Targeted radionuclide therapy (TRT) is an emerging therapeutic modality for the treatment of various solid cancers. Current approaches rely on the presence of cancer‐specific epitopes and receptors against which a radiolabeled ligand is systemically administered to specifically deliver cytotoxic doses ofαandβparticles to tumors. In this proof‐of‐concept study, tumor‐colonizingEscherichia coliNissle 1917 (EcN) is utilized to deliver a bacteria‐specific radiopharmaceutical to solid tumors in a cancer‐epitope independent manner. In this microbe‐based pretargeted approach, the siderophore‐mediated metal uptake pathway is leveraged to selectively concentrate copper radioisotopes,64Cu and67Cu, complexed to yersiniabactin (YbT) in the genetically modified bacteria.64Cu‐YbT facilitates positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of the intratumoral bacteria, whereas67Cu‐YbT delivers a cytotoxic dose to the surrounding cancer cells. PET imaging with64Cu‐YbT reveals persistence and sustained growth of the bioengineered microbes in the tumor microenvironment. Survival studies with67Cu‐YbT reveals significant attenuation of tumor growth and extends survival of both MC38 and 4T1 tumor‐bearing mice harboring the microbes. Tumor response to this pretargeted approach correlates with promising anti‐tumor immunity, with noticeable CD8+T:Tregcell ratio. Their strategy offers a pathway to target and ablate multiple solid tumors independent of their epitope and receptor phenotype.
