We used Lu-177 FAP-2286 PTRT first time in humans, determined the feasibility, biodistribution and kinetics and obtained first dosimetry data. Methods: 11 advanced adenocarcinoma patients (pancreas 5, breast 4, rectum 1, ovary 1) with lymph node (6), pulmonary (3), pleural (1), peritoneal (3), hepatic (7) and osseous (5) metastases received PTRT using 2.5 - 6.5 GBq Lu-177 FAP-2286 after confirmation of tumor uptake on prior Ga-68 FAP-2286 PET/CT (theranostics principle). A second cycle of PTRT using higher dosage (5.9 - 9.9 GBq) was performed in 9 of these patients. Laboratory parameters (blood counts, liver and kidney function, creatine kinase, and tumor markers) were monitored. Biodistribution was analysed by post-therapy planar and SPECT/CT images. Preliminary dosimetry estimations were performed in 6 patients. Symptoms were monitored before, during, and after treatment. Results: Therapy was well tolerated. Flare after treatment in the form of intensification of pre-existing abdominal pain with nausea and vomiting was noted in a pancreatic carcinoma patient with coeliac lymph node metastases, whereas short-lasting severe headache was seen in a patient with skull metastases. There was mild and self-limiting headache in 3 patients, otherwise no severe short-term side effects occurred. No significant laboratory changes were noted to date. Pain decreased (requiring less morphine) in 3 patients, e.g. in a breast carcinoma patient with disseminated bone metastases (who also had mild alopecia 10 days post-therapy). There was very low uptake in normal tissues and organs. The resulting whole body mean absorbed dose ranged from 0.05 - 0.1 Gy/GBq, that to the red marrow from 0.04 - 0.09 Gy/GBq and kidneys from 0.6 - 0.9 Gy/GBq, comparable to PRRT with Lu-177 DOTATOC. All patients demonstrated high specific tumor uptake with long retention on delayed imaging (up to 10 days). Conclusions: Our first data demonstrate the feasibility of FAP-targeted theranostics. PTRT using Lu-177 FAP-2286 is - due to long tumor retention - a highly promising treatment option in a broad spectrum of cancers. Further follow-up of patients as well as prospective clinical studies are warranted.
