Logistics of Adopting Lu-Vipivotide Tetraxetan Therapy in a Community-Based Hospital Setting.

Prostate cancer is a leading cause of cancer death in men. Advanced disease may progress to metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. In March 2022, Lu-vipivotide tetraxetan was U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved for patients with prostate-specific membrane antigen-positive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer who have previously received other therapies, including androgen deprivation and taxane therapies. Although preliminary data for Lu-vipivotide tetraxetan has shown extension of overall survival of patients, there is little literature about realistically initiating Lu-vipivotide tetraxetan into non-academic-based clinical practices. This article presents a multidisciplinary practice implementation workflow for Lu-vipivotide tetraxetan. It also highlights the challenges and considerations for initiating such a theranostics practice. The aim of this work is to help nontertiary medical centers improve patient accessibility for beneficial radiopharmaceutical therapies, specifically Lu-vipivotide tetraxetan.
