POINT is currently finishing renovations to its 80,000-square-foot radiopharmaceutical manufacturing center which, when complete, will make it one of the largest, state-of-the-art, Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) radioligand manufacturing facilities in the world. The NRC Materials License authorizes the handling of nuclear material in chemical and/or physical form, enabling POINT to begin work with a wide variety of radioisotopes on-site and complete testing and qualification of its operations.

"The completion of our Indianapolis facility and scope of this Materials License will enable POINT to quickly bring its drug manufacturing operations online," said Todd Hockemeyer, EVP, US Manufacturing Operations at POINT Biopharma. "Our mission is to make radioligand therapy applicable to more cancers, available to more people, thereby improving the lives of cancer patients and their families everywhere. This Materials License is an important milestone in our journey to deliver on our mission. "

"I am proud of the many accomplishments Todd and his team in Indiana have achieved," added Joe McCann, CEO of POINT Biopharma. "Attaining the NRC Materials License means we can get to work using radioisotopes like Lutetium-177 and Actinium-225 at our facility, which is a key milestone in the path to manufacturing our products in Indianapolis."

POINT expects the Indianapolis facility will begin to provide supply for its Phase 3 clinical trial targeting metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer later this year.

As NOXXON advances its pipeline with upcoming start of clinical trials this additional liquidity will mostly focus on the following developments:

– Manufacturing of NOX-A12 clinical trial supply in anticipation of upcoming clinical trials;
– Manufacturing of NOX-E36 clinical trial supply in anticipation of the planned upcoming clinical trial;
– Purchase of stocks of starting materials at more cost-effective scale which will also allow more rapid production of future batches of NOX-A12 or NOX-E36.

The tranches are split as follows:

– Issuance of the remainder of the Drug Manufacturing tranche for a consideration of €900,000;
– Issuance of 3 additional tranches for a total consideration of €1,425,000.

The additional cash brings NOXXON’s runway into Q1 2022 without additional financing or use of the ASO convertible bond vehicle.

NOXXON maintains an updated summary table of issued convertible bonds in the Investors’ section of its website.

The characteristics, terms, conditions and dilutive potential of the ASO financing may be found in the Annex to the press release published on October 14, 2020 available on the company’s website.
