The non-responder gap matters for two reasons: First, patients who are in an advanced stage of cancer lose valuable time in ineffective therapy. Second, it increases the cost of therapy and resources for both patients and the broader healthcare ecosystem.
Small practices play a critical role in healthcare delivery, but they cannot continue to absorb ever-increasing administrative demands without consequences.
Aktis Oncology’s IPO will support a pipeline of “miniprotein” radioconjugates that could offer advantages over other targeted radiation cancer treatments. In addition to its internal pipeline, Aktis has a discovery partnership with Eli Lilly.
From the executive boardrooms of pharma companies to academic research centers, one fact is becoming unmistakably clear: making radiopharmaceuticals is an inherently complex, high-stakes endeavor, and the industry is racing to manage the risks of these perishable therapies before the clock runs out
Sanofi is licensing a RadioMedix radiopharmaceutical in development for neuroendocrine tumors. The French pharmaceutical giant is responsible for global commercialization of the therapy, a potential competitor to the Novartis radiopharmaceutical Lutathera.
Eli Lilly is paying $140 million for the exclusive right to buy Radionetics Oncology for the price of $1 billion. The clinical-stage startup, a Crinetics Pharmaceuticals spinout, develops radiopharmaceuticals that target GPCRs overexpressed by solid tumors.
Enterprise EHR boosts scalability, interoperability, and governance for large healthcare systems.
As the innovative, multi-billion dollar industry expands rapidly, pharma companies must consider how to deliver and differentiate.
AstraZeneca’s Fusion Pharmaceuticals acquisition is the latest in a wave of M&A activity that includes recent deals by Eli Lilly and Bristol Myers Squibb. The lead Fusion program is in mid-stage clinical development for treating advanced prostate cancer.
With increased access to cutting-edge imaging, improved treatment options, greater personalization of treatment, reduced radiation exposure, and potential for future advances, patients can expect to receive more advanced medical care tailored to their specific needs through radiopharmaceuticals.
Acquiring Point Biopharma gives Eli Lilly a pipeline of radiopharmaceuticals, including one for prostate cancer that could rival Novartis’s Pluvicto. The deal comes ahead of an expected Phase 3 data readout for that Point therapeutic candidate.
RayzeBio’s IPO will support pivotal testing of a targeted radiopharmaceutical for cancer patients who progress after treatment with Novartis’s Lutathera. Neumora will apply its IPO cash toward Phase 3 testing of a depression drug with a novel mechanism of action.
Abdera Therapeutics emerged from stealth with technology that improves the way antibodies deliver radiopharmaceuticals for cancer. A lead program with preclinical proof-of-concept data in small cell lung cancer is on track to reach the clinic in 2024.
Novartis is partnering with Bicycle Therapeutics to see if the biotech’s technology can be used to develop better, more targeted radiopharmaceuticals. The deal covers two targets that were not disclosed.
Radiopharmaceuticals deploy radiation to damage cancer DNA, but Curie Therapeutics sees these therapies opening the door to a wider range of ways to kill tumors. The startup has raised $75 million in Series A financing to advance its research.
Radiopharmaceuticals are highly specialized and require equipment, facilities, personnel, licensing and training that is significantly different from traditional pharmaceutical manufacturing.
