1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundThe aim of this study was to evaluate the dosimetry for [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 in advanced non-prostate cancer (non-PCa) patients with previous intense radiotracer uptake of the tumor lesions on PET/CT using [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11.

resultsDosimetry data of 5 patients with non-prostate cancer (non-PCa group) were assessed and compared; Non-PCa tumors were breast cancer (BC), renal cell carcinoma (RCC), hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and anaplastic astrocytoma (AA). Five patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (PCa group) were used as control-group. All patients were given [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 after proven sufficient PSMA uptake of tumor lesions by [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT. Post-therapeutic dosimetry with serial whole-body scans (24, 48 and 72–120 h post-injection) included calculation of effective half-life and absorbed doses for tumor and non-tumor lesions and comparison between non-PCa and PCa patients. The mean effective half-life in tumor lesions was significantly shorter in non-PCa compared to PCa patients (27.1 ± 13.1 h vs. 74.9 ± 23.1 h, respectively, p < 0.001). Likewise, the mean absorbed dose per injected activity was significantly lower in tumor lesions of non-PCa compared to PCa (0.49 ± 0.40 Gy/GBq vs. 3.51 ± 2.20 Gy/GBq, respectively, p < 0.001). No significant differences for the source organ absorbed dose or effective half-life were observed between both groups.

conclusionsIn non-prostate malignancy with impressive diagnostic PSMA-mediated tumor uptake, i.e. high tracer uptake at early time points in [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT, [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 delivers a low tumor-absorbed dose due to a short effective half-life, therefore this therapy does not appear to be a potential antitumor option.
