The FDA stated that the agency cannot approve the NDA by the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) action date of June 29, 2026, due to unresolved third-party facility manufacturing-related conditions. The third-party facility is responsible for drug product manufacturing. Satisfactory resolution of the unresolved facility inspection-related conditions is required before the LNTH-2501 NDA may be approved.

The CRL did not identify any concerns regarding the data submitted by Lantheus in support of the application, nor did it identify any issues related to the safety or efficacy of LNTH-2501.

"We remain confident in LNTH-2501 and are committed to bringing this imaging agent to NETs patients and healthcare providers as soon as possible," said Mary Anne Heino, Executive Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer, Lantheus. "The feedback received from the FDA relates solely to our third-party manufacturer, and not to the clinical performance of the product. We are working closely with our partner and the Agency to address these facility manufacturing-related conditions and advance the program."

This would comprise a single pivotal study with faridoxorubicin in patients with salivary gland cancer (SGC), with progression-free survival (PFS) as the sole primary endpoint for full approval. Furthermore, the proposed study population includes both first- and second-line patients, in the most prevalent subsets of SGC, while more rare subsets (e.g. undifferentiated histology and mucinous tumor types) are excluded due to differing natural histories.

Christina Coughlin, CEO of Avacta, commented:

"Our recent constructive discussions with the FDA have resulted in a clear path forward for our Gen One product faridoxorubicin towards full approval, based on one pivotal trial with a single primary endpoint of PFS.

"This would allow the company to move directly to the pivotal trial when the Phase 1b data are mature, enabling time savings with the clear focus on PFS data to secure approval. It provides further clarity in our continuing conversations with potential partners, with a defined route through clinical development towards potential approval and commercialization.

"The FDA had previously agreed to lifting the lifetime maximum dosing with faridoxorubicin at US sites, based on its excellent safety profile and absence of severe cardiac toxicity. The Company remains committed to progressing faridoxorubicin into further clinical development only with the support of a partner."
