Radioligand therapy (RLT) with (177)Lu-DKFZ-617 PSMA (Lu-PSMA) (prostate-specific membrane antigen) is a novel targeted of metastatic prostate cancer. We analysed retrospectively the early side effects and response rate in first patients, who received Lu-PSMA our departments.RLT was performed ten hormone- and/or chemo-refractory patients distant metastases progressive disease (mean age 73.5 years). (68)Ga-PSMA HBED-CC PET/CT all prior to RLT. The median PSA level 298.5 ng/ml (range 5-853...

Various trivalent radiometals are well suited for labeling of DOTA-conjugated variants Glu-ureido-based prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) inhibitors. The DOTA-conjugate PSMA-617 has proven high potential in PSMA radioligand therapy (PSMA-RLT) prostate cancer as PET imaging when labeled with lutetium-177 and gallium-68 respectively. Considering the relatively short physical half-life this positron emitter precludes prolonged acquisition periods, required pre-therapeutic dosimetry or...

Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is a proline selective serine protease that overexpressed in tumor stroma and lesions of many other diseases are characterized by tissue remodeling. In 2014, most potent FAP-inhibitor (referred to as UAMC1110) with low nanomolar FAP-affinity high selectivity toward related enzymes such prolyl oligopeptidase (PREP) the dipeptidyl-peptidases (DPPs): DPP4, DPP8/9 DPP2 were developed. This inhibitor has been adopted recently groups create radiopharmaceuticals...

Radioligand therapy with 177Lu-PSMA-617 is an innovative and effective for castrate-resistant metastatic prostate cancer patients. For patients symptomatic bone metastases without visceral metastases, the guidelines recommend radionuclide 223Ra-dichloride as a single therapeutic agent or in combination hormone therapy. The aim of this study was to evaluate safety repeated cycles after exposure more 223Ra. Forty-nine were treated three Lu-PSMA-617 divided into two groups subjected history...

Abstract Introduction PSMA-targeted radionuclide therapy with lutetium-177 has emerged as an effective treatment option for metastatic, castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Recently, the concept of modifying PSMA radioligands albumin-binding entity was demonstrated a promising measure to increase tumor uptake in preclinical experiments. The aim this study translate clinical setting and evaluate safety dosimetry [ 177 Lu]Lu-PSMA-ALB-56, novel radioligand properties. Methods Ten...

Typically, metal-based radiopharmaceuticals are synthesized in aqueous solutions with no or low ethanol content. Labeling yields defined by temperature, period of labeling, amount precursor, pH etc. As recently observed, radiolabeling (RCY) seem to increase the presence non-aqueous solvents. Consequently, this effect was investigated systematically using as solvent (n-as), which is widely utilized medicine, and DOTATOC model compound.To determine impact on efficacy, "standard" labeling...
