Overview

Pluvicto is a medicine used to treat cancer of the prostate (a gland of the male reproductive system). It is used when the cancer is metastatic (spreading to other parts of the body), progressive, castration-resistant (worsens despite treatment to lower levels of the male sex hormone testosterone), and the cancer cells have a protein called prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) on their surface (PSMA-positive prostate cancer).

Pluvicto is used together with androgen deprivation therapy (treatment to lower male sex hormones) in adults previously treated with androgen receptor pathway inhibitors (medicines for prostate cancer), and a medicine of the group of cancer medicines known as taxanes. Androgen receptor pathway inhibitors may also be added to Pluvicto and androgen deprivation therapy.

Pluvicto is a radiopharmaceutical (a medicine that gives off a small amount of radioactivity) that contains the active substance lutetium (177Lu) vipivotide tetraxetan.
