Abstract
68Ga-satoreotide trizoxetan is a novel somatostatin receptor antagonist associated with high sensitivity and reproducibility in neuroendocrine tumour (NET) detection and localisation. However, the optimal peptide mass and radioactivity ranges for 68Ga-satoreotide trizoxetan have not yet been established. We therefore aimed to determine its optimal dosing regimen in patients with metastatic gastroenteropancreatic NETs in a prospective, randomised, 2×3 factorial, multicentre, phase II study. Methods: Patients received 68Ga-satoreotide trizoxetan at a peptide mass of 5-20 µg on day 1 of the study and of 30-45 µg on day 16-22, at one of three gallium-68 radioactivity ranges (40-80, 100-140, or 160-200 MBq). Whole-body PET/CT imaging was performed 50-70 minutes after each injection. The primary endpoint was the detection rate of NET lesions imaged by 68Ga-satoreotide trizoxetan relative to contrast-enhanced CT (CECT) (for each of the six peptide mass/radioactivity range combinations). Results: Twenty-four patients were evaluated in the per-protocol analysis. The median number of lesions detected by 68Ga-satoreotide trizoxetan PET/CT or PET only was at least twice as high as the number of lesions detected by CECT across the six studied peptide mass dose/radioactivity range combinations. There were no differences between the two peptide mass ranges and between the three radioactivity ranges in the number of identified lesions. However, a trend towards a lower relative lesion count was noted in the liver for the 40-80 MBq range. No relationship was observed between the radioactivity range per patient's body weight (MBq/kg) and the number of lesions detected by 68Ga-satoreotide trizoxetan. Median diagnostic sensitivity of 68Ga-satoreotide trizoxetan PET/CT, based on the number of lesions per patient, ranged from 85% to 87% across the different peptide mass and radioactivity ranges. Almost all reported adverse events were mild and self-limiting. Conclusion: A radioactivity of 100-200 MBq with a peptide mass up to 50 μg were confirmed as the optimal dosing regimen for 68Ga-satoreotide trizoxetan to be used in future phase III studies.

Abstract
Introduction The impact of prior therapies, especially chemotherapy, on overall survival (OS) in patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) receiving [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 therapy has been the subject of controversy. Therefore, WARMTH decided to plan a multicenter retrospective analysis (the “617 trial”) to evaluate response rate and OS as well as the impact of prior therapies on OS in more than 300 patients treated with 177Lu-PSMA-617. Materials and methods The data of 631 metastatic CRPC (mCRPC) patients from 11 different clinics were evaluated. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, all patients had to have received at least abiraterone or enzalutamide prior to [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 therapy. The patients were divided into three groups: patients who had received prior chemotherapy, patients who avoided chemotherapy, and patients for whom a chemotherapy was contraindicated. Results The analysis included the data of 416 patients, with a median age of 71.9 years. At the time of analysis, 87 patients (20,9%) were still alive. A total of 53.6% of patients had received both abiraterone and enzalutamide; 75.5% and 26.4% had a history of chemotherapy with docetaxel and cabazitaxel, respectively. A total of 20.4% had had Ra-223. The median OS was 11.1 months. Prior chemotherapy, the existence of bone and liver metastases, as well as Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) status, were significant prognosticators of worse overall survival in both univariate and multivariate analyses. Patients without any prior chemotherapy showed a significantly longer OS (14.6 months). The median OS in patients who received one or two lines of chemotherapy with docetaxel or docetaxel followed by cabazitaxel, respectively, was 10.9 months and 8.9 months. There was no difference in OS between patients who had not received chemotherapy and patients for whom chemotherapy was contraindicated. The other prior therapies did not have any significant impact on OS. Conclusion In the present multicenter analysis, chemotherapy-naïve mCRPC patients receiving [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 therapy had a significantly longer OS than patients with a history of chemotherapy. This remained independent in the multivariate analysis besides presence of bone and liver metastases as negative prognosticators for survival, whereas an ECOG of 0–1 is associated with a longer OS.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION A new therapeutic option for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) of heavily pre-treated patients lies in 177Lu-PSMA-617 radioligand therapy. METHODS On the basis of PSMA-targeted 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT, 32 consecutive mCRPC patients were selected for 177Lu-PSMA-617 therapy (6 GBq/cycle, 2 to 6 cycles, 6-10 weeks apart) and followed until death. Post-therapy whole-body (WB) dosimetry and 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT data were compared and related to progression free and overall survival. RESULTS 177Lu-PSMA-617 dosimetry after the first cycle indicated high tumor doses for skeletal (4.01 ± 2.64; range 1.10-13.00 Gy/GBq), lymph node (3.12 ± 2.07; range 0.70-8.70 Gy/GBq), and liver (2.97 ± 1.38; range 0.76-5.00 Gy/GBq) metastases whereas the dose for tissues/organs was acceptable in all patients for an intention-to-treat activity of 24 GBq. Any PSA decrease after the first cycle was found in 23/32 (72%), after the second cycle in 22/32 (69%), after the third cycle in 16/28 (57%), and after the fourth cycle in 8/18 (44%) patients. Post-therapy 24 h WB scintigraphy showed decreased tumor-to-background ratios in 24/32 (75%) after the first therapy cycle, after the second cycle in 17/29 (59%), and after the third cycle in 13/21 (62%) patients. The median PFS was 7 months and the median OS 12 months. In the group of PSA responders (n = 22) the median OS was 17 months versus 11 months in the group of non-responders (n = 10), p < 0.05. Decreasing SUVmax values were found for parotid (15.93 ± 6.23 versus 12.33 ± 4.07) and submandibular glands (17.65 ± 7.34 versus 13.12 ± 4.62) following treatment, along with transient (n = 6) or permanent (n = 2) xerostomia in 8/32 (25%) patients. In 3/32 patients, nephrotoxicity changed from Grade 2 to 3, whereas neither Grade 4 nephrotoxicity nor hematotoxicity was found. In most patients a good agreement was observed for the visual interpretation of the tracer accumulation between 24 h WB and PET/CT scans. However, no significance could be calculated for baseline-absorbed tumor doses and SUVmax values of tumor lesions. 5/32 (16%) patients showed a mixed response pattern, which resulted in disease progression over time. CONCLUSION Serial PSA measurements and post-therapy 24 h WB scintigraphy seems to allow a sufficiently accurate follow-up of 177Lu-PSMA-617-treated mCRPC patients whereas 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT should be performed for patient selection and final response assessment.
