Abstract

Background Lutetium 177 (177Lu) prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-617 SPECT/CT has demonstrated promise as a response biomarker for 177Lu-PSMA-617 therapy. Purpose To predict overall survival (OS) after enzalutamide plus 177Lu-PSMA-617 using quantitative parameters at 177Lu-PSMA-617 SPECT/CT at 6 weeks, as well as prostate-specific antigen (PSA) response, in participants with metastatic ca…
