- Priority Review is based on positive data from the pivotal, Phase III VISION study showing 177Lu-PSMA-617 plus standard of care (SOC), significantly improved overall survival and radiographic progression-free survival for men with progressive PSMA-positive mCRPC compared to SOC alone2
- Two additional studies with 177Lu-PSMA-617 in earlier lines of treatment for metastatic prostate cancer are ongoing, investigating clinical utility in the pre-taxane setting (PSMAfore) and in the metastatic hormone-sensitive setting (PSMAddition)3,4
The FDA previously granted Breakthrough Therapy designation for 177Lu-PSMA-617 for the treatment of mCRPC. Data from the VISION study were published in The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM).2 Novartis is also evaluating additional opportunities to investigate 177Lu-PSMA-617 in earlier stages of prostate cancer.
