Perspective Therapeutics to Pursue Dose Escalation of [212Pb]VMT-α-NET in its Ongoing

Phase 1/2a Clinical Trial Based on Data Presented at the 2024 North American Neuroendocrine Tumor Society (NANETS) Multidisciplinary NET Medical Symposium

 

[212Pb]VMT-α-NET continued to have a favorable safety profile, with no dose-limiting toxicities observed at the two doses tested (2.5 and 5.0 mCi)
Eight of nine patients had durable control of disease. Six of nine patients had a measurable reduction of tumor volume, one of whom had a confirmed response as defined by RECIST v1.1. Signal of anti-tumor activity was generally more pronounced in patients with lower body weight
Perspective is continuing all required activities to pursue dose escalation according to Safety Monitoring Committee recommendations; recruitment is ongoing at 5.0 mCi

 

 

SEATTLE, WASHINGTON – November 21, 2024 – Perspective Therapeutics, Inc. (“Perspective” or the “Company”) (NYSE AMERICAN: CATX), a radiopharmaceutical company that is pioneering advanced treatment applications for cancers throughout the body, announced initial results from its ongoing Phase 1/2a clinical trial of [212Pb]VMT-α-NET that are being presented at the 2024 North American Neuroendocrine Tumor Society (NANETS) Multidisciplinary NET Medical Symposium taking place November 21-23, 2024 in Chicago.

 

VMT-α-NET is a somatostatin receptor type 2 (SSTR2)-targeted radiopharmaceutical therapy (RPT) that can be radiolabeled with either 203Pb for patient selection and dosimetry assessments, or 212Pb for alpha-particle therapy. Perspective received Fast Track Designation for this program from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) based on preclinical data for SSTR2-positive neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) regardless of prior treatment response.

 

This Phase 1/2a clinical trial is a multi-center open-label dose escalation, dose expansion study (clinicaltrials.gov identifier NCT05636618) of [212Pb]VMT-α-NET in patients with unresectable or metastatic SSTR2-positive NETs who have not received prior RPTs and have shown radiological evidence of disease progression in the 12 months prior to enrollment.

 

Two patients were enrolled in Cohort 1, while seven patients were enrolled in Cohort 2. As of the data cut-off date for the NANETS presentation of October 31, 2024, eight patients had completed all four doses of treatment per the study protocol, while the remaining patient had completed three doses of treatment and will be scheduled to receive a fourth dose. As of the data cut-off

 


 

date, scans were available to the study team for four patients after their fourth treatment, and post-final treatment scans were pending for the remaining five patients.

 

Per the study protocol, two patients in Cohort 1 received administered activity of 2.5 mCi per dose regardless of body weight. Based on their respective body weights, the median administered activity per kilogram of weight was 45.5 µCi/kg per dose. Seven patients in Cohort 2 received administered activity of 5.0 mCi per dose regardless of body weight. Based on their respective body weights, the median administered activity per kilogram of weight was 62.1 µCi/kg per dose, ranging from 31.8 µCi/kg to 84.6 µCi/kg per dose. One patient in Cohort 2 received two doses of 84.6 µCi/kg per dose, then received the third and fourth doses at a reduced activity level of 42.4 µCi/kg per dose due to an adverse event that was determined by the investigator to be unrelated.

 

Safety findings: No dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) were observed among any patients. No grade 4 or 5 treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) or serious adverse events (SAEs) were observed. Two grade 3 adverse events (AEs) – one case of diarrhea and one case of syncope – were observed. No decline in renal function was observed. Hematologic AEs such as decreased lymphocyte count and anemia were all grades 1 and 2. No treatment discontinuations due to AEs have occurred.

 

Activity has been observed with treatment. Eight of nine patients had durable control of disease. Six of nine patients had measurable reduction of tumor volume, one of whom had a confirmed response as defined by RECIST v1.1. The patient who experienced an objective response received the first two doses at 84.6 µCi/kg per dose, then received the remaining two doses at a reduced activity level of 42.4 µCi/kg. One patient was deemed to have progressive disease after one dose under RECIST v1.1, by unambiguous progression of non-target lesions.

 

The Safety Monitoring Committee (SMC) determined that safety observations during the DLT observation period supported proceeding with dose escalation to Cohort 3 and expanding the number of patients dosed at 5 mCi (up to 40 more patients). Based on FDA interactions prior to trial initiation, the decision to open Cohort 3 will follow consultation and alignment with the agency.

 

“I am excited to see that [212Pb]VMT-α-NET has demonstrated well-tolerated safety and appreciable activity at an early stage in this study,” said Richard L. Wahl, MD, Professor of Radiology, Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology at Washington University School of Medicine. “These early clinical results support continuation of the dose escalation of [212Pb]VMT-α-NET.”

 

Markus Puhlmann, Chief Medical Officer of Perspective, commented, “Based on the safety profile and observed anti-tumor activities at this early stage, we believe the appropriate next step for patients is to continue treatment optimization for VMT-α-NET and to explore higher administered activities. In keeping with the commitment we made to the FDA prior to the start

 


 

of dosing in this study, we expect to engage with the FDA in the coming weeks to pursue dose escalation, and an update will be provided in due course.”

 

Thijs Spoor, Chief Executive Officer of Perspective, added, “VMT-α-NET is the second investigational product from our proprietary platform to have delivered initial clinical results from a Company-sponsored dose finding study, both of which began in 2023. We are excited about our plans to file an IND by the end of this year for the third investigational product, PSV359, an internally discovered molecule that targets fibroblast activation protein-α, or FAP-α, associated with a variety of solid tumors. We look forward to seeing more data from our existing clinical programs and making progress on our plans to leverage our platform to help more patients in need in 2025.”

 

About VMT-α-NET

VMT-α-NET is a clinical-stage, targeted alpha-particle therapy (TAT) radiopharmaceutical being developed for the treatment and diagnosis of patients with somatostatin receptor subtype 2 (SSTR2) expressing neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), which are a rare and difficult-to-treat type of cancer. VMT-α-NET incorporates Perspective's proprietary lead-specific chelator (PSC) to bind 203Pb for SPECT imaging, and 212Pb for alpha particle therapy. Perspective is conducting a multi-center open-label dose escalation, dose expansion study (clinicaltrials.gov identifier NCT05636618) of [212Pb]VMT-α-NET in patients with unresectable or metastatic SSTR2-positive NETs who have not received prior radiopharmaceutical therapies (RPT). Perspective received Fast Track Designation for this program from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) based on preclinical data for SSTR2-positive NETs regardless of prior treatment response. Perspective is also collaborating with a number of thought leaders to further elucidate the clinical profile of [212Pb]VMT-α-NET through investigator-initiated studies in the U.S. as well as overseas.

 

About Neuroendocrine Tumors

Neuroendocrine tumors form in cells that interact with the nervous system or in glands that produce hormones. They can originate in various parts of the body, most often in the gut or the lungs and can be benign or malignant. Neuroendocrine tumors are typically classified as pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors or non-pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. According to cancer.net, it is estimated that more than 12,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with a NET each year. Importantly, neuroendocrine tumors are associated with a relatively long duration of survival compared to other tumors and as a result, there are over 170,000 people living with this diagnosis.

Predicted Tumor to Kidney Activity of [212Pb]VMT-α-NET Over Time (Based on Pre-Treatment [203Pb]VMT-α-NET SPECT Imaging and Dosimetry Analysis) Time activity curves for [212Pb]VMT-α-NET are derived from pre-treatment SPECT imaging using 5-7 mCi [203Pb]VMT-α-NET at 1, 4, and 24 hours (n=6). The bold line represents the average across all samples in the dataset for tumors (magenta) and kidney (blue). Measurements of %IA/L in tumors and kidneys has been corrected for partial volume effects. However, SPECT imaging may still underestimate the true tumor to kidney ratio of absorption.
