Purpose
PARP inhibitor (PARPi) therapy is approved for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) and homologous recombination repair (HRR) genomic aberrations. However, only a fraction of patients with
BRCA1/2
mutations respond to PARPi therapy. In this pilot study, we assess PARP-1 expression in prostate cancer patients with and without HRR genomic alternations using a novel PARP-based imaging agent.
Procedures
Nine advanced prostate cancer patients were studied with PET/CT and [
18
F]FluorThanatrace (FTT), an analogue of the PARPi rucaparib. Images were analyzed using maximum standardized uptake values (SUV
max
). PARP expression was assessed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) when feasible (
n
= 4).
Results
We found great variability in FTT uptake (SUV
max
range: 2.3–15.4). Patients with HRR mutations had a significantly higher SUV
max
(
p
= 0.0379) than patients with non-HRR mutations although there was an overlap in FTT uptake between groups. Three patients without HRR and one with HRR mutations had similarly high PARP1 IHC expression.
Conclusions
FTT-PET/CT may serve as an alternate biomarker for PARP1 expression and a potential method for PARPi treatment selection.
