About FC705 and 177Lu-FC705
2nd generation PSMA-targeted therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals. 177Lu-FC705 belongs to the 2nd generation of albumin binders introduced drugs. Its hydrophilicity is higher than that of other compounds, and has low nonspecific binding. 177Lu-FC705 will have constantly increasing uptake in prostate cancer due to the introduction of albumin binder while it will be rapidly excreted from normal organs. In this regard, 177Lu labeled 177Lu-FC705 can be expected to have high therapeutic effect and very low damage to normal organs. Currently, efficacy of 177Lu-FC705 is being clinically tested in Phase 2 in Korea and 1/2a in US.

Ant International Partners with Google’s Universal Commerce Protocol to Expand AI Capabilities12.1.2026 02:15:00 CET | Press release
Ant International, a leading global payment, digitisation, and financial technology provider, is collaborating on the launch of Google’s Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP), a new open standard for agentic commerce that works across the entire shopping journey — from discovery and buying to post-purchase support. UCP establishes a common language for agents and systems to operate together across consumer surfaces, businesses, and payment providers to enable commerce. So instead of requiring unique connections for every individual agent, UCP enables all agents to interact easily. UCP is built to work across verticals and is compatible with existing industry protocols like Agent2Agent (A2A), Agent Payments Protocol (AP2), and Model Context Protocol (MCP). “For agentic commerce to scale, it’s critical for the industry to align on a common set of standards. We are proud to have Ant International endorse the Universal Commerce Protocol as the foundation for that future,” said Ashish Gupta, VP
