In noting that existing data have been derived mainly from single center, retrospective studies, a call for prospective multi‐center studies has been re‐iterated to validate these observations,” said Eugene J. Teoh, MBBS, MRCP, FRCR, D.Phil., Chief Medical Officer of Blue Earth Diagnostics. “18F‐Fluciclovine holds potential clinical utility for the detection of other cancers besides recurrent prostate cancer. As an amino acid‐based PET radiopharmaceutical, 18F‐fluciclovine is designed to visualize the increased amino acid transport that occurs in malignant tumors and we eagerly await the results of the REVELATE and PURSUE clinical trials.” About the REVELATE and PURSUE Clinical Trials in Brain Metastases Blue Earth Diagnostics has two clinical studies investigating the use of 18F‐fluciclovine PET in the detection of recurrent brain metastases. The REVELATE study (“Study to Establish the Diagnostic Performance of 18F‐fluciclovine PET in Detecting Recurrent Brain Metastases”) is an open‐label, single‐ arm, single‐dose, prospective, multi‐center Phase 3 study designed to establish the diagnostic performance of 18F‐fluciclovine PET in detecting recurrent brain metastases after radiation therapy. The primary endpoint of the REVELATE study is to assess the Negative Percent Agreement (NPA, equivalent to specificity) and Positive Percent Agreement (PPA, equivalent to sensitivity) of 18F‐fluciclovine PET in detecting recurrent brain metastases on a patient level. Secondary endpoints will assess the Positive Predictive Value (PPV) and Negative Predictive Value (NPV) of 18F‐fluciclovine PET for detecting recurrent brain metastases, among others. The Phase 2 PURSUE trial is designed to establish image interpretation criteria for 18F‐fluciclovine PET in detecting recurrent brain metastases. Further information about these trials can be found on www.clinicaltrials.gov (REVELATE, NCT04410133, PURSUE, NCT04410367 ). About 18F‐Flucivlovine PET and Recurrent Brain Metastases 18F‐flucivlovine PET is a novel diagnostic imaging radiopharmaceutical for PET imaging to visualize the increased amino transport that occurs in malignant tumors. It consists of a synthetic amino acid that is preferentially taken up by cancer cells compared with surrounding normal tissues and is labeled with the radioisotope 18F for PET imaging. 18F‐flucivlovine is under investigation by Blue Earth Diagnostics for potential use in adults for the detection of recurrent brain metastases in patients who have previously undergone radiation therapy. 18F‐fluciclovine is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and in the EU for PET imaging in men with recurrent prostate cancer. 18F‐fluciclovine was invented at Emory University, in Atlanta, Ga., with much of the fundamental clinical development carried out by physicians at Emory University’s Department of Radiology and Imaging Sciences. Blue Earth Diagnostics licensed 18F‐fluciclovine from GE Healthcare and is investigating the molecule for other potential cancer indications, including in neuro‐oncology.
