Ga-satoreotide trizoxetan is a novel somatostatin receptor antagonist associated with high sensitivity and reproducibility in neuroendocrine tumor (NET) detection and localization. However, the optimal peptide mass and radioactivity ranges for Ga-satoreotide trizoxetan have not yet been established. We therefore aimed to determine its optimal dosing regimen in patients with metastatic gastroenteropancreatic NETs in a prospective, randomized, 2 × 3 factorial, multicenter phase II study.

Introduction: The impact of prior therapies, especially chemotherapy, on overall survival (OS) in patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) receiving [Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 therapy has been the subject of controversy. Therefore, WARMTH decided to plan a multicenter retrospective analysis (the "617 trial") to evaluate response rate and OS as well as the impact of prior therapies on OS in more than 300 patients treated with Lu-PSMA-617.
Materials And Methods: The data of 631 metastatic CRPC (mCRPC) patients from 11 different clinics were evaluated.

Methods: On the basis of PSMA-targeted Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT, 32 consecutive mCRPC patients were selected for Lu-PSMA-617 therapy (6 GBq/cycle, 2 to 6 cycles, 6-10 weeks apart) and followed until death. Post-therapy whole-body (WB) dosimetry and Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT data were compared and related to progression free and overall survival.
Purpose: As radionuclide therapy is gaining importance in palliative treatment of patients suffering from neuroendocrine tumour (NET) as well as castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), the radiation protection of patients, staff, family members and the general public is of increasing interest. Here, we determine patient discharge dates according to European guidelines.
Methods: In 40 patients with NET and 25 patients with CRPC organ and tumour doses based on the MIRD concept were calculated from data obtained during the first therapy cycle.
Purpose: PET/CT using Ga-labelled prostate-specific membrane antigen PSMA-11 (HBEDD-CC) has emerged as a promising imaging method in the diagnostic evaluation of prostate cancer (PC) patients with biochemical recurrence. However, assessment of local recurrence (LR) may be limited by intense physiologic tracer accumulation in the urinary bladder on whole-body scans, normally conducted 60 min post-tracer injection (p.i.

Purpose: Prostate cancer (PC) cells typically show increased expression of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), which can be visualized by Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT. The aim of this study was to assess the intensity of Ga-PSMA-11 uptake in the primary tumour and metastases in patients with biopsy-proven PC prior to therapy, and to determine whether a correlation exists between the primary tumour-related Ga-PSMA-11 accumulation and the Gleason score (GS) or prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level.
Methods: Ninety patients with transrectal ultrasound biopsy-proven PC (GS 6-10; median PSA: 9.
