Doctors across the United States who treat people with advanced prostate cancer can’t find supplies of a medicine that may help them live longer.
Pluvicto, a drug to treat metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, also known as mCRPC, is in such short supply that its maker, Novartis, said it cannot allow further supply until it can produce more of the drug. It has also had to reschedule people who were about to get their first doses. “We recognize that any rescheduled dose is distressing for patients and their loved ones and poses challenges for the treatment centers.
There is no cure for this advanced stage of cancer, but Pluvicto can help people live longer. When the drug got FDA approval in March 2022, Spratt said, there was a lot of excitement about its potential. His patients who had heard about the trials have been asking about it for years. One study from Novartis’ trials found that people who got the drug lived a median of about 15 months after diagnosis, four months longer than the median for people who didn’t get the treatment.
