You can find all the shows, including this one at asco.org/podcasts. My name is Brittany Harvey, and today I'm interviewing Dr. Rohan Garje from Miami Cancer Institute Baptist Health South Florida, lead author on “Systemic Therapy Update on 177Lutetium-PSMA-617 for Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer: ASCO Guideline Rapid Recommendation Update.  Thank you for being here today, Dr. Garje. Dr. Rohan Garje: Thank you so much for having me, Brittany. Brittany Harvey: And then, just before we discuss this guideline, I'd like to note that ASCO takes great care in the development of its guidelines in ensuring that the ASCO Conflict of Interest policy is followed for each guideline. The disclosures of potential conflicts of interest for the guideline panel, including Dr. Garje, who has joined us on this episode today, are available online with the publication of the update in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, which is linked in the show notes.  So then, to dive into the content of this rapid update, first, Dr. Garje, what prompted this rapid update to the guideline on Systemic Therapy for Metastatic Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer? Dr. Rohan Garje: So, last year, when we did a rapid update on ASCO prostate cancer guidelines, we recommended the addition of 177Lutetium-PSMA-617, also called as PLUVICTO, as a treatment choice for patients who have PSMA-positive metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer. After that approval, the primary imaging modality at the time of this initial drug approval was based on gallium-68, which was used in that clinical trial, which was VISION. Since then, we have access to a couple of new radiotracers, one of them being piflufolastat, also called as PYLARIFY, and the newer one called flotuflastat F-18, which is also called as POSLUMA, as additional imaging agents to detect PSMA-positive lesions. So, our expert panel group, along with my co-chairs, we thought to add these additional choices for patient selection because this provides the treating physicians additional options because there really are nuances involved in these imaging agents. So this helps broaden the access to  177Lutetium-PSMA-617 for patients. Brittany Harvey: Excellent. I appreciate you providing that background that the panel was reviewing.   So then, based on this updated information, what is the updated recommendation from the expert panel? Dr. Rohan Garje: So, for the new recommendation, the guideline expert panel recommends use of one of these three radio tracers, that is Ga-68PSMA-11, or piflufolastat F-18, or flotufolastat F-18 as one of the radiotracer choices to screen for PSMA-positive lesions on a PSMA scan, and potentially select the patients for PSMA 177lutetium. This way, we can use one of these three agents rather than previously recommended, as p
