Pluvicto Mechanism of Action [1]

Pluvicto®▼ (lutetium [177Lu] vipivotide tetraxetan) is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-positive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who have been treated with androgen receptor (AR) pathway inhibition and taxane-based chemotherapy or who are not medically suitable for taxanes.1

Locametz®▼ (gozetotide) is for diagnostic use only. Locametz, after radiolabelling with gallium-68, is a radioactive diagnostic agent indicated for the identification of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-positive lesions by positron emission tomography (PET) in adult patients with prostate cancer.2

 

Mechanism of Action (MoA)

Pluvicto is a PSMA-targeted radioligand therapy (RLT) that delivers DNA-damaging radiation to PSMA-positive bone, nodal, and visceral metastases.1,3–7

Pluvicto targets PSMA-positive cells, including prostate cancer cells1
