Title Monitoring afatinib treatment in HER2-positive gastric cancer with 18F-FDG and 89Zr-trastuzumab PET.
URL
Abstract Text We evaluated the ability of the PET imaging agent (89)Zr-trastuzumab to delineate HER2-positive gastric cancer and to monitor the pharmacodynamic effects of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) tyrosine kinase inhibitor afatinib.Using (89)Zr-trastuzumab, (18)F-FDG, or 3'-deoxy-3'-(18)F-fluorothymidine ((18)F-FLT PET), we imaged HER2-positive NCI-N87 and HER2-negative MKN74 gastric cancer xenografts in mice. Next, we examined the pharmacodynamic effects of afatinib in NCI-N87 xenografts using (89)Zr-trastuzumab and (18)F-FDG PET and comparing imaging results to changes in tumor size and in protein expression as monitored by Western blot and histologic studies.Although (18)F-FDG uptake in NCI-N87 tumors did not change, a decrease in (89)Zr-trastuzumab uptake was observed in the afatinib-treated versus control groups (3.0 ± 0.0 percentage injected dose per gram (%ID/g) vs. 21.0 ± 3.4 %ID/g, respectively; P < 0.05). (89)Zr-trastuzumab PET results corresponded with tumor reduction, apoptosis, and downregulation of HER2 observed on treatment with afatinib. Downregulation of total HER2, phosphorylated (p)-HER2, and p-EGFR occurred within 24 h of the first dose of afatinib, with a sustained effect over 21 d of treatment.Afatinib demonstrated antitumor activity in HER2-positive gastric cancer in vivo. (89)Zr-trastuzumab PET specifically delineated HER2-positive gastric cancer and can be used to measure the pharmacodynamic effects of afatinib.

Filtering

  • Case insensitive filtering will display rows if any text in any cell matches the filter term
  • Use simple literal full or partial string matches
  • Separate multiple filter terms with a space. Any order may be used (i. e. a b c and c b a are equivalent )
  • Filtering will only apply to rows that are already loaded on the page. Filtering has no impact on query parameters.
  • Use quotes to match on a longer phrase with spaces (i.e. "mtor c1483f")

Sorting

  • Generally, the default sort order for tables is set to be first column ascending; however, specific tables may set a different default sort order.
  • Click on any column header arrows to sort by that column
  • Hold down the Shift key and click multiple columns to sort by more than one column. Be sure to set ascending or descending order for a given column before moving on to the next column.
