaging of HER2 expression in SKOV3 xenografts in mice using [124I]I-G3-H6 was demonstrated. In conclusion, direct radioiodination is the preferable approach for labeling DARPin G3 with iodine-123 and iodine-124 for clinical single photon emission computed tomography and positron emission tomography imaging.

  • Feasibility of Imaging EpCAM Expression in Ovarian Cancer Using Radiolabeled DARPin Ec1
  • 2020
  • Ingår i: International Journal of Molecular Sciences. - : MDPI. - 1661-6596 .- 1422-0067. ; 21:9
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) is overexpressed in 55%-75% of ovarian carcinomas (OC). EpCAM might be used as a target for a treatment of disseminated OC. Designed ankyrin repeats protein (DARPin) Ec1 is a small (18 kDa) protein, which binds to EpCAM with subnanomolar affinity. We tested a hypothesis that Ec1 labeled with a non-residualizing label might serve as a companion imaging diagnostic for stratification of patients for EpCAM-targeting therapy. Ec1 was labeled with I-125 using N-succinimidyl-para-iodobenzoate. Binding affinity, specificity, and cellular processing of [I-125]I-PIB-Ec1 were evaluated using SKOV-3 and OVCAR-3 ovarian carcinoma cell lines. Biodistribution and tumor-targeting properties of [I-125]I-PIB-Ec1 were studied in Balb/c nu/nu mice bearing SKOV-3 and OVCAR-3 xenografts. EpCAM-negative Ramos lymphoma xenografts served as specificity control. Binding of [I-125]I-PIB-Ec1 to ovarian carcinoma cell lines was highly specific and had affinity in picomolar range. Slow internalization of [I-125]I-PIB-Ec1 by OC cells confirmed utility of non-residualizing label for in vivo imaging. [I-125]I-PIB-Ec1 provided 6 h after injection tumor-to-blood ratios of 30 +/- 11 and 48 +/- 12 for OVCAR-3 and SKOV-3 xenografts, respectively, and high contrast to other organs. Tumor targeting was highly specific. Saturation of tumor uptake at a high dose of Ec1 in SKOV-3 model provided a rationale for dose selection in further studies using therapeutic conjugates of Ec1 for targeted therapy. In conclusion, [I-125]I-PIB-Ec1 is a promising agent for visualizing EpCAM expression in OC.
