摘要
Due to its small size and high affinity binding, the engineered scaffold protein ADAPT6 is a promising targeting probe for radionuclide imaging of human epidermal growth factor receptor type 2 (HER2). In a Phase I clinical trial, [99mTc]Tc-ADAPT6 demonstrated safety, tolerability and capacity to visualize HER2 expression in primary breast cancer. In this study, we aimed to select the optimal parameters for distinguishing between breast cancers with high and low expression of HER2 using [99mTc]Tc-ADAPT6 in a planned Phase II study. HER2 expression was evaluated in primary tumours and metastatic axillary lymph nodes (mALNs). SPECT/CT imaging of twenty treatment-naive breast cancer patients was performed 2 h after injection of [99mTc]Tc-ADAPT6. The imaging data were compared with the data concerning HER2 expression obtained by immunohistochemical evaluation of samples obtained by core biopsy. Maximum Standard Uptake Values (SUVmax) afforded the best performance for both primary tumours and mALNs (areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC AUC) of 1.0 and 0.97, respectively). Lesion-to-spleen ratios provided somewhat lower performance. However, the ROC AUCs were still over 0.90 for both primary tumours and mALNs. Thus, lesion-to-spleen ratios should be further evaluated to find if these could be applied to imaging using stand-alone SPECT cameras that do not permit SUV calculations.
