International audience. Rationale: Glioblastoma (GBM) poses significant challenges regarding complete tumor removal due to its heterogeneity and invasiveness, emphasizing the need for effective therapeutic options. In the last two decades, fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS), employing fluorophores such as 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) to enhance tumor delineation, has gained attraction among neurosurgeons. However, some low-grade tumors do not show any accumulation of the tracers, and the lack of patient stratification represents an important limitation. Since 2000, endothelin axis has been extensively investigated for its role in cancer progression. More specifically, our team has identified endothelin A receptors (ETA), overexpressed in glioblastoma cancer stem cells, as a target of interest for GBM imaging. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of a novel preclinical bimodal imaging agent, [ 89 Zr]Zr-axiRA63-MOMIP, as a theranostic approach to: i) detect ETA + cells in an orthotopic model of human GBM, ii) achieve complete tumoral resection. Methods: Monomolecular multimodal imaging platform (MOMIP) -containing both a fluorophore (IRDye800CW) and a chelator for a positron-emitting radiometal (desferroxamine B, DFO) -was conjugated to the axiRA63 antibody targeting ETA receptors, overexpressed on the surface of GBM stem cells. Mice bearing orthotopic human GBM were imaged 48 h post injection of [ 89 Zr]Zr-axiRA63-MOMIP via positron emission tomography (PET) and optical imaging. Subsequently, post-mortem proof-of-concept FGS was implemented as well as ex vivo analyses (H&E staining, autoradiography, serial block face imaging) on brains with resected or unresected tumor to assess the correlation between PET and fluorescence signals. Results: PET imaging of [ 89 Zr]Zr-axiRA63-MOMIP enabled a clear detection of ETA + cells in an orthotopic model of human GBM. Intraoperative optical imaging allowed a near-complete tumor Ivyspring International Publisher
