Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Lantheus Holdings, Inc. receives a mixed ethical rating. The company has been linked to significant involvement in animal testing for pre-clinical trials, though exceptions reportedly require executive and external ethics board approval. Positively, Lantheus develops critical diagnostic tools like PYLARIFY for prostate cancer and offers patient support through its Lantheus Link program, providing access and financial assistance. The company also maintains an expanded access program for investigational products for serious conditions. While cybersecurity measures include formal incident response and employee training, quantitative data on investment and effectiveness is limited. Critics point to insufficient public data regarding fair pay, ethical sourcing, honest business practices, and broader environmental impact, making a comprehensive ethical assessment challenging.
