DOTA-TATE (DOTATATE, [1] DOTA-octreotate, oxodotreotide, DOTA-(Tyr3)-octreotate, [2] and DOTA-0-Tyr3-Octreotate) is an eight amino acid long peptide, with a covalently bonded DOTA bifunctional chelator.

DOTA-TATE can be reacted with the radionuclides gallium-68 (T1/2 = 68 min), lutetium-177 (T1/2 = 6.65 d) and copper-64 (T1/2 = 12.7 h) to form radiopharmaceuticals for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging or radionuclide therapy. 177Lu DOTA-TATE therapy is a form of peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) which targets somatostatin receptors (SSR). [3] [4] In that form of application it is a form of targeted drug delivery.

Chemistry and mechanism of action

DOTA-TATE is a compound containing tyrosine3-octreotate, [2] an SSR agonist, and the bifunctional chelator DOTA (tetraxetan). [5] [6] SSRs are found with high density in numerous malignancies, including CNS, breast, lung, and lymphatics. [7] The role of SSR agonists (i.e. somatostatin and its analogs such as octreotide, somatuline and vapreotide) in neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) is well established, [8] and massive SSR overexpression is present in several NETs. (Tyr 3)-octreotate binds the transmembrane receptors of NETs with highest activity for SSR2 and is actively transported into the cell via endocytosis, allowing trapping of the radioactivity and increasing the probability of the desired double-strand DNA breakage (for tumour control). Trapping improves the probability of this kind of effect due to the relatively short range of the beta particles emitted by 177Lu, which have a maximum range in tissue of <2 mm. [9] [8] [10] Bystander effects include cellular damage by free radical formation.

Clinical applications

Gallium-68 DOTA-TATE

68Ga DOTA-TATE (gallium-68 dotatate, GaTate) is used to measure tumor SSR density and whole-body bio-distribution via PET imaging. [11] [12] 68Ga DOTA-TATE imagery has a much higher sensitivity and resolution compared to 111In octreotide gamma camera or SPECT scans, due to intrinsic modality differences. [11] It is commonly used to confirm the presence of paragangliomas and pheochromocytomas. [13]

Copper-64 DOTA-TATE

Copper (64Cu) oxodotreotide or copper Cu 64 dotatate, sold under the brand name Detectnet, is a radioactive diagnostic agent indicated for use with positron emission tomography (PET) for localization of somatostatin receptor positive neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) in adults. It was FDA approved in September 2020. These are the same indications for as the gallium DOTA-TATE scans, but Cu-64 has advantages over Ga-68 in having a 12-hour half life rather than the much shorter one-hour half life of Ga-68, making it easier to transport from central production locations. [14] [15]

Lutetium-177 DOTA-TATE

The combination of the beta emitter 177Lu with DOTA-TATE can be used in the treatment of cancers expressing the relevant somatostatin receptors. [16] The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers 177Lu-dotatate to be a first-in-class medication. [17]

Alternatives to 177Lu-DOTA-TATE include 90Y (T1/2 = 64.6 h) DOTA-TATE. The longer penetration range in the target tissues of the more energetic beta particles emitted by 90Y (high average beta energy of 0.9336 MeV) could make it more suitable for large tumors while 177Lu would be preferred for smaller volume tumors. [18] [19]

Natural gallium (31Ga) consists of a mixture of two stable isotopes: gallium-69 and gallium-71. Twenty-nine radioisotopes are known, all synthetic, with atomic masses ranging from 56 to 86; along with three nuclear isomers, 64mGa, 72mGa and 74mGa. Most of the isotopes with atomic mass numbers below 69 decay to isotopes of zinc, while most of the isotopes with masses above 71 decay to isotopes of germanium. Among them, the most commercially important radioisotopes are gallium-67 and gallium-68.

A gallium scan is a type of nuclear medicine test that uses either a gallium-67 (67Ga) or gallium-68 (68Ga) radiopharmaceutical to obtain images of a specific type of tissue, or disease state of tissue. Gallium salts like gallium citrate and gallium nitrate may be used. The form of salt is not important, since it is the freely dissolved gallium ion Ga3+ which is active. Both 67Ga and 68Ga salts have similar uptake mechanisms. Gallium can also be used in other forms, for example 68Ga-PSMA is used for cancer imaging. The gamma emission of gallium-67 is imaged by a gamma camera, while the positron emission of gallium-68 is imaged by positron emission tomography (PET).

Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are neoplasms that arise from cells of the endocrine (hormonal) and nervous systems. They most commonly occur in the intestine, where they are often called carcinoid tumors, but they are also found in the pancreas, lung, and the rest of the body.

Copper-64 (64Cu) is a positron and beta emitting isotope of copper, with applications for molecular radiotherapy and positron emission tomography. Its unusually long half-life (12.7-hours) for a positron-emitting isotope makes it increasingly useful when attached to various ligands, for PET and PET-CT scanning.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Octreotide scan</span> Type of medical imaging

An octreotide scan is a type of SPECT scintigraphy used to find carcinoid, pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, and to localize sarcoidosis. It is also called somatostatin receptor scintigraphy (SRS). Octreotide, a drug similar to somatostatin, is radiolabeled with indium-111, and is injected into a vein and travels through the bloodstream. The radioactive octreotide attaches to tumor cells that have receptors for somatostatin. A gamma camera detects the radioactive octreotide, and makes pictures showing where the tumor cells are in the body, typically by a SPECT technique. A technetium-99m based radiopharmaceutical kit is also available.

A germanium-68/gallium-68 generator is a device used to extract the positron-emitting isotope 68Ga of gallium from a source of decaying germanium-68. The parent isotope 68Ge has a half-life of 271 days and can be easily utilized for in-hospital production of generator produced 68Ga. Its decay product gallium-68 is extracted and used for certain positron emission tomography nuclear medicine diagnostic procedures, where the radioisotope's relatively short half-life and emission of positrons for creation of 3-dimensional PET scans, are useful.

A PSMA scan is a nuclear medicine imaging technique used in the diagnosis and staging of prostate cancer. It is carried out by injection of a radiopharmaceutical with a positron or gamma emitting radionuclide and a prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) targeting ligand. After injection, imaging of positron emitters such as gallium-68 (68Ga), copper-64 (64Cu), and fluorine-18 (18F) is carried out with a positron emission tomography (PET) scanner.
