Imaging Lessons from the VISION Trial

Presenter: Phillip Kuo, M.D., Ph.D. | Senior Medical Director, Invicro

The landmark phase 3 theranostic trial, “Lutetium-177–PSMA-617 for Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (VISION)”, demonstrated prolonged overall survival and radiographic progression-free survival when the targeted delivery of the beta-particle emitting radiopharmaceutical was added to standard of care. The trial incorporated novel read criteria of PSMA-PET/CT for selection of patients. The trial’s success opens the doors for utilization of PSMA-PET and molecular imaging for future theranostic trials. 

During this webinar, the presenter will discuss:

  • An overview of the use of PET for selecting patients for PSMA-targeted radiopharmaceuticals
  • The rationale underpinning the novel read criteria for the VISION trial
  • The lessons to be learned from the VISION trial
