Gallium (68Ga) gozetotide, sold under the brand name Illuccix among others, is a radiopharmaceutical made of 68Ga conjugated to prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) targeting ligand, Glu-Urea-Lys(Ahx)-HBED-CC, used for imaging prostate cancer by positron emission tomography (PET).[6] The PSMA targeting ligand specifically directs the radiolabeled imaging agent towards the prostate cancerous lesions in men. [7] This is the first drug approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a PET imaging agent.[7]
Medical uses
Gallium (68Ga) gozetotide is a radioactive diagnostic agent indicated for positron emission tomography (PET) of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-positive lesions in men with prostate cancer.[4][5]
Ga 68 PSMA-11 injections are used for PET imaging of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positive lesions in males with prostate cancer. It can be given for the patients with suspected metastasis, and the candidates with initial definitive therapy.[2]
Development
Initially gallium (68Ga) chloride solution injections used for radiolabelling,[8] in 2019 European Pharmacopoeia mentions gallium (68Ga) DOTATOC injection for radiolabelling and PET imaging.[9]
Ga 68 PSMA-11 is co-developed by University of California, Los Angeles and University of California, San Francisco, they conducted phase III clinical trial.[10] In December 2020, the drug was first approved by US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for PET imaging.[7]
Mechanism of action
Gallium (68Ga) gozetotide binds with prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA).[2] This binds to cells that express PSMA, including malignant prostate cancer cells.[2] The radioactive isotope of gallium, 68Ga is responsible for emitting β+ radiations and X-rays.[2] This helps in recording images by positron emission tomography (PET) and CT scan.[2]
Society and culture
Legal status
On 13 October 2022, the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) adopted a positive opinion, recommending the granting of a marketing authorization for the medicinal product Locametz, intended for the diagnosis of prostate cancer.[11] The applicant for this medicinal product is Novartis Europharm Limited.[11]
Names
Gallium (68Ga) gozetotide is the international nonproprietary name (INN).[12]
