In the letter, the company said that it currently only manufactures Pluvicto in Italy in "small batches," and is awaiting FDA approval on a new manufacturing site. That approval was expected to come in four to six months, Novartis said.
Novartis said that any issues caused by weather or "unplanned manufacturing events" can cause delays. The company noted there is only a "five-day window" for the drug to reach the patient once its manufactured. The company said it is currently prioritizing "patients who have received their first doses and are currently in the treatment process."
