Abstract
- Background: Somatostatin-receptor (SSTR)-targeted PET/CT provides important clinical information in addition to standard imaging in meningioma patients. [<superscript>18</superscript>F]SiTATE is a novel, <superscript>18</superscript>F-labeled SSTR-targeting peptide with superior imaging properties according to preliminary data. We provide the first [<superscript>18</superscript>F]SiTATE PET/CT data of a large cohort of meningioma patients. Methods: Patients with known or suspected meningioma undergoing [<superscript>18</superscript>F]SiTATE PET/CT were included. Uptake intensity (SUV) of meningiomas, non-meningioma lesions, and healthy organs were assessed using a 50% isocontour volume of interest (VOI) or a spherical VOI, respectively. Also, trans-osseous extension on PET/CT was assessed. Results: A total of 107 patients with 117 [<superscript>18</superscript>F]SiTATE PET/CT scans were included. Overall, 231 meningioma lesions and 61 non-meningioma lesions (e.g., post-therapeutic changes) were analyzed. Physiological uptake was lowest in healthy brain tissue, followed by bone marrow, parotid, and pituitary (SUV<subscript>mean</subscript> 0.06 ± 0.04 vs. 1.4 ± 0.9 vs. 1.6 ± 1.0 vs. 9.8 ± 4.6; p < 0.001). Meningiomas showed significantly higher uptake than non-meningioma lesions (SUV<subscript>max</subscript> 11.6 ± 10.6 vs. 4.0 ± 3.3, p < 0.001). Meningiomas showed significantly higher uptake than non-meningioma lesions (SUVmax 11.6±10.6 vs. 4.0±3.3, p<0.001). 93/231 (40.3%) meningiomas showed partial trans-osseous extension and 34/231 (14.7%) predominant intra-osseous extension. 59/231 (25.6%) meningioma lesions found on PET/CT had not been reported on previous standard imaging. Conclusion: This is the first PET/CT study using an <superscript>18</superscript>F-labeled SSTR-ligand in meningioma patients: [<superscript>18</superscript>F]SiTATE provides extraordinary contrast in meningioma compared to healthy tissue and non-meningioma lesions, which leads to a high detection rate of so far unknown meningioma sites and osseous involvement. Having in mind the advantageous logistic features of <superscript>18</superscript>F-labeled compared to <superscript>68</superscript>Ga-labeled compounds (e.g., longer half-life and large-badge production), [<superscript>18</superscript>F]SiTATE has the potential to foster a widespread use of SSTR-targeted imaging in neuro-oncology.
