December 18, 2020 The U.S. Food and Drug Administration s (FDA) recent approval of a PET radiotracer that targets lesions positive for prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is not only a quantum leap for the diagnosis of prostate cancer in men but also sets a precedent for academic research.
The FDA granted approval to the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) and the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) for the use of gallium-68 (Ga-68) PSMA-11 PET for prostate cancer patients with suspected metastases, as well as in patients with suspected recurrence based on elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels.
The agency s action also marks a unique approach to simultaneous new drug application (NDA) approvals and opens the door for wider clinical use of the cancer imaging technique.
