Purpose: The aim of this study was to optimize a radiolabeling method using cationic processed Ga-68 eluates from a SnO-based Ge/Ga generator, followed by the development of DOTA-Tyr-Thre-octreotide (DOTATATE) kits.
Procedures: Diluted generator eluates were adsorbed on a SCX resin and desorbed with acidified 5 M NaCl solution. Optimized labeling conditions were determined by variation of pH, using 35 μg DOTATATE and sodium acetate buffer. DOTATATE kits were developed based on optimized radiolabeling conditions, were labeled, and evaluated.
Results: Optimized labeling conditions resulted in a radiolabeling efficiency of around 99 % and radiochemical yield of almost 85 %. Different kit preparation methods did not significantly influence the radiolabeling results. Kits were found to be stable over 3 months.
Conclusion: A labeling method using SCX-processed Ga-68 eluates was optimized. DOTATATE kits specifically for these SCX-processed Ga-68 eluates were successfully formulated. A post-labeling Sep-Pak C18 purification should be optional.

Introduction: Increased demand for NetSpot and Illuccix as requirement to receive the respective Lutathera and Pluvicto radiotherapies, and monitor subsequent response to treatment, have reinforced the need to develop alternative ways of producing gallium-68 (Ga). Building on our efforts to produce Ga in a liquid target on a GE PETtrace, the goal of this work is to modify the current GE Gallium Chloride cassette using the FASTLab 2 synthesis module to produce [Ga]GaCl equivalent to a 1.85 GBq generator and demonstrate compatibility with FDA-approved kits for production of Ga-labeled radiopharmaceuticals.

Acceptable and reproducible radiochemical purity (RP) for Ga-DOTATATE was difficult to obtain with the NETSPOT kit because the manufacturer instructions lacked details on the heater or needles used. The drug was prepared in an International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 5 environment. Multiple dry baths and needle types were used to investigate the effects of reaction temperature and metal contamination, respectively.

GMP-grade Ge/Ga generators provide access to positron-emitting Ga, enabling preparation of Positron Emission Tomography (PET) tracers and PET imaging at sites that do not have access to cyclotron-produced radionuclides. Radiotracers based on tris(3-hydroxy-1,6-dimethylpyridin-4-one) (THP) chelators enable simple one-step preparations of Ga PET radiopharmaceuticals from pre-fabricated kits without pre-processing of generator eluate or post-purification. However, trace metal impurities eluted along with Ga could compete for THP and reduce radiochemical yields (RCY).

Background And Objective: Gallium-68 is a PET isotope available in each nuclear medicine departments, even those not equipped with a cyclotron, since it is easily obtained by eluting compact and transportable generator system. The preparation of Ga-68 DOTA-labeled compounds is performed by remotely controlled automated systems developed in order to ensure production efficiency, reproducibility of the results, fast reaction time, to facilitate the synthesis and minimize the radiation exposure. Many automatic synthesis systems are available on the radiopharmaceutical market, however, they requires some technical adaptations for routine use.
