Rapid Technology Scan: Radioligand Technologies

Radioligand therapy is an innovative approach for the diagnosis or treatment of various types of conditions (including cancer). Different types of radioisotope can be harnessed for radioligand imaging and radioligand therapy to deliver precision medicine. The Innovation Observatory performed a global horizon scan of radioligand technologies in May 2021 to identify the pipeline of innovations in development, allowing national stakeholders to evaluate the potential impact of these technologies against their priorities and anticipate some of the consequences for the care pathway.

The Innovation Observatory performed a scan of radioligand technologies (imaging and therapeutic) in May 2021, using robust horizon scanning methods to identify promising innovations and to anticipate technological trends.

We developed a detailed dataset of technologies by formulating search strategies for radioligand, based on a comprehensive list of terms and input from expert panels. Primary and secondary sources were systematically scanned using a combination of traditional scanning methods, automated and novel AI/machine learning techniques.

Sources included clinical trial registries, MedTech news, academic sources, funding agencies, commercial sites and regulatory authorities. Together the insights provide a comprehensive landscape to allow decision-makers and HTAs to consider the clinical, financial, infrastructural and logistical provisions to improve preparedness for the potential adoption of these future innovations.
