Enables Lantheus to focus on innovative radiopharmaceuticals, while maximizing the value of its SPECT business
SHINE will acquire products TechneLite&#xAE;, NEUROLITE&#xAE;, Xenon Xe-133 Gas, and Cardiolite&#xAE;
BEDFORD, Mass., May 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lantheus Holdings, Inc. ("Lantheus" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LNTH#NASDAQ">LNTH</a>), the leading radiopharmaceutical-focused company dedicated to helping clinicians Find, Fight, and Follow disease to deliver better patient outcomes, today announced a definitive agreement to sell its single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) business to Illuminated Holdings, Inc., the parent company of SHINE Technologies, LLC (collectively, "SHINE"). Under the terms of the agreement, SHINE will acquire Lantheus' SPECT business, including its diagnostic agents (TechneLite&#xAE; (Technetium Tc 99m generator), NEUROLITE&#xAE; (Kit for the Preparation of Technetium Tc 99m Bicisate for Injection), Xenon Xe-133 Gas (Xenon Xe-133 Gas), and Cardiolite&#xAE; (Kit for the Preparation of Technetium Tc99m Sestamibi for Injection)), the portion of the North Billerica, Massachusetts campus that manufactures Lantheus' SPECT products, and the SPECT-related Canadian operations.
The transaction allows Lantheus to focus on growing its commercial portfolio of innovative PET radiodiagnostics and microbubbles, while advancing its pipeline of radiopharmaceuticals. SHINE is a global leader in nuclear medicine production and, with its proven expertise in developing next-generation fusion and fusion-based technology and sustainable medical isotope supply chains, is the ideal partner to ensure the continuity and expansion of the SPECT business.
Under terms of the agreement, Lantheus will receive an upfront cash payment, a note convertible into SHINE preferred stock, and additional consideration, including potential earnout milestones. The transaction has been approved by the Boards of Directors of both companies and is expected to close by the end of the year, subject to customary closing conditions.

Lantheus Holdings, Inc.&nbsp;("Lantheus") (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LNTH#NASDAQ">LNTH</a>), the leading radiopharmaceutical-focused company committed to enabling clinicians to Find, Fight and Follow disease to deliver better patient outcomes, today announced that its clinical-stage F18-labeled tau Positron Emission Tomography (PET) radiodiagnostic, MK-6240 (F18-florquinitau), successfully met its co-primary endpoints in two pivotal studies assessing its sensitivity and specificity. This achievement reinforces the potential of MK-6240 as a valuable diagnostic tool. The data from these two studies will support a New Drug Application (NDA) submission to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) expected to be filed in the third quarter of 2025.

A global collaboration agreement has been signed for the development and commercialization of a Granzyme B-targeted Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging radiotracer.
This radiotracer has the potential to support the monitoring of patient immune response and supports the accelerated development for CytoSite.
CytoSite will lead initial clinical development with Lantheus having an exclusive option to acquire worldwide development and commercialization rights to the radiotracer.
BOSTON, March 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- CytoSite Bio (CytoSite) announced today that they have signed a collaboration agreement for the clinical development and potential commercialization of CytoSite's investigational Phase 1 ready granzyme B-targeted Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging tracer with Lantheus Holdings, Inc. This agreement provides Lantheus with an exclusive option to license worldwide rights to CytoSite's novel imaging technology.
The two companies will collaborate on clinical development, with Lantheus having the option to acquire exclusive worldwide rights for further development and commercialization of the product. Under the terms of the agreement, CytoSite is eligible to receive payments for development, regulatory and commercial milestones, plus royalties on future product sales.
Granzyme B is an enzyme released upon activation of immune cells to destroy harmful cells, including cancer. Early studies of the investigational imaging tracer have shown potential to evaluate whether immunotherapies are working effectively to activate the immune system. This investigational PET imaging radiotracer could enable physicians to measure the early efficacy of such therapies within days of first dose and modify treatment accordingly rather than waiting for months to fully understand if the treatment is working. Additionally, pharmaceutical developers can use the investigational imaging tracer to gain an early read-out of efficacy for new therapies, enabling faster decision-making and more efficient allocation of resources.

<h3>Exploring the Significance of Insider Trading</h3>
It's important to note that insider transactions alone should not dictate investment decisions, but they can provide valuable insights.
When discussing legal matters, the term "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities, as stipulated in Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and significant hedge funds. Such insiders are required to report their transactions through a Form 4 filing, which must be completed within two business days of the transaction.
A new purchase by a company insider is a indication that they anticipate the stock will rise.
On the other hand, insider sells may not necessarily indicate a bearish view and can be motivated by various factors.
<h3>Cracking Transaction Codes</h3>
When dissecting transactions, the focal point for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> is often those occurring in the open market, meticulously detailed in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C indicates the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.
