Case Report: [225Ac]Ac-PSMA-617 therapy in a patient with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) and intracranial meningioma
Clinical Report: Administration of [225Ac]Ac-PSMA-617 in mCRPC and Meningioma
Overview
This case study reports the administration of [225Ac]Ac-PSMA-617 in a 77-year-old male with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer and intracranial meningioma. The treatment resulted in a significant decrease in PSA levels and meningioma size, highlighting the potential of PSMA RLT in treating non-prostatic tumors.
Background
Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among men globally, while meningioma is a prevalent primary brain tumor. The combination of these two conditions is rare, making effective treatment challenging. Prostate-specific membrane antigen radioligand therapy (PSMA RLT) represents a promising therapeutic approach due to PSMA expression in both tumor types.
Data Highlights
Parameter
Result
PSA Level Decrease
99.8%
Meningioma Size Decrease
90.6%
Hematological Stability
Stable
Xerostomia
High-grade
Key Findings
The patient experienced a 99.8% decrease in PSA levels after treatment.
Meningioma size decreased by 90.6% following four administrations of [225Ac]Ac-PSMA-617.
High-grade xerostomia was noted as an unfavorable symptom post-treatment.
Hematological parameters remained stable throughout the observation period.
PSMA expression is prevalent in both prostate cancer and meningioma, supporting the use of PSMA RLT.
Clinical Implications
The findings suggest that [225Ac]Ac-PSMA-617 may be an effective treatment option for patients with both metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer and meningioma. Clinicians should monitor for potential side effects, such as xerostomia, while considering this therapy.
Conclusion
This case report provides evidence for the efficacy of [225Ac]Ac-PSMA-617 in treating metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer and meningioma, warranting further investigation into its broader application.
