During a fireside chat with analysts from Brookline Capital Markets, Radiopharm Theranostics’ (ASX:RAD) CEO Riccardo Canevari provided clinical and corporate updates highlighting the company’s achievements while waiting for the completion of its listing on the NASDAQ expected at the end of 2024.
Canevari provided some updates about the joint venture with MD Anderson Cancer Center and the progress with the B7-H3 targeting radio-antibody (BetaBart). BetaBart is the first targeted radiopharmaceutical against the 4Ig subtype of B7-H3, the most common subtype expressed in human tumors.
“Management is initially targeting small cell lung cancer but sees additional opportunities in colon, renal, lung, cervical, prostate and glioma cancers,” Canevari said. The joint venture is expecting to undertake its first-in-human Phase 1/2 therapeutic trial by mid-2025.
Canevari also outlined the progress of RAD’s focus programs including RAD101 for imaging brain metastases; RAD204 in NSCLC; RAD301 imaging in pancreatic cancer; and RAD202 in breast/gastric:
