摘要

Purpose

To assess risk factors for peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT)-related toxicity to the kidneys, liver, and bone marrow (BM).

Methods

This is a retrospective study of patients with advanced, well-differentiated neuroendocrine neoplasms treated with 177Lu-DOTATATE. Serial blood tests for complete blood count, kidney function, and liver function tests were drawn before and 2–4 weeks after each PRRT cycle. Toxicity was defined based on the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE). Patients’ parameters were compared to assess the risk of PRRT-related toxicities; correlation analysis between baseline, post-cycle parameters, and their ratios was performed. Multivariable analysis was performed to identify independent predictors for PRRT toxicity.

Results

In 178 PRRT cycles in 47 patients (53.2% women, median age 65 years), eight patients had hematological toxicity grade ≥ 2 and seven had hepatic toxicity. A positive correlation was found between baseline and post-treatment BM, kidney, and liver markers. Similarly, a positive correlation was found between the post-treatment-to-pre-treatment marker ratio in the first cycle and the full-treatment-to-baseline ratio. Women had a more pronounced decrease in blood WBC count (last/1st measurement ratio, 0.52 ± 0.17 vs. 0.72 ± 0.19, p < 0.001, women vs. men, respectively), with a similar trend for hemoglobin (Hb) concentration (0.97 ± 0.08 vs. 1.01 ± 0.10, p = 0.090) during treatment. In the logistic regression, women’s risk for neutrophil impairment was 8.7 times higher than men’s (p = 0.034).

Conclusion

Baseline assessment reflects the patient’s reserves and their post-PRRT state. Further, women are more prone to BM-related toxicity from PRRT. These insights can help optimize treatment strategies and improve patient outcomes in this population.
