The objective of this study is to present the complete biomarker response dataset from a pivotal trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of high-specific-activity I-131 meta-iodobenzylguanidine in patients with advanced pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma. Biomarker status was assessed and post-treatment responses were analyzed for catecholamines, metanephrines, and serum chromogranin A. Complete biomarker response (normalization) or partial response, defined as at least 50% reduction from baseline if above the normal range, was evaluated at specified time points over a 12-month period.

PSMA antibody-drug conjugate (PSMA ADC) is a fully human immunoglobulin G1 anti-PSMA monoclonal antibody conjugated to monomethylauristatin E, which binds to PSMA-positive cells and induces cytotoxicity. In a phase 1 study, PSMA ADC was well tolerated and demonstrated activity as measured by reductions in serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and circulating tumor cells (CTCs).

PSMA antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) is a fully human IgG1 monoclonal antibody conjugated to the microtubule disrupting agent monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE), which is designed to specifically bind PSMA-positive cells, internalize, and then release its cytotoxic payload into the cells. PSMA ADC has demonstrated potent and selective antitumor activity in preclinical models of advanced prostate cancer.

This multicenter, phase 2 trial evaluated the efficacy and safety of high-specific-activity I-meta-iodobenzylguanidine (HSA I-MIBG) in patients with advanced PPGL. In this open-label, single-arm study, 81 PPGL patients were screened for enrollment, and 74 received a treatment-planning dose of HSA I-MIBG.
