Lutetium (177 Lu) oxodotreotide or 177 Lu dotatate, brand name Lutathera, is a chelated complex of a radioisotope of the element lutetium with dotatate, used in peptide receptor radionuclide therapy. Specifically, it is used in the treatment of cancers which express somatostatin receptors. [5] It is a radiolabeled somatostatin analog. [3] [6] [7]
Lutetium (177 Lu) vipivotide tetraxetan, sold under the brand name Pluvicto, is a radiopharmaceutical medication used for the treatment of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-positive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). [5] [6] Lutetium (177 Lu) vipivotide tetraxetan is a targeted radioligand therapy. [6] [8]
Radiation from lutetium (177 Lu) oxodotreotide can cause damage when the medicine passes through tubules in the kidney. [45] Arginine/lysine can be used to reduce renal radiation exposure during peptide receptor radionuclide therapy with lutetium ( 177 Lu) oxodotreotide.
DOTA-TATE can be reacted with the radionuclides gallium-68 (T 1/2 = 68 min), lutetium-177 (T 1/2 = 6.65 d) and copper-64 (T 1/2 = 12.7 h) to form radiopharmaceuticals for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging or radionuclide therapy. 177 Lu DOTA-TATE therapy is a form of peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) which targets ...
FRANKFURT (Reuters) -Eli Lilly said on Thursday it would bring the Mounjaro drug against obesity and diabetes to British patients within weeks after winning clearance for pre-filling it into an ...
Forty radioisotopes have been characterized, with the most stable, besides 176 Lu, being 174 Lu with a half-life of 3.31 years, and 173 Lu with a half-life of 1.37 years. All of the remaining radioactive isotopes have half-lives that are less than 9 days, and the majority of these have half-lives that are less than half an hour.
For the first time in two decades, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved a new class of medication that provides an alternative to addictive opioids for patients looking to manage ...
