RESUMO

The vascular disrupting agent crolibulin binds to the colchicine binding site and produces anti-vascular and apoptotic effects. In a multisite phase 1 clinical study of crolibulin (NCT00423410), we measured treatment-induced changes in tumor perfusion and water diffusivity (ADC) using dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) and diffusion-weighted MRI (DW-MRI), and computed correlates of crolibulin pharmacokinetics. 11 subjects with advanced solid tumors were imaged by MRI at baseline and 2-3 days post-crolibulin (13-24 mg/m2). ADC maps were computed from DW-MRI. Pre-contrast T1 maps were computed, co-registered with the DCE-MRI series, and maps of area-under-the-gadolinium-concentration-curve-at-90 s (AUC90s) and the Extended Tofts Model parameters ktrans, ve, and vp were calculated. There was a strong correlation between higher plasma drug [Formula: see text] and a linear combination of (1) reduction in tumor fraction with [Formula: see text] mM s, and, (2) increase in tumor fraction with [Formula: see text]. A higher plasma drug AUC was correlated with a linear combination of (1) increase in tumor fraction with [Formula: see text], and, (2) increase in tumor fraction with [Formula: see text]. These findings are suggestive of cell swelling and decreased tumor perfusion 2-3 days post-treatment with crolibulin. The multivariable linear regression models reported here can inform crolibulin dosing in future clinical studies of crolibulin combined with cytotoxic or immune-oncology agents.

RESUMO

Background: Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) has emerged as a non-invasive modality to diagnose and monitor prostate cancer. Quantitative metrics on the regions of abnormality have shown to be useful descriptors to discriminate clinically significant cancers. In this study, we evaluate the reproducibility of quantitative imaging features using repeated mpMRI on the same patients. Methods: We retrospectively obtained the deidentified records of patients, who underwent two mpMRI scans within 2 weeks of the first baseline scan. The patient records were obtained as deidentified data (including imaging), obtained through the TCIA (The Cancer Imaging Archive) repository and analyzed in our institution with an institutional review board-approved Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act-compliant retrospective study protocol. Indicated biopsied regions were used as a marker for our study radiologists to delineate the regions of interest. We extracted 307 quantitative features in each mpMRI modality [T2-weighted MR sequence image (T2w) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) with b values of 0 and 1,400 mm/s2] across the two sequential scans. Concordance correlation coefficients (CCCs) were computed on the features extracted from sequential scans. Redundant features were removed by computing the coefficient of determination (R 2) among them and replaced with a feature that had the highest dynamic range within intercorrelated groups. Results: We have assessed the reproducibility of quantitative imaging features among sequential scans and found that habitat region characterization improves repeatability in ADC maps. There were 19 T2w features and two ADC features in radiologist drawn regions (native raw image), compared to 18 T2w and 15 ADC features in habitat regions (sphere), which were reproducible (CCC ≥0.65) and non-redundant (R 2 ≥ 0.99). We also found that z-transformation of the images prior to feature extraction reduced the number of reproducible features with no detrimental effect. Conclusion: We have shown that there are quantitative imaging features that are reproducible across sequential prostate mpMRI acquisition at a preset level of filters. We also found that a habitat approach improves feature repeatability in ADC. A validated set of reproducible image features in mpMRI will allow us to develop clinically useful disease risk stratification, enabling the possibility of using imaging as a surrogate to invasive biopsies.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To develop a prostate tumor habitat risk scoring (HRS) system based on multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) referenced to prostatectomy Gleason score (GS) for automatic delineation of gross tumor volumes. A workflow for integration of HRS into radiation therapy boost volume dose escalation was developed in the framework of a phase 2 randomized clinical trial (BLaStM). METHODS AND MATERIALS: An automated quantitative mpMRI-based 10-point pixel-by-pixel method was optimized to prostatectomy GSs and volumes using referenced dynamic contrast-enhanced and apparent diffusion coefficient sequences. The HRS contours were migrated to the planning computed tomography scan for boost volume generation. RESULTS: There were 51 regions of interest in 12 patients who underwent radical prostatectomy (26 with GS ≥7 and 25 with GS 6). The resultant heat maps showed inter- and intratumoral heterogeneity. The HRS6 level was significantly associated with radical prostatectomy regions of interest (slope 1.09, r = 0.767; P < .0001). For predicting the likelihood of cancer, GS ≥7 and GS ≥8 HRS6 area under the curve was 0.718, 0.802, and 0.897, respectively. HRS was superior to the Prostate Imaging, Reporting and Diagnosis System 4/5 classification, wherein the area under the curve was 0.62, 0.64, and 0.617, respectively (difference with HR6, P < .0001). HRS maps were created for the first 37 assessable patients on the BLaStM trial. There were an average of 1.38 habitat boost volumes per patient at a total boost volume average of 3.6 cm3. CONCLUSIONS: An automated quantitative mpMRI-based method was developed to objectively guide dose escalation to high-risk habitat volumes based on prostatectomy GS.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To build a framework for investigation of the associations between imaging, clinical target volumes (CTVs), and metabolic tumor volumes (MTVs) features for better understanding of the underlying information in the CTVs and dependencies between these volumes. High-throughput extraction of imaging and metabolomic quantitative features from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) results in tens of variables per patient. In radiation therapy of GBM the relevant metabolic tumor volumes (MTVs) are related to aberrant levels of N-acetyl aspartate (NAA) and choline (Cho). The corresponding clinical target volumes (CTVs) for radiation therapy are based on contrast-enhanced T1-weighted (CE-T1w) and T2-weighted (T2w)/fluid-attenuated inversion recovery MRI. METHODS AND MATERIALS: Necrotic portions, enhancing lesion, and edema were manually contoured on CE-T1w/T2w images for 17 GBM patients. Clinical target volumes and MTVs for NAA (MTVNAA) and Cho (MTVCho) were constructed. Imaging and metabolic features related to size, shape, and signal intensities of the volumes were extracted. Tumors were also scored categorically for 10 semantic imaging traits by a neuroradiologist. All features were investigated for redundancy. Two-way correlations between imaging and CTVs/MTVs features were visualized as heatmaps. Associations between MTVNAA and MTVCho and imaging features were studied using Spearman correlation. RESULTS: Forty-eight imaging features were extracted per patient. Half of the imaging traits were replaced with automatically extracted continuous variables. Twenty features were extracted from CTVs and MTVs. A series of semantic imaging traits were replaced with automatically extracted continuous variables. There were multiple (22) significant correlations of imaging measures with CTVs/MTVNAA, whereas there were only 6 with CTVs/MTVCho. CONCLUSIONS: A framework for investigation of codependencies between MRI and magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging radiomic features and CTVs/MTVs has been established. The MTV for NAA was found to be closely associated with MRI volumes, whereas very few imaging features were related to MTVCho, indicating that Cho provides additional information to imaging.
