Illuccix® Approved in the United Kingdom
Gary Cook , MD, Professor of Molecular Imaging at Kings College London School of Biomedical Engineering & Imaging Sciences, commented, "PSMA-PET supply shortages in the UK and Europe have escalated over the past 12 months as demand increases, which has led to delays for men in urgent need of a scan to direct clinical management. It is great news that Telix can now help address this unmet need and improve equity of access in the UK through their Illuccix imaging agent and network distribution model."
Raphaël Ortiz, Chief Executive Officer, Telix International added, "PSMA-PET imaging is one of the most important developments in prostate cancer detection in recent years and we are delighted that we can now bring Illuccix to physicians and their patients across the UK. A key advantage of Illuccix is that the radioisotope (gallium-68) can be produced using a generator locally, taking just a few minutes with minimal equipment. Reliable service delivery combined with greater scheduling flexibility, including in non-metropolitan locations, will benefit patients, physicians and clinical sites in the UK."
Illuccix will be made available in the UK through Telix's exclusive distribution partner, Xiel Limited, a specialist distributor of nuclear medicine, radiotherapy and diagnostic radiology technologies across the UK and Ireland .
