Developing innovative radiopharmaceuticals for a highly underserved oncology sector
Supports plans to advance the RV01 program to first-in-human therapeutic basket study in solid tumour cancers
Data completes preclinical package for Investigational New Drug submission in mid-2025 with Phase 1 therapeutic study initiation expected in 4Q25
Radiopharm Theranostics (ASX: RAD, Nasdaq: RADX, "Radiopharm" or the "Company"), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing innovative oncology radiopharmaceuticals for areas of high unmet medical need, today announced that preclinical data from studies with the Lu177-B7H3-monoclonal antibody RV01 demonstrated favourable biodistribution and showed that RV01 maintained high tumour uptake. In addition, the Fc region modifications of the monoclonal antibody (mAb) confirm a shorter half-life, compared to traditional mAbs. The shorter half-life and other Fc modifications have the potential to limit off-target exposure to the isotope and mitigate toxicities associated with traditional monoclonal antibody therapies.
RV01 is the Company's B7-H3-targeted radiopharmaceutical therapy designed with strong affinity for the 4Ig isoform of B7H3 that is highly expressed in tumours and not in healthy tissues, which is being developed in partnership with MD Anderson Cancer Center. The B7-H3 targeting monoclonal antibody (mAb) is designed to target various solid tumours that express the B7-H3 protein. High expression of this target is associated with a poor prognosis in many cancer types.
"We are especially pleased with these new preclinical data as they further validate earlier preclinical work that showed strong affinity to the target without the extensive circulation time of other monoclonal antibodies. Our mAb has been purposefully modified in the Fc-region with the objective of maintaining the same targeting capabilities together with a reduced half-life. Most mAbs have a typical half-life of over one week, whereas RV01 peaks within one to two days," stated Dimitris Voliotis, M.D., Chief Medical Officer of Radiopharm Theranostics.
"The antibody shows faster liver excretion in the preclinical experiments, allowing the isotope enough time to effectively target the tumor potentially without the associated toxicities. Unlike peptides or small molecules, mAbs are excreted by the liver, the most radio-resistant organ. This, combined with the faster excretion due to the shortened half-life, potentially offers important advantages compared to excretion via the kidneys, where the elimination of radiopharmaceuticals can result in significant potential toxicities," added Dr. Voliotis.
The new preclinical data corroborate conclusions from earlier preclinical mouse studies that identified a high-affinity antibody highly selective to the cancer-specific 4Ig isoform of the B7-H3 receptor, demonstrated complete regression of established solid tumours with treatment and showed promising evidence of immune system stimulation and the ability to confer immune memory.
"This biodistribution study is the last preclinical work needed to complete the preclinical package for our Investigational New Drug Application (IND) with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. These data allow us to confirm our guidance to file the IND-submission in mid-2025 and to initiate our first-in-human Phase 1 basket study by the end of this year," said Riccardo Canevari, CEO and Managing Director of Radiopharm Theranostics.

DSMC concluded that Phase 1 study may continue as planned without any modifications
On track to complete the enrollment of the first two cohorts by mid-2025
Radiopharm Theranostics (ASX: RAD, Nasdaq: RADX, "Radiopharm" or the "Company"), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing innovative oncology radiopharmaceuticals for areas of high unmet medical need, announced today that it has achieved a key milestone in its ongoing clinical development program for its clinical-stage radiotherapeutic asset, 177Lu-RAD204, as the Data and Safety Monitoring Committee (DSMC) has approved to proceed to the next dose in its Phase 1 clinical trial in patients with PD-L1 positive advanced cancers 1 . The DSMC is an independent multidisciplinary group that conducts detailed reviews of unblinded study data, discusses potential safety concerns and provides recommendations regarding trial continuation.
"We greatly appreciate the DSMC's judicious review of our first cohort of patients in the Phase 1 study of 177Lu-RAD204, which allows us to advance to the higher dose cohort in a variety of PD-L1- driven cancers," said Riccardo Canevari, CEO and Managing Director of Radiopharm Theranostics. "With this clearance from the DSMC, the increased number of active centers and expansion to multiple tumor types beyond Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC), we expect to accelerate our timelines for complete enrolment of the next cohort by mid-2025. We believe that RAD204 has the potential to strongly improve clinical outcomes for patients with PD-L1 positive advanced cancers and we look forward to seeing data from the first two cohorts of patients later this year."
The DSMC reviewed the first cohort of four patients treated with 30mCi of 177Lu-RAD204 and confirmed that there was positive safety, pharmacokinetic and biodistribution data and agreed that the study may continue without modifications. The second cohort of patients will start at 60mCi of Lu177 rather than 40mCi previously assumed in the protocol. The second cohort of patients is expected to be enrolled by mid-year 2025 and will include expansion to multiple tumor types including NSCLC, Small-Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC), Triple-negative Breast Cancer (TNBC), Cutaneous Melanoma, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and Endometrial Cancer.
There are currently four clinical trial sites actively screening and recruiting patients in Australia.
About 177Lu-RAD204:
RAD204 is a single-domain monoclonal antibody (sdAb) that targets PD-L1, a protein that helps control the immune system and is overexpressed in many solid cancers, making it an attractive therapeutic target in multiple tumor types, including NSCLC, SCLC, TNBC, Cutaneous Melanoma, HNSCC, and Endometrial Cancer. Previously published Phase I imaging data of 16 NSCLC patients with 99Tc-RAD204 demonstrated that the diagnostic compound is safe and is associated with acceptable dosimetry 2 .
Tumor targeting with radioimmunotherapies such as 177Lu-RAD204 has the potential to address resistance mechanisms to current standard-of-care treatment options.

About Cardiol Therapeutics
Cardiol Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ: CRDL) (TSX: CRDL) is a clinical-stage life sciences company focused on developing anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic therapies for the treatment of heart disease. The Company's lead small molecule drug candidate, CardiolRxâ„¢ (cannabidiol) oral solution, is pharmaceutically manufactured and in clinical development for use in the treatment of heart disease. It is recognized that cannabidiol inhibits activation of the inflammasome pathway, an intracellular process known to play an important role in the development and progression of inflammation and fibrosis associated with myocarditis, pericarditis, and heart failure.
Cardiol has received Investigational New Drug Application authorization from the United States Food and Drug Administration ("US FDA") to conduct clinical studies to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CardiolRxâ„¢ in two diseases affecting the heart: recurrent pericarditis and acute myocarditis. The MAVERIC Program in recurrent pericarditis, an inflammatory disease of the pericardium which is associated with symptoms including debilitating chest pain, shortness of breath, and fatigue, and results in physical limitations, reduced quality of life, emergency department visits, and hospitalizations, comprises the completed Phase II MAvERIC-Pilot study (NCT05494788) and the ongoing Phase III MAVERIC trial (NCT06708299). The ongoing ARCHER trial (NCT05180240) is a Phase II study in acute myocarditis, an important cause of acute and fulminant heart failure in young adults and a leading cause of sudden cardiac death in people less than 35 years of age. The US FDA has granted Orphan Drug Designation to CardiolRxâ„¢ for the treatment of pericarditis, which includes recurrent pericarditis.
Cardiol is also developing CRD-38, a novel subcutaneously administered drug formulation intended for use in heart failure - a leading cause of death and hospitalization in the developed world, with associated healthcare costs in the United States exceeding $30 billion annually.
