Abstract | UNLABELLED: METHODS: RESULTS:
(89)Zr-bevacizumab PET scans visualized 125 evaluable tumor lesions in 22 patients, with a median SUV(max) (maximum standardized uptake value) of 6.9 (range, 2.3-46.9). Bevacizumab/ interferon-α induced a mean change in tumor SUV(max) of -47.0% (range, -84.7 to +20.0%; P < 0.0001) at 2 wk and an additional -9.7% (range, -44.8 to +38.9%; P = 0.015) at 6 wk. In the sunitinib group, the mean change in tumor SUV(max) was -14.3% at 2 wk (range, -80.4 to +269.9; P = 0.006), but at 6 wk the mean change in tumor SUV(max) was +72.6% (range, -46.4 to +236%; P < 0.0001) above baseline. SUV(max) was not related to plasma VEGF-A at all scan moments. A baseline mean tumor SUV(max) greater than 10.0 in the 3 most intense lesions corresponded with longer time to disease progression (89.7 vs. 23.0 wk; hazard ratio, 0.22; 95% confidence interval, 0.05-1.00). CONCLUSION:
Tumor uptake of (89)Zr-bevacizumab is high in mRCC, with remarkable interpatient and intrapatient heterogeneity. Bevacizumab/ interferon-α strongly decreases tumor uptake whereas sunitinib results in a modest reduction with an overshoot after 2 drug-free weeks. High baseline tumor SUV(max) was associated with longer time to progression.
