About PLUVICTO
Mechanism of Action
Learn how PLUVICTO works
THE FIRST AND ONLY PSMA-targeted radioligand therapy for men with PSMA+ mCRPC who have been treated with androgen receptor pathway inhibitors and taxane-based chemotherapy.
Based on in vitro/in vivo studies. Preclinical activity does not correlate with clinical outcomes.
mCRPC, metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer; PSMA, prostate-specific membrane antigen; PSMA+, PSMA positive.
About PLUVICTO
PLUVICTO is a PSMA-targeted radioligand therapy that delivers DNA-breaking radiation directly to PSMA+ bone, nodal, or visceral metastases
DNA, deoxyribonucleic acid.
PLUVICTO targets PSMA-positive cells including prostate cancer cells1
PLUVICTO is comprised of 2 key components: Lutetium-177, a cytotoxic radionuclide, and PSMA-617, a PSMA-targeting ligand.1
PLUVICTO binds with high affinity to PSMA, a transmembrane protein overexpressed on prostate cancer cells.1 After binding to PSMA, PLUVICTO undergoes endocytosis and is internalized into the cell.1-4
Lutetium-177, the cytotoxic radionuclide of PLUVICTO, emits DNA-breaking radiation within the cell. The short path length of the radiation emitted by PLUVICTO, approximately 2 millimeters maximum,1 causes single- and double-stranded DNA breaks in the targeted cells as well as surrounding cells, which can lead to cell death.1,4-6
Scanning to confirm PSMA+ mCRPC is key to identifying patients who may benefit from PLUVICTO.1
CT, computed tomography; PET, positron emission tomography.
