Radiopharmaceutical Market: Outlook

Radiopharmaceuticals are a class of radioactive substances that can be utilized for therapeutic purpose or diagnostic purpose. Moreover, radiopharmaceuticals find large-scale applications in breast cancer and neuroendocrine tumors. In addition to this, the product also finds myriad utility in nuclear medicine. However, administration of radiopharmaceuticals is systemic and they are projected to be restricted to particular tissues owing to its bio-molecular features. Additionally, radiopharmaceuticals actively emit radiation and this makes their storage difficult in comparison to non-radioactive pharmaceuticals. This has restricted use of radiopharmaceuticals.

This has driven growth of regional market. Acceptance of new technologies for radioisotope production for treating chronic ailments will result in expansion of radiopharmaceuticals market in countries such as the U.S.

Breakthroughs in Radiopharmaceutical Market

• In March 2022, GE Healthcare declared first patient dosed in its phase III clinical experiments for PET radiopharmaceutical imaging agents. It is likely to carry out clinical trial for SPECT radiopharmaceutical imaging agent in next phase. The strategic move is aimed at diagnosing adult population for Parkinson syndrome along with enhancing patient care services. Reportedly, GE Healthcare is planning to augment its radiopharmaceutical portfolio through these two pipeline radiopharmaceuticals, one for PET and another for SPECT.  
• In March 2022, Novartis AG won approval of U.S. Food and Drug Administration for selling radiopharmaceutical for treating advanced stage of prostate cancer.
• In April 2022, Iran has unleashed new generation of radiopharmaceutical referred as LU-177. It is developed by Iranian scientists and is used for diagnosing as well as curing various kinds of cancerous tissues. Moreover, LU-177 has ability to kill cancer tumor tissues by linking to tumor receptors. The mechanism of LU-177 is expected to prevent metastatis through disruption of circulating blood near tumors.
