177Lu n.c.a is used in Targeted Radionuclide Therapy in the field of Precision Oncology. By binding n.c.a. Lu-177 isotopes to tumor-specific targeting molecules, the resulting radiopharmaceutical targets the tumor and delivers precise cell-killing radiation that spares normal healthy tissue. Isotopia has developed a reliable and unique GMP method to produce a highly pure form of Lu-177. 177Lu n.c.a contains no Mercury (Hg) and no metastable Lu-177m, therefore there is no need for cost intensive clinical waste management.

Isotopia's CEO & Co-Founder Dr. Eli Shalom stated: This step supports Isotopia's global strategy to simplify and shorten the supply route to our customers. We are working intensively to complete our plan to establish a production site in each continent. This, to provide a total solution to pharma companies and hospitals together with labeling services. The production and labeling facility in Seibersdorf Laboratories will be the best solution for Europe, enabling Isotopia to deliver a reliable, flexible, and most important, secure land supply of a broad range of critical medical isotopes to European customers, starting with Lu177 n.c.a. We have found in Seibersdorf the best partner sharing the same vision to save lives".

Seibersdorf's CEO, Martina Schwaiger stated: "The new production agreement is an exciting opportunity for our organization and we are pleased to be working with Isotopia Molecular Imaging on this important sector of medical care."
