Imaging and photodynamic therapy of prostate cancer using a theranostic PSMA-targeting ligand.
Article in European journal of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeIncomplete resection of prostate cancer (PCa) results in increased risk of disease recurrence. Combined fluorescence-guided surgery with tumor-targeted photodynamic therapy (tPDT) may help to achieve complete tumor eradication. We developed a prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) ligand consisting of a DOTA chelator for
methodsIn vitro, therapeutic efficacy of PSMA-N064 was evaluated using PSMA-positive LS174T cells and LS174T wild-type cells. In vivo, PSMA-N064-mediated tPDT was tested in immunodeficient BALB/c mice-bearing PSMA-positive LS174T xenografts. Tumor growth and survival were compared to control mice that received either NIR light or ligand injection only. Ex vivo tPDT efficacy was evaluated in excised fresh human PCa tissue incubated with PSMA-N064.
resultsIn vitro, tPDT led to a PSMA-specific light- and ligand dose-dependent loss in cell viability. In vivo, tPDT-induced tumor cell apoptosis, delayed tumor growth, and significantly improved survival (p = 0.004) of the treated PSMA-positive tumor-bearing mice compared with the controls. In fresh ex vivo human PCa tissue, apoptosis was significantly increased in PSMA-tPDT-treated samples compared to non-treated control samples (p = 0.037).
conclusionThis study showed the feasibility of PSMA-N064-mediated tPDT in cell assays, a xenograft model and excised fresh human PCa tissue. This paves the way to investigate the impact of in vivo PSMA-tPDT on surgical outcome in PCa patients.
