(UroToday.com) The European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO) 2021 annual meeting’s prostate cancer session included a presentation by Dr. Brian Gonzalez discussing patient-reported outcomes in prostate cancer patients receiving prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) radionuclide therapy. PSMA targeted radionuclide therapy is a promising investigational therapy for patients with progressive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), conjugating a radionuclide emitting alpha radiation (e.g., Actinium-225) or beta radiation (e.g., Lutetium-177) to a small molecule ligand (e.g., PSMA-617) or a monoclonal antibody (e.g., J591) that has an affinity for PSMA. Treatment is generally well-tolerated, but adverse events have been reported. At the ESMO congress, Dr. Gonzalez and colleagues assessed patient-reported outcomes in prospective clinical trials.
