Drug data last refreshed Yesterday · AI intelligence enriched 1w ago
LUMISIGHT (pegulicianine) is an intravenous small-molecule fluorescent imaging agent approved by the FDA in April 2024. It is a prodrug that remains optically inactive until cleaved by tumor-associated enzymes (cathepsins and matrix metalloproteases), producing a fluorescent signal at 675 nm to help surgeons visualize tumor tissue during procedures. The drug enables real-time optical guidance by exploiting the elevated protease activity in and around malignant cells compared to normal tissue.
LUMISIGHT is in early growth phase post-approval with minimal established market share, signaling opportunity for rapid team expansion in commercial and quality functions.
12.1 Mechanism of Action Pegulicianine is a prodrug that is optically inactive when intact and produces a fluorescent signal after its peptide chain is cleaved by cathepsins and matrix metalloproteases (MMPs). The levels of these enzymes are higher in and around tumor and tumor-associated cells…
