Overview of Tb-161 Therapy • Used in treating metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) • Administered as [161Tb]Tb-PSMA-I&T • Delivered in multiple treatment cycles for better efficacy and safety
Why Is Cyclic Dosing Important? • Typically up to six cycles, spaced 6 weeks apart • Repeated dosing targets micrometastatic disease • Sustains pressure on cancer cells to disrupt tumor growth • Helps improve long-term outcomes
Monitoring After Each Cycle • Each cycle allows for: • Evaluating tumor response • Monitoring side effects • Adjusting future doses based on progress
Role of Dosimetry in Treatment • SPECT/CT scans performed post each cycle • 3D voxel-based dosimetry calculates radiation absorbed • Enables personalized adjustments to protect organs like: • Kidneys • Salivary glands • Bone marrow
Clinical Research Supports This Approach • VIOLET trial shows high tumor dose delivery with Tb-161 • Safe and effective with minimal added toxicity • Research confirms cyclic dosing improves therapeutic index
Conclusion • Cyclic Tb-161 therapy is a strategic and science-backed approach • Provides precision, adaptability, and patient-specific safety • A promising option in advanced prostate cancer management Disclaimer: This information is intended for general knowledge and informational purposes only, and does not constitute medical advice.
