Also known as: Lu-177 PSMA-617
Lutetium Lu 177 vipivotide tetraxetan is a PSMA-targeted radioligand therapy marketed as Pluvicto for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. It is used in PSMA-positive disease settings after androgen receptor pathway inhibitor therapy and in specific pre/post-taxane contexts. The FDA first approved this product in March 2022, with later expansion for earlier use.
Pluvicto (lutetium-177 vipivotide tetraxetan) received MHRA authorization for earlier use in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, while pooled trial data demonstrates improved progression-free survival without increased toxicity.
Former Novartis executive John Tsai has been appointed global head of R&D at Daiichi Sankyo, replacing Ken Takeshita effective April 1. Tsai brings over 25 years of leadership experience in drug development.
Radiopharmaceuticals are emerging as a promising therapeutic class in oncology, with theranostic approaches combining diagnostics and treatment gaining particular attention. Major pharmaceutical companies have invested billions in acquisitions while venture financing reached record levels.
