Evergreen Theragnostics Increases Alpha Radiopharmaceutical Production Capabilities

Evergreen Theragnostics, Inc., a leading radiopharmaceutical Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (CDMO) has started a major strategic expansion at its Springfield, NJ manufacturing facility.

Evergreen has already started expanding to build a GMP state-of-the-art alpha emitter production center, incorporated into Evergreen's current facility, with the Evergreen Springfield Facility scheduled to open within the next two months. The expansion, which is scheduled to open in the first quarter of 2022, will strengthen Evergreen's capacity to serve alpha-based radiopharmaceutical projects from pre-clinical pharmaceutical research through commercial production and supply. Evergreen's new alpha program will research and manufacture novel radiopharmaceuticals, including Actinium-225 (Ac-225), Astatine-211 (At-211), Lead-212 (Pb-212), and Thorium-227 (Th-227).

Targeted Alpha Therapy (TAT), which uses the radionuclides mentioned above, is a growing segment of therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals owing to its unprecedented promise of improving patient clinical outcomes in cancer. This new class of medicines, however, poses significant difficulties in both clinical development and manufacturing.

The new facility was created by combining Evergreen's expertise in clinical production of TAT radiopharmaceuticals with a collaboration with Tema Sinergie, a leading supplier of radiopharmaceutical manufacturing equipment. This resulted in developing specifically made production equipment to meet the challenges associated with manufacturing alpha-emitting radiopharmaceuticals in a complete cGMP environment.
