PYLARIFY® PET/CT Case Studies


In patients with high-risk PCa who were candidates for initial definitive therapy, PYLARIFY® PET/CT identified extra-pelvic lesions in 12.3% of patients, which were not detected with standard imaging2

A patient in OSPREY with baseline staging T1c N0 M0, PSA 13.68 ng/mL, and Gleason score 4+5. CT imaging (not shown) showed no evidence of metastatic disease, and bone scintigraphy showed changes of left hip arthroplasty and increased tracer uptake in the anterior superior iliac spine (shown with arrow), but otherwise normal. PYLARIFY® (piflufolastat F 18) injection showed multifocal osseous lesions on the spine, ribs, pelvis, and right clavicle. Biopsy of left transverse process of L3 confirmed osseous metastatic disease (M1b).2

In CONDOR, across the 3 readers, PYLARIFY® detected at least 1 previously occult lesion in 59.6%-65.9% of patients3,4

INDICATION & IMPORTANT
SAFETY INFORMATION

PYLARIFY® (piflufolastat F 18) Injection is a radioactive diagnostic agent indicated for positron emission tomography (PET) of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positive lesions in men with prostate cancer:

  • with suspected metastasis who are candidates for initial definitive therapy.
  • with suspected recurrence based on elevated serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level.
