Incomplete resection of prostate cancer (PCa) occurs in 15%-50% of PCa patients. Disease recurrence negatively impacts oncological outcome. The use of radio-, fluorescent-, or photosensitizer-labeled ligands to target the prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) has become a well-established method for the detection and treatment of PCa.
Methods: Here, we developed and characterized multimodal [111In]In-DOTA(GA)-IRDye700DX-PSMA ligands, varying in their molecular composition, for use in intraoperative radiodetection, fluorescence imaging and targeted photodynamic therapy of PCa lesions. PSMA-specificity of these ligands was determined in xenograft tumor models and on fresh human PCa biopsies.
Results: Ligand structure optimization showed that addition of the photosensitizer (IRDye700DX) and additional negative charges significantly increased ligand uptake in PSMA-expressing tumors. Moreover, an ex vivo incubation study on human tumor biopsies confirmed the PSMA-specificity of these ligands on human samples, bridging the gap to the clinical situation.
Conclusion: We developed a novel PSMA-targeting ligand, optimized for multimodal image-guided PCa surgery combined with targeted photodynamic therapy.
