PSMA-RLT

Isotope(s):
Target(s):
  • PSMA
Ligand Class: Small Molecules
Chelator: DOTA
Inclusion
  • Initiating treatment with Lutetium based PSMA-targeted RLT.
  • Participants must have a PSMA-avid lesion that is accessible to biopsy. Biopsy of newly emerging radiographic metastases is desired and preferable to the biopsy of previously existing lesions whenever possible. Newly emerging lesions are defined as those that are absent on a previous scan, or those demonstrating unequivocal progression since initiation of the last treatment. Biopsies will be performed according to local institutional standards.
Exclusion
  • Patients with significant congenital or acquired bleeding disorders (eg von Wildebrand's disease, acquired bleeding factor inhibitors).
