ONCODESIGN announced a strategic collaboration agreement with Covalab. The combination of these fields of expertise has led to the launch of the DRIVE-MRT™ (Molecular RadioTherapy) offer incorporating the entire Drug Discovery process specialized in targeted systemic radiotherapy (Theranostics) from the generation of radio-labeled biological vectors, the optimization of leads and the generation of preclinical drug candidates through to the granting of IND and the designing and running of radiopharmaceutical clinical studies. The DRIVE-MRT solution allows the rationalization, design and optimizationof targeted radiopharmaceutical products that are effective against certain metastatic cancers. Since Lutathera, indicated for the treatment of inoperable or metastatic somatostatin receptor-positive gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NET), until the recent results reported to ASCO this year regarding the substantial increase in survival observed for 177Lu-labeled PSMA-ligand vectorized internal radiation therapy in patients with metastatic high-grade castrate-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), targeted vectorized radiotherapy is now attracting numerous players in the pharmaceutical industry as well as clinicians seeking effective treatments for metastatic diseases. According to a recent study1, the global vectorized radiotherapeutic product market should see growth of approximately 40% between 2019 and 2025, reaching an estimated $8.0 billion in 2025.
