Current report
During 2024, we executed on our strategy to evolve into a fully integrated radiopharmaceutical company, supported by our increasingly diversified portfolio and our targeted initiatives to expand our pipeline, commercial, development and manufacturing capabilities. Over the course of the year and into 2025, we announced multiple strategic transactions, which furthered our goal to focus on new high growth markets and expand and diversify our capabilities and development pipeline with complementary assets. A brief description of these transactions is summarized below.
Current report
Pending Acquisition of Life Molecular Imaging
Current report
On January 13, 2025, we announced that we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Life Molecular Imaging Ltd. (“Life Molecular”). Life Molecular is based in Berlin, Germany and is dedicated to advancing novel PET radiopharmaceutical diagnostics. The definitive agreement provides for an upfront payment of $350.0 million and up to an additional $400.0 million in potential earn-out and milestone payments. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2025, subject to the satisfaction of customary regulatory and closing conditions.
Current report
Previously, on July 3, 2024,we acquired from Life Molecular the global rights to its clinical stage RM2, a gastrin-releasing peptide receptor (“GRPR”)-targeting agent, including the associated novel, clinical-stage radiotherapeutic and radiodiagnostic pair, previously referred to as 177Lu-DOTA-RM2 and 68Ga-DOTA-RM2 (and which we now refer to as LNTH-2402 and LNTH-2401, respectively), for an upfront payment of $35.0 million plus a $1.0 million payment made prior to the acquisition, and potential regulatory milestone payments plus royalties (the “RM2 Asset Purchase”). GRPR is a member of the bombesin G protein-coupled receptor family, which has been found to be overexpressed in multiple cancers, including prostate, breast and lung. First-in-human dosimetry showed a favorable safety and dosimetry profile and confirmed preclinical data demonstrating dose-dependent efficacy of LNTH-2402. We intend to begin a Phase 1/2a study with LNTH-2402 in prostate cancer patients in 2025. We expect LNTH-2401 could be used as a companion diagnostic, and that together, LNTH-2401 and LNTH-2402 could potentially allow us to enter into new disease areas.
Current report
For more information on the acquisition of the global rights to RM2, see Note 21, “Acquisition of Assets” to our consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8,“Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this Form 10-K.
Current report
On January 27, 2025, we announced that we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Evergreen Merger Agreement”) with Evergreen Theragnostics, Inc. (“Evergreen”) and Shareholder Representative Services LLC, pursuant to which we will acquire Evergreen by means of a statutory merger of our subsidiary with and into Evergreen, with Evergreen surviving as our wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Evergreen Merger”). Evergreen is a clinical-stage radiopharmaceutical company engaged in contract development and manufacturing services, as well as drug discovery and commercialization of proprietary products.
Current report
Pursuant to the Evergreen Merger Agreement, we will pay an upfront amount of $250 million, payable in cash at closing and subject to customary adjustments as set forth in the Evergreen Merger Agreement, and milestone payments in an aggregate additional cash amount of up to $752.5 million upon the occurrence of certain Milestone Trigger Events (as set forth in the Evergreen Merger Agreement). We also agreed to provide up to $18 million in unsecured loans to Evergreen on the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement. The Evergreen Merger is expected to close in the second half of 2025, subject to the satisfaction of customary regulatory and closing conditions.

Acquisition of NAV-4694
Current report
On June 18, 2024, we acquired Meilleur Technologies Inc. (“Meilleur”), including its asset NAV-4694, a late-stage investigational F-18-positron emission tomography (“PET”) imaging agent that targets beta amyloids in Alzheimer’s disease. Under the terms of the agreement, we paid the stockholders of Meilleur (“Meilleur Stockholders”) an upfront payment of $32.9 million and paid an additional $10.0 million in August 2024 after the successful completion of a technology transfer. We could pay additional milestone payments upon achievement of specified U.S. regulatory milestones related to NAV-4694. We could also pay double-digit milestone payments upon achievement of specified annual commercial sales and double-digit royalty payments for research revenue and commercial sales. Research revenue is derived from partnerships with pharmaceutical companies and academic institutions that use NAV-4694 in clinical trials. NAV-4694 is currently in Phase 3 development and is also being used in academic and industry sponsored clinical trials. We expect to submit an NDA for NAV-4694 in 2026.

Other Strategic Changes
Current report
As part of our evolution into a fully integrated radiopharmaceutical company, during 2024, we reviewed our current capabilities and skillsets and began implementing organizational changes deemed necessary to best position us to execute on our long-term strategy. These changes included transitioning approximately 60 employees out of the Company. In connection with these changes, we approved equity modifications that allowed grants of stock options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) issued to those impacted by this event to continue to vest in 2024 and 2025 with any unvested stock option and RSU grants as of December 31, 2025 to be cancelled. Total stockholder return awards granted to these individuals will continue to vest on their original vesting schedule but any shares issued will be issued in a pro-rated amount based on the time served during the performance period.
Current report
MK-6240
Current report
In 2024, we held a pre-NDA meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and we expect to submit an NDA for MK-6240 in 2025, but we can provide no assurance that we will meet that expected timeline, that our NDA will be accepted by the FDA, that MK-6240 will be approved by the FDA or, if approved, that we will be successful in commercialization.

Amendment of Credit Facility
Current report
In December 2024, we amended our five-year revolving credit facility (as amended, the “2022 Revolving Facility”). The amendment, among other things, extended the maturity date from December 2, 2027 to December 19, 2029, increased the 2022 Revolving Facility from $350.0 million to $750.0 million and increased the additional amount that we may request to add to the increased revolving commitment by $350.0 million. The amendment also, among other things, (i) reduces the ranges of margins based on our Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the 2022 Revolving Facility) used to calculate interest for the revolving loans and (ii) reduces the maximum unused commitment fee from 0.35% per annum to 0.30% per annum.
Current report
In November 2024, CMS released the final rule for its calendar year 2025 Medicare Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System (the “CMS 2025 OPPS Rule”), which recognizes the value and need for broad access to diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals. The rule provides separate payment for those diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals with per day costs greater than $630 based on mean unit cost (“MUC”) for the approximately 20% of patients with traditional Medicare FFS insurance coverage who are treated in the hospital outpatient setting. Effective January 1, 2025, CMS is maintaining separate payment for PYLARIFY based on MUC, which is lower than the ASP-based payments that were made during TPT Status.
Current report
•Expansion of Label – In March 2024, we received FDA approval for our supplemental new drug application for the use of DEFINITY in pediatric patients with suboptimal echocardiograms. The FDA decision was based on usage data from three pediatric clinical trials conducted with DEFINITY.
Current report
•Strategic Partnerships – We seek to monetize our assets through our Strategic Partnerships business, which includes biomarkers and digital solutions in support of our partners’ therapeutic development, out-licensing agreements for non-core assets and optimization of our assets geographically. For example, we licensed the commercialization rights for piflufolastat F-18 in Europe to Curium, where it is now commercialized under the brand name PYLCLARI, and for flurpiridaz, which received FDA approval in 2024 under the brand name Flyrcado, to GE Healthcare Limited (“GE Healthcare”).
Current report
•For MK-6240, we acquired the right to the investigational asset for an upfront payment of $35.3 million in February 2023 and an additional $10.0 million in May 2023 upon the successful completion of a technology transfer and will potentially make additional milestone and royalty payments. In 2024, we held a pre-NDA meeting with the FDA and are expecting to submit an NDA for MK-6240 in 2025.
Current report
•For NAV-4694, we acquired the rights to the investigational asset for an upfront payment of $32.9 million in June 2024 and an additional $10.0 million in August 2024 upon the successful completion of a technology transfer and will potentially make additional milestone and royalty payments.
Current report
•For RM2, we acquired global rights for an upfront payment of $35.0 million plus a $1.0 million payment made prior to the acquisition, and will potentially make additional milestone and royalty payments. We plan to initiate a Phase 1/2a study in prostate cancer patients in 2025.
Current report

Current report
In September 2024, GE Healthcare announced that it had received FDA approval of Flyrcado (flurpiridaz F-18) for coronary artery disease diagnosis.
Current report
General and administrative expenses increased $68.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the prior year period. This was primarily driven by an increase in investment in technology, primarily related to our implementation of a new enterprise resource planning system in 2024, higher stock compensation, increased employee-related costs, and higher professional fees primarily related to business development activity.
Current report
Research and development expenses increased $90.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared to the prior year period. This was primarily driven by in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) expense of $36.0 million related to the RM2 Asset Purchase, $2.0 million related to the Radiopharm Asset Purchase, and an upfront option payment of $28.0 million to Perspective. In addition, there was an increase in employee-related costs resulting from an increase in headcount and increased project costs, including MK-6240 research and development expenses. This increase was offset, in part, by a non-cash impairment charge in the prior year associated with an IPR&D asset of $15.6 million and lower clinical expenses related to our Phase 2 study we conducted for 1095, our PSMA-targeted iodine 131-labelled small molecule product candidate.
Current report
Gain on Sale of Assets
Current report
Gain on sale of assets includes a $6.3 million gain resulting from the sale of the Somerset Facility to Perspective in March 2024. In addition, we recorded a $2.1 million gain on sale of assets in December 2024 related to the sale of a portion of our North Billerica campus.

Previous report
On December 20, 2022, we announced the closing of a set of strategic collaborations with POINT Biopharma Global Inc. (“POINT”), in which we were granted a license to exclusive worldwide rights (excluding Japan, South Korea, China (including Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan), Singapore, and Indonesia) to co-develop and commercialize POINT’s PNT2002 and PNT2003 product candidates.
Previous report
On December 27, 2023, Eli Lilly announced the completion of its acquisition of POINT. The acquisition is no expected to impact the status of the PNT2002 License Agreement, the PNT2003 License Agreement, or the work being performed in connection with those agreements and our collaboration with POINT.
Previous report
With respect to PNT2002, POINT is generally responsible for funding and development activities required for FDA approval, including generating all clinical and nonclinical data, analysis and other information, and we are responsible for preparing for and seeking regulatory approval for PNT2002, as well as performing and funding all future development and commercialization following such approval. POINT will be responsible for all manufacturing of PNT2002, subject to certain exceptions described in the license and collaboration agreement between Lantheus Two and POINT, dated November 11, 2022 (the “PNT2002 License Agreement”).
Previous report
In April 2023, we announced with POINT that the FDA had granted Fast Track designation for PNT2002. Fast Track is a process designed to facilitate the development and expedite the review of drugs to treat serious conditions and address unmet needs.
Previous report
On December 18, 2023, we announced positive topline results from SPLASH, the Phase 3 registrational trial for PNT2002. SPLASH was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of PNT2002 in patients with mCRPC who have progressed following treatment with an androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (“ARPI”). The SPLASH trial met its primary endpoint, demonstrating a median radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) per blinded independent central review of 9.5 months for patients treated with PNT2002, compared to 6.0 months for patients treated with ARPI in the control arm, a statistically significant 29% reduction in the risk of radiographic progression or death (hazard ratio (“HR”) 0.71; p=0.0088). At the time of the analysis, interim overall survival (OS) results were immature (46% of protocol-specified target OS events reached), and the HR was 1.11. We expect more mature overall survival data in 2024 prior to the potential submission of a New Drug Application (“NDA”).
Previous report
PNT2002 demonstrated a favorable safety profile with grade ≥3 treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) per Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, serious TEAEs, and TEAEs leading to discontinuation occurring at lower rates in the PNT2002 arm than in the control arm (30.1%, 17.1%, and 1.9% versus 36.9%, 23.1%, and 6.2%, respectively).
Previous report
The open-label study randomized 412 patients with PSMA-expressing mCRPC who had progressed on ARPI therapy and either refused or were not eligible for chemotherapy, in a 2:1 randomization ratio. At the time of the analysis, 84.6% of patients who experienced progressive disease in the control arm subsequently crossed over to receive PNT2002. SPLASH was conducted across the U.S., Canada, Europe, and the United Kingdom. Eighty percent of SPLASH patients resided in North America and approximately ten percent of all participants were Black or African American.
Previous report
During 2023, we worked on establishing an EAP, for PNT2002. EAPs, which are also referred to as compassionate use programs, provide a potential pathway for patients with serious or life-threatening conditions to gain access to an investigational drug for treatment outside of a clinical trial. We expect to enroll the first patient in the EAP for PNT2002 during the first quarter of 2024.
Previous report
With respect to PNT2003, POINT is responsible for curating all data, analysis and other information necessary for regulatory approval, and supporting us in the preparation of regulatory filings. We are responsible for preparing for and seeking regulatory approval of all such applications, as well as performing and funding all future development and commercialization following such approval. POINT will be responsible for all manufacturing of PNT2003, subject to certain exceptions described in the license and collaboration agreement between Lantheus Three and POINT, dated November 11, 2022 (the “PNT2003 License Agreement”). On January 11, 2024, we announced that our ANDA for PNT2003 had been accepted for filing by the FDA. Based on the most recent update to the FDA’s online paragraph IV database listings, we believe we are the first applicant to have filed a substantially complete ANDA for Lutetium Lu 177 Dotatate containing a Paragraph IV certification under the provisions of the Hatch-Waxman Act. As the first applicant, we believe we will be eligible for 180 days of generic marketing exclusivity in the U.S. On January 26, 2024, we were sued in the District Court for the District of Delaware by Advanced Accelerator Applications USA, Inc. and Advanced Accelerator Applications SA, each a Novartis entity, for patent infringement in response to the Company’s ANDA filing and Paragraph IV certification, consistent with the process established by the Hatch-Waxman Act. Under the terms of the Hatch-Waxman Act, FDA approval of our ANDA filing could be subject to a stay of up to 30-months. If our filing is stayed for the full 30-month period and we are successful in obtaining FDA approval, we would expect to launch PNT2003 in 2026, although no assurance of that approval or timing can be assured.

Refinancing of 2019 Facility
Previous report
In December 2022, we refinanced our existing credit facility, consisting of (i) a $200.0 million five-year term loan facility (the “2019 Term Facility”) and (ii) a $200.0 million five-year revolving credit facility (the “2019 Revolving Facility” and, together with the 2019 Term Facility, the “2019 Facility”), with a new $100.0 million delayed draw term loan facility (the “2022 Term Facility” and, the loans thereunder, the “Term Loans”) and a new $350.0 million five-year revolving credit facility (the “2022 Revolving Facility” and, together with the 2022 Term Facility, the “2022 Facility”).
Previous report
We used approximately $7.8 million of cash on hand to primarily repay the principal amount of the loans outstanding related to the 2019 Facility through the nine months ended September 30, 2022. In addition, we used approximately $167.6 million of cash on hand to repay in full the aggregate remaining principal amount of the loans outstanding under the 2019 Facility and to pay related interest, transaction fees and expenses.
Previous report
While the 2022 Term Facility allowed for a delayed draw term loan, the loan was not drawn upon. We recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $0.6 million related to the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs and debt discounts associated with the 2019 Term Facility. In addition, we incurred and capitalized $2.7 million of new deferred financing costs related to the refinancing.

Global Mo-99 Supply
Previous report
We currently have Mo-99 supply agreements with Institute for Radioelements (“IRE”), running through December 31, 2024, with auto-renewal provisions that are terminable upon notice of non-renewal, and with NTP Radioisotopes (“NTP”), acting for itself and on behalf of its subcontractor, the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (“ANSTO”), running through December 31, 2024.
Previous report
Although we believe we have the most globally diverse Mo-99 supply with IRE in Belgium, NTP in South Africa, and ANSTO in Australia, we still face supplier and logistical challenges in our Mo-99 supply chain. When one supplier experiences outages, we generally rely on Mo-99 supply from the other suppliers to limit the impact of the outages. We believe we effectively manage these various supply chain challenges, but depending on reactor and processor schedules and operations, at times we have not been able to fill some or all of the demand for our TechneLite generators on certain manufacturing days. A prolonged disruption of service from one of our three Mo-99 processing sites or one of their main Mo-99-producing reactors could have a negative effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

As we continue to pursue expanding our strategic partnerships, our Pharma Solutions activities in oncology are designed to enable precision medicine using biomarkers and digital solutions that augment diagnostic productivity. For example, in prostate cancer, we collaborate with pharmaceutical companies by supplying them with piflufolastat F 18 for use in their therapeutic drug development programs. For immuno-oncology, we intend to offer NM-01, a novel technetium-99m SPECT imaging agent that we are developing to assess PD-L1 expression in cancer cells, for potential use as an efficacy and safety biomarker in immuno-oncology therapies. With respect to pan-oncology, we are further exploring the use of LNTH-1363S as an innovative imaging biomarker that targets fibroblast activation protein.
