About the Phase 2 trial with uTRACE^® in prostate cancer

The primary objective of the phase 2 trial is to investigate Curasight's first-in-class PET tracer, 64Cu-DOTA-AE105 as a non-invasive grading tool of prostate cancer patients that are followed in active surveillance. Patients in active surveillance are continuously monitored for changes in the aggressiveness of their prostate cancer and can be followed for years without identifying the need for treatment. The trial design is informed from research and earlier studies with uTRACE^® as well as protocol discussions with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).  The phase 2 trial is part of the development framework agreed under the deal with Curium.   

About the uPAR diagnostic platform

The uTRACE^® platform is part of Curasights uPAR theranostic solution, made up of its uTRACE^® diagnostic technology and its uTREAT^® targeted treatment technology. In prostate cancer, uTRACE^® is presently developed for diagnostic purposes only. Curasight's ambition is to develop both uTREAT^® and uTRACE^® to improve diagnosis and treatment solutions of certain cancers.
