Novartis experimental actinium-based drug shows promise in prostate cancer treatment: Study

Novartis' new experimental actinium-based drug shows promise against prostate cancer. Early data on Sunday revealed anti-tumour activity, even in patients who previously received Novartis' Pluvicto. Response rates were higher in patients without prior Pluvicto treatment. Larger trials are planned to assess side effects. Novartis is increasing its focus on radioligand therapies.
