ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
Initially, prostate cancer responds to hormone therapy, but eventually resistance develops. Beta emitter-based prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeted radionuclide therapy is approved for the treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. Here we introduce a targeted alpha therapy (TAT) consisting of the PSMA antibody pelgifatamab covalently linked to a macropa chelator and labeled with actinium-225 and compare its efficacy and tolerability with other TATs. EXPERIMENTALDESIGN:
The in vitro characteristics and in vivo biodistribution, antitumor efficacy, and tolerability of 225Ac-macropa-pelgifatamab (225Ac-pelgi) and other TATs were investigated in cell line- and patient-derived prostate cancer xenograft models. The antitumor efficacy of 225Ac-pelgi was also investigated in combination with the androgen receptor inhibitor darolutamide.RESULTS:
Actinium-225-labeling of 225Ac-pelgi was efficient already at room temperature. Potent in vitro cytotoxicity was seen in PSMA-expressing (LNCaP, MDA-PCa-2b, and C4-2) but not in PSMA-negative (PC-3 and DU-145) cell lines. High tumor accumulation was seen for both 225Ac-pelgi and 225Ac-DOTA-pelgi in the MDA-PCa-2b xenograft model. In the C4-2 xenograft model, 225Ac-pelgi showed enhanced antitumor efficacy with a T/Cvolume (treatment/control) ratio of 0.10 compared with 225Ac-DOTA-pelgi, 225Ac-DOTA-J591, and 227Th-HOPO-pelgifatamab (227Th-pelgi; all at 300 kBq/kg) with T/Cvolume ratios of 0.37, 0.39, and 0.33, respectively. 225Ac-pelgi was less myelosuppressive than 227Th-pelgi. 225Ac-pelgi showed dose-dependent treatment efficacy in the patient-derived KuCaP-1 model and strong combination potential with darolutamide in both cell line- (22Rv1) and patient-derived (ST1273) xenograft models.CONCLUSIONS:
These results provide a strong rationale to investigate 225Ac-pelgi in patients with prostate cancer. A clinical phase I study has been initiated (NCT06052306).
