Convergent Therapeutics to Present Phase 2 Data for CONV01-α in Lu-PSMA pretreated Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer Patients at the 2026 ASCO Annual Meeting

On April 21, 2026 Convergent Therapeutics Inc., a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing next-generation alpha-emitting radioantibodies for the treatment of advanced prostate cancer, reported that results from its ongoing Phase 2 CONVERGE-01 trial of CONV01-α will be presented at the 2026 ASCO (Free ASCO Whitepaper) Annual Meeting. The oral presentation, scheduled for June 1 in Chicago, will highlight data from patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) previously treated with Lu-177 PSMA radioligand therapy.

"We appreciate the opportunity to share these data at ASCO (Free ASCO Whitepaper) and to contribute to the discussion around how prostate cancer treatment is evolving," said Philip Kantoff, MD, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Convergent Therapeutics. "As targeted radiotherapies become more integrated into care, there is growing focus on how to extend benefit for patients who have already received Lu-177 PSMA radioligand therapy and need further options. This is an important emerging challenge in mCRPC, and one that will help define the next phase of progress in the field."

Abstract Title: CONVERGE-01 part 3: Ac-225 rosopatamab tetraxetan (CONV01-a) in Lu-PSMA pretreated metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).
Abstract Number: 5011
Format: Oral Presentation
Session Type/Title: Clinical Science Symposium – Radiation Re-Imagined: Radioligand Innovation in Prostate Cancer
Date and Time: June 1, 3:00 PM-4:30 PM CDT
Presenter: Michael J. Morris, MD, Prostate Cancer Section Head, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

About the CONVERGE-01 Trial
The CONVERGE-01 trial is a Phase II, randomized, open-label, multicenter three-part study designed to assess the safety and efficacy of CONV01-α in patients with mCRPC. In Part 1, patients received rosopatamab tetraxetan to characterize the biodistribution of the radioantibody to target organs and prostate cancer lesions. Participants were then enrolled in either Part 2 (dose optimization) or Part 3 (dose escalation) depending on their prior treatment history. Part 2 enrolled Lu-177-PSMA-radioligand therapy-naïve participants and Part 3 enrolled participants who received prior Lu-177-PSMA-radioligand therapy. All patients will receive Ac-225 rosopatamab tetraxetan in a single fractionated two-week cycle. Further details of the trial can be found at www.clinicaltrials.gov under NCT identifier: NCT06549465.

About CONV01-α
CONV01-α is a PSMA-targeted Ac-225 radioantibody that pairs antibody precision with the localized potency of alpha radiation. CONV01-α, which is being developed to improve the treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), uses a humanized monoclonal antibody directed at prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), a well-established and highly expressed antigen in prostate cancer. CONV01-α is differentiated by its ability to precisely deliver actinium-225 (Ac-225) through this PSMA-targeting antibody, enabling short-range, high-energy alpha particle radiation that creates focused DNA damage within tumor cells while limiting exposure to surrounding tissues. Initial studies in more than 120 patients have established clinical proof-of-concept for CONV01-α, showing consistent antitumor activity and a differentiated safety profile. This selectivity, combined with strong tumor retention and minimal salivary and renal uptake, supports the potential of CONV01-α to be a clinically impactful therapy for PSMA-positive cancers.

"We are pleased to share data from this important subset of r/r WM patients for whom there are no approved therapies and remaining options are restricted to salvage therapies which provide limited benefit. It is important to note that approximately 60% of drugs used for all WM patients are considered salvage therapies," said Jarrod Longcor, chief operating officer of Cellectar. "The safety and efficacy of iopofosine observed to date are highly encouraging and underscore its potential to address a significant unmet need for patients who progress after BTK inhibitors. We believe these findings further support the potential for iopofosine to emerge as a differentiated therapeutic option in the post-BTKi setting as early as the second line of treatment."

Details of the poster presentation are as follows:

Title: "Iopofosine I-131 after BTK inhibitors in Waldenström macroglobulinemia: CLOVER-WaM subgroup efficacy and safety"
Poster: 592
Date/Time: June 1, 2026, 9:00 AM-12:00 PM CDT
Presenter: Jarrod Longcor

About Waldenstrom’s Macroglobulinemia
Waldenstrom’s Macroglobulinemia (WM) is a B-cell malignancy characterized by bone marrow infiltration with clonal lymphoplasmacytic cells that produce a monoclonal immunoglobulin M (IgM) that remains incurable with available treatments. The prevalence in the US is approximately 26,000 with 1,500–1,900 patients being diagnosed annually. Approximately 11,500 patients require treatment in the relapsed or refractory setting and there are an estimated 4,700 patients requiring third line or greater therapy. There are also approximately 1,000 patients that have exhausted all current treatment options by third line because they are ineligible or intolerant to those existing therapies. Therefore, the total addressable market for third line or greater therapy is approximately 5,700 patients. There are no U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved treatment options for patients progressing on BTKi therapy. BTKi therapies do not demonstrate complete response rates and require continuous treatment.

Non-FDA approved treatments are used in more than 60% of patients. Over 50% of patients are treated with the same or similar treatment from prior lines of therapy. There is an established unmet need for new FDA-approved treatment like iopofosine I 131 that provide a novel mechanism of action, increased deep durable responses, and time limited treatment, especially in heavily pretreated WM patients.

About Silevertinib

Silevertinib is an oral, covalent, brain-penetrant fourth-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) that selectively targets classical and more than 50 non-classical EGFR mutations in NSCLC. It also potently inhibits key EGFR alterations seen in GBM, including EGFRvIII, while avoiding the paradoxical EGFR activation reported with reversible TKIs. To date, over 200 patients with EGFR‑mutant NSCLC or EGFR‑altered GBM have been treated with silevertinib.

In December 2025 the Company disclosed initial data from the Phase 2 trial of silevertinib in frontline NSCLC patients harboring a broad spectrum of non-classical EGFR mutations which demonstrated a 60% Objective Response Rate (ORR by RECIST 1.1), 86% CNS ORR (by RANO-BM) and 91% disease control rate as of a November 3, 2025 data cutoff. No new safety signals were observed.

The Company is also initiating a randomized Phase 2 trial of silevertinib in patients with newly diagnosed EGFRvIII-positive GBM in the second quarter of 2026.
