On March 23, 2022, the FDA approved Pluvicto (lutetium Lu 177 vipivotide tetraxetan, also known as 177Lu-PSMA-617) for the treatment of adult patients with prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-positive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who have been treated with androgen receptor pathway inhibition and taxane-based chemotherapy. The recommended 177Lu-PSMA-617 dose is 7.4 gigabecquerels (GBq; 200 mCi) intravenously every 6 weeks for up to six doses, or until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The FDA granted traditional approval based on VISION (NCT03511664), which was a randomized (2:1), multicenter, open-label trial that assessed the efficacy and safety of 177Lu-PSMA-617 plus best standard of care (BSoC; n ¼ 551) or BSoC alone (n ¼ 280) in men with progressive, PSMA-positive mCRPC. Patients were required to have received ≥1 androgen receptor pathway inhibitor, and one or two prior taxane-based chemotherapy regimens. There was a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in overall survival (OS), with a median OS of 15.3 months in the 177Lu-PSMA-617 plus BSoC arm and 11.3 months in the BSoC arm, respectively (HR: 0.62; 95% confidence interval: 0.52–0.74; P < 0.001). The most common adverse reactions (≥20%) occurring at a higher incidence in patients receiving 177Lu-PSMA-617 were fatigue, dry mouth, nausea, anemia, decreased appetite, and constipation. The most common laboratory abnormalities that worsened from baseline in ≥30% of patients receiving 177Lu-PSMA-617 were decreased lymphocytes, decreased hemoglobin, decreased leukocytes, decreased platelets, decreased calcium, and decreased sodium. This article summarizes the FDA review of data supporting traditional approval of 177Lu-PSMA-617 for this indication.
