AMT aims to be a radiopharmaceutical Contract Development and Manufacturing Organisation (CDMO) for theranostic radiopharmaceuticals in Australia and New Zealand. Cyclotek executives and senior management will lead and support the business, leveraging their many years of CDMO experience with diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals; with ANSTO providing access to its licensed n.c.a. Lutetium-177 and expertise in research, product development and quality testing.
ANSTO’s CEO, Shaun Jenkinson, said, “Globally, there is a growing clinical interest in new therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals and AMT will position Australia to participate in this emerging market and to attract global pharmaceutical companies to conduct more clinical trials here.”

About n.c.a. Lutetium-177:
No carrier-added Lutetium-177 (n.c.a.177Lu) chloride, is a radiopharmaceutical precursor used in targeted radionuclide therapy for the treatment of various diseases, like cancer. When labelled with a tumour-specific targeting molecule (e. g. peptide or antibody), the targeted radiopharmaceutical binds to a tumour-specific receptor, according to the lock and key principle. n.c.a.177Lu has a half-life of 6.647 days and provides superior specific activity of more than 3,800 GBq/mg at End of Production (EOP). n.c.a.177Lu exhibits an extraordinary level of radionuclidic purity and does not contain metastable 177mLutetium circumventing cost intensive clinical disposal management. n.c.a.177Lu is manufactured by ANSTO in Australia.
