Development and Clinical Translation of immunoPET Imaging Probes for Pancreatic Cancer
Pancreatic cancer remains one of the most aggressive cancer types. Target-specific targeted therapy is an attractive therapeutic alternative for the treatment of patients with a wide range of cancers, including pancreatic cancer. Companion diagnostic technique is critical for the success of targeted therapies. SHR-A1921 is a TROP2-directed antibody-drug-conjugate (ADC) approved for several clinical trials for advanced solid tumors. SHR1920 is the humanized anti-Trop2 monoclonal antibody (hIgG1) of SHR-A1921. Radio-labeling SHR1920 with radionuclide Zirconium-89 (89Zr) enables non-invasive imaging and quantification of SHR-A1921 distribution in cancer patients. Performing a \[89Zr\]Zr-DFO-SHR1920 PET scan before treatment with SHR-A1921 can evaluate tracer uptake in the primary and metastatic tumor lesions and normal organ distribution. CLND18.2 is another potential therapeutic target for pancreatic cancer. Target-specific immunoPET imaging may help identify patients more likely to benefit from targeted therapy.
