Introduction to Terbium-161 (Tb-161) • Tb-161 is being evaluated as a next-generation therapy for mCRPC • Investigated in the VIOLET trial (ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05521412) • Shows better efficacy and lower toxicity than Lu-177
Limitations of Lu-177 • Emits beta particles with ~0.7 mm pathlength • Effective for large tumors • Limited reach fails to target micrometastases or single tumor cells
How Tb-161 is Different • Emits: • Beta particles • Auger electrons • Conversion electrons • Radiation effective over nanometer to micrometer range • Targets micrometastases with precision
Better Energy Delivery • Tb-161 delivers 35–40% more absorbed energy per decay than Lu-177 • More focused radiation to tumor cells • Less damage to healthy tissues (e.g., kidneys, salivary glands)
SPECT/CT-Based Dosimetry in VIOLET Trial • Advanced imaging confirms: • Higher tumor dose with Tb-161 • Maintained safety thresholds in healthy organs • No unexpected toxicities reported
Key Takeaway • Tb-161 is more precise and safer than Lu-177 • Targets micrometastatic cancer more effectively • A promising choice for advanced prostate cancer treatment Disclaimer: This information is intended for general knowledge and informational purposes only, and does not constitute medical advice.
