Background: Radioligand therapy (RLT) targeting prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is an effective antitumor-treatment in metastatic castration-resistant prostate carcinoma (mCRPC). Concerns of potential nephrotoxicity are based on renal tubular PSMA expression and the resulting radiopharmaceutical retention during RLT, but data confirming clinically significant toxicity still lacking. In this study, patients with significantly impaired baseline kidney function before initiation were...

Abstract Candidates for prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeted radioligand therapy (RLT) of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) frequently have “mismatch” lesions with pronounced 18-fluorodeoxyglucose ([ 18 F]FDG) but attenuated PSMA ligand uptake on positron emission tomography (PET). However, no quantitative criteria yet exist to identify mismatch and predict their response RLT. To define such criteria, we retrospectively analyzed 267 randomly-selected...

Despite the promising results of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeted radioligand therapy (RLT) in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), some patients show worsening disease during PSMA-RLT. We investigated value combined [18F]FDG and [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET imaging this setting. In n = 29 mCRPC with after a median four cycles [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 RLT, was performed to detect [18F]FDG-avid lesions low or no PSMA expression (mismatch lesions). To evaluate...

Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeted PET/CT has become increasingly important in the management of prostate cancer, especially localization biochemical recurrence (BCR). PSMA-targeted imaging with long-lived radionuclides as 89Zr (T1/2 = 78.4 h) may improve diagnostics by allowing data acquisition on later time points. In this study, we present our first clinical experience including preliminary biodistribution and dosimetry [89Zr]Zr-PSMA-617 patients BCR cancer.Seven cancer...

We present a case of 69-year-old woman with metastasized small bowel NET G2 initially treated somatostatin analogs (SSA). Disease progression was observed under SSA, and poor tracer uptake on [ 68 Ga]Ga-DOTATOC PET/CT precluded peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT). Subsequently, evaluation Ga]Ga-NODAGA-LM3 performed, which showed markedly better treatment-sufficient uptake, enabling initiation PRRT 177 Lu]Lu-DOTA-LM3. After 4 cycles, positive response observed. This interesting...

We present a 67-year-old man with inoperable metastatic G3 NET of the pancreas. The lesions were intensely positive in [ 68 Ga]Ga-DOTATOC PET/CT and only weakly supplementary 18 F]-FDG PET/CT. Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) 177 Lu]Lu-DOTA-octreotate, after longstanding efficacy repetitive retreatments over 7 years, eventually resulted disease stabilization without partial regression lesions. After switching PRRT to somatostatin antagonist Lu]Lu-DOTA-LM3, marked response was...

In recent years, radiolabeled tracers targeting prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) have had a tremendous impact on prostate cancer management. Here, we report the formation of radioactive impurities formed during clinical production 177Lu-labeled PSMA-617. We provide compelling evidence that these are result spontaneous, thermally mediated condensation reaction Glu-CO-Lys moiety resulting in three different five-membered ring systems.

Abstract Background PSMA-targeted radioligand therapy (PSMA-RLT) yielded impressive results in the metastasized castration-resistant prostate carcinoma (mCRPC) setting. High expression of PSMA is essential for successful PSMA-RLT. However, some patients develop [ 18 F]FDG-avid lesions with low or no ([ F]FDG/[ 68 Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 mismatch findings on PET/CT) course treatment. Those are not affected by PSMA-RLT and a change management needed. To enable early detection, possible blood parameters...
