There we go, this is a great update! Pluvicto’s been the go-to standard, but new research like FC705 is totally blowing past it...
FC705, a new radioligand therapy for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), outperformed Pluvicto in phase 2 trials, achieving a 60.0% tumor response rate compared to Pluvicto’s 29.8% (and it works on both lymphnode and bone metastases, Pluvicto works only on lymphnode mets).
FC705 also showed a higher PSA 50 response rate of 73.3% versus Pluvicto’s 46.0%, indicating better disease control.
FC705 maintained a comparable safety profile with a 10.0% serious adverse reaction rate, slightly higher than Pluvicto’s 9.3%. A phase 3 IND application has been submitte in South Korea and a phase 2a trial in the U.S. is ongoing. The drug’s orphan designation may expedite conditional approval.
