Abstract
Purpose
We aimed to assess the effect of concomitant medication, age, sex, body mass index and 18-kDa translocator protein (TSPO) binding affinity status on the metabolism and plasma pharmacokinetics of [18F]DPA-714 and their influence on the plasma input function in a large cohort of 201 subjects who underwent brain and whole-body PET imaging to investigate the role of neuroinflammation in neurological diseases.
Methods
The non-metabolized fraction of [18F]DPA-714 was estimated in venous plasma of 138 patients and 63 healthy controls (HCs; including additional arterial sampling in 16 subjects) during the 90 min brain PET acquisition using a direct solid-phase extraction method. The mean fraction between 70 and 90 min post-injection ([18F]DPA-71470–90) and corresponding normalized plasma concentration (SUV70-90) were correlated with all factors using a multiple linear regression model. Differences between groups (arterial vs venous measurements; HCs vs patients; high- (HAB), mixed- (MAB) and low-affinity binders (LAB); subjects with vs without co-medications, females vs males were also assessed using the non-parametric Mann–Whitney or Kruskal–Wallis ANOVA tests. Finally, the impact of co-medications on the brain uptake of [18F]DPA-714 at equilibrium was investigated.
Results
As no significant differences were observed between arterial and venous [18F]DPA-71470–90 and SUV70-90, venous plasma was used for correlations. [18F]DPA-71470–90 was not significantly different between patients and HCS (59.7 ± 12.3% vs 60.2 ± 12.9%) despite high interindividual variability. However, 47 subjects exhibiting a huge increase or decrease of [18F]DPA-71470–90 (up to 88% or down to 23%) and SUV70-90 values (2–threefold) were found to receive co-medications identified as inhibitors or inducers of CYP3A4, known to catalyse [18F]DPA-714 metabolism. Comparison between cortex-to-plasma ratios using individual input function (VTIND) or population-based input function derived from untreated HCs (VTPBIF) indicated that non-considering the individual metabolism rate led to a bias of about 30% in VT values. Multiple linear regression model analysis of subjects free of these co-medications suggested significant correlations between [18F]DPA-71470–90 and age, BMI and sex while TSPO polymorphism did not influence the metabolism of the radiotracer. [18F]DPA-714 metabolism fell with age and BMI and was significantly faster in females than in males. Whole-body PET/CT exhibited a high uptake of the tracer in TSPO-rich organs (heart wall, spleen, kidneys…) and those involved in metabolism and excretion pathways (liver, gallbladder) in HAB and MAB with a strong decrease in LAB (-89% and -85%) resulting in tracer accumulation in plasma (4.5 and 3.3-fold increase).
Conclusion
Any co-medication that inhibits or induces CYP3A4 as well as TSPO genetic status, age, BMI and sex mostly contribute to interindividual variations of the radiotracer metabolism and/or concentration that may affect the input function of [18F]DPA-714 and consequently its human brain and peripheral uptake.
