Uses

PLUVICTO is a radioligand therapeutic agent indicated: Metastatic Androgen Pathway Modulation-Naïve or -Sensitive (mAPMN/S) Prostate Cancer in combination with androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPI) therapy for the treatment of adult patients with prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-positive metastatic androgen pathway modulation-naïve or -sensitive (mAPMN/S) prostate cancer. Metastatic Androgen Pathway Modulation-Resistant (mAPMR) Prostate Cancer for the treatment of adult patients with PSMA-positive metastatic androgen pathway modulation-resistant (mAPMR) prostate cancer who have been treated with ARPI therapy, and are considered appropriate to delay taxane-based chemotherapy, or have received prior taxane-based chemotherapy.

How it works

Lutetium Lu 177 vipivotide tetraxetan is a radioligand therapeutic agent. The active moiety of lutetium Lu 177 vipivotide tetraxetan is the radionuclide lutetium-177 which is linked to a moiety that binds to PSMA, a transmembrane protein that is expressed in prostate cancer. Upon binding of lutetium Lu 177 vipivotide tetraxetan to PSMA-expressing cells, the beta-minus emission from lutetium-177 delivers radiation to PSMA-expressing cells, as well as to surrounding cells, and induces DNA damage which can lead to cell death.
