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
MELBOURNE, Australia, May 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited (ASX: TLX, Telix, the Company) today announces that it has entered into an agreement with Bayer AG (Bayer) to supply Illuccix (TLX591-CDx, kit for the preparation of gallium Ga 68 gozetotide injection)[1] for the Phase III ARASTEP study (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT05794906). This global study is investigating the efficacy of Bayer's androgen receptor inhibitor (ARi) darolutamide plus androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) versus ADT alone in hormone-sensitive prostate cancer, in patients with high-risk biochemical recurrence who have no evidence of metastatic disease by conventional imaging and a positive PSMA-PET/CT[2] at baseline. The study will enrol up to 750 patients across various sites such as in Europe, Japan and the United States. The more sensitive PSMA imaging may identify prostate cancer lesions not detectable by conventional imaging such as computed tomography (CT) scans, magnetic resonan
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 re
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.
