Perspective Therapeutics (CATX) said Thursday that the US Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, granted fast track designation for the development of PSV359, an experimental cancer treatment for adults with advanced tumors that cannot be removed through surgery or have spread to other parts of the body.
The investigational therapy is being studied in an ongoing Phase 1/2a trial in patients with advanced fibroblast activation protein-positive solid tumors, the company said.
The company said early human imaging data showed strong tumor uptake and rapid kidney clearance for PSV359.
The FDA's fast track program is aimed at accelerating the development and review of therapies for serious conditions with unmet medical needs, the company added.
Shares rose around 4.9% in premarket trading.
