    Abstract: Intra-operative detection of residual cancer in the tumor bed can be used to decrease the risk of a positive surgical margin, reduce the rate of re-excision, and tailor adjuvant therapy. LUM015 is a pegylated protease-activated imaging agent containing a near infrared fluorophore and quencher attached by a polypeptide linker. Using mouse models of soft tissue sarcoma (STS), we showed that LUM015 selectively localizes to the tumor and upon cleavage of the linker by proteases in the tissue, the quencher is released, allowing fluorescence to be detected. We recently completed a phase I clinical trial to test the safety of LUM015 in human patients with cancer. This open-label nonrandomized trial compared 3 dose cohorts (0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 mg/kg) of LUM015 in order to determine a safe dose of LUM015 that labels tumors in humans. A total of 15 subjects, 12 with STS and 3 with breast cancer, received IV LUM015 prior to surgical resection without any adverse pharmacological activity (APA). Quantitative fluorescence imaging of the resected tissues revealed that tumor fluorescence was significantly higher than corresponding normal tissue from the same patient (p & lt;0.0001) with a mean tumor to normal fluorescence ratio of 5.4. Furthermore, within the study population, the distribution of tumor fluorescence values was significantly higher than those recorded for fat or muscle (p & lt;0.009). We conducted comparative analyses of LUM015 pharmacodynamics in mouse and human subjects showing that biodistribution into tumors and activation by proteases is conserved across species. These studies revealed the presence of a novel, small molecule metabolite that correlates strongly with tissue fluorescence. Additional in vivo studies in mice and in vitro studies with mouse and human tissues showed that LUM015 is selectively distributed to and accumulates in tumors to result in increased fluorescence when compared to normal tissues.

    Abstract: Therapeutic advances for osteosarcoma have stagnated over the past several decades, leading to an unmet clinical need for patients. The purpose of this study was to develop a novel therapy for osteosarcoma by reformulating and validating niclosamide, an established anthelminthic agent, as a niclosamide stearate prodrug therapeutic (NSPT). We sought to improve the low and inefficient clinical bioavailability of oral dosing, especially for the relatively hydrophobic classes of anticancer drugs. Nanoparticles were fabricated by rapid solvent shifting and verified using dynamic light scattering and UV-vis spectrophotometry. NSPT efficacy was then studied in vitro for cell viability, cell proliferation, and intracellular signaling by Western blot analysis; ex vivo pulmonary metastatic assay model; and in vivo pharmacokinetic and lung mouse metastatic model of osteosarcoma. NSPT formulation stabilizes niclosamide stearate against hydrolysis and delays enzymolysis; increases circulation in vivo with t1/2 approximately 5 hours; reduces cell viability and cell proliferation in human and canine osteosarcoma cells in vitro at 0.2–2 μmol/L IC50; inhibits recognized growth pathways and induces apoptosis at 20 μmol/L; eliminates metastatic lesions in the ex vivo lung metastatic model; and when injected intravenously at 50 mg/kg weekly, it prevents metastatic spread in the lungs in a mouse model of osteosarcoma over 30 days. In conclusion, niclosamide was optimized for preclinical drug delivery as a unique prodrug nanoparticle injected intravenously at 50 mg/kg (1.9 mmol/L). This increased bioavailability of niclosamide in the blood stream prevented metastatic disease in the mouse. This chemotherapeutic strategy is now ready for canine trials, and if successful, will be targeted for human trials in patients with osteosarcoma.

    Abstract: Limb-sparing surgery for extremity soft tissue sarcoma removes all cancer cells at the primary tumor site in the majority of patients. However, without radiation therapy, microscopic residual sarcoma cells left behind in the tumor bed will cause a tumor recurrence in approximately one-third of patients. Therefore, adjuvant radiation therapy is delivered to most patients, even when the tumor bed lacks residual cancer. Here, we present an imaging system for residual cancer assessment, consisting of a novel wide field-of-view imaging device and a protease-activated fluorescent probe. We demonstrate that this system directly images microscopic residual sarcoma cells in the tumor bed of mice when primary soft tissue sarcomas are resected. Moreover, this system can detect single tumor cells that have activated the fluorescent probe in vivo. This technology has the potential to be used as an intra-operative tool to identify microscopic residual disease for soft tissue sarcoma and other cancers with the goal of reducing rates of local recurrence, re-operation for positive margins, and adjuvant radiation therapy to tumor beds that lack residual cancer.
