About Nordic Nanovector:
Nordic Nanovector is a biotech company focusing on the development and
commercialisation of novel targeted therapeutics in haematology and
oncology. The Company’s lead clinical-stage product opportunity is
Betalutin®, the first in a new class of Antibody-Radionuclide-Conjugates
(ARC) designed to improve upon and complement current options for the
treatment of non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL). NHL is an indication with
substantial unmet medical need and orphan drug opportunities,
representing a growing market worth over $12 billion by 2018.
Betalutin® comprises a tumour-seeking anti-CD37 antibody, lilotomab
(previously referred to as HH1), conjugated to a low intensity
radionuclide (lutetium-177). The preliminary data has shown promising
efficacy and safety profile in an ongoing Phase 1/2 study in a
difficult-to-treat NHL patient population. The Company is aiming at
developing Betalutin® for the treatment of major types of NHL with first
regulatory submission anticipated in 1H 2019.
Nordic Nanovector intends to retain marketing rights and to actively
participate in the commercialisation of Betalutin® in core markets,
while exploring potential distribution agreements in selected
geographies. The Company is committed to developing its ARC pipeline to
treat multiple selected cancer indications.
