[{"type":"text","content":" NORTH BILLERICA, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--\nLantheus Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: LNTH), the parent company of Lantheus Medical Imaging, Inc. and Progenics Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and a global leader in the development, manufacture and commercialization of innovative diagnostic and therapeutic agents and products, today announced that 17 abstracts highlighting PyL™ (18F-DCFPyL) have been selected for presentation at the virtual Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) 2020 Annual Meeting taking place July 11-14, 2020. PyL is the PSMA-targeted small molecule positron emission tomography (PET) imaging investigational agent designed to visualize prostate cancer, which the Company recently purchased as part of the oncology business of Progenics.\n\n\nThe abstracts to be presented at the meeting will feature data on PyL from two presentations based on Company-sponsored studies, including the positive results from the Phase 3 CONDOR trial evaluating the diagnostic performance and clinical impact of PyL in patients with biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer. A third abstract focuses on the digital solution the Company is developing in parallel with PyL to potentially support prostate cancer staging using an automated miPSMA Index of the PET/CT PyL-PSMA images.\n\n\n“Physicians and patients continue to experience an unmet need for diagnostic imaging that could assist in staging high risk prostate cancer and reliably detect recurrent or metastatic disease. The unmet need is particularly important among patients with low PSA values,” said Istvan Molnar, M.D., the Company’s Chief Medical Officer. “We believe that the demonstrated strong diagnostic performance of our PSMA-targeted PET imaging investigational agent, PyL, could provide clinicians with actionable information. In addition, the use of the widely available isotope fluorine-18 may result in broad patient accessibility. Data to be presented at SNMMI this year further highlights PyL’s clinical potential, including the positive Phase 3 results of the CONDOR study, which achieved its primary endpoint with a correct localization rate of 84.8% to 87.0% among the three blinded independent readers. We remain on track to submit a New Drug Application (“NDA”) with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for PyL in the third quarter of 2020.”\n\n\nSNMMI p...
