Overview

NCI Definition [1]:
A radioconjugate composed of PSMA-617, a human prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeting ligand, conjugated to the beta-emitting radioisotope lutetium Lu 177 (177Lu), with potential antineoplastic activity against PSMA-expressing tumor cells. Upon intravenous administration of lutetium Lu 177 vipivotide tetraxetan, vipivotide tetraxetan targets and binds to PSMA-expressing tumor cells. Upon binding, PSMA-expressing tumor cells are destroyed by 177Lu through the specific delivery of beta particle radiation. PSMA, a tumor-associated antigen and type II transmembrane protein, is expressed on the membrane of prostatic epithelial cells and overexpressed on prostate tumor cells.

Lu 177-psma-617 has been investigated in 6 clinical trials, of which 5 are open and 1 is closed. Of the trials investigating lu 177-psma-617, 1 is phase 1 (1 open), 2 are phase 1/phase 2 (1 open), and 3 are phase 3 (3 open).

FOLH1 Expression and FOLH1 Overexpression are the most frequent biomarker inclusion criteria for lu 177-psma-617 clinical trials.

Prostate adenocarcinoma and prostate carcinoma are the most common diseases being investigated in lu 177-psma-617 clinical trials [2].
