I am taking the opportunity to make a small increase, as I had planned to increase the shares anyway. So it's very convenient for me today. Today spontaneously 50 shares $LNTH (+5.2%) . And probably another 50 in the coming weeks. 🤑🤞🏼
Lantheus Holdings announces a share buyback program of USD 400 million.
Lantheus has made several strategic moves in recent months:
Acquisitions:
1. in July, the company acquired Life Molecular Imaging. This gave Lantheus the Alzheimer's diagnostic Neuraceq and a global commercial infrastructure.
2. in April, Evergreen was acquired. This acquisition brought the PET imaging agent OCTEVY™ for neuroendocrine tumors and a manufacturing infrastructure for radioligand therapies to the company.
Sale:
3 In May, Lantheus announced an agreement to sell its SPECT business to Illuminated Holdings, Inc. This move is intended to allow the company to focus more on innovative PET diagnostics and radiopharmaceuticals.
FDA developments:
4. the Alzheimer's diagnostic Neuraceq received expanded approval from the FDA in June. It can now be used not only for diagnosis, but also to select suitable candidates for therapy and to monitor the course of the disease.
5. the FDA accepted an application for approval of a new formulation of the PET imaging agent piflufolastat F 18. This new formulation is intended to increase the batch size by around 50 % in order to be able to treat more patients.
6. another tau imaging agent, MK-6240, has met the primary endpoints in clinical trials. Lantheus plans to submit the marketing authorization application for this to the FDA in the third quarter of 2025.
