FDA Approves 18F-Fluciclovine and 68Ga-DOTATATE Products.

چکیده
T hrough its Priority Review mechanism, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently approved 2 radiopharmaceutical products for use as diagnostic PET agents. The first, approved on May 27, was Axumin (18F-fluciclovine) injection, indicated for use in PET imaging to identify suspected sites of prostate cancer recurrence in men with elevated levels of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) following prior treatment. The second, approved on June 1, was the NETSPOT kit for preparation of 68GaDOTATATE injection, indicated for localization of somatostatin receptor–positive neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) in adult and pediatric patients.

68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT imaging of indeterminate pulmonary nodules and lung cancer
PURPOSE 18F-FDG PET/CT is widely used to evaluate indeterminate pulmonary nodules (IPNs). False positive results occur, especially from active granulomatous nodules. A PET-based imaging agent with superior specificity to 18F-FDG for IPNs, is badly needed, especially in areas of endemic granulomatous nodules. Somatostatin receptors (SSTR) are expressed in many malignant cells including small cel...

BACKGROUND Ga-[1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-N,N',N″,N'″-tetraacetic acid]-d-Phe1,Tyr3-octreotate (DOTATATE) positron emission tomography (PET) is commonly used for the visualization of somatostatin receptor (SSTR)-positive neuroendocrine tumors. SSTR is also known to be expressed on macrophages, which play a major role in inflammatory processes in the walls of coronary arteries and large vess...
متن کاملDetection of Atherosclerotic Inflammation by 68Ga-DOTATATE PET Compared to [18F]FDG PET Imaging
BACKGROUND Inflammation drives atherosclerotic plaque rupture. Although inflammation can be measured using fluorine-18-labeled fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography ([18F]FDG PET), [18F]FDG lacks cell specificity, and coronary imaging is unreliable because of myocardial spillover. OBJECTIVES This study tested the efficacy of gallium-68-labeled DOTATATE (68Ga-DOTATATE), a somatostati...
متن کاملPET/CT in diagnosis and management of neuroendocrine tumors compared to current FDA approved imaging modalities: a review of literature
Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are rare group of neoplasms arising from nervous and endocrine systems. Somatostatin analogue imaging is a functional imaging modality of choice for evaluating the NETs. Recent availability of positron emitting radioisotope labeled somatostatin analogues to image neuroendocrine cancers, has raised the interests to use this new imaging modality in management of patie...
متن کاملPheochromocytoma and Paraganglioma: Current Functional and Future Molecular Imaging
Paragangliomas are neural crest-derived tumors, arising either from chromaffin sympathetic tissue (in adrenal, abdominal, intra-pelvic, or thoracic paraganglia) or from parasympathetic tissue (in head and neck paraganglia). They have a specific cellular metabolism, with the ability to synthesize, store, and secrete catecholamines (although most head and neck paragangliomas do not secrete any ca...
