    Abstract Background: Recently it has been identified a short peptide that showed allosteric antagonism against C-C motif chemokine receptor 2 (CCR2) expressed on inflammatory monocyte and macrophages. A 7-D-amino acid peptidic CCR2 inhibitor called extracellular loop 1 inverso (ECL1i), d(LGTFLKC) has been identified and labeled to obtain a new probe for positron emission tomography in pulmonary fibrosis, heart injury, abdominal aortic aneurysm inflammation, atherosclerosis, head and neck cancer. Our goal was to develop, optimize and validate an automated synthesis method for [68Ga]68Ga-DOTA-ECL1i to make it available for a broader community. The synthesis of [68Ga]68Ga-DOTA-ECL1i was done using the Scintomics GRP
    Results: Best results were yielded with 20 μg DOTA-ECL1i and then the process validation was carried out by producing three different batches on three different days obtaining an optimal radiochemical yield (66.69%) as well as radiochemical purity (100%) and molar activity (45.41 GBq/µmol).
    Conclusions: [68Ga]68Ga-DOTA-ECL1i was successfully synthesized and it is, thus, available for multi-dose application in clinical settings.

Our goal was to develop, optimize and validate an automated synthesis method for [68Ga]68Ga-DOTA-ECL1i to make it available for a broader community. The synthesis of [68Ga]68Ga-DOTA-ECL1i was done using the Scintomics GRP® module with the already estabilished synthesis template for [68Ga]68Ga-DOTATOC/[68Ga]68Ga-PSMA. The radiopharmaceutical production was optimized scaling down the amount of DOTA-ECL1i (from 50 to 10 μg), evaluating synthesis efficiency and relevant quality control parameters in accordance with the European Pharmacopeia. Results Best results were yielded with 20 μg DOTA-ECL1i and then the process validation was carried out by producing three different batches on three different days obtaining an optimal radiochemical yield (66.69%) as well as radiochemical purity (100%) and molar activity (45.41 GBq/µmol). Conclusions [68Ga]68Ga-DOTA-ECL1i was successfully synthesized and it is, thus, available for multi-dose application in clinical settings.

    Abstract Purpose of the study: Ga-68-DOTA-peptides targeting somatostatin receptors have been assessed as a valuable tool in neuroendocrine tumors imaging using positron emission tomography (PET). A new selective and sensitive high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was developed for determining chemical and radiochemical purity of Ga-68-DOTATATE (PET) tracer. The identification of peaks was achieved on a symmetry C18 column 3 μm 120Å (3.0 mm × 150 mm spherical particles) using (A) water + 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) and (B) acetonitrile + 0.1% TFA, as the mobile phases at a flow rate of 0.600 mL/min and monitored at 220 nm. The run time was 16 min.
    Materials and methods: The method was validated to fulfill International Conference on Harmonization requirements and EDQM guidelines, and it included specificity, linearity, limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantification (LOQ), accuracy, and precision.
    Results: The calibration curve was linear over the concentration range from 0.5 to 3 μg/ml, with a correlation coefficient (r2) equal to 0.999, average coefficient of variation (CV%) 2%, and average bias% did not deviate more than 5% for all concentrations. The LOD and LOQ for DOTATATE were 0.5 and 0.1 μg/mL, respectively. The method was considered precise, obtaining coefficients of variation between 0.22% and 0.52% for intraday and 0.20% and 0.61% for interday precision. Accuracy of method was confirmed with average bias% that did not deviate more than 5% for all concentrations.
    Conclusion: All results were acceptable and this confirmed that the method is suitable for its intended use in routine quality control of Ga-68-DOTATATE to guarantee the high quality of the finished product before release.

    Abstract Background: Nowadays, in Nuclear Medicine, clinically applied radiopharmaceuticals must meet quality release criteria such as high radiochemical purity and radiochemical yield. Many radiopharmaceuticals do not have marketing authorization and have no dedicated monograph within European Pharmacopeia (Ph. Eur.); therefore, general monographs on quality controls (QCs) have to be applied for clinical application. These criteria require standardization and validation in labeling and preparation, including quality controls measurements, according to well defined standard operation procedures. However, QC measurements are often based on detection techniques that are specific to a certain chromatographic system. Several radiosyntheses of [68Ga]Ga-radiopharmaceuticals are more efficient and robust when they are performed with 2-[4-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazin-1-yl] ethanesulfonic acid (HEPES) buffer, which is considered as an impurity to be assessed in the QC procedure, prior to clinical use. Thus, Ph. Eur. has introduced a thin-layer chromatography (TLC) method to quantify the HEPES amount that is present in [68Ga]Ga-radiopharmaceuticals. However, this is only qualitative and has proven to be unreliable. Here we develop and validate a new high-performance liquid chromatography (UV-Radio-HPLC) method to quantify the residual amount of HEPES in 68Ga-based radiopharmaceuticals. Method: To validate the proposed UV-Radio-HPLC method, a stepwise approach was used, as defined in the guidance document that was adopted by the European Medicines Agency (CMP/ICH/381/95 2014). The assessed parameters are specificity, linearity, precision (repeatability), accuracy, and limit of quantification. A range of concentrations of HEPES (100, 80, 60, 40, 20, 10, 5, 3 μg/mL) were analyzed. Moreover, to test the validity and pertinence of our new HPLC method, we analyzed samples of [68Ga]Ga-DOTATOC; [68Ga]Ga-PSMA; [68Ga]Ga-DOTATATE; [68Ga]Ga-Pentixafor; and [68Ga]Ga-NODAGA-Exendin-4 from different batches that were prepared for clinical use. Results: In the assessed samples, HEPES could not be detected by the TLC method that was described in Ph. Eur. within 4 min incubation in an iodine-saturated chamber. Our developed HPLC method showed excellent linearity between 3 and 100 μg/mL for HEPES, with a correlation coefficient (R2) for calibration curves that was equal to 0.999, coefficients of variation (CV%) < 2%, and percent deviation value of bias from 100% to 5%, in accordance with acceptance criteria. The intra-day and inter-day precision of our method was statistically confirmed and the limit-of-quantification (LOQ) was 3 μg/mL, confirming the high sensitivity of the method. The amount of HEPES that was detected with our developed HPLC method in the tested [68Ga]Ga-radiopharmaceuticals resulted well below the Ph. Eur. limit, especially for [68Ga]Ga-NODAGA-Exendin-4. Conclusions: The TLC method that is described in Ph. Eur. to assess residual HEPES in [68Ga]-based radiopharmaceuticals may not be sufficiently sensitive and thus unsuitable for QC release. Our new HPLC method was sensitive, quantitative, reproducible, and rapid for QCs, allowing us to exactly determine the residual HEPES amount in [68Ga]Ga-radiopharmaceuticals for safe patient administration.

    Abstract Background: The association between amyloid deposition and cognitive, behavioral and physical performance in mild cognitive impairment (MCI) due to Alzheimer's disease (AD) has been poorly investigated, especially in older persons.
    Methods: We studied the in vivo correlation between the amyloid deposition at Positron Emission Tomography (amyloid-PET) and the presence of memory loss, reduced executive function, neuropsychiatric symptoms and physical performance in older persons with MCI. Amyloid-PET was performed with 18F-flutemetamol and quantitatively analyzed.
    Results: We evaluated 48 subjects, 21 men and 27 women. We performed in each patient a comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) including Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), Clock Drawing Test (CDT), Activity Daily Living (ADL), Instrumental Activity of Daily Living (IADL), Neuropsychiatric inventory (NPI) questionnaire, 15 Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) and Hand Grip strength. Then, each patient underwent amyloid-PET. Mean age of the enrolled subjects was 74.6 ± 7.8 years. All of these subjects showed preserved cognitive function at MMSE > 24, while 29 of 48 subjects (61.0%) had altered CDT. Mean NPI score was 6.9 ± 5.9. The mean value of SPPB score was 9.0 ± 2.6, while the average muscle strength of the upper extremities measured by hand grip was 25.6 ± 7.7 Kg. CT/MRI images showed cortical atrophic changes in 26 of the 48 examined subjects (54.0%), while cerebrovascular modifications were present in 31 subjects (64.5%). Pathological burden of amyloid deposits was detected in 25 of 48 (52.0%) patients with a mean value of global z-score of 2.8 (subjects defined as MCI due to AD). After stratifying subjects in subclasses of clinical alterations, more probability of pathological amyloid deposition was found in subjects with impaired CDT and higher NPI score (O.R. = 3.45 [1.01-11.2], p = 0.04), with both impaired CDT and low physical performance (O.R. = 5.80 [1.04-32.2], p = 0.04), with altered CDT and high NPI score (O.R. = 7.98 [1.38-46.0], p = 0.02), and finally in those subjects with altered CDT, high NPI and low physical performance (O.R. = 5.80 [1.05-32.2], p = 0.04).
    Conclusion: Our findings support the recent hypothesis that amyloid deposition could be associated with multiple cerebral dysfunction, mainly affecting executive, behavioral and motor abilities.

    Abstract Purpose of the study: Gallium (Ga)-68-DOTA peptides targeting somatostatin receptors have been assessed as a valuable tool in neuroendocrine tumor imaging using positron emission tomography. However, at the moment, a specific monograph in the European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur.) does exist only for Ga-68-edotreotide (DOTATOC) injection. Here, we report on the validation process of Ga-68-DOTA-Tyr3-octreotate (DOTATATE) cassette-based production and quality control (QC).
    Materials and methods: Preparation of Ga-68-DOTATATE was performed according to the current European Union-good manufacturing practices, the current good radiopharmacy practice, the Ph. Eur., and the guidelines on validation of analytical methods for radiopharmaceuticals. Process was validated via three consecutive production runs to ensure that the methods are reproducible and reliable in routine use. The QC tests for Ga-68-DOTATATE were radiochemical purity (RCP - high-pressure liquid chromatography [HPLC]), radiochemical impurities
    Results: Radiolabeling procedure of Ga-68-DOTATATE fits all the applicable Ph. Eur. specifications. RCP measured via ITLC was >99% in the three validation batches. HPLC-measured RCP resulted 99.45%, 99.78%, and 99.75%. Germanium-breakthrough was far below the recommended level established in the Ph. Eur. Ga-68-DOTATOC injection (#2482). Residual ethanol tested with GC was less than 10%. All the batches were tested for endotoxin content, which always resulted lower than 17.5 EU/ml. All preparations passed the sterility tests. pH of the final product was 7 in all samples.
    Conclusion: Ga-68-DOTATATE fulfilled all the pre-set QCs and release criteria in the batches considered for this validation study. The results demonstrated a batch-to-batch reproducibility, ensuring that synthesis process leads to the expected final product in terms of yield, quality, reliability, safety, and efficacy.

    Abstract Background: Chemokine receptor-4 (CXCR4) is involved in tumor growth and progression in several types of human cancer. Recently, [68Ga]-DOTA-Pentixafor has been assessed as an excellent imaging probe targeting CXCR4-expression using positron emission tomography (PET). Here we report on the entire production cycle of [68Ga]-DOTA-Pentixafor, including quality control development and process validation.
    Methods: Synthesis of [68Ga]-DOTA-Pentixafor was validated via three independent and consecutive production runs using an automated synthesis system. All validation runs must pass the pre-set quality control (QC) limits. Validation was performed for established QC tests to ensure that methods were reproducible and reliable in routine use. Germanium-68 breakthrough was determined for each sample. Production yield was calculated for each synthesis to assess the performance and efficiency of the radiolabeling process. The quality of the final product was determined by ITLC and HPLC methods after each synthesis.
    Results: The average ITLC-measured radiochemical purity was above 98.5% and HPLC-measured radiochemical purity was 99.86%, 99,83% and 100% in the three validation runs. Germanium breakthrough was 4.8*10-5%, 4.9*10-5% and 4.7*10-5% of total activity, far below the recommended level of 0.001%. Residual ethanol resulted 5.22%, 5.58% and 5.32%V/V; spot of HEPES impurity was not more intense than spot of reference solution (200µg/V). Endotoxin level resulted <17.5EU/ml. pH of the final product was 7 in all samples.
    Conclusion: [68Ga]-DOTA-Pentixafor fit requirements of the pre-set quality parameters of purity, efficacy and safety in the batches considered for this study  and fulfilled all the acceptance criteria for injectable radiopharmaceutical products. The results demonstrated a batch-to-batch reproducibility providing high radiochemical purity.

    Abstract In oligo-metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC), neither computed tomography (CT) nor bone scan is sensitive enough to detect small tumor deposits hampering early treatment and potential cure. Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is a transmembrane glycoprotein expressed in the neo-vasculature of numerous malignant neoplasms, including RCC, that can be targeted by positron emission tomography (PET) using PSMA-targeting radioligands. Our aim was to investigate whether PSMA-expression patterns of renal cancer in the primary tumor or metastatic lesions on immunohistochemistry (IHC) are associated with PET/CT findings using [
