[Lu]Lu-DOTA-NNV003, a radioimmunoconjugate targeting CD37, is developed as novel radioimmunotherapy (RIT) treatment for patients with B cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Since patients are at risk for developing hematological toxicities due to CD37 expression on normal B cells, we aimed to develop Zr-labeled NNV003 for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging as a surrogate tool to predict [Lu]Lu-DOTA-NNV003 RIT whole-body distribution and tumor uptake. NNV003 antibody was first radiolabeled with Zr. [Zr]Zr-N-sucDf-NNV003 tumor uptake was evaluated by PET imaging of mice bearing human CD37-expressing REC1 B cell NHL or RAMOS Burkitt's lymphoma xenograft tumors followed by ex vivo analysis. Finally, CD37-targeting of [Zr]Zr-N-sucDf-NNV003 and [Lu]Lu-DOTA-NNV003 RIT were compared. [Zr]Zr-N-sucDf-NNV003 accumulated in REC1 tumors over time, which was not observed for non-specific, In-labeled IgG control molecule. In RAMOS tumor-bearing mice, [Zr]Zr-N-sucDf-NNV003 tumor uptake was higher than [In]In-DTPA-IgG at all tested tracer protein doses (10 µg, 25 µg and 100 µg; P < 0.01), further confirming [Zr]Zr-N-sucDf-NNV003 tumor uptake is CD37-mediated. [Zr]Zr-N-sucDf-NNV003 and [Lu]Lu-DOTA-NNV003 RIT showed similar ex vivo biodistribution and tumor uptake in the RAMOS tumor model. In conclusion, [Zr]Zr-N-sucDf-NNV003 PET imaging can serve to accurately predict CD37-targeting of [Lu]Lu-DOTA-NNV003. To enable clinical implementation, we established a good manufacturing practice (GMP)-compliant production process for [Zr]Zr-N-sucDf-NNV003.

Lung cancer, as a serious threat to human health and life, necessitating urgent treatment and intervention. In this study, we prepared hyaluronic acid (HA)-targeted topotecan liposomes for site-specific delivery to tumor cells. The encapsulation efficiency, stability, chemical structure, and morphology of HA-targeted topotecan liposomes were studied, and the release properties, cellular uptake capacity, and therapeutic efficacy of topotecan were further investigated.

Age, frequency, and strategy optimization for organized colorectal cancer screening: a decision analysis conducted in China for the years 2023-2038.

Background: The colorectal cancer mortality rate in China has exceeded that in many developing countries and is expected to further increase owing to multiple factors, including the aging population. However, the optimal policy for colorectal cancer screening is unknown.

Methods: We synthesized the most up-to-date data using a 12-state Markov model populated with a cohort of Chinese men and women born during 1949-1988, and evaluated 16 conventional and 40 risk-tailored schemes for colorectal cancer screening, considering possible combinations of age (starting at 40 + years and ending at 75 years), frequency, and strategy (standard colonoscopy, fecal immunochemical testing with colonoscopy if positive, or risk-tailored).

Drug resistance is an important factor for prostate cancer (PCa) to progress into refractory PCa, and abnormal lipid metabolism usually occurs in refractory PCa, which presents great challenges for PCa therapy. Here, a cluster of differentiation 36 (CD36) inhibitor sulfosuccinimidyl oleate sodium (CD36i) and stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 (SCD1) siRNA (siSCD1) are selected to inhibit lipid uptake and synthesis in PCa, respectively. To this end, a multiresponsive drug delivery nanosystem, HA@CD36i-TR@siSCD1 is designed.

Fibroblast activation protein inhibitors (FAPIs) labeled with gallium-68 and lutetium-177 show potential for use in the diagnosis and treatment of various cancers expressing FAP. However, Lu-labeled FAPIs often exhibit short tumor retention time, limiting their therapeutic applications. To improve tumor retention, we synthesized three radiolabeled dimeric FAPIs, [F], [Cu], and [Ga].

Pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas (PPGLs) are rare neuroendocrine tumors derived from chromaffin cells, with 80-85% originating in the adrenal medulla and 15-20% from extra-adrenal chromaffin tissues (paragangliomas). Approximately 30-40% of PPGLs have a hereditary component, making them one of the most genetically predisposed tumor types. Recent advances in genetic research have classified PPGLs into three molecular clusters: pseudohypoxia-related, kinase-signaling, and -signaling pathway variants.
