Key data from the Phase III PSMAfore trial investigating PluvictoTM (INN: lutetium (177Lu) vipivotide tetraxetan) as an earlier line of treatment for patients with prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-positive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who have not been exposed to a taxane-containing regimen will be presented. PSMAfore met its primary endpoint of radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) in December 2022, and data collection for the key secondary endpoint of overall survival (OS) is ongoing. Data from the primary rPFS analysis and the second interim OS analysis will be presented at ESMO (Free ESMO Whitepaper).

"Metastatic prostate cancer has a five-year survival rate of about 30 percent, and patients who progress despite taking androgen-receptor pathway inhibitor therapy need additional treatment options with reduced toxicity," said Jeff Legos, Executive Vice President, Global Head of Oncology and Hematology Development at Novartis. "Pluvicto is the first and only approved, targeted radioligand therapy to significantly extend life in patients with mCRPC who have been treated with ARPI therapy and taxane-based chemotherapy. We look forward to sharing new data from the Phase III PSMAfore trial, which adds to the growing body of evidence demonstrating the potential of our radioligand therapy platform in earlier lines of therapy."

Key highlights of data accepted by ESMO (Free ESMO Whitepaper) include:
