Notes

Added at stage 21 from therapy-discovered.xlsx (bulk PubMed search by isotope/therapy-type/known-agent, not individually researched yet) -- 9 articles found. Target/mechanism, clinical application, indications, approval and precursor fields still need per-agent research and are intentionally left empty. Compound class inferred from precursor name (not stated outright) -- PMID 36972439: 'conjugated with 20-fold molar excess of p-SCN-Bn-DOTA (Macrocyclics, Inc.) chelator'. Stage set/updated at stage 23 from PMID 41256994: '[177Lu]-Lu-DOTA-Trastuzumab is currently under clinical evaluation for radioimmunotherapy (RIT) for HER2-positive breast cancer.'. | Stage 29 (2026-09-14): merged lu177-trastuzumab into this row -- bare '[177Lu]Lu-trastuzumab' had 0 parsed syntheses of its own; its discovery cluster (4 Lu-177 PMIDs, via the '[Tb-161]Tb-trastuzumab' bulk-discovery group) overlaps 4 PMIDs with this agent's own discovery cluster, and the literature commonly names DOTA-trastuzumab and plain trastuzumab conjugates interchangeably. Its alternative-name spellings folded in above.
