Brief Summary

Positron labeled camptothecin based PET imaging is a new imaging technique that uses positron isotopes such as 68Ga/64Cu for PET/CT (MR) imaging. It is expected to have significant clinical significance in staging and detecting primary and metastatic head and neck cancer, oral cancer, and colorectal cancer tumors.

Detailed Description

CPT, a botanical anticancer drug, is a mechanism that inhibits DNA synthesis and thus exerts anticancer effects by using topoisomerase I as its target of action, and has shown good efficacy in digestive system tumors and head and neck tumors, etc. Previous research result showed that amphiphilic EB-ss-CPT formed nanoparticles by self-assembly, bound to albumin in vivo and released CPT by breaking disulfide bonds under high GSH conditions in tumor tissues, effectively enhancing the pharmacokinetics and biodistribution of camptothecin, thereby improving therapeutic efficacy and In this study, the sensitivity of colorectal cancer cells to the drug was also demonstrated. In this study, 64Cu-NOTA-EB-ss-CPT (hereafter 64Cu-EB-CPT) was generated by posionuclide 64Cu-labelled EB-ss-CPT for PET/CT imaging alone and showed better tumour enrichment compared to the 64Cu-labelled CPT group. EB-CPT is expected to be more enriched in tumour tissue through the EPR effect of its nanoparticles, and 64Cu is also a promising radionuclide for quantitative analysis using PET/CT imaging. The formation of 64Cu-EB-CPT or 68Ga-EB-CPT by labelling EB-CPT with the positronium nuclide 64Cu or 68Ga is expected to be enhanced by the EPR effect of the precursors (the enhanced permeability and retention effect of solid tumours). The EPR effect (enhanced permeability and retention effect) refers to the tendency of molecules or particles of certain sizes to accumulate in tumour tissue relative to normal tissue) is expected to enrich the drug in the tumour area and allow early diagnosis of tumour patients by PET/CT imaging with the preceding positronuclide 64Cu or 68Ga, which can help in the staging of tumours and the development of treatment plans.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
64Cu-EB-ss-CPT PET/CT scan	64Cu-EB-ss-CPT	64Cu-EB-ss-CPT PET/CT scan Dosimetry study about 6 patients were injected with 2 (MBq) per kilogram body weight of 64Cu-EB-ss-CPT PET/CT in one dose intravenously and underwent wholebody scan at 30min#8h#12h#24h#48h, then analysis of dosimetric distribution ofradiopharmaceuticals in human body by HERMES software.
68Ga-EB-ss-CPT PET/CT scan	68Ga-EB-ss-CPT	68Ga-EB-ss-CPT PET/CT scan Dosimetry study about 6 patients were injected with 3 (MBq) per kilogram body weight of 68Ga-EB-ss-CPT PET/CT in one dose intravenously and underwent wholebody scan at 5min#30min#60min#120min#240min, then analysis of dosimetric distribution ofradiopharmaceuticals in human body by HERMES software.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Standardized uptake value	1 year	The semiquantitative analysis will be performed by the same person for all the cases, and the standardized uptake value (SUV) of the tracer in breast tumor will be measured. SUV were obtained by a self-made software and referring to phantom study.If the SUV value cannot be obtained, the COUNTS of target organ/background ratio between the lesion and surrounding tissues shall be used for calculation.
Dosimetric distribution of radiopharmaceuticals	2 months	Input the data of 5-6 patients into HERMES software, and analyze the dose distribution of radioactive drugs in human body through HERMES software

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Adverse events collection	1 year	Adverse events within 1 week after the injection and scanning of patients and patients will be followed and assessed
