Area of Science:

  • Nuclear Medicine
  • Radiopharmaceutical Development
  • Oncology Imaging

Background:

  • Prostate cancer diagnosis relies on accurate imaging to detect metastasis.
  • Current imaging agents face limitations in sensitivity and specificity.
  • Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is a key biomarker for prostate cancer.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize the development milestones of flotufolastat F 18.
  • To highlight the regulatory approval of flotufolastat F 18 in the USA.
  • To introduce flotufolastat F 18 as a new PSMA-targeted imaging agent.

Main Methods:

  • Development of an 18F-labelled radiohybrid agent.
  • Targeting of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA).
  • Clinical application in positron emission tomography (PET).

Main Results:

  • Flotufolastat F 18 (POSLUMA®) received US FDA approval in May 2023.
  • Approved for PET imaging of PSMA-positive lesions in prostate cancer.
  • Indicated for men with suspected metastasis or recurrence.

Conclusions:

  • Flotufolastat F 18 represents a significant advancement in prostate cancer imaging.
  • The approval facilitates improved diagnostic capabilities for metastatic and recurrent prostate cancer.
  • This radiohybrid agent enhances the detection of PSMA-positive lesions.
