Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of contrast imaging agents, and more particularly to... 18 Application of F-FAPI-42 in the preparation of products for diagnosing pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis. Background Technology

[0002] Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a rare disease characterized by diffuse cystic lesions in the lungs, which may have distant metastases. It includes two clinical subtypes: sporadic LAM (S-LAM) and tuberous sclerosis complex associated lymphangioleiomyomatosis (TSC-LAM). LAM is a systemic disease affecting multiple organs. Early symptoms are often subtle, typically presenting as progressively worsening dyspnea, which may be accompanied by pneumothorax, chylothorax, hemoptysis, and other pulmonary symptoms. Extrapulmonary manifestations are most commonly angiomyolipoma (AML), and may also include meningiomas and lymphangioleiomyomas (extrapulmonary lymphadenopathy and axial lymphatic cystic masses).

[0003] Currently, diagnostic methods for LAM include lung biopsy, high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT), and positron emission tomography / computed tomography (PET / CT).

[0004] Lung biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosing LAM, but because pathological examination is an invasive procedure and carries risks such as inducing complications like pneumothorax and hemoptysis, it has certain limitations in clinical diagnosis and treatment.

[0005] High-resolution CT is a commonly used imaging technique for diagnosing cystic changes in the lungs. When HRCT reveals typical diffuse cystic changes in the lungs, the presence of one or more of the following features is sufficient to diagnose lung aneurysm (LAM): tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC), angiomyolipoma (AML), serum vascular endothelial growth factor-D ≥ 800 pg / ml, chylothorax or chylous ascites, lymphangiomyoma, the presence of LAM cells or LAM cell clusters in serous cavity effusions or lymph nodes, or histopathological confirmation of LAM (lung, retroperitoneal, or pelvic tumor). Because LAM is a low-grade malignant tumor that affects multiple organs and has a metastatic potential, a whole-body scan is usually required to assess tumor invasion. However, HRCT has limitations in detecting smaller lesions and lymphatic system lesions.

[0006] Positron emission tomography (PET) is often combined with computed tomography (CT) and has become an important advanced imaging technology in oncology. In PET / CT, a radioactive tracer is injected into the bloodstream. Due to the specific cellular biological characteristics of tumors, the radioactive tracer will accumulate, thus accurately locating the tumor and helping to accurately determine the extent of tumor metastasis. 18 F-deoxyglucose ( 18 F-FDG is a commonly used injectable radioactive tracer, and has been used by scholars in the past. 18 F-FDG evaluation of LAM revealed that LAM and AMLs did not show positive results in FDG-PET scans.

[0007] Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are a major component of the stroma surrounding epithelial cancer cells and a key factor in cancer progression. They produce fibroblast activation protein (FAP), and FAP-positive CAFs play an important role in tumor progression and metastasis. FAP is expressed in wound healing, fibrosis, and the stroma of many malignant tumors, but its expression is low in normal adult tissues. Quinoline-based fibroblast activation protein inhibitors (FAPIs) specifically bind to the FAP-related enzyme domain. FAPI is a novel PET tracer; PET / CT using FAPI has the advantages of low radiation exposure, rapid in vivo metabolism, and insensitivity to changes in blood glucose levels, resulting in better patient tolerance. FAPI can bind to the type II transmembrane serine protease FAP expressed by CAFs and is now used for the evaluation of various tumors and interstitial lung diseases.

[0008] However, CAFs exhibit significant heterogeneity, and various subgroups lack clear biomarkers. Therefore, the precise cellular origin of CAFs remains unclear, and not all tumors are suitable for PET / CT scan diagnosis using FAPI as a tracer. Summary of the Invention

[0009] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies and provide a better method for identifying disease lesions. 18 Application of F-FAPI-42 in the preparation of products for diagnosing pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis.

[0010] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0011] In a first aspect, the present invention provides 18 Application of F-FAPI-42 in the preparation of products for diagnosing pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis.

[0012] This invention uses 18 F-FAPI-42, used to prepare a product for diagnosing pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM), is significantly superior to other products in diagnosing LAM patients. 18 F-FDG.

[0013] Furthermore, the product is a developer.

[0014] Furthermore, the product is a PET / CT imaging agent.

[0015] Furthermore, the products include those for diagnosing sporadic lymphangioleiomyomatosis and / or hereditary tuberous sclerosis-associated pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis.

[0016] Furthermore, the product is for identifying lesions of pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis.

[0017] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the lesion includes renal angiomyolipoma.

[0018] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the lesion includes a mediastinal lymphangioma.

[0019] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the lesion includes an abdominal lymphangiomyoma.

[0020] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the lesion includes a pelvic lymphangioma.

[0021] Furthermore, the product is based on the 18 F-FAPI-42 is an imaging formulation made by adding an active ingredient to an additive and / or carrier that is acceptable for the preparation of an imaging agent.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0023] FAPI is a novel PET tracer. PET / CT using FAPI features low radiation exposure, rapid metabolism, and is unaffected by changes in blood glucose levels, resulting in better patient tolerance. (Radioisotopes) 18 F compared to 68 Ga, with its longer half-life and higher electronic energy, is more advantageous in clinical use. 18 F-FAPI-42, a novel PET / CT tracer, is significantly superior to traditional tracers in assessing the condition of patients with laryngeal muscular adenoma (LAM) and identifying lesions, including renal angiomyolipoma, mediastinal lymphangiofibroid, abdominal lymphangiofibroid, and pelvic lymphangiofibroid. 18 F-FDG.

[0024] LAM nodules contain a large number of LAM-associated fibroblasts (LAFs), which are similar to CAFs and play an important role in LAM cell growth and disease progression. In this invention, 18 F-FAPI-42 and 18 When evaluating cystic lesions in the lungs of patients with lung atrophy (LAM) using both F-FDG and scintigraphy agents, there was no statistically significant difference in SUVmax and MTV / FTV. Although CAFs (calcified artery foci) exhibit similar characteristics in LAM lesions, CAFs are significantly heterogeneous, and various subpopulations lack clear biomarkers; therefore, the precise cellular origin of CAFs remains unclear. Based on the experimental results of this invention, it is suggested that LAFs in lung LAM lesions may not actually be CAFs. Clinically, this characteristic can be used to differentiate between cystic changes in LAM lungs and cystic changes caused by tumors or inflammation. Attached Figure Description

[0034] 2. Developer: 18 F-FDG and 18 The radiochemical purity of F-FAPI-42 exceeds 95%. The final product is diluted with physiological saline and filtered through a 0.22μm Millipore filter before being sterilized in a sterile multi-dose syringe. After testing confirms that the final product is sterile and pyrogen-free, it is then used clinically.

[0035] Example 1: PET-CT Imaging and Image Reconstruction

[0036] All patients used it for 7 consecutive days. 18 F-FAPI-42 and 18 F-FDG is used for PET-CT scanning. Patients must fast for at least 6 hours before the PET-CT scan. 18 Before undergoing a PET-CT scan with F-FDG, blood glucose levels should be adjusted to below 7.0 mmol / L (for diabetic patients, blood glucose should be below 11.1 mmol / L). 18 No special preparation (such as fasting or normal blood glucose levels) is required on the day of a PET-CT scan using the F-FAPI-42. The results are calculated based on the patient's weight. 18 F-FDG and 18 The injection dose of F-FAPI-42 is 3.7 MBq / kg.

[0037] Intravenous injection 18 F-FDG or 18Approximately 60 minutes (45–105 minutes) after F-FAPI-42, a head-to-mid-thigh PET-CT scan was performed. Following the whole-body PET-CT scan, a thin-slice CT scan of the chest was performed after breath-holding. All PET-CT scans were performed on two PET-CT scanners (uMi Panorama 35S, United Imaging Healthcare, Shanghai, China or Discovery MI; GE Healthcare, WI, USA) using the same standard protocols.

[0038] The Discovery MIPET-CT scanner parameters were: tube voltage 120kV, current 100mA, overall slice thickness 3.75mm; thin-slice chest CT tube voltage 120kV, current 150mA, slice thickness 1.25mm; tube voltage 120kV, current 150mA, end cap slice thickness 3.75mm. The uMi Panorama 35S PET-CT scanner parameters were: tube voltage 120kV; current, modulation mA; slice thickness 2.90mm. All patients underwent whole-body CT scans, and all acquired data were transferred to advanced workstations (uMl, R002, United Imaging Healthcare) and reconstructed using the Ordered Subset Expectation-Maximization (OSEM) algorithm (including 4 iterations, 10 subsets, and a 360*360 matrix).

[0039] Before the imaging agent is injected, medical staff check the patient's standard vital signs (such as blood pressure, heart rate, and body temperature) and ask the patient to report any symptoms within 2 hours after the PET-CT scan. All patients are responsive to the treatment. 18 F-FDG, 18 F-FAPI-42 was well tolerated during PET-CT scans, with no adverse reactions. 18 F-FDG, 18 There were no signs of adverse reactions related to F-FAPI-42, and no patients reported any abnormal symptoms.

[0040] Example 2: PET-CT Image Analysis and Statistics

[0041] 1. Analysis

[0042] use 18 F-FDG and 18 Images obtained from PET-CT scans performed on the F-FAPI-42 are interpreted by two nuclear medicine physicians with extensive experience in PET-CT diagnosis, and any disagreements are resolved through consultation.

[0043] To prevent bias, the study was conducted in groups (different physicians) according to study type: Group 1 physicians treated all patients using... 18The second group of physicians reviewed all images obtained from PET-CT scans using F-FDG. 18 Images from PET-CT scans performed using the F-FAPI-42 were reviewed.

[0044] A positive lesion is defined as one with higher radioactive uptake than the surrounding or contralateral normal tissue. A region of interest (ROI) is created for each lesion to obtain its maximum standard uptake (SUVmax). For lesions with negative uptake, ROIs are also created based on localization from other radiological examinations. If there are more than one lesion in a single organ, only the highest SUVmax is recorded. On PET-CT images, areas of tracer uptake that are visually above the background (mediastinal blood pool) are considered positive (the positivity rate for pulmonary cystic lesions and renal angiomyolipoma (RAML) is assessed visually by CT). The number of focal lesions (positive lesions) and their SUVmax are recorded. This invention evaluates some common organs and sites of LAM accumulation: lung, kidney, mediastinum, retroperitoneum, and pelvic lesions.

[0045] 2. Statistical analysis

[0046] All statistical analyses were performed using SPSS 22.5 and Graphpad Prism 9.5.0. The Shapiro-Wilk test was used to verify the normality of the samples. All continuous data were expressed as median (interquartile range). Paired-samples t-test and Wilcoxon rank-sum test were used for comparisons. 18 F-FAPI-42 and 18 Differences in SUVmax, TBR, MTV / FTV, and TLG / TLF between F-FDG and T-FDG were analyzed. Independent samples t-test and Mann-Whitney U test were used to compare SUVmax, TBR, MTV / FTV, and TLG / TLF between S-LAM and TSC-LAM. 18 F-FAPI-42 and 18 (F-FDG comparisons). A two-tailed p-value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
