ProstACT SELECT Study of TLX591 Interim Readout: Positive Results Confirm Safety and Tolerability

The study has achieved its primary objectives, confirming the safety and tolerability profile of TLX591 administered in two doses, two weeks apart in combination with standard of care (SoC) Preliminary activity demonstrates meaningfulPSA[1] reduction; monitoring of patients is ongoing, including for rPFS[2] Findings reinforce the potential advantages of this first-in-class radio-antibody drug conjugate (rADC) investigational therapy, consistent with previous clinical studies of TLX591[3] MELBOURNE, Australia, Oct. 19, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited (ASX: TLX, Telix, the Company)today announces positive preliminary results from the Phase I ProstACT SELECT study of its rADC therapy candidate TLX591 (Lutetium (177Lu) rosopatamab tetraxetan) for prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). The purpose of the SELECT study (ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT04786847)was to evaluate the utility of PSMA imaging to select patients for rADC-based PSMA therapy and to confirm the biodistribution of the rADC investigational therapy. The primary clinical objective was to determine whole body distribution and organ radiation and assess the safety and tolerability of TLX591, when administered in combination with SoC in second-line mCRPC. The evaluable population was 28 patients (of a total 30 enrolled in the study). Patients received two (2) single intravenous (IV) infusions of TLX591, fourteen (14) days apart. Cohort 1 (5 patients) received a 27mCi dose followed by a 76 mCi dose for accuracy of biodistribution determination. Cohort 2 (23 patients) received two 76mCi doses. The study achieved its primary objectives, confirming the safety and tolerability profile of TLX591 administered in two cycles,14 days apart (total cumulative dose 152mCi). The results reinforce the clinical utility of the short, fractionated dosing regimen. Key results and observations Dosimetry and biodistribution Consistent lesion delineation between TLX591 and68Ga-PSMA-11 imaging, within the detection sensitivity and resolution limits of SPECT[4] Excellent uptake and retention intumour and metastases up to 14 days post injection Radiation exposure to key organs is well within prescribed safety limits The highest absorbed dose was in the liver (clearance organ), with minimal uptake in exocrine (salivary) glands Long retention period is evidence ofinternalisation and ability to efficiently deliver payload to tumour Hematologic profile and adverse events Grade 3thrombocytopenia (25%) and neutropenia (38%) events in line with profile expected for this class of therapy. Similarly for Grade 4 hematologic events - thrombocytopenia (25%) and neutropenia (4%) Serious adverse events (SAEs) observed were generally lower than in earlier studies conducted at the same dose level, reflective of the SELECT study being conducted in a healthier patient population Hematologic events were transient and reversible Four patients (17%) received intervention in the form of platelets, growth factors or both All treatment related non-hematologic events were Grade 1 or Grade 2 and generally mild Preliminary anti-tumour activity 64% of patients (baselinePSA and full dose) had a PSA reduction, with 27% demonstrating a 30% reduction and 18% demonstrating a 50% reduction. PSA and rPFS monitoring is ongoing Scott T. Tagawa, MD, Professor of Medicine and Urology in New York said, "Preliminary results from the ProstACT SELECT study build on prior studies of TLX591 and underline the potential advantages of an antibody-based approach. Latest data provides further evidence of the long retention and internalisation of TLX591 in the tumour (and metastases), which may maximise the cell-killing effect of the 177Lu radioisotope at the site of the tumour." Nat Lenzo, MD, GenesisCare Group Clinical Director Theranostics and top recruiter onto the ProstACT SELECT study commented, "It is really exciting to see development of this next-generation PSMA-targeting radiotherapeutic progressing. This study confirms the suitability of the short, simple treatment duration with two doses administered two weeks apart which is attractive to physicians and patients. The safety and tolerability data also demonstrates the potential for this therapy to reduce undesirable side effects, while delivering a hematologic toxicity profile that is both tolerable and manageable." Colin Hayward, Telix Chief Medical Officer, added, "TLX591 is being designed to integrate with current standard of care, demonstrative of Telix's continued innovation in prostate cancer treatment. The SELECT study provides further validation of the potential of TLX591, a first-in-class rADC therapy and the use of PSMA imaging with small molecules to select patients for antibody-based PSMA therapy." Investigation of TLX591 is continuing in the Phase III ProstACT GLOBAL study (ClinicalTrials.gov ID NCT04876651), open for enrolment in Australia and expected to commence in the United States in 2024.

First Patient Dosed in STARSTRUCK Study of TLX250 Targeted Radiation Therapy in Combination with Merck Investigational DNA-PK Inhibitor, Peposertib

MELBOURNE, Australia, July 19, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited (ASX: TLX, Telix, the Company)today announces that the first patient has been dosed in a Phase I study of the Company's investigational targeted radiation therapy, TLX250, in combination with a Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany (Merck) DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK) inhibitor candidate, peposertib (M3814). The study is being conducted in patients with solid tumours expressing carbonic-anhydrase IX (CAIX), a potential pan-cancer target. STARSTRUCK (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT05868174) is a Phase Ib, open label, single-arm, multicentre dose escalation and dose expansion study to evaluate the safety profile, dosing and activity of TLX250 (177Lu-DOTA-girentuximab) in combination with the DNA damage response inhibitor (DDRi) peposertib, which is an inhibitor of DNA-PK. The target population is patients with CAIX-expressing solid tumours that are relapsed or refractory to standard therapies. Up to 80 patients will be assessed in this study in Australian sites. The clinical hypothesis is that the combination of TLX250 and a DNA-PK inhibitor provides an enhancement in potency through their synergistic action on cancer cells. Targeted radiation effectively induces DNA damage in targeted cancer cells and the DNA-PK inhibitor may act to prevent the cell from repairing this damage, resulting in higher potency at lower doses. This hypothesis was confirmed in preclinical studies, conducted under a strategic research collaboration between Merck and Telix announced in 2019,[1] and provided evidence that the combined effect of Merck's investigational DNA-PK inhibitor peposertib with Telix's targeted radiation candidate has potential to significantly improve efficacy and reduce the required radiation dose for tumour reduction and remission, compared to targeted radiation alone. Principal Investigator for the STARSTRUCK study, Professor Nat Lenzo, GenesisCare Group Clinical Director Theranostics said, "The treatment of advanced cancer can be extremely challenging. We are pleased to support the commencement of this study with Telix to help determine if there is a potential future clinical benefit regarding the combination of molecular targeted radiation and DNA-PK inhibitors." Telix Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Colin Hayward stated,"Preclinical data has shown excellent combination response, which has potential to translate to additional response or more tolerable treatment regimens in patients. We would like to thank Prof. Lenzo and his clinical team at GenesisCare Murdoch, as well as the patients who will contribute to this important study." Merck and Telix are continuing the initial scientific collaboration to further explore and optimise the combination of TLX250 or other next-generation targeted radiation therapy candidates with Merck's DDRi compounds in preclinical studies. About TLX250 TLX250 (177Lu-DOTA-girentuximab) is an antibody-based therapeutic platform that targets CAIX, a cell surface protein that is highly expressed in several human cancers, and is currently the subject of the STARLITE-1 (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT05663710) and STARLITE-2 (NCT05239533) studies in combination with immunotherapy.[2] High CAIX tumour expression is generally correlated with poor prognosis. Telix's companion investigational diagnostic imaging agent TLX250-CDx (89Zr-DFO-girentuximab) was the subject of a successful global Phase III trial (ZIRCON trial, NCT03849118), which completed enrolment and reported positive top-line data during 2022.[3] Analyses of primary endpoints and key secondary endpoints of the ZIRCON trial were presented to the medical community for the first time at ASCO GU on 18 February 2023.[4] TLX250-CDx is currently being investigated in the Phase II STARBURST study (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT05563272) exploring CAIX expression in patients with a diverse range of solid tumours for potential diagnostic and therapeutic applications.[5] About Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited Telix is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialisation of diagnostic and therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals.

First Patients in Canada Imaged with Illuccix: Now Commercially Available Nationwide

MELBOURNE, Australia, May 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ --Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited (ASX: TLX, Telix, the Company)today announces first patients have been imaged in Canada with its commercially available prostate cancer imaging agent, Illuccix [kit for the preparation of gallium (68Ga) PSMA-11 for intravenous injection]. With Illuccix now available nationwide in Canada through Telix's partner Isologic Innovative Radiopharmaceuticals (Isologic), INITIO Medical Group in Burnaby, BC (INITIO) became one of the first sites to administer this novel PSMA-PET imaging agent that can help healthcare professionals diagnose the stage and spread of prostate cancer - an important step for men with this disease. Illuccix, after radiolabeling with gallium (68Ga), is indicated for use with positron emission tomography (PET) of prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positive lesions in men with prostate cancer: with suspected metastasis who are suitable for initial definitive therapy; with suspected recurrence with elevated serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) level. Illuccix is the first PSMA-PET imaging agent to have been granted regulatory approval in Canada. Health Canada became the third regulatory body worldwide to approve Illuccix, which is also commercially available in Australia, New Zealand and the United States. Dr. Philip Cohen, INITIO Director and Division Head, Nuclear Medicine, Lions Gate Hospital in North Vancouver said, "Nuclear isotope therapy enters a new era with the ability to see and diagnose invisible cancers based on their molecular "signature" and then target them based on the same signature. Now if we can see the cancer we can treat it, and potentially control, and eventually someday cure this terrible disease." Andre Gagnon, President of Isologic added, "PSMA-PET is emerging as a standard of care worldwide, and it is tremendous that we can now provide Canadian physicians and their patients with this innovative new diagnostic tool via our national network, servicing 265 hospitals and clinics."

Olaratumab Antibody Licensed from Lilly Demonstrates Proof of Concept as a Theranostic Radiopharmaceutical

MELBOURNE, Australia, April 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited (ASX: TLX, Telix, the Company)today announces successful preclinical development of radiolabelled olaratumab, an antibody licensed from Eli Lilly and Company (Lilly). Telix has demonstrated proof-of-concept (PoC) of using olaratumab to selectively deliver both diagnostic and therapeutic radiation to tumours as a radiopharmaceutical moiety and has produced a candidate for clinical translation. Telix will now progress to first-in-human clinical studies based on these highly encouraging results. In April 2022, Telix secured the exclusive worldwide rights to develop and commercialise radiolabelled forms of olaratumab for the diagnosis and treatment of human cancers.[1] Olaratumab was originally developed as a naked (non-radiolabelled) monoclonal antibody targeting Platelet Derived Growth Factor Receptor Alpha (PDGFR), a target expressed in multiple tumour types. Olaratumab has a well-established clinical safety profile, a favourable toxicology dataset and advanced manufacturing package in relation to Lilly's development program, which Telix expects to be able to leverage for future development as a radiopharmaceutical drug product. Telix's initial development PoC has focused on a rare type of cancer known as Soft Tissue Sarcoma (STS). External beam radiation is a key part of the standard of care for STS, which may therefore be a suitable clinical target for novel radionuclide therapy, particularly for alpha-emitting radionuclides. The ability of olaratumab to target PDGFR in the STS tumour microenvironment makes it a highly novel and high-potential radiopharmaceutical candidate. Telix has now completed its preclinical evaluation, with results sufficiently encouraging to advance development toward initial human clinical trials, in line with planned R&D expenditure for 2023/24. The agent has been assigned formal candidate status in Telix's development pipeline (to be denoted as TLX300-CDx/TLX300 for the diagnostic/patient selection tool and therapeutic, respectively). Specifically, these studies have shown that olaratumab can be bioconjugated with multiple chelators (including Telix's proprietary DFO-squaramide chelator), radiolabelled with zirconium-89 (89Zr) for imaging by Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and used to demonstrate specific delivery of radiation to STS cancer cells to show proof of concept in xenograft tumour mouse models. Furthermore, olaratumab radiolabelled with therapeutic radionuclide payloads has demonstrated in vivo efficacy with significant reduction in tumour volumes in relevant disease models, even after administration of a single dose. The Company is preparing to publish preliminary findings. Telix Chief Scientist, Dr Michael Wheatcroft stated, "Building on Telix's proven track record in acquiring and developing novel radiopharmaceutical assets, it is extremely pleasing to demonstrate the adaptation of this traditional biologic agent for future potential use as a targeted radiopharmaceutical. TLX300 will initially be evaluated in a first-in-human clinical study that is designed to inform both the potential efficacy (dosimetry) and safety profile of this research candidate as a therapeutic, demonstrating the development advantage of a theranostic approach." About Soft Tissue Sarcoma (STS) Soft tissue sarcoma is a complex disease that encompasses a diverse group of relatively rare cancers, with more than 50 histological subtypes. In the United States (U.S.), it is estimated that 13,040 new cases and 5,150 deaths were caused by STS in 2019, representing 0.75% of overall cancer incidence and 0.84% of overall cancer mortality.[2]In Europe, nearly 23,600 new STS cases rose annually, and the crude incidence rate was 4.7 per 100,000.[3]Approximately 39,900 new STS cases occurred nationwide in China in 2019, accounting for 1.05% of overall cancer incidence.[4]The crude incidence rate was 2.91/100,000 and generally increased with age. Standard treatment for soft tissue sarcoma includes surgery, radiation therapy and/or chemotherapy. For patients with advanced, unresectable, or metastatic disease, treatment typically involves chemotherapy with single agents (e.g., doxorubicin) or anthracycline-based combination regimens. However, the prognosis for these patients remains poor, with treated patients with metastatic disease having a median overall survival of around 12-18 months.[5] About olaratumab Olaratumab (previously marketed under the brand name, Lartruvo) was originally developed as a monoclonal antibody targeting PDGFR. Olaratumab was granted "Accelerated Approval" in the U.S. and "Conditional Approval" in the EU based on Phase II trial data which showed a 1-year survival benefit in patients with STS, when given in combination with standard chemotherapy. Olaratumab was voluntarily withdrawn from the market by Lilly following the failure of the Phase III ANNOUNCE clinical trial, in which olaratumab did not improve survival for patients.

Chinese NMPA Approves Study of Telix Brain Cancer Therapy Candidate

MELBOURNE, Australia, April 11, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited (ASX: TLX, Telix, the Company)today announces the Chinese National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) Center for Drug Evaluation (CDE) has approved a Phase I study of TLX101 investigational therapy (4-L-[131I] iodo-phenylalanine, or 131I-IPA) in Chinese patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma (GBM). The investigational new drug (IND) application was submitted by Telix's partner in the Greater China region, Grand Pharmaceutical Group Limited (Grand Pharma). The Phase I study is required to establish the safety profile of this therapeutic candidate in a Chinese patient population, thus enabling Chinese patients to be enrolled in Telix's planned global pivotal registration trial for TLX101. This is the first of Telix's investigational therapies to move into a clinical trial with Grand Pharma. The IPAX-1 study of TLX101 (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03849105)met its primary objective demonstrating safety and tolerability profile of intravenous 131I-IPA administered concurrently with external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) in patients with recurrent GBM. The study also delivered encouraging preliminary efficacy data for further evaluation, demonstrating a median overall survival of 13 months from the initiation of treatment in the recurring setting, or 23 months from initial diagnosis.[1] Telix has now initiated the IPAX-2 study (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT05450744) in Australian sites to confirm the safety profile of TLX101 as a front-line therapy in combination with standard of care treatment, ahead of progressing to a label-indicating Phase II/III study in a larger patient population, IPAX-3. The IPAX-2 study will run concurrently to the study in Chinese patients in the same disease setting. Mr Zhou Chao, CEO Grand Pharma said, "China is a rapid adopter of new radiopharmaceutical theranostics, and the Chinese regulator NMPA - a leading, competent global authority - is increasingly familiar with this class of drug. With over 30,000 patients diagnosed with GBM in China annually,[2] there is very high unmet medical need for new therapeutic options for this disease, which makes studies like this one critical." Dr David N Cade, CEO Telix Asia Pacific added, "Building on the successful IPAX-1 study of TLX101 therapy in patients with recurrent GBM, we are pleased to commence this follow-on study in newly diagnosed Chinese patients. Completion of this Phase I trial is critically important to the development of this asset, as it will enable Chinese patients to be included in the future global registration trial for TLX101 and potentially enable parallel regulatory submissions in Western markets and China. With our partner for Greater China, Grand Pharma, Telix's goal is to provide new treatment options for this aggressive cancer with significant unmet medical need as efficiently as possible in this large market."
