Published: September 2016

The radiosynthesis of [(18) F]DCFPyL on 2 distinct automated platforms with full regulatory compliant quality control specifications is described. The radiotracer synthesis was performed on a custom-made radiofluorination module and the Sofie Biosciences ELIXYS. The radiofluorination module synthesis was accomplished in an average of 66 minutes from end of bombardment with an average specific activity at end of synthesis (EOS) of 4.4 TBq/μmol (120 Ci/μmol) and an average radiochemical yield of 30.9% at EOS. The ELIXYS synthesis was completed in an average of 87 minutes with an average specific activity of 2.2 TBq/μmol (59.3 Ci/μmol) and an average radiochemical yield of 19% at EOS. Both synthesis modules produced large millicurie quantities of [(18) F]DCFPyL while conforming to all standard US Pharmacopeia Chapter <823> acceptance testing criteria.

Background: High-affinity radiohybrid PSMA-targeting radiopharmaceutical F-flotufolastat (F-rhPSMA-7.3) is newly approved for diagnostic imaging of prostate cancer. Here, we conduct a post hoc analysis of two phase 3 studies to quantify F-flotufolastat uptake in a range of normal organs.

Purpose: There are limited data on PSMA PET/CT for workup of recurrence after radical prostatectomy (RP) at low PSA values. We evaluated a PSMA PET/CT cohort of patients with post-RP, focusing on patients with PSA < 0.5 ng/mL.

Introduction: This study aimed to assess the detection rate of prostate cancer recurrence by prostate-specific member antigen positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PSMA PET/CT) with F-DCFPyL in patients with residual disease or biochemical recurrence (BCR), and its association with surgical pathology and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) kinetics.

Methods: Men from South Central Ontario enrolled in the PSMA Registry for Recurrent Prostate cancer (PREP) between April 2019 and December 2021 after radical prostatectomy (RP) and who had 1) pathologic stage N1 or persistent elevated PSA; or 2) BCR (PSA >0.10 ng/mL) where initial postoperative PSA was undetectable were included.

Purpose: To evaluate the diagnostic performance of PSMA PET/CT, including [Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 and [F]DCFPyL, in comparison with the [Tc]Tc-MDP bone scan (BS) in identifying bone metastases among prostate cancer patients.

Methods: A search was performed in the PubMed and Embase databases to locate pertinent publications from inception to February 12, 2024. The studies included were those that examined the diagnostic effectiveness of PSMA PET/CT (covering [Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 and [F]DCFPyL) compared to [Tc]Tc-MDP BS in identifying bone metastases among prostate cancer patients.
