Sanofi, RadioMedix, and Orano Med announce licensing agreement on next-generation radioligand medicine for rare cancers

Sanofi, RadioMedix, and Orano Med announce licensing agreement on next-generation radioligand medicine for rare cancers

September 12, 2024

Paris, France, and Houston

As part of its effort to develop innovative treatments for people living with rare cancers, Sanofi has entered into an exclusive licensing agreement with RadioMedix, Inc., a US clinical-stage biotechnology company developing radiopharmaceuticals for PET imaging and targeted alpha therapy (TAT) against unmet medical needs in cancer, and Orano Med, a French clinical-stage biotechnology company, subsidiary of the Orano Group, developing lead-212 (212Pb) radioligand therapies (RLTs) against cancer.This collaboration between Sanofi, RadioMedix and Orano Med focuses specifically on the late-stage project, AlphaMedixTM (212Pb-DOTAMTATE), which currently is being evaluated for the treatment of adult patients with unresectable or metastatic, progressive somatostatin-receptor expressing neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), a rare cancer. AlphaMedixTM is a TAT which consists of a somatostatin receptor-targeting peptide complex radiolabeled with lead-212 (212Pb) that serves as an in vivo generator of alpha particles.

RadioMedix and Orano Med receive FDA Breakthrough Therapy Designation for AlphaMedixTM in gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors

First Targeted Alpha Therapy to receive a Breakthrough Therapy Designation

HOUSTON & PARIS

RadioMedix, Inc. and Orano Med, two clinical stage radiopharmaceutical companies, today announced that the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation (BTD) to AlphaMedixTM (212Pb-DOTAMTATE) for the treatment of adult patients with unresectable or metastatic, progressive somatostatin receptor expressing gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs) who are naïve to peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT). AlphaMedixTM is a Targeted Alpha Therapy currently in Phase 2 clinical development, which consists of an SSTR-targeting peptide complex radiolabeled with lead-212 (212Pb) that serves as an in vivo generator of alpha particles. Due to their high energy and short path length, alpha emitters enable specific targeting and killing of individual cancer cells, while minimizing toxicity to surrounding healthy tissue. AlphaMedixTM is the first Targeted Alpha Therapy to receive Breakthrough Therapy Designation.

RadioMedix and Orano Med Complete Patient Enrolment in Phase II Trial of Targeted Alpha-Emitter AlphaMedix in Neuroendocrine Cancers

 

HOUSTON & PARIS

RadioMedix and Orano Med, two clinical stage radiopharmaceutical companies, today announced that the last patient has been dosed in the Phase II trial of the targeted alpha emitter therapy, 212Pb-DOTAMTATE (AlphaMedix™). This trial is being conducted to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of AlphaMedix™ in peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) of naive patients with somatostatin receptor-expressing neuroendocrine tumors (NET), regardless of the location of the primary tumor. Top-line data from the trial is expected in mid-2024. Remarkably, based on data already collected, the objective response rate (ORR) endpoint has already been achieved and is more than twice as high as the current standard of care.

RadioMedix and Vect-Horus announce first dosing of Glioblastoma Multiforme and Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma patients with 68Ga-RMX-VH

Houston, TX, USA and Marseille, France, Nov. 15, 2022

RadioMedix and Vect-Horus are pleased to announce that they have successfully dosed the first patients in an exploratory Investigational New Drug (eIND) application to evaluate 68Ga-RMX-VH for the diagnostic of Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) and Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). This radiotracer will serve as a companion diagnostic for future Targeted Alpha Therapy (TAT) for these cancers. 68Ga-RMX-VH is a positron-emitting tomography (PET) agent that targets the Low-Density Lipoprotein Receptor (LDLR) overexpressed in some solid tumors such as GBM and PDAC. The objective of this exploratory study is to evaluate the safety, dosimetry, and bio-distribution of 68Ga-RMX-VH in patients with solid tumors. GBM is the most common malignant primary brain tumor in adults and is a serious and life-threatening disease. PDAC is one of the most chemo-resistant and radio-resistant types of cancers due to the dense pancreatic connective tissue and the diversity of genetic mutations.

RadioMedix announces a $40 million Series A financing for the advancement of novel Targeted Alpha Therapy platform and diagnostic companion radiopharmaceuticals to address unmet needs in oncology. Michael Lee-Chin appointed to the board of the company.
