摘要

Purpose

[18F] Poly-ADP-ribose polymerase inhibitors (PARPi), a novel radiotracer, enables visualization of PARP1 upregulation by PET imaging. Here, we aimed to quantify PARPi uptake in tumor lesions of metastatic castration-resistant PCa (mCRPC) patients and perform a comparison with prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) expression using PET/CT scans.

Methods

Data from 22 male patients with mCRPC, who underwent [18F]PARPi and [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT scans, were retrospectively quantified. Lesions with relevant PARPi uptake (higher than background) were delineated and correlated with their [68Ga]PSMA uptake using standardized uptake values (SUV). Additionally, a comparison was performed to investigate the effects of homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) alterations on PARPi tumor uptake.

Results

The majority of metastatic PCa lesions that exhibited PARPi uptake were located in the bones (n = 57), with mean SUVmax values of 4.9 ± 1.5 for PARPi and 30.9 ± 28.3 for [68Ga]PSMA. Additionally, 3 local prostate lesions, 14 lymph nodes and 4 further metastatic lesions were detected. Significant correlations were identified between PARPi- and [68Ga]PSMA uptake, as measured by SUVmean (r = 0.48, p < 0.001), SUVpeak (r = 0.48, p < 0.001) and SUVmax (r = 0.43, p < 0.001) of the osseous metastatic lesions and SUVpeak (r = 0.49, p = 0.04) of extraosseous lesions. No significant differences were found between PARPi uptake of metastatic lesions in patients with or without HRD alterations (all p > 0.05).

Conclusion

Results showed a considerable uptake of [18F]PARPi in mCRPC patients and indicated a correlation between PARPi uptake and PSMA expression, suggesting the potential of using [18F]PARPi as a diagnostic imaging tool in mCRPC patients. More studies are needed to evaluate the clinical benefit of this innovative radiotracer.
