Future focuses following the phase 3 SPOTLIGHT trial will include identifying sites of recurrence and different intensity levels for 18F-rhPSMA-7.3 in suspected recurrent prostate cancer, according to Benjamin H. Lowenritt, MD, FACS.
In an interview with CancerNetwork® during the 2022 American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) Annual Meeting, Benjamin H. Lowentritt, MD, FACS, a practicing urologist at Chesapeake Urology in Baltimore, Maryland, highlighted next steps for the phase 3 SPOTLIGHT study (NCT04186845), which examined the impact of clinical factors on detection rates of 18F-rhPSMA-7.3 in suspected recurrent prostate cancer. In terms of future analyses, Lowentritt indicated that assessing sites of disease recurrence and levels of intensity will be areas of focus.
Transcript:
The SPOTLIGHT trial data are really just coming to light and being reported. We're continuing to look at different subgroup analyses. [We are] also really drilling into some of the sites of recurrence and identifying where and when this may be most helpful. [We are] evaluating different levels of intensity, the [standardized uptake value], and other things within the actual imaging reports and how that may predict sites of disease. There is certainly continuing to be a lot of work done with the data from the SPOTLIGHT trial, which was only recently completed.

Prolaris in Practice: Guiding ADT Benefits, Clinical Application, and Expert Insights From ACRO 2025
April 15th 2025Steven E. Finkelstein, MD, DABR, FACRO discuses how Prolaris distinguishes itself from other genomic biomarker platforms by providing uniquely actionable clinical information that quantifies the absolute benefit of androgen deprivation therapy when added to radiation therapy, offering clinicians a more precise tool for personalizing prostate cancer treatment strategies.
CCR Scores and Beyond: Precision Strategies for Treatment Intensification in Prostate Cancer
April 15th 2025Alvaro Martinez, MD discusses how emerging genomic risk stratification tools such as the clinical cell-cycle risk (CCR) score are transforming personalized prostate cancer treatment by enabling more nuanced assessments of metastasis risk and treatment intensification strategies beyond traditional NCCN risk groupings.
