Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of targeted α-radionuclide therapy, and in particular to a method for evaluating biological effective dose of targeted α-radionuclide therapy based on microdosimetry. Background Art
[0002] Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) labeled with alpha radionuclides has achieved good results in targeted treatment of metastatic refractory prostate cancer (mCRPC). Compared with beta rays, alpha rays have a shorter range, and the alpha radionuclides accumulated in the tumor have less impact on surrounding normal tissues; the LET of alpha rays is higher than that of beta rays, and the killing effect on tumor cells is stronger; in addition, it has also been found clinically that 225 Ac-PSMA-617 can overcome patients' 177 Lu-PSMA-617 has drug resistance and hematotoxicity. Therefore, targeted α-radiotherapy has become an important research field. The radiation dose to tumors or normal tissues directly affects the effect and side effects of treatment, so dose assessment in targeted α-radionuclide therapy is crucial.
[0003] In the dose assessment of targeted α-radionuclide therapy, since the energy deposition of high-LET α particles is more dense, the physical absorbed dose is insufficient to describe the biological effect of α particles. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a method for assessing the biological effective dose of targeted α-radionuclide therapy.
[0004] However, in existing dose calculation studies of targeted α-radionuclide therapy, the relative biological effect is taken as a fixed value, or calculated according to an empirical formula, which cannot reflect the influence of factors such as cell type, radiation dose, and dose rate. In addition, the existing dose assessment methods for targeted α-radionuclide therapy fail to link the microscopic energy deposition characteristics of α particles with macroscopic biological effects, and lack a method for assessing the biological effective dose.

The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present application, and should not be construed as limiting the present application.
[0066] In existing dose calculation studies of targeted α-radionuclide therapy, the relative biological effect is taken as a fixed value or calculated according to an empirical formula, which cannot reflect the influence of factors such as cell type, radiation dose, and dose rate. In addition, the existing dose assessment methods for targeted α-radionuclide therapy fail to link the microscopic energy deposition characteristics of α particles with macroscopic biological effects, and lack a method for assessing the biological effective dose.
[0067] To address this problem, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for evaluating the biological effective dose of targeted α-radionuclide therapy based on microdosimetry, in which Monte Carlo simulation is performed at the organ level to obtain the organ absorbed dose and absorbed dose rate; at the same time, microdose simulation of α-radionuclide is performed at the cellular scale to obtain the microdose spectrum in the cell nucleus, and for different types of cells, the microdose kinetic model is fitted to obtain the biological effect parameters of different cells, thereby evaluating the biological effective dose (BED) of the organ, thereby solving the problem of the lack of an evaluation method for the biological effective dose in the dose evaluation of targeted α-radionuclide therapy.
[0068] Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present invention provides a flow chart of a method for evaluating the biological effective dose of targeted α-radionuclide therapy based on microdosimetry. Figure 1 As shown, the method comprises the following steps:
[0069] Step 101, integrating the time activity curve of α radionuclides in the organ to obtain the cumulative activity, and calculating the physical absorbed dose and dose rate of the organ through Monte Carlo simulation.
[0070] In the embodiment of the present application, the time activity curve of the α radionuclide in the organ is first integrated to obtain the cumulative activity, and then the cumulative activity is used as the source term of the Monte Carlo dose simulation to calculate the physical absorbed dose of the organ. In addition, the dose rate simulation of the target organ k is calculated by the following formula, which is expressed as:
[0071]
[0072] in, is the dose rate of the target organ k at time t, A i (t) is the activity of the radionuclide in source organ i at time t, S i→k It is the conversion factor from unit activity in source organ i to absorbed dose in target organ k.
[0073] Step 102: construct a microdose spectrum of α-radionuclide based on microdose Monte Carlo simulation to obtain the average line energy of saturation-corrected dose for characterizing radiation quality.
[0074] In the embodiment of the present application, the decay of α-radioactive nuclides is simulated using Monte Carlo simulation software, and the position and energy of all energy deposition of each incident particle are recorded.
[0075] In a possible embodiment, the microdose simulation of α rays can be performed according to the calculation program of the nanodose Monte Carlo simulation software NASIC developed by this laboratory, and the position and energy of all energy deposition of each incident particle can be recorded by adding microdose spectrum statistics in the physical module of NASIC.
[0076] Then, one of the energy depositions is randomly selected and all the energy depositions in the surrounding sensitive volume are counted, and the line energy y is calculated by dividing it by the average chord length of the sensitive volume, and the microdose spectrum f(y) is generated according to the line energy distribution.
[0077] Furthermore, based on the microdose spectrum f(y), the dose average line energy y for saturation correction is calculated * , the expression is:
[0078]
[0079] Among them, y0 is a saturation parameter, which is related to the geometric characteristics of the sensitive volume, the cell nucleus radius and the biological effect parameter β, and its expression is:

[0082] It should be noted that the dose average line can* It reflects the influence of heavy ion radiation quality on cell survival.
[0083] In the present embodiment, a cell cluster model was constructed in NASIC, and a microdose simulation of α-radionuclide was performed. Figure 3 The model cell is composed of three concentric spheres with radii of 5.5μm, 9.9μm and 10.0μm, which respectively divide the nucleus, cytoplasm and cell membrane. In addition, the simulated cells in the cell cluster model are evenly arranged in the x, y and z directions of the three-dimensional space.
[0084] In addition, in order to explore the influence of the nuclide distribution position on the microdose distribution in the cell nucleus, in the microdose Monte Carlo simulation, there are four settings for the decay position of the α radionuclide: uniform distribution in the cell, uniform distribution in the cytoplasm, uniform distribution in the intercellular space, and uniform distribution in the entire cell cluster model. The line energy of the rays generated by each decay of the mother or daughter in the decay chain is counted separately to obtain the microdose spectrum of the entire decay chain. It is then brought into the microdose kinetic model, and the parameters of the microdose kinetic model are iteratively optimized using the least squares method based on the cell experimental data to obtain the biological effect parameters α and β of the α radionuclide.
[0085] Step 103, using the microdose kinetic model, the biological effect parameters of the α-radionuclide are obtained by fitting the saturation-corrected dose average line energy with the cell experimental data.
[0086] In the embodiments of the present application, the microdose kinetic model (MKM) used is a radiation bioeffect model based on the dual radiation action theory established by Japan NIRS, and is widely used in the biological effect evaluation of proton and heavy ion radiotherapy.
[0087] In this microdose kinetic model, the following formula is used to fit the relationship between the cell survival fraction S and the absorbed dose D, which is expressed as:
[0088]
[0089] Among them, α and β are biological effect parameters related to cell type and radiation type, respectively.
[0090] Among them, the calculation expression of the biological effect parameter α is:
[0091]
[0092] Among them, α0 is the initial bioeffect parameter, R n is the radius of the nucleus, ρ is the density of the nucleus, r d is the average chord length of the sensitive volume.
[0093] In the present embodiment, the microdose kinetic model was refitted using multiple existing sets of monoenergetic α-ray cell experimental data. The cell data were obtained from the PIDE database, including 27 sets of α-ray irradiated in vitro V79 cells (Chinese hamster cells) and 6 sets of α-ray irradiated in vitro Renca cells (mouse renal cancer cells).
[0094] Step 104, combining the physical absorbed dose, dose rate and biological effect parameters to evaluate the biological effective dose of the target organ.
[0095] In the embodiments of the present application, the biological effective dose (BED) is calculated according to the following formula, combining the results of macroscopic physical dose simulation and microscopic microdose simulation:
[0096]
[0097] Among them, BED is the biological effective dose, α and β are the biological effect parameters obtained by microdose simulation, and G(T) is a factor that describes the effect of dose rate on radiation biological effects. Its calculation formula is:
[0098]
