Overview of Emerging Theranostic Twins

Theranostic twinSubcellular mechanismTreated tumor entitiesOrgans at riskKey characteristics
68Ga-pentixafor/177Lu-pentixatherSDF1/CXCR4 axisMultiple myelomaBone marrow, kidneyAgent has been applied for treatment of multiple myeloma (76,77), with complete/partial remission in most subjects (76)
Agent is add-on to conventional chemotherapy and conditioning regimen before autologous or allogeneic stem cell transplantation (73)
COLPRIT trial investigates CXCR4-directed endoradiotherapy in multiple myeloma and lymphoma at early disease stage (73)
123I-/131I-metomidate11β-hydroxylase aldosterone synthaseAdrenocortical cancerBone marrow, adrenal glandPartial response was seen in 1/11 patients and stable disease in 5/11 (83)
The novel theranostic pair 123I-/131I-azetidinylamide may increase efficacy (84)
The currently recruiting FAMIAN trial investigates impact of 123I-metomidate on clinical management (90)
177Lu-3BP-277Neurotensin receptor 1Ductal pancreatic adenocarcinomaKidneyNeurotensin receptor 1 is promising target with overexpression in breast cancer, pancreatic adenocarcinoma, prostate cancer and lung cancer (85)
Feasibility study demonstrated partial response in patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma and extensive tumor burden (86)
PET-guided strategies for risk stratification are needed (91)
