Notes

Added at stage 22: promoted from 'Reported once' (single-article, no diagnostic pair at discovery) because a full-text synthesis with extracted data exists in parsed-therapy.xlsx -- PMID(s): 41460404. 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 41460404: 'PEG-DOTA-Nb159 or Gly3-PEG3-Lys(Azide)-PEG3-K(DOTA) substrate was labeled with Lutetium-177 (177Lu)'. Stage set/updated at stage 23 from PMID 41460404: 'for therapeutic evaluation in mice bearing FAP-positive U87 tumor xenografts.'.
