AI Overview
The wholesale acquisition cost (WAC) of Pluvicto in the US is approximately
$42,500 per dose. A full course of treatment can involve up to six doses, administered every six weeks, bringing the total WAC for the drug alone to around $255,000.

The actual cost for a patient will vary significantly based on their insurance coverage and location:

For insured patients: More than 8 out of 10 commercially insured men covered in a recent study paid $0 out of pocket for the infusion itself. Novartis offers a co-pay assistance program where eligible commercially insured patients may pay as little as $25 per dose.
Out-of-pocket costs: For some patients, the out-of-pocket cost can be as high as the full price of the product, in addition to costs for administration fees and PSMA PET/CT scans.
