Dr. Staehler on novel PET imaging agent for kidney cancer

The phase 2/3 AlphaBreak trial is evaluating the safety and efficacy of FPI-2265 in patients with mCRPC who have been previously treated with 177Lu-PSMA radiotherapy.

"We're excited that the FDA approval of this radiotracer gives us yet more tools at our disposal to diagnose prostate cancer in all its forms, from early to late in the disease process," says David M. Schuster, MD, FACR.

A late phase 3 trial evaluating the agent is underway at several clinics in Europe.

The first patient was treated with TLX250-CDx at the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Wellness Centre at Austin Health in Melbourne, Australia,

Both the SOLAR-STAGE and SOLAR-RECUR trials are currently enrolling patients with prostate cancer in the US, with additional sites expected to open in Europe later this year.

"The advance of PSMA imaging has put an emphasis on multidisciplinary care," says Kenneth J. Pienta, MD.
