In the study, the efficacy of 212Pb-NNV003 was compared with ibrutinib in a disseminated mouse model using the ibrutinib-resistant cell line MEC-2. Ibrutinib is a Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor that forms part of the standard of care for chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) and non-Hodkgin’s lymphoma (NHL), alongside chemotherapy and anti-CD20 antibody therapy.

The study showed that a single injection of 212Pb-NNV003 is safe and effective for the treatment of CD37-positive CLL and NHL in preclinical models, with promising efficacy in an ibrutinib-resistant CLL model.

Presentation details are as follows:

Targeted alpha therapy with 212Pb-NNV003 is efficient in treatment of ibrutinib-resistant chronic lymphocytic leukaemia in preclinical model
