Evaluation of two novel ⁶⁴Cu-labeled RGD peptide radiotracers for enhanced PET imaging of tumor integrin αvβ₃.
Article in European journal of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeOur goal was to demonstrate that suitably derivatized monomeric RGD peptide-based PET tracers, targeting integrin αvβ3, may offer advantages in image contrast, time for imaging, and low uptake in nontarget tissues.
methodsTwo cyclic RGDfK derivatives, (PEG)2-c(RGDfK) and PEG4-SAA4-c(RGDfK), were constructed and conjugated to NOTA for (64)Cu labeling. Their integrin αvβ3-binding properties were determined via a competitive cell binding assay. Mice bearing U87MG tumors were intravenously injected with each of the (64)Cu-labeled peptides, and PET scans were acquired during the first 30 min, and 2 and 4 h after injection. Blocking and ex vivo biodistribution studies were carried out to validate the PET data and confirm the specificity of the tracers.
resultsThe IC50 values of NOTA-(PEG)2-c(RGDfK) and NOTA-PEG4-SAA4-c(RGDfK) were 444 ± 41 nM and 288 ± 66 nM, respectively. Dynamic PET data of (64)Cu-NOTA-(PEG)2-c(RGDfK) and (64)Cu-NOTA-PEG4-SAA4-c(RGDfK) showed similar circulation t 1/2 and peak tumor uptake of about 4 %ID/g for both tracers. Due to its marked hydrophilicity, (64)Cu-NOTA-PEG4-SAA4-c(RGDfK) provided faster clearance from tumor and normal tissues yet maintained excellent tumor-to-background ratios. Static PET scans at later time-points corroborated the enhanced excretion of the tracer, especially from abdominal organs. Ex vivo biodistribution and receptor blocking studies confirmed the accuracy of the PET data and the integrin αvβ3-specificity of the peptides.
conclusionOur two novel RGD-based radiotracers with optimized pharmacokinetic properties allowed fast, high-contrast PET imaging of tumor-associated integrin αvβ3. These tracers may facilitate the imaging of abdominal malignancies, normally precluded by high background uptake.
