PSMAddition, the Integration of Lutetium-177 With the Standard of Care Therapy in Metastatic Castrate-Sensitive Prostate Cancer Patients – Scott Tagawa & Oliver Sartor

Details
In this conversation, Scott Tagawa and Oliver Sartor join Charles Ryan in a discussion on the PSMAddition clinical trial that integrates lutetium-177 with standard-of-care therapy in metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC). The trial aims to determine the efficacy and safety of lutetium-177 administered earlier in the disease course. They believe that using lutetium-177 upfront wil...

The VISION Trial Demonstrates 177Lu-PSMA-617 Significantly Improves Overall Survival and rPFS in mCRPC – Oliver Sartor

Details
Oliver Sartor, MD, the CO-PI on the VISION Trial joins Alicia Morgans, MD, MPH in a conversation on the practice-changing VISION Trial results presented at the 2021 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting. 177Lu-PSMA-617 is a targeted radioligand therapy that delivers ß-particle radiation to PSMA-expressing cells and the surrounding microenvironment. The VISION study was an int...

Details
In this UroToday Journal Club, Christopher Wallis and Zachary Klaassen highlight a systematic review and meta-analysis examining the effectiveness and toxicities of lutetium-177-labeled prostate-specific membrane antigen-targeted radioligand therapy in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, an article published in European Urology. Drs. Wallis and Klaassen detail the analysis, objective,...

177 Lu-PSMA-617 Offers a Promising Treatment for Men with Progressing mCRPC. - Declan Murphy & Michael Hofman

Details
The treatment of patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) has mostly involved androgen receptor-targeted therapies (ARTTs) and cytotoxic chemotherapy for over a decade. Lutetium-177 [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 is a radiolabelled small molecule that delivers β radiation to cells expressing prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), with activity and safety in patients with metas...
