DuChemBio Co., Ltd. (DCB), a leading radio-pharmaceutical company in Korea, and Nihon Medi-Physics Co., Ltd. (NMP), a leading radiopharmaceutical company in Japan, recently announced that they have entered into an exclusive agreement to develop, register and commercialize anti-1-amino-3-18F-fluorocyclo-butane-1-carboxylic acid (FACBC) in Korea.  FACBC is a radiopharmaceutical for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of recurrent prostate cancer.

FACBC has been granted marketing authorizations by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the US and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) in EU for imaging of men with suspected prostate cancer recurrence. Prostate cancer patients whose blood test for prostate-specific antigen (PSA) indicate that the cancer may have returned after the initial treatment, such as prostatectomy, usually undergo conventional imaging tests (e.g. CT, MRI, bone scintigraphy). However, the chances to find recurrent cancer lesions in such patients using conventional imaging are relatively low. FACBC-enhanced PET imaging is a proven diagnostic tool for highly optimal management of patients with suspected prostate cancer recurrence.
