TLX250 (177Lu-DOTA-girentuximab) is a therapeutic radiopharmaceutical that uses anti-CAIX girentuximab (just like the imaging application) to deliver a therapeutic dose of targeted radiation to ccRCC. This therapy may also be used in combination with other oncology treatments to increase the overall efficacy of these treatments.
Für die Bildgebung wird 89Zirconium gegeben.
TLX250-CDx (89Zr-DFO-girentuximab) is an imaging radiopharmaceutical for the imaging of renal cancer with Positron Emission Tomography (PET). TLX250-CDx targets a cell- surface antigen called Carbonic Anhydrase IX (CAIX), a target that is over-expressed in ccRCC. CAIX antigen is present on 90+% of ccRCC cells but is absent from normal kidney tissues. Many patients are diagnosed with an indeterminate renal mass through routine imaging procedures and TLX250-CDx is able to non-invasively determine whether those incidental findings are cancerous or not. Additionally, TLX250-CDx is sensitive to metastatic disease (which also expresses CAIX) and is therefore potentially enormously beneficial to correctly staging patients with ccRCC. |
