Perspective Therapeutics Begins Shipping Investigational Products from State-of-the-Art Radiopharmaceutical Manufacturing Facility in Somerset, New Jersey
16 Ottobre 2024 - 1:00PM
Perspective Therapeutics, Inc. (“Perspective” or the
“Company”) (NYSE AMERICAN: CATX), a radiopharmaceutical company
that is pioneering advanced treatment applications for cancers
throughout the body, today is celebrating the first shipment and
patient dosing from its second manufacturing facility for the
production of its 203Pb- and 212Pb-labeled
radiopharmaceuticals.
Located in Somerset, New Jersey, this facility
is now operational to supply investigational products to support
VMT-α-NET clinical studies, in addition to the Coralville, Iowa
facility which has been producing the Company’s investigational
products for over 15 months. With three manufacturing suites that
can meet Current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) requirements,
the Somerset facility is expected to have the capacity to meet
future clinical trial and commercial demands at major cancer
treatment centers throughout the Northeastern U.S. Until the close
of its acquisition by Perspective in March 2024, this facility was
operated by Lantheus Holdings, Inc., the leading
radiopharmaceutical-focused company. This facility previously
produced Azedra, which contained a form of radioactive iodine and
received approval from the U.S. Food & Drug Administration
(FDA) in 2018 for the treatment of rare tumors of the adrenal
gland.
"Today marks an exciting milestone as we start
shipping investigational products from this state-of-the-art
facility,” commented Shane Cobb, Perspective’s Executive Vice
President of Operations. “Going operational seven months after
taking possession of the facility allows us to accelerate our
efforts in delivering investigational products and, pending
approval, new radiopharmaceutical therapies."
"We are thrilled to celebrate the opening of
this facility, which is a step forward in building out our
manufacturing and supply chain capabilities,” said Thijs Spoor,
Perspective’s Chief Executive Officer. “It reflects our commitment
to delivering targeted alpha-particle therapies to patients in
critical need. We believe our network approach aligns with patient
interest and the half-life profiles of isotopes contained in our
investigational products. We look forward to replicating this
effort and adding sites strategically to enhance our network to
support key treatment hubs across the U.S."
About Perspective Therapeutics,
Inc.Perspective Therapeutics, Inc., is a
radiopharmaceutical development company that is pioneering advanced
treatment applications for cancers throughout the body. The Company
has proprietary technology that utilizes the alpha emitting
isotope 212Pb to deliver powerful radiation specifically to
cancer cells via specialized targeting peptides. The Company is
also developing complementary imaging diagnostics that incorporate
the same targeting peptides which provide the opportunity to
personalize treatment and optimize patient outcomes. This
"theranostic" approach enables the ability to see the specific
tumor and then treat it to potentially improve efficacy and
minimize toxicity.
The Company's melanoma (VMT01) and
neuroendocrine tumor (VMT-α-NET) programs have entered Phase 1/2a
imaging and therapy trials for the treatment of metastatic melanoma
and neuroendocrine tumors at several leading academic institutions.
The Company has also developed a proprietary 212Pb generator
to secure key isotopes for clinical trial and commercial
operations.
