Eckert & Ziegler gains European approval for Theralugand

27 November 2024

Berlin, Germany-based Eckert & Ziegler Radiopharma has received approval of its proprietary non-carrier added Lutetium-177 chloride, Theralugand, by the European Commission (EC).

This enables the use of the radiopharmaceutical medicinal product Theralugand in routine clinical applications throughout the European Economic Area (EEA).

The company said that Theralugand provides high-purity Lutetium-177 produced in compliance with good manufacturing practice (GMP) standards with specifications designed for the labelling of therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals. The approval unlocks its potential to support innovative cancer therapies such as those targeting neuroendocrine tumors and metastatic prostate cancer. The previous, GMP-certified Lutetium-177 was limited to investigational use in clinical studies.
