阿尔兹海默病仑卡奈单抗治疗后18F-AV45 PET/CT疗效评估1例及文献复习

18F-AV45 PET/CT evaluation of therapeutic efficacy after lecanemab treatment in Alzheimer's disease: a case report and literature review

  • 摘要: 阿尔茨海默病(AD)是一种以β-淀粉样蛋白(Aβ)沉积为重要病理特征的神经退行性疾病。抗Aβ单抗为该疾病修饰治疗提供了新手段,Aβ PET/CT显像在AD早期诊断、疗效评估及病情动态监测中具有重要临床意义。笔者报道了1例经抗Aβ单抗治疗的阿尔茨海默病(AD)患者,运用 18F-氟贝他吡(AV45)PET/CT显像,通过对比仑卡奈单抗治疗前、后脑组织内Aβ的影像变化,结合半定量分析参数标准摄取值比值(SUVR)、Centiloid(CL)值,以及临床认知功能相关量表如阿尔茨海默病评定量表认知分量表(ADAS-cog)、临床痴呆评定量表)评估疗效。本例患者示治疗后18F-AV45 PET/CT可直接观察患者脑组织内Aβ沉积明显减少(SUVR及CL值降低),而同期临床认知功能相关评分仅ADAS-cog有改善,为临床提供了一种疗效评价、病情监测等的无创性检查方法,同时通过文献复习,进一步加深理解Aβ PET/CT显像在AD诊断及治疗中的应用价值。

     

    Abstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by β-amyloid (Aβ) deposition as an important pathological feature. Anti-Aβ monoclonal antibodies have provided a new modality for disease-modifying therapy, and Aβ PET/CT imaging is of great clinical significance in the early diagnosis, therapeutic efficacy assessment, and dynamic monitoring of disease status in AD. The author reports a patient with AD treated with an anti Aβ monoclonal antibody, in whom 18F-flobetapir (AV45) PET/CT imaging was used to evaluate therapeutic efficacy by comparing the imaging changes in cerebral Aβ before and after lecanemab treatment, in combination with semiquantitative analysis parameters standardized uptake value ratio (SUVR) and Centiloid (CL) values and clinical cognitive function-related scales such as the Alzheimer's disease assessment scale-cognitive subscale (ADAS-cog) and the clinical dementia rating. In this case, post-treatment 18F-AV45 PET/CT directly showed a marked reduction in Aβ deposition in patient′s brain tissue (decreased SUVR and CL values), whereas among contemporaneous clinical cognitive function-related scores, only ADAS-cog improved, providing a noninvasive examination method for clinical efficacy evaluation and disease monitoring. Moreover, through a literature review, this case report further deepens the understanding of the application value of Aβ PET/CT in the diagnosis and treatment of AD.
