Brief summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of 18F-Pentixafor PET imaging in the diagnosis, staging and response evaluation of hematological malignancies.

Detailed description

18F-FDG PET imaging based on the principle of glucose metabolism imaging is currently dominant in the staging and efficacy evaluation of lymphoma, but it is not suitable for a wider range of hematological tumors. Chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR-4) is a G protein-coupled receptor, which is overexpressed in a variety of hematological malignancies (MM, leukemia, lymphoma, etc.). It promotes tumor growth, invasion, metastasis, drug resistance, immune escape, and is associated with poor prognosis of tumors. 18Fluorine18 (18F)-NOTA-Pentixafor (18f-pentixafor) is a novel specific molecular probe targeting CXCR-4. Compared with 68Ga-Pentixafor, 18f-pentixafor has a longer half-life. More patients can be used in one synthesis, and the image quality is better and the spatial resolution is higher. Patients can undergo PET at 1 h after injection without special preparation. The aim of this study is to evaluate the performance of 18F-Pentixafor PET imaging in the diagnosis, staging, and response evaluation of hematological malignancies. Patients with suspected or histologically confirmed hematological malignancies will be enrolled in this study.

Interventions

DRUG18F-Pentixafor

Patients with hematological malignancies receive 55 MBq/kg of 18F-Pentixafor intravenously followed by PET/CT or PET/MR after 60min of injection.

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Diagnostic efficacythrough study completion, an average of 1.5 yearSensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value of 18F-Pentixafor PET/CT and PET/MR Imaging in hematological malignancies.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
18F-Pentixafor PET performence compared with 18F-FDGup to 24 monthsDifferences in sensitivity and specificity: McNemar test Differences in AUC values: DeLong test Detection rate of lesions: chi-square test. SUVmax/TBR difference: Paired t-test (normal distribution) or Wilcoxon signed-rank test (non-normal) Correlation analysis: Spearman's rank correlation was used to assess the correlation of uptake between the two imaging methods. Subgroup analysis: Chi-square test or Logistic regression was used to analyze heterogeneity in diagnostic power stratified by disease type and stage.
Deauville Scorethrough study completion, 3-4 years1. Score consistency analysis Agreement with 18F-FDG: Calculated agreement between the two imaging scores for the same patient (percentage agreement & Cohen's Kappa). 2. correlation between scores and clinical outcomes Prediction of treatment response: use the International Working Group criteria (Lugano classification) as the gold standard (complete response CR, partial response PR, etc.) The association between 18F-Pentixafor scores (e.g., DS≤3 vs. DS≥4 after treatment) and treatment response (chi-square test) was calculated. Prognostic Value: Analyze the association of 18F-Pentixafor score (e.g., baseline DS≥4) with progression-free survival (PFS) or overall survival (OS) (Cox proportional-hazards model). The prognostic efficacy of 18F-Pentixafor and 18F-FDG scoring was compared (area under the ROC curve, AUC). 3. score critical value optimization:If the physiological profiles of 18F-Pentixafor and 18F-FDG differ significantly (e.g., higher hepatic uptake), explore adjusted cutoffs
