Molecular Targeting Technologies, Inc. Features EBTATE Advances at The 2022 SNMMI Meeting In Vancouver, BC

On June 9, 2022 Molecular Targeting Technologies, Inc. (MTTI), a clinical stage oncology company, reported that it will highlight advances on its EvaTheraTM radiotheranostics platform at the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) meeting in Vancouver, BC, on June 11-15, 2022 (Exhibit booth #1715) (Press release, Molecular Targeting Technologies, JUN 9, 2022, View Source [SID1234615839]). The EvaThera platform includes EBTATETM (177Lu-DOTA-EB-TATE) for Neuroendocrine Neoplasms (NENs), Hürthle cell thyroid and nasopharyngeal cancers and EBRGDTM (177Lu-DOTA-EB-RGD) for glioblastoma multiforme and non-small cell lung cancer

In addition, two abstracts highlighting MTTI’s EBTATE & our PET imaging agent,18F-glucarate, were selected for oral and poster presentations:

(i) Evaluation of Safety, Biodistribution and Dosimetry of a long-Acting Radiolabeled Somatostatin Analogue 177Lu-DOTA-EB-TATE with and without Amino Acid Infusion by Qingxing Liu, Yuanyuan Jiang, Koon Pak, Guochang Wang, Jingjing Zhang, Xiaoyuan Chen and Zhaohui Zhu (oral presentation)

EBTATE treatment without amino acid infusion, normally used in current treatments to block drug impact on non-target organs, has acceptable, minor effects on the kidneys and does no harm to kidney function. EBTATE may significantly improve patient comfort vs. current treatments.

(ii) Assessment of 18F-glucarate as a potential PET tracer for cancer imaging by Junling Li, Huaiyu Zheng, Levi Beverly, Brian Gray, Koon Pak and Chin K. Ng (poster presentation)

18F-glucarate uptake in both in vitro and in vivo correlated well with the degree of cell death and shows early tumor response to chemotherapy, enabling faster assessment of treatment efficacy.

Curia and Replicate Bioscience Enter Strategic Collaboration to Create Groundbreaking Development Platform for Self-Replicating RNA (srRNA)

On June 9, 2022 Curia, formerly AMRI, a leading contract research, development and manufacturing organization, and Replicate Bioscience, a company pioneering ways to prevent drug resistance in cancer and to treat autoimmune and inflammatory disorders and other diseases using self-replicating RNA (srRNA), reported that they will collaborate on a robust development platform for Replicate’s srRNA therapeutics (Press release, Replicate Bioscience, JUN 9, 2022, View Source [SID1234615838]). The strategic collaboration unites two RNA therapeutics industry leaders.

As part of the collaboration, Curia’s experienced process development team will support the GMP production of Replicate Bioscience’s srRNA vectors up to eight-liter scale (8L), which can be used in Phase 1 through pivotal clinical trials. Curia’s global mRNA development and manufacturing facility is ISO-13485 certified and located near Boston, Massachusetts. This facility also supports innovators engaged in vaccine and other mRNA therapy development and manufacture through Phase 2 and 3, including GMP assays. Additional Curia facilities support manufacture of srRNA through commercial production scales.

"Replicate’s approach to srRNA is unique, in that we create our own virally-derived synthetic vectors to customize srRNAs to deliver specific proteins," said Replicate Co-founder and Chief Development Officer Andrew Geall, Ph.D., who previously has set up srRNA CMC frameworks for companies including Novartis, Synthetic Genomics, and Precision Nanosystems. "This customization has important therapeutic advantages—versatility of application, lower dosing, and longer duration of therapeutic effect compared to other RNA modalities—but requires built-for-purpose processes to solve the challenges of manufacturing longer RNAs. Curia’s unprecedented expertise in process development and end-to-end integration of longer RNAs makes them a perfect partner for us as we transition from research into clinical development and the production of our srRNA for trials in patients."

"The manufacture of these longer mRNAs is more technically challenging than non-replicating mRNAs and to date we have succeeded with mRNAs up to 16,000 bases," said Norman Garceau, Ph.D., Vice President, Global R&D Technology, Curia. "Curia’s platform offers versatility and streamlined manufacturing times that can handle such complex molecules. Our collaboration with Replicate Bioscience is enabling us to create entirely new methods of manufacturing longer RNAs. We have built our platform from the ground up, using our combined experience in biologics and chemistry to create end-to-end solutions covering mRNA synthesis, lipid synthesis, formulation, and liquid nanoparticle fill-finish. We are proud to apply our capabilities and expertise to support the Replicate Bioscience team and its innovative approach."

Presentations on investigational radiohybrid Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen (rhPSMA) compounds are being made at the conference. They include additional results from the Company’s Phase 3 SPOTLIGHT study (NCT04186845) evaluating the safety and diagnostic performance of 18F-rhPSMA-7.3 PET imaging in men with suspected prostate cancer recurrence based on elevated PSA following prior therapy, and preclinical evaluation of 177Lu-rhPSMA-10.1, being investigated by Blue Earth Therapeutics as a therapeutic radiopharmaceutical candidate for prostate cancer. Presentations on investigational studies of 18F-fluciclovine include an interim report from an exploratory trial in lobular breast cancer, distinguishing pseudoprogression from tumor recurrence in glioblastoma, and amino acid transport mechanisms and staging in muscle invasive bladder cancer. Details of selected oral and poster presentations by Blue Earth Diagnostics and its collaborators are listed below.

NOTE: Currently, rhPSMA compounds are investigational and have not received regulatory approval.

18F-fluciclovine is an approved molecular imaging radiopharmaceutical for use in PET imaging in men with suspected prostate cancer recurrence based on elevated blood prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels following prior treatment. Presentations noted by "*" discuss results of investigational studies of an approved product that is not approved by the FDA for the specific use or purpose noted.

Indication and Important Safety Information About Axumin

INDICATION

Axumin (fluciclovine F 18) injection is indicated for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging in men with suspected prostate cancer recurrence based on elevated blood prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels following prior treatment.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Image interpretation errors can occur with Axumin PET imaging. A negative image does not rule out recurrent prostate cancer and a positive image does not confirm its presence. The performance of Axumin seems to be affected by PSA levels. Axumin uptake may occur with other cancers and benign prostatic hypertrophy in primary prostate cancer. Clinical correlation, which may include histopathological evaluation, is recommended.
Hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, may occur in patients who receive Axumin. Emergency resuscitation equipment and personnel should be immediately available.
Axumin use contributes to a patient’s overall long-term cumulative radiation exposure, which is associated with an increased risk of cancer. Safe handling practices should be used to minimize radiation exposure to the patient and health care providers.
Adverse reactions were reported in ≤ 1% of subjects during clinical studies with Axumin. The most common adverse reactions were injection site pain, injection site erythema and dysgeusia.

During the presentation, Dr. Pishvaian, who also serves as Study Chair for the Company’s Phase 3 TIGeR-PaC clinical trial, will discuss current available treatment options for pancreatic cancer and why they can fall short of providing an effective solution to fighting this deadly disease. He will also discuss how the TIGeR-PaC study is challenging this treatment paradigm by localizing the delivery of chemotherapy directly to the tumor, and how the RenovoRx Trans-Arterial Micro-Perfusion (RenovoTAMP) therapy platform re-envisions the treatment of pancreatic and other solid tumors with the goal of improving survival and quality of life for patients undergoing chemotherapy. Dr. Pishvaian will also explain the scientific rationale underlying RenovoTAMP’s development. Mr. Bagai will conclude by talking about the Company’s plan for expanding the utility of its innovative therapy platform and its anticipated milestones for the remainder of the year. The virtual presentation will also include a Q & A session.

A recording of this presentation will be posted to the RenovoRx Website Events page when it becomes available.
