NOBLE Registry

The NOBLE Registry is a collaboration combining the oncology and prostate cancer expertise of Oncidium foundation and Telix Pharmaceuticals. It is led by Principal Investigator Dr. Batool Albalooshi, Head of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging at the Dubai Health Authority, United Arab Emirates and supported by an expert global clinical leadership team.

The objective is to generate a data repository – which may inform further development of PSMA-SPECT products for emerging markets.

Ultimately, the Oncidium foundation and Telix aim to enable patients with prostate cancer, regardless of origin, technology availability or financial situation, to access PSMA-SPECT imaging for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.

PROSTATE CANCER

Prostate Cancer is the second most frequent cancer diagnosis in men and the fifth leading cause of cancer death worldwide [ref Globocan 2021]. Early detection can significantly reduce the mortality rate and in recent years much attention has focused on prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) as a target for imaging and therapy using radionuclides for prostate cancer. 

Evaluating Prostate Cancer Through Radioligand Imaging

Step 1

Screening: what’s your PSA level ?

Screening for prostate cancer can start by taking a blood test to measure your PSA level. PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) is a substance in the blood that is mainly made by the prostate gland. When higher-than-normal levels are noticed in men, it can be a sign of prostate conditions, including cancer.

Step 2

Injecting a radioactive substance

To prepare for imaging to identify prostate cancer, a small amount of a radioactive substance can be injected into the patient’s body, which seeks out a marker expressed by cancer cells.

Step 3

Imaging and staging
A scanner can detect the injected radioactive substance and produce metabolic and functional images, identifying where the cancer is located in the body.

Globally, PSMA positron emission tomography (PSMA PET) is an emerging standard of care in prostate cancer imaging [ref: Hofman M, et al. The Lancet 2020; Trabulsi E, et al. Journal of Clinical Oncology 2020; National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Guidelines 2021] with several products either approved or in development worldwide. Once approved these products will provide prostate cancer patients with access to PSMA-PET imaging technology, however PET technologies are scarce in some parts of the world and such imaging products may come at a high cost. The NOBLE registry is dedicated to developing an efficient and affordable alternative through SPECT-imaging, allowing many more patients to access a PSMA scan when indicated.

PSMA SPECT

PSMA-SPECT products, when registered, could lead to a viable imaging tool for diagnosing prostate cancer in emerging countries, as an alternative to PSMA-PET.

Towards a new standard of care

Implementation of Clinical Registry using 99mTc-iPSMA SPECT imaging for patients with prostate cancer.

Key clinical applications for PSMA SPECT:

Primary staging in newly diagnosed high-risk prostate cancer

Patient selection for PSMA targeted radio-ligand therapy (RLT)

Treatment planning for localized external-beam radiation (XRT)

Prostate imaging in patients with suspected biochemical recurrence (BCR)

Monitoring or response to systemic therapy
