Updates on Ga-68: Outlook for the Future Webinar
Description:
Gallium-68-DOTA compounds that target somatostatin receptors have been used with PET to significantly improved the quality of imaging neuroendocrine tumors. Although approved in Europe, this class of agent has only been used in investigational trials under INDs in the US. Expanded efforts are underway to move them towards approval and into clinical practice. Recently, both 68Ga-DOTATOC and 68Ga-DOTATATE (GalioMedix ™) were granted orphan drug status by the FDA for the management of neuroendocrine tumors. These announcements have garnered widespread interest and elevated enthusiasm for using gallium imaging agents, but some issues related to using these agents remain unclear. Join David Dick, PhD, on Thursday, October 23 at 3:00pm ET, as he describes the current trials underway using the three Ga-68 DOTA agents (NOC/TATE/TOC) along with updates on the manufacturing, production and availability of the agents for clinical and/or investigational use.
