SAR-bisPSMA - Prostate Cancer
onlySAR-bisPSMA is a next generation, highly targeted theranostic radiopharmaceutical, being developed for diagnosing, staging and subsequently treating cancers that express
useProstate Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA).
SAR-bisPSMA derives its name from the word "bis", which reflects the novel approach of connecting two PSMA binding motifs to Clarity's SAR chelator technology to increase tumour uptake and retention in
personalcancerous tissues. Preliminary clinical data from the PROPELLER trial is aligning with preclinical data where product uptake appears to be higher for 64Cu SAR- bisPSMA than that of the first-generation PSMA agents that use a single PSMA binding motif. The PET imaging data acquired in the SECuRE trial to date also looks very promising with high tumour targeting and retention.
The term "bis" is used to denote the presence of
two identical but separate binding motifs in one molecule
