15 Localized residual or
metastatic PC post
prostatectomy and
lymphadenectomy with rising
serum PSA.
All patients had negative pre-
study radiographic abdominal
and pelvic cross-sectional
images.
One patient with low
PSA had normal
imaging results and 14
patients had
scintigraphic evidence
of residual prostatic
bed or metastatic
prostatic carcinoma.
Two patients with
borderline abnormal
bone scans had
abnormal activity in
the same regions on
capromab

12 CRPC Myelosuppression was
the dose-limiting
toxicity.
No patient attained a
complete or partial
response based on
PSA and/or
radiological criteria.
Patients treated on higher
dose of 90Y-CYT356 had
greater progression free
survival

152 High pre-surgical PSA, high
Gleason score/clinical stage
Capromab scans
showed a sensitivity of
62%, sensitivity of
72%, PPV of 62%,
NPV of 2% and an
overall accuracy of
68%. In comparison,
CT had sensitivity of
4% and specificity of
100%.
Improved visualization of
these scintigraphic findings
by improved radiotracer
detection or a mAb affinity
increase the relevance of
PSMA imaging.

32 Residual biochemical evidence
of disease after radical
prostatectomy
Capromab scans
demonstrated
metastasis in 9/32
(28%) with
disseminated disease
and 23/32 with local
disease
The size of the cohorts and
questions about how similar
the groups of responders and
non-responder were,
continue to plague this study.

48 Recurrent PC detected by PSA
following radical retropubic
prostatectomy
The scans showed
monoclonal uptake in
pelvic, abdominal, and
extrapelvic
retroperitoneal sites
beyond the region of
limited obturator node
dissections.
The study suggested a good
predicting tool for selecting
patients for salvage EBRT

42 Patients showing biochemical
progression after radical
prostatectomy.
42 patients underwent
imaging for
biochemical
progression after
radical prostatectomy.
Abnormal
accumulation of mAb
was seen in 36
patients. Of these
patients 16 (38.1%)
subsequently
completed a course of
salvage RT.
A regular PSA screening in
combination with 111In-
Capromab imaging may
result in significant
improvement in rates of
biochemical failure in PC
patients

30 Patients who had 111In-
Capromab scan and underwent
salvage radiotherapy for
recurrent disease after
prostatectomy.
In patients who had
prostatectomy and
biochemical relapse
and received salvage
RT, presalvage RT In-
Capromab scan
findings outside the
prostate fossa were not
predictive of
biochemical control
after RT.
