PSMA-targeted α-therapy response: Kelly and colleagues assess in a murine model the albumin-binding prostate-specific membrane antigen–targeting ligand RPS-074 in an LNCaP xenograft model and its potential for treatment in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.
Page 649
PSMA ligands with improved tumor uptake: Kelly and colleagues use structural modifications to increase the tumor-to-kidney ratio of the trifunctional radioligand RPS-063 through increased albumin binding, tumor uptake, and reduction of kidney activity.
