Dr. Sartor and Taylor discuss Copper-67 (Cu-67 or 67Cu), the radioligand I am so curious about!

[Maxone73]

Dr Sartor interviews dr Taylor who is the lead researcher on copper isotopes to be used for precision medicine for prostate cancer and not only. The first patient with mCRPC treated with 2 infusions at therapeutic dose, complete remission...ok, luck, but still, I like it!

But their enthusiasm is higher than mine, I hope it's not marketing: "But prostate is our major area with bisPSMA. And that's Copper-67 bisPSMA. We're excited about that because of the early data, even in late-stage disease and having, you saw the complete response in the first patient we ever treated twice at what we thought was a therapeutic dose, was amazing. That wasn't a combination. That was after everything. And to have that sort of dramatic response."

Thanks brother! My posts are mainly aimed towards that!

You amaze me with your research and thanks a million. How do we continue to follow this in the future.?

[Maxone73 in reply to Mgtd]

I will post more! But you can simply enter the name of the trial of of the molecule in Google once in a while and filter the results by date

Its somewhat annoying that the company behind this is located down the road from me in sydney but their trial for cu-67 going to 2026 is recruiting only in 5 american locations. was it so hard to add one Australian one?

Perhaps the trial requirements are less restrictive in US than AU? Or get it passed in the largest global market first. There are many US approved/prescribed drugs and tests not available from the manufacturers elsewhere in the world.

[Maxone73 in reply to Aardvark4]

Problem is that they often require you not only to cover the expenses of the trial but to rent an apartment for the whole duration of the monitoring and so on. You have to basically move to the USA for the length of the trial. I was even thinking about creating a sort of charity with home owners that would lend out some property at low price exclusively for people participating in trials. A kind of worldwide network….air b&t, bed & trial 😂

pet psma was pioneered in Australia first so it isnt like radio isotopes and pc are out of the wheelhouse here

[Aardvark4 in reply to street-air]

population US 335 million AU 27 million, follow tne money. Would approval in AU open it up to access the US market; ask the FDA!

well it shouldn't be a binary choice can have one aussie arm

This sound very promising!! Thanks Maxone for the thread!! Does anyone know how to get a scan without going through a clinical trial? The phase 1 diagnostic trial is closed. If you have a negative PSMA scan wouldn’t it be worth it to try a cu based PSMA scan? It seems so many men have negative PSMA scans with rising PSA levels. I fully recognize that it is not FDA approved but a great opportunity exists!! Thanks to all in advance.
