Imaging & Diagnostic Programs

uTRACE®

uTRACE® is Curasight’s uPAR-targeted imaging and diagnostic platform.

Individual imaging agents within the platform are defined by their specific ligand, chelator, radionuclide and intended use. The accumulated uTRACE® evidence supports the broader uPAR strategy, but individual imaging agents are not necessarily identical to, or paired one-to-one with, individual uTREAT® therapeutic product candidates.

Prostate cancer | partnered with Curium

The most advanced diagnostic program evaluates uTRACE® for non-invasive characterization of prostate cancer aggressiveness in patients in active surveillance. Earlier prospective clinical work demonstrated a significant relationship between uPAR PET uptake and Gleason grade. The prostate cancer indication is licensed to Curium, with development responsibilities allocated between the parties under their agreement.

uTRACE® and related nine uPAR PET clinical trials have imaged more than 500 patients across eight cancer settings.

Broader uTRACE® clinical evidence

Beyond prostate cancer, studies have investigated uPAR PET in glioma, head and neck cancer, neuroendocrine neoplasms, breast cancer, non-small cell lung cancer and bladder cancer, among other settings.

These studies are important to Curasight for two reasons: they evaluate uTRACE® as an imaging and prognostic tool of value in patient management, and they provide human data on where uPAR can be visualized as Curasight prioritizes future therapeutic indications.
