Consensus Treatment Pathways

Advanced treatment selection incorporating NCCN v2.2024, RECIST 1.1, PWG3, genomic biomarkers, and latest clinical trial evidence.

Evidence Update: Incorporates PSMAfore (2025), TheraP (2024), PROpel (2024), and genomic-guided therapy recommendations. Treatment selection now includes patient preferences, QoL considerations, and genomic integration.

Clinical Stage & Patient Characteristics

Evidence-Based 2024

Disease Stage

Prior Therapies

Influences sequencing recommendations (Tablazon et al., 2019)

Metastatic Pattern & Biomarkers

Eligibility simplification: SUVmax ≥10 is TheraP-like; VISION used visual uptake > liver (not a fixed SUVmax cutoff).

Organ Function & Performance

Lu-177 requires ≥9, Ra-223 requires ≥10

Lu-177/Ra-223 require ≥100

Lu-177 requires ≥30, dose adjustment 30-60

Patient Preferences & Goals

Evidence-Based Algorithm Methodology

Treatment Selection Algorithm

  • Patient Fit Score (0-100%): Combines organ function, ECOG, genomic profile, and preferences
  • Evidence anchoring: trial medians/HRs are displayed as context (Phase 3 when available)
  • Sequencing Logic: Considers cross-resistance, prior responses, and genomic evolution
  • QoL context: trial-reported QoL/pain endpoints are displayed as context (not individualized prediction)

Key Evidence Updates (2024-2025)

  • - PSMAfore: Lu-177-PSMA in taxane-naïve mCRPC (rPFS HR ~0.41–0.49)
  • - TheraP: Lu-177-PSMA vs cabazitaxel (66% vs 37% PSA50)
  • - PROpel: Olaparib + abiraterone (rPFS HR 0.66, ITT; larger benefit in BRCA/DDR subgroups)
  • - LuPARP: PARPi + Lu-177-PSMA (early phase; PSA50 rate not robustly published)

Algorithm Validation & Restrictions

Evidence basis: rules are derived from published guidelines/trials and expert consensus; not clinically validated on an external patient dataset.

Use: decision support for fast triage and discussion; not a substitute for MDT judgment.

Restrictions: Not for use in NEPC, non-metastatic disease, or investigational settings only

Update Frequency: Quarterly incorporation of new trial results and guidelines

Algorithm Validation & Methodology

Validation: not clinically validated on an external patient cohort (evidence-based rules + disclaimers).

Evidence anchoring: prioritizes Phase 3 trial anchors when available; otherwise uses guideline/review evidence and explicit disclaimers.

Update Frequency: Quarterly incorporation of new evidence

Restrictions: Not for NEPC, non-metastatic disease, or investigational use only

Disclosure: For educational purposes. Clinical decisions require physician judgment.

Clinical Decision Support Tool

This tool provides evidence-based recommendations but does not replace clinical judgment. All recommendations should be reviewed by a qualified oncologist and discussed with the patient. Consider patient preferences, comorbidities, and individual circumstances in final treatment decisions.
