Abstract
Background: We aim to investigate the prognostic value of [68Ga]Ga-Pentixafor PET/CT in multiple myeloma (MM) patients.
Results: This is a retrospective analysis of a prospective cohort study. Twenty-five patients with treatment-naïve, newly diagnosed MM were included. All participants underwent [68Ga]Ga-Pentixafor PET/CT scans at baseline and after first-line chemotherapy. The endpoints included the time to progression (TTP) and the time to next treatment (TTNT). The correlation between PET/CT characteristics and survival was then analyzed. Patients with a decline in SUVmax of bone marrow of less than 40% from baseline demonstrated significantly shorter TTP and TTNT (estimated median TTP, 27.5 months [95% CI, 16.7-38.2] vs. not reached, P = 0.047; estimated median TTNT, 31.8 months [95% CI, 20.8-42.8] vs. not reached, P = 0.012). Patients with visually reduced splenic uptake in the follow-up [68Ga]Ga-Pentixafor PET/CT from baseline exhibited significantly shorter TTP and TTNT (estimated median TTP, 24.4 months [95% CI, 7.9-24.4] vs. not reached, P = 0.018; estimated median TTNT, 31.9 months [95% CI, 18.5-31.9] vs. not reached, P = 0.043). A 20% reduction in splenic SUVmax was identified as a predictive indicator for shorter TTP and TTNT (estimated median TTP, 24.4 months [95% CI, 14.5-24.4] vs. not reached, P = 0.025; estimated mean TTNT, 31.9 months [95% CI, 18.5-31.9] vs. not reached, P = 0.048). Patients with splenic SUVmax < 5.0 at follow-up also exhibited significantly shorter TTP and TTNT. However, the splenic SUVmax at baseline PET/CT was not predictive of TTP or TTNT (P > 0.05).
Conclusion: Reduced splenic uptake of [68Ga]Ga-Pentixafor following first-line chemotherapy was predictive for poor prognosis in patients with newly diagnosed MM, while baseline splenic uptake is not associated with prognosis.

期刊介绍:
EJNMMI Research publishes new basic, translational and clinical research in the field of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging. Regular features include original research articles, rapid communication of preliminary data on innovative research, interesting case reports, editorials, and letters to the editor. Educational articles on basic sciences, fundamental aspects and controversy related to pre-clinical and clinical research or ethical aspects of research are also welcome. Timely reviews provide updates on current applications, issues in imaging research and translational aspects of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging technologies.
The main emphasis is placed on the development of targeted imaging with radiopharmaceuticals within the broader context of molecular probes to enhance understanding and characterisation of the complex biological processes underlying disease and to develop, test and guide new treatment modalities, including radionuclide therapy.
