Dosimetry study reports favorable tumor-to-organ ratios for Tb-PSMA-617
A registry study (NCT04833517) assessed organ and tumor dosimetry in 15 patients with metastasized castration-resistant prostate cancer treated with [Tb]Tb-PSMA-617 radioligand therapy over a median of 2 cycles. The study reported mean absorbed doses of 0.70 Gy/GBq to kidneys, 0.40 Gy/GBq to parotid glands, 0.36 Gy/GBq to submandibular glands, and 0.13 Gy/GBq to liver, compared with a mean tumor dose of 5.95 Gy/GBq across 43 lesions, yielding tumor-to-kidney and tumor-to-parotid ratios of 10.55 and 16.15 respectively. The authors concluded that Tb-161 delivers high tumor-absorbed doses with tolerable doses to organs at risk, supporting its potential as a radionuclide for PSMA-targeted therapy.
Most relevant for: Patients with metastasized castration-resistant prostate cancer being considered for PSMA-targeted radioligand therapy.
