abstract = {PET imaging using the somatostatin receptor 2 (SSTR2)
antagonist satoreotide trizoxetan (SSO-120, previously
OPS-202) could offer accurate tumor detection and screening
for SSTR2-antagonist radionuclide therapy in patients with
SSTR2-expressing small cell lung cancer (SCLC). The aim of
this single-center study was to investigate tumor uptake and
detection rates of 68Ga-SSO-120 in comparison to 18F-FDG PET
in the initial staging of SCLC patients. Methods: Patients
with newly diagnosed SCLC who underwent additional
whole-body 68Ga-SSO-120 PET/CT during the initial diagnostic
workup were retrospectively included. The mean administered
activity was 139 MBq, and the mean uptake time was 60 min.
Gold-standard staging 18F-FDG PET/CT was evaluated if
available within 2 wk before or after 68Ga-SSO-120 PET if
morphologic differences in CT images were absent.
68Ga-SSO-120- or 18F-FDG-positive lesions were reported in 7
anatomic regions (primary tumor, thoracic lymph node
metastases, and distant metastases including pleural,
contralateral pulmonary, liver, bone, and other) according
to the TNM classification for lung cancer (eighth edition).
Consensus TNM staging (derived from CT, endobronchial
ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration, PET, and
brain MRI) by a clinical tumor board served as the reference
standard. Results: Thirty-one patients were included, 12
with limited and 19 with extensive disease according to the
Veterans Administration Lung Study Group classification.
68Ga-SSO-120-positive tumor was detected in all patients
$(100\%)$ and in 90 of the 217 evaluated regions $(41.5\%).$
Thirteen patients $(42.0\%)$ had intense average
68Ga-SSO-120 uptake (region-based mean SUVmax ≥ 10); 28
patients $(90.3\%)$ had average 68Ga-SSO-120 uptake greater
than liver uptake (region-based mean peak tumor-to-liver
ratio > 1). In 25 patients with evaluable 18F-FDG PET,
primary tumor, thoracic lymph node metastases, and distant
metastases were detected in $100\%,$ $92\%,$ and $64\%,$
respectively, of all investigated patients by 68Ga-SSO-120
and in $100\%,$ $92\%,$ and $56\%,$ respectively, by 18F-FDG
PET. 68Ga-SSO-120 PET detected additional contralateral
lymph node, liver, and brain metastases in 1, 1, and 2
patients, respectively (no histopathology available), and
18F-FDG PET detected additional contralateral lymph node
metastases in 3 patients (1 confirmed, 1 systematic
endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle
aspiration-negative, and 1 without available
histopathology). None of these differences altered Veterans
Administration Lung Study Group staging. The region-based
monotonic correlation between 68Ga-SSO-120 and 18F-FDG
uptake was low (Spearman ρ = 0.26-0.33). Conclusion:
68Ga-SSO-120 PET offers high diagnostic precision with
comparable detection rates and additional complementary
information to the gold standard, 18F-FDG PET. Consistent
uptake in most patients warrants exploration of
SSTR2-directed radionuclide therapy.},
