Radiopharm Theranostics represents a promising investment opportunity in the rapidly growing field of radiopharmaceuticals, leveraging its innovative technology platform and diverse clinical pipeline.
Radiopharm Theranostics (ASX:RAD) is an innovative biopharmaceutical company specializing in the development of radiopharmaceutical products for both diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Founded with a mission to address significant unmet medical needs, particularly in oncology, the company has positioned itself at the forefront of the rapidly evolving field of precision medicine.
Radiopharm Theranostics presents a compelling value proposition for investors, characterized by several key factors:
Lantheus’ investment in Radiopharm marks a pivotal moment for both companies and holds substantial implications for the field of theranostics. The funding will facilitate Radiopharm's research and development efforts, accelerating its product pipeline and market presence. Under the agreement, Radiopharm will transfer two early preclinical assets to Lantheus for a further AU$3 million, fostering a collaborative relationship focused on radiopharmaceutical development. The collaboration positions Radiopharm to capitalize on the increasing demand for theranostic solutions, aligning with trends in personalized medicine. Moreover, this financial backing will support clinical trials and operational needs, while also aiming for the commercialization of their products.
Radiopharm has four licensed platform technologies – nanobody, peptide, small molecules and monoclonal antibodies (mAb) – with diagnostic and therapeutic applications in both pre-clinical and clinical stages of development.
Radiopharm’s clinical stage development in the pipeline include:
The company recently received FDA approval for its investigational new drug application for 18-Pivalate (RAD 101). Labelled with the radioisotope F18, Pivalate is a small molecule that targets fatty acids synthase, which is overexpressed in brain tumours but not in normal cells.
Positive data from the company’s Phase 2 imaging trial of 17 patients with brain metastases has shown significant tumour uptake. Radiopharm holds an exclusive global license for the Pivalate platform.
Radiopharm highlights that Pivalate is potentially a new target for radiopharmaceutical brain imaging agents, and its unique mechanism of action may offer eligible patients a better option in relation to current imaging technology, which has many limitations.

Data demonstrates improvement in cardiac function and reductions in cardiac hypertrophy, remodeling, inflammation, and cell death - key underlying mechanisms in heart failure
Cardiol Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ: CRDL) (TSX: CRDL) ("Cardiol" or the "Company"), a clinical-stage life sciences company focused on developing anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic therapies for the treatment of heart disease, announced today the publication of research in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology: Basic to Translational Science ("JACBTS"), titled "Cannabidiol Prevents Heart Failure Dysfunction and Remodeling Through Preservation of Mitochondrial Function and Calcium Handling" (www.jacc.orgdoiabs10.1016j.jacbts.2024.12.009). This research was conducted by scientists from Tecnológico de Monterrey who, together with researchers from the DeBakey Heart and Vascular Center in Houston, TX, are collaborating with Cardiol on the development of the Company's proprietary subcutaneous ("SubQ") formulation of cannabidiol, CRD-38, to treat heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. This common form of heart failure remains a leading cause of hospitalization worldwide and is associated with a five-year mortality that exceeds 75% in hospitalized patients.
"We are very pleased to see these comprehensive new findings from our international research collaboration culminate in this publication in one of the JACC family of journals, which are some of the most widely read, most impactful cardiovascular journals in the world," said Dr. Andrew Hamer, Cardiol Therapeutics' Chief Medical Officer and Head of Research & Development. "Heart failure progression is characterized by fibrosis, inflammation, and decreased contractile function of the myocardium, in part driven by mitochondrial dysfunction. The JACBTS publication provides fascinating new data that suggest a key mode of action of CRD-38 to potentially treat heart failure is through its ability to sustain cardiomyocytes, the muscle cells of the heart, and preserve mitochondrial function, the energy producing structures in cardiac cells. We look forward to incorporating this new information into our CRD-38 development program as we complete the IND-enabling work necessary to support advancing this novel drug candidate into clinical development."
These newly published data demonstrate that pharmaceutically manufactured cannabidiol, administered subcutaneously, provides cardioprotection in a pre-clinical model of heart failure by improving cardiac function and reducing cardiac hypertrophy, remodeling, inflammation, and cell death, and provides additional important rationale for the development of CRD-38 as a new approach to the treatment of heart failure.
The JACBTS publication comprises results from multiple models of heart failure:
Together, these results highlight the importance of mitochondrial function and the role Cardiol's small molecule drug candidate plays in protecting the heart against mitochondrial stress. The authors concluded that SubQ cannabidiol prevented inflammation and pathologic cardiac structural changes such as hypertrophy and preserved heart function. Cellular investigations suggest that this cardioprotective effect is achieved by the preservation of cardiac muscle cell shortening, sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium uptake, mitochondrial function, and redox balance which adds to the understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms by which CRD-38 can improve heart failure.
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, CardiolRx™ (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 CardiolRx™ 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 CardiolRx™ 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.

All four of the main ready-to-drink ("RTD") flavours of CWENCH Hydration™ ( Rainbow Swirl , Blue Raspberry , Cherry Lime , and Berry Crush ) are being stocked in Canco's storefronts. Some locations are also carrying Tropical Flow , the recently announced limited-edition flavour of CWENCH Hydration™ created as part of Cizzle Brands' collaboration with Canadian youth hockey influencer Coach Chippy .
This placement further solidifies the presence of CWENCH Hydration™ in Canadian gas stations, with Cizzle Brands having recently announced that the beverage is being sold at MacEwan's, a 54-location chain of gas stations in Ontario and Quebec. To strategically scale the footprint of CWENCH Hydration™, Cizzle Brands has also placed CWENCH Hydration™ into Canadian grocery chains including Fortinos and Metro .
Cizzle Brands Founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer, John Celenza commented, "As awareness of CWENCH Hydration™ continues to grow across the country, so does demand at the retail level. We are therefore proud to be adding CWENCH Hydration™ to the refrigerators of Canco, who has a strong presence in Western Canada along with multiple other provinces. The full range of CWENCH flavours will be sold in all 138 Canco locations across Canada, and this footprint is an important part of our playbook as we continue commercializing the product throughout North America. We are excited to be working with Canco, who we believe will be a valuable partner for CWENCH Hydration™ and our long-term growth plan for the Company, and their strong presence in Western Canada is an important part of our playbook as we commercialize the product across the country."
