Curium

What Curium does

Curium is a privately-held pharmaceutical manufacturer specializing in radiopharmaceuticals for nuclear medicine, operating as part of the Curium Pharma corporation. The company develops both diagnostic and therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals, with a notable focus on prostate cancer through its proprietary PSMA-I&T platform. Its core products include 64Cu-PSMA-I&T, a PET imaging agent for prostate cancer diagnosis currently completing a registrational Phase 2 trial in Japan, and 177Lu-PSMA-I&T, a therapeutic counterpart intended for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer as part of a theranostic approach pairing diagnostics and targeted radionuclide therapy.

The company's technology foundation rests on radiochemistry expertise, isotope handling, and peptide-based targeting of cancer biomarkers such as prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA). Through strategic partnerships with Curasight A/S (uTRACE diagnostic platform, up to USD 70 million in potential milestones), PeptiDream Inc., and PDRadiopharma Inc. (Japan market access), Curium is building a globally distributed development and commercialization infrastructure spanning Europe, Japan, and North America. The firm operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary structure with regional entities including Curium Finland Oy (established 2017, Helsinki).

Curium generates revenue through direct B2B supply relationships with hospitals, clinics, and nuclear medicine departments, distributing radiopharmaceutical products through regulated medical supply chains that require specialized handling and compliance. Treatment pricing for radioligand therapies in this category ranges from approximately USD 95,000 in the EU to over USD 200,000 in the US per treatment episode, based on industry benchmarks. The company serves the broader oncology and nuclear medicine sectors, with primary emphasis on prostate cancer patients and the healthcare providers treating them, while pursuing additional indications through its partnership-driven pipeline.

Direct peers

• Novartis: Novartis develops and commercializes Pluvicto (177Lu-PSMA-617), the first FDA-approved PSMA-targeted radioligand therapy for mCRPC. Directly competes with Curium's 177Lu-PSMA-I&T in the same therapeutic indication and shares the radiopharmaceutical development paradigm.
• NorthStar Medical Radioisotopes: NorthStar produces medical radioisotopes including Mo-99/Tc-99m using non-uranium production methods. Comparable to Curium's radioisotope production capability for nuclear medicine supply chain.
• Lantheus Holdings: Lantheus is a leading radiopharmaceutical-focused company with PYLARIFY (18F-DCFPyL), a PSMA-targeted PET diagnostic for prostate cancer. Competes directly with Curium's 64Cu-PSMA-I&T in the PSMA imaging market and operates the same theranostic-aligned strategy.
• Curium Pharma (parent): Curium Pharma is the global parent entity of Curium Finland Oy, operating the broader radiopharmaceutical manufacturing business across multiple geographies. Directly comparable as the same corporate platform at the parent level.
• Telix Pharmaceuticals: Telix develops Illuccix (68Ga-PSMA-11) for PSMA PET imaging and is advancing TLX591 (177Lu-rosopatamab) for PSMA RLT, positioning it as a direct theranostic competitor to Curium's PSMA-I&T platform in prostate cancer.

Broad incumbents

• GE HealthCare: GE HealthCare operates a broad radiopharmaceutical and molecular imaging portfolio including PET tracers and the PETNET Solutions radiopharmacy network. Overlaps with Curium's diagnostic imaging business as a larger incumbent with diversified offerings across nuclear medicine.
• Bayer: Bayer markets Xofigo (223Ra) for prostate cancer bone metastases and has an active radiopharmaceutical pipeline. As a broad incumbent with significant oncology commercial infrastructure, Bayer is comparable to Curium in radiopharmaceutical manufacturing scale and oncology focus.
• Bracco Imaging: Bracco is a global leader in diagnostic imaging agents including iodinated and gadolinium-based contrast media and is expanding into radiopharmaceuticals. Comparable as a broad incumbent in imaging-related pharmaceutical manufacturing serving hospitals and imaging centers.

Others

• Cardinal Health Nuclear Pharmacy Services: Cardinal Health operates the largest U.S. radiopharmacy distribution network supplying unit-dose radiopharmaceuticals to hospitals. Relevant as a downstream channel partner and supply chain comparable for Curium's hospital distribution model.

Emerging players

• Curasight A/S: Curasight is a clinical-stage theranostic company developing the uTRACE platform for prostate cancer diagnosis and is a strategic partner of Curium (up to USD 70M in milestones). Partially overlaps with Curium's theranostic strategy as an emerging specialist in the same disease area.
