Prognostic Value of 177Lutetium-PSMA Single Photon Emission Tomography and Timing of Response (RECIP)

June 10, 2026 updated by: IMBERT Laetitia, Central Hospital, Nancy, France

Prognostic Value of [¹⁷⁷Lu]Lu-PSMA SPECT and Timing of RECIP Assessment in mCRPC

177Lutetium-PSMA-617 is an established treatment for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Early response assessment is critical for optimizing patient management. Response Evaluation Criteria in Prostate Imaging (RECIP) 1.0, initially developed for Positon Emission Tomography (PET) with 68Ga-PSMA, have demonstrated prognostic value, particularly after two treatment cycles. Recent studies suggest that SPECT at cycle 2 provides prognostic information, although it reflects only the first treatment cycle, whereas PET-based RECIP, assessed after cycle 2, captures the effect of two cycles. This study aims to evaluate the prognostic value of quantitative 177Lu-PSMA-SPECT biomarkers and determine the optimal timing for RECIP-based assessment.

Detailed Description

Early response assessment is critical for optimizing patient management. Response Evaluation Criteria in Prostate Imaging (RECIP) 1.0, initially developed for Positon Emission Tomography (PET) with 68Ga-PSMA, have demonstrated prognostic value, particularly after two treatment cycles. Recent studies suggest that SPECT at cycle 2 provides prognostic information, although it reflects only the first treatment cycle, whereas PET-based RECIP, assessed after cycle 2, captures the effect of two cycles. This study aims to evaluate the prognostic value of quantitative 177Lu-PSMA-SPECT biomarkers and determine the optimal timing for RECIP-based assessment.

It would indeed be very interesting to obtain a prognostic value using imaging performed after treatment, which also provides dosimetry information to organs at risk and to the tumor and/or metastases.
