Overview

NCI Definition [1]:
A radioimmunoconjugate consisting of a humanized monoclonal antibody directed against the extracellular domain of prostate-specific membrane antigen linked to a beta-emitting radioisotope (lutetium-177). This radioimmunoconjugate binds to tumor cells that express the extracellular domain of prostate-specific membrane antigen, delivering beta particle radiation selectively to tumor cells expressing this antigen and so limiting the exposure of normal tissues to ionizing radiation.

177lu-j591 has been investigated in 3 clinical trials, of which 2 are open and 1 is closed. Of the trials investigating 177lu-j591, 1 is phase 1 (1 open), 1 is phase 1/phase 2 (0 open), and 1 is phase 2 (1 open).

Prostate adenocarcinoma and malignant solid tumor are the most common diseases being investigated in 177lu-j591 clinical trials [2].
