  • chemistry and biological behavior of samarium 153 and Rhenium 186 labeled hydroxyapatite particles potential radiopharmaceuticals for radiation synovectomy

    Abstract:

    Hydroxyapatite (HA), a natural constituent of bone, was studied as a particulate carrier for beta-emitting radionuclides in radiation synovectomy. Particles were radiolabeled with 153Sm or 186Re and their in vivo safety was investigated following intra-articular injection into knees of normal rabbits and rabbits with antigen-induced arthritis (AIA). Radiolabeling efficiency was greater than 95%; in vitro studies showed minimal (< or = 1%) loss of activity from particles over a 6-day period with 153Sm-labeled HA and about 5% loss of activity over a 5-day period with 186Re-labeled HA. The total cumulative extra-articular leakage of 153Sm over 6 days was 0.28% in normal rabbits and 0.09% in AIA rabbits. Leakage of 186Re from the joint was 3.05% over a 4-day period with 80% of extra-articular activity found in the urine. Histopathological evaluation of treated knees showed that HA particles are distributed throughout the synovium, embedded in the synovial fat pad. The ease and efficiency with which this HA carrier is labeled, coupled with observed extremely low leakage rates from the joint, make radiolabeled HA particles an attractive candidate as a radiation synovectomy agent for evaluation in rheumatoid arthritis patients.

  • patient specific imaging informed modeling of Rhenium 186 nanoliposome delivery via convection enhanced delivery in glioblastoma multiforme
    Biomedical Physics & Engineering Express, 2021
    Co-Authors: Ryan T Woodall, David A Hormuth, Michael R A Abdelmalik, William T Phillips, Ande Bao, Thomas J R Hughes, Andrew Brenner, Thomas E Yankeelov
    Abstract:

    Convection-enhanced delivery of Rhenium-186 (186Re)-nanoliposomes is a promising approach to provide precise delivery of large localized doses of radiation for patients with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme. Current approaches for treatment planning utilizing convection-enhanced delivery are designed for small molecule drugs and not for larger particles such as186Re-nanoliposomes. To enable the treatment planning for186Re-nanoliposomes delivery, we have developed a computational fluid dynamics approach to predict the distribution of nanoliposomes for individual patients. In this work, we construct, calibrate, and validate a family of computational fluid dynamics models to predict the spatio-temporal distribution of186Re-nanoliposomes within the brain, utilizing patient-specific pre-operative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to assign material properties for an advection-diffusion transport model. The model family is calibrated to single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) images acquired during and after the infusion of186Re-nanoliposomes for five patients enrolled in a Phase I/II trial (NCT Number NCT01906385), and is validated using a leave-one-out bootstrapping methodology for predicting the final distribution of the particles. After calibration, our models are capable of predicting the mid-delivery and final spatial distribution of186Re-nanoliposomes with a Dice value of 0.69 ± 0.18 and a concordance correlation coefficient of 0.88 ± 0.12 (mean ± 95% confidence interval), using only the patient-specific, pre-operative MRI data, and calibrated model parameters from prior patients. These results demonstrate a proof-of-concept for a patient-specific modeling framework, which predicts the spatial distribution of nanoparticles. Further development of this approach could enable optimizing catheter placement for future studies employing convection-enhanced delivery.

    Abstract:

  • interventional therapy of head and neck cancer with lipid nanoparticle carried Rhenium 186 radionuclide
    Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology, 2010
    Co-Authors: Tyler J French, William T Phillips, Beth Goins, Marcela Saenz, S Li, Xavier Garciarojas, Randal A Otto, Ande Bao
    Abstract:

    Purpose Minimally invasive interventional cancer therapy with drug-carrying lipid nanoparticles (ie, liposomes) via convection-enhanced delivery by an infusion pump can increase intratumoral drug concentration and retention while facilitating broad distribution throughout solid tumors. The authors investigated the utility of liposome-carrying β-emitting radionuclides to treat head and neck cancer by direct intratumoral infusion in nude rats. Materials and Methods Four groups of nude rats were subcutaneously inoculated with human tongue cancer cells. After tumors reached an average size of 1.6 cm 3 , the treatment group received an intratumoral infusion of liposomal Rhenium-186 ( 186 Re) (185 MBq [5 mCi]/cm 3 tumor). Three control groups were intratumorally infused with unlabeled liposomes, unencapsulated 186 Re-perrhenate, or unencapsulated intermediate 186 Re compound ( 186 Re-N,N-bis[2-mercaptoethyl]-N′,N′-diethyl-ethylenediamine [BMEDA]). In vivo distribution of 186 Re activity was measured by planar γ-camera imaging. Tumor therapy and toxicity were assessed by tumor size, body weight, and hematology. Results Average tumor volume in the 186 Re-liposome group on posttreatment day 14 decreased to 87.7% ± 20.1%, whereas tumor volumes increased to 395.0%–514.4% on average in the other three groups ( P 186 Re-liposome). The 186 Re-liposomes provided much higher intratumoral retention of 186 Re activity, resulting in an average tumor radiation absorbed dose of 526.3 Gy ± 93.3, whereas 186 Re-perrhenate and 186 Re-BMEDA groups had only 3.3 Gy ± 1.2 and 13.4 Gy ± 9.2 tumor doses, respectively. No systemic toxicity was observed. Conclusions Liposomal 186 Re effectively treated head and neck cancer with minimal side effects after convection-enhanced interventional delivery. These results suggest the potential of liposomal 186 Re for clinical application in interventional therapy of cancer.

    Abstract:

    AACR Annual Meeting-- Apr 18-22, 2009; Denver, CO Purpose: Focal cancer therapy maximizes therapeutic benefits while greatly limiting normal tissue toxicity. Direct, intratumoral infusion of a lipid nanoparticle (liposome) drug carrier system can provide profound elevation of intratumoral drug concentration and retention while facilitating broad distribution throughout solid tumors. Liposomes containing beta-emitting radionuclides have a therapeutic range extending several mm and ultimately deliver high intratumoral radiation doses. Since squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck is predominantly a locoregional disease, we investigated the therapeutic utility of liposomes carrying beta-emitting radionuclides to treat this cancer when administered by direct, intratumoral infusion. Experimental Design: Four groups of nude rats were subcutaneously inoculated with human tongue cancer cells (SCC-4). After the tumors reached an average size of 1.6 cm3, treatment group received an intratumoral infusion of liposomal Rhenium-186 (5 mCi/cm3 tumor) (n=6). Control groups received an intratumoral infusion of either unlabeled liposomes (n=6), 186Re-perrhenate (n=6), or an intermediate 186Re compound (186Re-BMEDA) (n=5) with either the same lipid amount or same 186Re activity. In vivo distribution of 186Re activity was measured by planar gamma camera imaging. Tumor therapy and toxicity were assessed by measurements of tumor size, body weight, and hematology. Animals in control groups were euthanized at day 14 due to excessive tumor burden. The 186Re-liposome treated group was followed for 43 days. Tumors and major organs from all groups were evaluated by histopathology. Results: Tumor volumes on post-treatment day 14 had increased to 514.4±59.1% in the unlabeled liposome group, 426.4±83.0% in the 186Re-perrhenate group, and 395.0±41.2% in the 186Re-BMEDA group. The tumor volume of the 186Re-liposome group dropped to 87.7±20.1% (P<0.001 vscontrol groups). At 43 days, 3 tumors in the 186Re-liposome treated group showed sustained shrinkage (50.8±10.4%), one tumor showed a stable volume (115.3%), and two tumors had delayed growth (225.5±2.5%) at a much slower rate than control groups. 186Re-liposomes provided much better intratumoral retention and dispersion of radioactivity, resulting in an average tumor absorbed radiation dose of 526.3±93.3 Gy, whereas 186Re-perrhenate and 186Re-BMEDA groups had only 3.3±1.2 and 13.4±9.2 Gy tumor doses respectively. All groups showed consistent increases in body weight. No systemic toxicity was observed in any animals. Conclusions: Liposomal 186Re was very effective in suppressing tumor growth after intratumoral infusion, while non-liposomal 186Re showed no therapeutic benefit. Given the excellent tumor suppression and minimal side effects seen in the current study, 186Re-liposomes appear to have great potential for clinical application in treatment of head and neck cancer.
