+Added: The commercial launch of PYLARIFY has been complex and expensive.
During 2021, we hired additional employees to assist us with the commercialization of PYLARIFY, including in sales, marketing, reimbursement, quality and medical affairs.
−Removed: To manufacture PYLARIFY, we have assembled and are qualifying a nationwide network of PMFs with radioisotope-producing cyclotrons that make fluorine-18, which has a 110-minute half-life, so PYLARIFY is manufactured and distributed rapidly to end-users.
−Removed: After being made on a cyclotron at a PMF, the F 18 is then combined with certain chemical ingredients in specially designed chemistry synthesis boxes to manufacture PYLARIFY, which is then transferred to a radiopharmacist who prepares and dispenses patient-specific doses of the final product.
−Removed: Because each of the PMFs manufacturing these products is deemed by the FDA to be a separate manufacturing site, each has to be approved by the FDA.
−Removed: Although we are able to provide PYLARIFY in the regions listed above, we can give no assurance that the FDA will continue to approve PMFs in accordance with our planned roll-out schedule.
−Removed: If FDA approval of manufacturing sites is delayed, our future business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could be adversely affected.
−Removed: In addition, obtaining adequate reimbursement for PYLARIFY will be critical, including not only coverage from Medicare, Medicaid and other government payors, as well as private payors, but also appropriate payment levels, which adequately cover the

−Removed: We also expect that the approval of PYLARIFY in May 2021 and subsequent launch will result in increased revenues.
−Removed: Our business and financial performance have been, and continue to be, affected by the following:
−Removed: COVID-19 Pandemic
−Removed: The global COVID-19 pandemic has had, and may continue to have, a material impact on our business.
−Removed: Towards the end of the first quarter of 2020 we began to experience, and through the date of this filing we are continuing to experience, impacts to our business and operations related to the COVID-19 pandemic, including the impact of stay-at-home mandates and advisories, and a decline in the volume of certain procedures and treatments using our products.
−Removed: For example, there has been a substantial reduction in pulmonary ventilation studies in which our product, Xenon, is used because of institutional concerns and professional society guidelines relating to the possible spread of COVID-19 to technicians and other patients, given that Xenon is both inhaled and exhaled by the patient.
−Removed: As a result, Xenon sales have decreased significantly.
−Removed: In March 2021, the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Medical Imaging (“SNMMI”), updated its guidance regarding in-hospital respiratory inhalation procedures administered (or performed) during the pandemic, modifying its previous position.
−Removed: Based on advances in testing and procedural protocols since the onset of the pandemic as well as increasing vaccination rates, SNMMI now allows that under appropriate conditions for safe administration, pulmonary ventilation studies can be performed where necessary to reach a definitive diagnosis for a patient.
−Removed: Notwithstanding this change in March 2021, our Xenon sales through the third quarter of 2021 continued to be at reduced levels, and we expect these reduced levels to continue for at least as long as COVID-19 precautions remain in place.
−Removed: We can give no assurance that Xenon sales will return to historic levels.
−Removed: As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we undertook a thorough analysis of all our discretionary expenses.
−Removed: In the first quarter of 2020, we implemented certain cost reduction initiatives.
−Removed: For most of the second quarter of 2020, we reduced our work week from five days to four days and reduced the pay for our personnel by varying amounts, depending on level of seniority.
−Removed: During the second quarter of 2020, Progenics also implemented certain cost reduction initiatives, and new enrollment in the ARROW Phase 2 study of 1095 in mCRPC patients was paused to minimize the risk to subjects and healthcare providers during the pandemic.
−Removed: New enrollment in that study restarted in October 2020.
−Removed: GE Healthcare, our development and commercialization partner for flurpiridaz F 18, also delayed enrollment in the second Phase 3 clinical trial because of the pandemic and resumed enrollment in the third quarter of 2020.
−Removed: Although some of the restrictions, including stay-at-home mandates, imposed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic have been lifted in much of the United States, and there has been a rapid rollout and development of certain vaccines, the resurgence of COVID-19 infections did impact certain aspects of our business during the third quarter of 2021 and the pandemic could still have a future negative impact on our business, particularly if there are additional resurgences as a result of mutations or other variations to the virus that increase its communicability or its impact on certain populations, geographic regions and the healthcare system, including elective procedures and hospital access.
−Removed: While we are currently unable to estimate the impact of COVID-19 on our overall 2021 operations and financial results, we ended the third quarter of 2021 with $91.5 million of cash and cash equivalents.
−Removed: With our available liquidity and prudent expense management, we currently believe that we have sufficient financial resources to operate our business, support our customers, launch PYLARIFY as a new commercial product, and support the continued development of our product candidate pipeline, although we can give no assurances that we will have sufficient liquidity for all of these items, as the future trajectory of the pandemic is unknown and may affect our liquidity.
+Added: To manufacture PYLARIFY, we assembled and qualified a nationwide network of PMFs with radioisotope-producing cyclotrons that make F 18, which has a 110-minute half-life, so PYLARIFY is manufactured and distributed rapidly to end-users.
+Added: After being made on a cyclotron at a PMF, the F 18 is then combined with certain chemical ingredients in specially designed chemistry synthesis boxes to manufacture PYLARIFY.
+Added: The finished PYLARIFY is then quality control tested and transferred to a radiopharmacist who prepares and dispenses patient-specific doses of the final product.
+Added: Because each of the PMFs manufacturing these products is deemed by the FDA to be a separate manufacturing site, each has to be separately approved by the FDA.
+Added: Although PYLARIFY is now broadly available nationwide and we continue to qualify additional PMFs, we can give no assurance that the FDA will continue to approve PMFs in accordance with our planned roll-out schedule.
+Added: If FDA approval of manufacturing sites is delayed or withdrawn, our future business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could be adversely affected.
+Added: In addition to the network of PMFs, we have also been working with academic medical centers in the U.S.
+Added: that have radioisotope-producing cyclotrons and which have expressed an interest in manufacturing PYLARIFY.
+Added: Under this initiative, we enter into a fee-for-service arrangement under which the academic medical center’s PMF manufactures and supplies batches of PYLARIFY, and its radiopharmacy prepares patient-ready unit doses, in each case for and on behalf of us.
+Added: We then sell those unit doses to the academic medical center’s hospitals and clinics, and in some instances, to additional customers in the academic medical center’s geographic area, in each case, under separate purchase agreements.
+Added: The academic medical center’s PMF’s ability to manufacture and supply batches of PYLARIFY is subject to FDA approval, and we can give no assurance that the FDA will approve such PMFs in accordance with our planned roll-out schedule.
+Added: Our commercial launch also required obtaining adequate coding, coverage and payment for PYLARIFY, including not only coverage from Medicare, Medicaid and other government payors, as well as private payors, but also appropriate payment levels, to adequately cover our customers’ costs of using PYLARIFY in PSMA PET/CT imaging procedures.
+Added: We received notification that our Healthcare Procedure Coding System (“HCPCS”) code, which enables streamlined billing, went into effect as of January 1, 2022.
+Added: In addition, effective January 1, 2022, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) granted Transitional Pass-Through Payment Status in the hospital outpatient setting (“TPT Status”) for PYLARIFY, enabling traditional Medicare to provide an incremental payment for PET/CT scans performed with PYLARIFY in that setting.
+Added: TPT Status for PYLARIFY is expected to expire December 31, 2024.
+Added: After TPT Status expires, under current Medicare rules, PYLARIFY, similar to other diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals, would not be separately reimbursed in the hospital outpatient setting but rather would be included as part of the facility fee a hospital otherwise receives for a PET/CT imaging procedure, and the facility fee does not always adequately cover the total cost of the procedure.
+Added: We can give no assurance that any CMS reimbursement in the hospital outpatient setting that follows the expiration of TPT Status will be adequate to cover the cost of a PYLARIFY PET/CT imaging procedure.
+Added: We actively pursue patents in connection with PYLARIFY, both in the U.S.
+Added: and internationally.
+Added: for PYLARIFY, we have four Orange Book-listed patents, including composition of matter patents, which expire in 2030 and 2037.
+Added: Outside of the U.S., we are currently pursuing additional PYLARIFY patents to obtain similar patent protection as in the U.S.
+Added: PYLARIFY AI Clearance and Use
+Added: During 2021, we also announced that our subsidiary, EXINI, was granted 510(k) clearance by the FDA in the U.S.
+Added: and received CE marking in Europe for aPROMISE.
+Added: We commercially launched aPROMISE under the name PYLARIFY AI in the U.S.
+Added: in November 2021.
+Added: PYLARIFY AI is artificial intelligence medical device software developed to assist with the reading and quantification of PYLARIFY scans.
+Added: The technology automatically analyzes a PSMA PET/CT image to segment anatomical regions – 51 bones and 12 soft tissue organs.
+Added: This image segmentation enables automated localization, detection and quantification of potential PSMA-avid lesions in a PSMA PET/CT image, which data is then incorporated into the reporting system used by physicians.
Anticipated Continued Growth of DEFINITY and Expansion of Our Ultrasound Microbubble Franchise
We believe the market opportunity for our ultrasound microbubble enhancing agent, DEFINITY, continues to be significant.
−Removed: DEFINITY has been our fastest growing and highest margin commercial product.

+Added: we have submitted additional VIALMIX RFID patent applications in major markets throughout the world.
Hatch-Waxman Act - Even though our longest duration Orange Book-listed DEFINITY patent extends until March 2037, because our Orange Book-listed composition of matter patent expired in June 2019, we may face generic DEFINITY challengers in the near to intermediate term.
−Removed: Under the Hatch-Waxman Act, the FDA can approve Abbreviated New Drug Applications (“ANDAs”) for generic versions of drugs if the ANDA applicant demonstrates, among other things, that (i) its generic candidate is the same as the innovator product by establishing bioequivalence and providing relevant chemistry, manufacturing and product data, and (ii) the marketing of that generic candidate does not infringe an Orange Book-listed patent or that an Orange Book-listed patent is invalid.
−Removed: With respect to any Orange Book-listed patent covering the innovator product, the ANDA applicant must give a notice to the innovator (a “Notice”) that the ANDA applicant certifies that its generic candidate will not infringe the innovator’s Orange Book-listed patent or that the Orange Book-listed patent is invalid.
−Removed: The innovator can then challenge the ANDA applicant in court within 45 days of receiving that Notice, and FDA approval to commercialize the generic candidate will be stayed (that is, delayed) for up to 30 months (measured from the date on which a Notice is received) while the patent dispute between the innovator and the ANDA applicant is resolved in court.
+Added: Under the Hatch-Waxman Act, the FDA can approve Abbreviated New Drug Applications (“ANDAs”) for generic versions of drugs if the ANDA applicant demonstrates, among other things, that (i) its generic candidate is the same as the innovator product by establishing bioequivalence and providing relevant chemistry, manufacturing and product data, and (ii) either the marketing of that generic candidate does not infringe the Orange Book-listed patent(s) or the Orange Book-listed patent(s) is invalid.
+Added: Similarly, the FDA can approve a Section 505(b)(2) New Drug Application (“505(b)(2)”) from an applicant that relies on some of the information required for marketing approval to come from studies which the applicant does not own or have a legal right of reference.
+Added: With respect to the Orange Book-listed patent(s) covering an innovator product, the ANDA applicant or the Section 505(b)(2) applicant (if relying on studies related to the innovator product) (together, the “Applicant”) must give a notice (a “Notice”) to the innovator of its certification that its generic candidate will not infringe the innovator’s Orange Book-listed patent(s) or that the Orange Book-listed patent(s) is invalid.
+Added: The innovator can then file suit against the Applicant within 45 days of receiving the Notice, and FDA approval to commercialize the generic candidate will be stayed (that is, delayed) for up to 30 months (measured from the date on which a Notice is received) while the patent dispute between the innovator and the Applicant is resolved in court.
The 30-month stay could potentially expire sooner if the courts determine that no infringement had occurred or that the challenged Orange Book-listed patent is invalid or if the parties otherwise settle their dispute.
−Removed: As of the date of filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have not received any Notice from an ANDA applicant.
−Removed: If we were to (i) receive any such Notice in the future, (ii) bring a patent infringement suit against the ANDA applicant within 45 days of receiving that Notice, and (iii) successfully obtain the full 30-month stay, then the ANDA applicant would be precluded from commercializing a generic version of DEFINITY prior to the expiration of that 30-month stay period and, potentially, thereafter, depending on how the patent dispute is resolved.
−Removed: Solely by way of example and not based on any knowledge we currently have, if we received a Notice from an ANDA applicant in November 2021 and the full 30-month stay was obtained, then the ANDA applicant would be precluded from commercialization until at least May 2024.
−Removed: If we received a Notice some number of months in the future and the full 30-month stay was obtained, the commercialization date would roll forward in the future by the same calculation.
−Removed: • DEFINITY RT - In November 2020, the FDA approved our supplemental new drug application (“sNDA”) for DEFINITY RT.
−Removed: DEFINITY RT is a modified formulation of DEFINITY that allows both storage and shipment at room temperature (DEFINITY’s previously approved formulation requires refrigerated storage).
−Removed: The modified formulation provides clinicians an additional choice and allows for greater utility of this formulation in broader clinical settings.
−Removed: We believe DEFINITY RT will become commercially available in the fourth quarter of 2021, although that timing cannot be assured.
−Removed: Given its physical characteristics, we believe DEFINITY RT is also well-suited for inclusion in kits requiring microbubbles for other indications and applications (including in kits developed by third parties of the type described in the paragraph entitled Additional Clinical Applications below).
−Removed: • Vialmix RFID – In August 2020, we announced the FDA approved our sNDA for our next-generation activation device designed specifically for both DEFINITY and DEFINITY RT.
+Added: As of the date of filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have not received any Notice from an Applicant.
+Added: If we were to (i) receive any such Notice in the future, (ii) bring a patent infringement suit against the Applicant within 45 days of receiving that Notice, and (iii) successfully obtain the full 30-month stay, then the Applicant would be precluded from commercializing a generic version of DEFINITY prior to the expiration of that 30-month stay period and, potentially, thereafter, depending on how the patent dispute is resolved.
+Added: Solely by way of example and not based on any knowledge we currently have, if we received a Notice from an Applicant in May 2022 and the full 30-month stay were obtained, then the Applicant would be precluded from commercialization until at least November 2024.
+Added: If we received a Notice some number of months in the future and the full 30-month stay were obtained, the commercialization date would roll forward in the future by the same number of months.
+Added: In the event a 505(b)(2) applicant does not rely on studies related to the innovator product, the 30-month stay would not apply, but additional clinical studies may be required.
+Added: • DEFINITY RT - DEFINITY RT became commercially available in the fourth quarter of 2021.
+Added: A modified formulation of DEFINITY that allows both storage and shipment at room temperature, DEFINITY RT provides clinicians an additional choice and allows for greater utility of this formulation in broader clinical settings.
+Added: Given its physical characteristics, we
+Added: believe DEFINITY RT is also well-suited for inclusion in kits requiring microbubbles for other indications and applications (including in kits developed by third parties of the type described in the paragraph entitled Microbubble Franchise below).
+Added: • VIALMIX RFID – VIALMIX RFID, our next-generation activation device designed specifically for both DEFINITY and DEFINITY RT, became commercially available in the fourth quarter of 2021.
The activation rate and time are controlled by VIALMIX RFID through the use of radio-frequency identification technology (“RFID”) to ensure reproducible activation of DEFINITY and DEFINITY RT.
−Removed: The RFID tag, which is affixed to the vial label, enables the DEFINITY or DEFINITY RT vial to be appropriately activated when utilized with the VIALMIX RFID activation device.
−Removed: We believe VIALMIX RFID will become available in the fourth quarter of 2021, although that timing cannot be assured.
−Removed: • Additional Clinical Applications - As we continue to look for other opportunities to expand our microbubble franchise, we are evaluating new indications and clinical applications beyond echocardiography and ultrasound enhancing agent imaging generally.
−Removed: Prior to 2021, we entered into the following collaborations:
−Removed: (i) Cerevast Medical, Inc.
−Removed: (“Cerevast”) in which our microbubble will be used in connection with Cerevast’s ocular ultrasound device to improve blood flow in occluded retinal veins in the eye;
