Axis - Dec 16, 2020   According to new research published in the December issue of The Journal of Nuclear Medicine, the imaging agent ⁶⁴Cu-CuSarTate produced high-quality PET images in a mouse model of neuroendocrine tumors, while its therapeutic counterpart, ⁶⁷Cu-CuSarTate, was highly effective in reducing tumor volume and extending lifespan. Treatment of tumors with two fractions of either ¹⁷⁷Lu-LuTATE or ⁶⁷Cu-CuSarTate significantly improved survival when compared to delivery as a single fraction. Equivalent efficacy was observed between the two therapies following treatment on both the single and fractionated schedules. Rodney J.
