177Lu-PNT2002 Meets Primary Endpoint in Phase III mCRPC Trial

177Lu-PNT2002 met its primary endpoint of radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) in the pivotal Phase III SPLASH trial (9.5 months vs 6.0 months, HR 0.71), in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) after progression on an androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPI). The control arm was an ARPI.

In addition to a significant improvement in efficacy, 177Lu-PNT2002 demonstrated a favorable safety profile with grade ≥3 treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs). Notably, the 177Lu-PNT2002 dose is lower than 177Lu-PSMA-617 (Pluvicto) in the Phase III PSMAfore trial, which Novartis presented at ESMO 2023 and also shared in a press release.

In the press release by Lantheus and press release by POINT Biopharma, the companies expect follow-up data in 2024 prior to the potential submission of a New Drug Application (NDA). Overall, the SPLASH study results demonstrate that 177Lu-PNT2002 has the potential to play an important role in addressing an urgent unmet need for patients with mCRPC who have progressed on an ARPI.
