项目摘要

Project Abstract Discovering predictive biomarkers that better identify which patients will respond to cancer immunotherapies is a major unmet clinical need for oncology. Immunohistochemistry of antigen status is fraught with false positives and negatives for drug targets like PD-1 and PD-L1, and on this basis, measuring antigen levels with quantitative imaging may provide a more global assessment of drug target expression in all cancer lesions within a patient. These data may in turn empower more sophisticated and robust algorithms for identifying potential responders. With these considerations in mind, this project will develop a high sensitivity imaging tool targeting PD-L1 that is responsive to the special demands of human translation. For instance, we will develop a radiotracer based on a human recombinant Fab against PD-L1, which will both preclude the need for a costly humanization process and minimize the absorbed dose to normal tissues in patients. Moreover, we will radiofluorinate the Fab using a new chemoenzymatic technology that we recently developed and published. The radiolabeling technology may facilitate more rapid translation as it is site specific and it results in higher specific activity and radiochemical yield compared to the current gold standard in the field, N-succinimidyl-[18F]- 4-fluorobenzoate. In three specific aims, the Fab will be radiolabeled and characterized in vitro, proof of concept imaging studies will be conducted to show specific binding in models of cancer known to respond to anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapies, and longitudinal imaging studies will be conducted to determine if the Fab can detect PD-L1 expression changes due to chemo or radiation therapy that can enhance the impact of anti-PD- 1/PD-L1 immunotherapy. In summary, the data from this project could significantly contribute to the community wide effort to develop better translational predictive biomarkers for important cancer immunotherapies.

项目摘要发现更好地识别哪些患者对癌症免疫疗法反应的预测生物标志物是对肿瘤学的主要未满足临床需求。抗原状态的免疫组织化学充满了误报以及PD-1和PD-L1等药物靶标的负面因素，在此基础上，测量抗原水平定量成像可以在所有癌症病变中对药物靶标表达的全球性评估在患者中。这些数据反过来可能赋予更复杂和强大的算法以识别潜在的响应者。考虑到这些考虑，该项目将开发高灵敏度成像工具针对响应人类翻译的特殊要求的PD-L1。例如，我们将开发一个基于人类重组Fab对PD-L1的辐射示例，这两者都将不排除对昂贵的需求人性化过程并最大程度地减少患者中正常组织的吸收剂量。而且，我们会的我们最近开发和发表的新化学酶技术使用了射射频。放射标记技术可能会促进更快的转换，因为它是特定于站点的，并且会导致更高与该领域的当前黄金标准相比，特异性活性和放射化学产率，N-核酰亚胺基[18F] - 4-氟苯甲酸盐。在三个特定的目标中，将在体外进行放射标记和表征，证明将进行概念成像研究以显示已知响应的癌症模型中的特定结合将进行抗PD-1/PD-L1疗法和纵向成像研究，以确定Fab是否可以检测由于化学疗法或放射治疗引起的PD-L1表达变化，可以增强抗PD-的影响 1/PD-L1免疫疗法。总而言之，该项目的数据可能会为社区做出重大贡献为重要的癌症免疫疗法开发更好的翻译预测生物标志物。
