Next Generation Cancer Therapy with Ilumira

The future of cancer treatment is targeted and precise. And the future is now. Ilumira, SHINE’s non-carrier-added lutetium-177 (n.c.a. Lu-177), is the true power behind smarter cancer therapies. It’s a radioactive agent that, when paired with a cancer-seeking molecule, offers a new level of precision in fighting cancer. Ilumira's ability to precisely target cancer cells is paving the way for a brighter future where treatments are more effective and less harmful.

The Smart Bomb for Fighting Cancer

Ilumira works together with cancer-seeking molecules. The drug smartly delivers the isotope to cancer and its metastases. The isotope emits short-range radiation that selectively destroys cancer cells while sparing healthy tissue. Ilumira is already making a difference in cancer care globally, offering a more targeted and potentially gentler approach to fighting the disease.

PROVIDING A RELIABLE SUPPLY

Therapeutic Nuclear Medicine, Made with SHINE

Ilumira, our n.c.a. Lu-177, is produced in our U.S. facility, adhering to strict Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) and it meets or exceeds all European pharmacopeia monograph for lutetium. We submitted a Drug Master File to the U.S. FDA in 2022. We will expand production capabilities with our large-scale facility, Cassiopeia, coming online soon.

our UNIQUE POSITION

Vertically Integrated Lu-177 Production

We’re working on becoming the only vertically integrated manufacturer of lutetium-177 in the world. This means we're not just producing Ilumira -- we're also taking control of the entire process, from enriching the raw material (ytterbium-176) to irradiating it and refining the final product to meet customer specifications. This bold initiative aims to eliminate reliance on external nuclear reactors, ensuring a consistent and reliable supply of Lu-177 for the global market.
