Article/Chapter Title: The regulatory review of radiotherapeutics: United States of America
Abstract: Therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals possess unique characteristics that warrant special consideration from the regulatory entities that govern the development and human use of this class of drugs. Indeed, factors such as their short shelf-life, small batch size, and emission of toxic ionizing radiation all have a major impact on the requirements governing the production, analytical testing, handling, administration, and waste management of radiotherapeutics. This chapter is intended to introduce the reader to the general regulatory landscape covering the development and clinical use of therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals in the United States of America. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2023.
