How long does the process take from application submission to receipt of study drug?
The amount of time can differ greatly based upon the type of study, clarity of the submitted application, completion of institution approvals, and the time required to execute an Agreement between Lantheus and your Institution’s Grants and Contracts/Legal department. If your proposal is viewed favorably, a Medical Affairs staff member will work closely with you to facilitate the process for study start-up.
