Heidelberg, Germany, July 3, 2024 – Full-Life Technologies (hereinafter referred to as “Full-Life Technologies”), a fully integrated international radiopharmaceutical therapy company, today announced its flagship radiopharmaceutical225Ac-FL-020 has been granted Fast Track Designation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This drug targets prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) for the treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).

 

The Fast Track program is dedicated to accelerating the development and regulatory approval of potential innovative therapies, promoting breakthrough treatments for serious diseases, and addressing urgent unmet medical needs. This designation highlights225The Innovative Potential of Ac-FL-020 in the Treatment of mCRPC. In the current medical landscape, effective therapeutic options for mCRPC remain limited, making this advancement particularly significant.

 

Dr. Steffen Heeger, Chief Medical Officer of Full-Life Technologies, stated: “The FDA granted225The Fast Track designation for Ac-FL-020 reflects the urgent need for innovative and effective therapies among patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). This designation will enable us to collaborate more closely with the FDA throughout the drug development process, thereby potentially accelerating225"The launch of Ac-FL-020 enables patients to benefit at an earlier stage."

 

225Ac-FL-020 employs targeted alpha therapy to precisely target cancer cells, thereby minimizing damage to healthy tissues. In preclinical models, radiolabeled FL-020 demonstrated excellent in vivo distribution characteristics, including high and sustained tumor uptake as well as rapid systemic clearance, in the LNCaP xenograft mouse model.225Ac-FL-020 demonstrates superior antitumor activity and an excellent safety profile. A Phase I clinical trial has been initiated to evaluate225To comprehensively evaluate the safety and tolerability of Ac-FL-020 and to thoroughly investigate its antitumor activity. Prior to this,225Ac-FL-020 received FDA approval for its Investigational New Drug (IND) application in May 2024.
