Independent Medical Education Initiative Supported by Novartis/Adacap and Point Biopharma Biographies: Jeremie Calais, MD, MSc, Director, Clinical Research Pro...

Developing a Theranostics Program, The Nebraska Cancer Specialists Model - Samuel Mehr

Details
In a conversation hosted by Phillip Koo, Sam Mehr outlines the intricacies of establishing a theranostics program within a medical oncology practice. Dr. Mehr discusses the "NCS/Nebraska Cancer Specialists model," which aims to offer targeted nuclear therapy through a patient-centered approach. He emphasizes the importance of a multidisciplinary team, including a program director who serves as the...

Practical Application of 18F-DCFPyL-PET/CT in Patients with Biochemically Recurrent Prostate Cancer: The CONDOR Study - Michael Morris

Details
The CONDOR trial was one of two studies that supported the United States Federal Drug Administration (FDA) submission and subsequent approval of DCFPyL, an 18F radiolabeled PSMA directed PET tracer. The CONDOR trial focused specifically on the rising, the biochemically relapsed patient population, those who had surgery or radiation as their definitive primary therapy, biochemically relapsed, and t...

18F-DCFPyL PET/CT Imaging in Patients with Suspected Recurrence of Prostate Cancer (CONDOR) Journal Club - Christopher Wallis & Zachary Klaassen

Details
In this UroToday Journal Club, Christopher Wallis and Zachary Klaassen discuss the Clinical Cancer Research publication on the results from the CONDOR Phase 3, multicenter study. In particular, conventional imaging performs poorly when PSA levels are low, less than 2 ng/mL, and the use of novel PET radiotracers may address this issue and provide more sensitive imaging. CONDOR was a prospective stu...

PYLARIFY®, F 18-labeled PSMA Targeted PET Gains US FDA Approval - Michael Morris

Details
Michael Morris, MD joins Charles Ryan, MD in a discussion on the United States (US) FDA Approval of PYLARIFY®, an F 18-labeled prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) targeted positron emission tomography (PET) imaging agent. The F 18 tracer went through two qualifying clinical trials the CONDOR trial and then OSPREY trial. This is the first time a national commercial approval will render PSMA i...

The Impact on Patient Care and Clinical Outcomes Gallium 68 PSMA-11 in Suspected Prostate Cancer Metastasis - Jeremie Calais

Details
On December 1, 2020, the US Food and Drug Administration approved Gallium 68 PSMA-11 (Ga 68 PSMA-11) for use for patients with suspected prostate cancer metastasis in UCLA and UCSF. It is the first drug for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positive lesions in men with prostate cancer. In a follow-up conversation after speaking about the approv...

68Ga-PSMA-11 PET approved in Biochemical Recurrent Prostate Cancer - Jeremie Calais

Details
Jeremie Calais, MD, MSc, joins Phillip Koo, MD, FACS, to discuss the approval of Gallium 68 PSMA-11, the first agent for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positive lesions in men with prostate cancer. The safety and efficacy of Ga 68 PSMA-11 were evaluated in two prospective clinical trials, which lead to the United States Federal Drug Administ...

68Ga-PSMA-11 Joins FDA-Approved Tools for Management of Prostate Cancer - Thomas Hope

Details
68 Ga-PSMA-11, the first drug for PET imaging of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)–positive lesions in men with prostate cancer (PC), was FDA approved on December 1, 2020. The approval was granted to the University of California–San Francisco (UCSF) and UC–Los Angeles (UCLA). 68 Ga-PSMA-11 is indicated for suspected metastatic disease at the time of initial staging prior to definitive ther...

CONDOR: Study of 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT Imaging in Patients with Suspected Recurrence of Prostate Cancer - Michael J. Morris

Details
Michael Morris, Oliver Sartor, and Alicia Morgans discuss the CONDOR study, the second of two prospective clinical trials designed in collaboration with the FDA to demonstrate the diagnostic performance of PyL in patients with biochemically recurrent prostate cancer. Correct localization rate (CLR), or the positive predictive value of the PyL scan, was established as the primary endpoint and the C...
