BOSTON, March 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- CytoSite Bio (CytoSite) announced today that they have signed a collaboration agreement for the clinical development and potential commercialization of CytoSite's investigational Phase 1 ready granzyme B-targeted Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging tracer with Lantheus Holdings, Inc. This agreement provides Lantheus with an exclusive option to license worldwide rights to CytoSite's novel imaging technology.
The two companies will collaborate on clinical development, with Lantheus having the option to acquire exclusive worldwide rights for further development and commercialization of the product. Under the terms of the agreement, CytoSite is eligible to receive payments for development, regulatory and commercial milestones, plus royalties on future product sales.
Granzyme B is an enzyme released upon activation of immune cells to destroy harmful cells, including cancer. Early studies of the investigational imaging tracer have shown potential to evaluate whether immunotherapies are working effectively to activate the immune system. This investigational PET imaging radiotracer could enable physicians to measure the early efficacy of such therapies within days of first dose and modify treatment accordingly rather than waiting for months to fully understand if the treatment is working. Additionally, pharmaceutical developers can use the investigational imaging tracer to gain an early read-out of efficacy for new therapies, enabling faster decision-making and more efficient allocation of resources.

<h3>Exploring the Significance of Insider Trading</h3>
It's important to note that insider transactions alone should not dictate investment decisions, but they can provide valuable insights.
When discussing legal matters, the term "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities, as stipulated in Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and significant hedge funds. Such insiders are required to report their transactions through a Form 4 filing, which must be completed within two business days of the transaction.
A new purchase by a company insider is a indication that they anticipate the stock will rise.
On the other hand, insider sells may not necessarily indicate a bearish view and can be motivated by various factors.
<h3>Cracking Transaction Codes</h3>
When dissecting transactions, the focal point for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> is often those occurring in the open market, meticulously detailed in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C indicates the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

Lantheus Agreed To Acquire Evergreen Theragnostics In An All-cash Transaction Consisting Of An Upfront Payment Of $250M And Up To An Additional $752.5M In Potential Milestone Payments

President Joe Biden prioritized <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/25/01/43054504/biden-commutes-sentences-of-nearly-2500-convicted-of-non-violent-drug-offenses-no-mention-of-cannabis-prisoners">freeing non-violent drug offenders</a> during his final few days in the White House, but TikTok? That's President-elect Donald Trump's problem now. 
According to the <a href="https://apnews.com/article/tiktok-ban-trump-executive-order-1e95d9836bf6f8c0c245ed1c3234d968">Associated Press</a>, Biden has no intention of enforcing the ban, which takes effect on his last full day in office, Jan. 19, and one day <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/42995328/trump-inauguration-from-elon-musk-jeff-bezos-to-barack-obama-george-bush-and-bill-clinton-who-all-will-attend">before Trump&#8217;s inauguration</a>.
With a deadline looming, the app's fate lands in the hands of the so-called People's Bid for TikTok—backed by none other than Kevin O'Leary of &#8220;Shark Tank&#8221; and billionaire Frank McCourt. Apparently, TikTok's U.S. assets are still up for grabs, but no word yet on the price tag or whether a deal can realistically get done <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/01/43060894/supreme-court-upholds-tiktok-ban-ahead-of-trumps-inauguration">in a few days</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bankruptcy Block</h2>
Joann Inc. is stitching together a bankruptcy plan for the second time within 12 months. The Ohio-based fabric and crafts retailer is seeking a buyer for its portfolio of some 800 stores. 
Gordon Brothers Retail Partners emerged as the &#8220;stalking horse&#8221; bidder, but Joann remains hopeful for better offers—perhaps from someone who knows how to thread the needle.
Previously, the 82-year-old retailer was under the stewardship of private equity firm Leonard Green &amp; Partners, which acquired it via a $1.6 billion leveraged buyout in 2011. The firm buried the company under a pile of debt (<a href="https://wolfstreet.com/2024/03/18/brick-and-mortar-meltdown-fells-another-retailer-joann-inc-files-for-bankruptcy-3-years-after-ipo/">reportedly</a> $921 million in long-term debt as of Oct. 31, 2020) and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/21/03/20048728/ipo-preview-roblox-coupang-joann-lead-busy-week-of-offerings">sent it public in 2021</a>. 
Joann went private again in <a href="https://apnews.com/article/joann-bankruptcy-chapter-11-filing-75093d4032907c59a45e472dd4e23229">March</a> 2024 while under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. The company managed to reduce its $1 billion total debt by about $500 million at the time.
Despite efforts to save itself last year, Joann is joining the growing quilt of recent retail casualties: Party City, Big Lots, LL Flooring, The Body Shop and The Container Store <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/24/12/42710619/deal-dispatch-party-city-wraps-big-lots-goes-bust-container-store-continues">to name a few</a>.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy LNTH Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Lantheus Holdings&#8217; case, it is in the Health Care sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
