Telix to Showcase New ZIRCON Phase III Kidney Cancer Imaging Data and Theranostic Pipeline at EANM

Melbourne (Australia) | 6 September 2023

Telix today announces presentations featuring the Company’s theranostic programs at the 36th Annual Congress of the European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM) to be held in Vienna from 9 – 13 September 2023.

Further data from Telix’s completed pivotal Phase III ZIRCON study of TLX250-CDx (89Zr-DFO-girentuximab) in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03849118) will be presented in on oral session on Sunday 10 September.

In addition, the congress program features the following Telix initiatives:

  • Sponsored symposium on personalised diagnostics in urological cancers: the promise of nuclear medicine;
  • Phase III ProstACT GLOBAL study of TLX591 investigational prostate cancer therapy;
  • Artificial intelligence (AI) Segmentation and primary characterisation of prostate cancer lesions using models trained on 68Ga‑PSMA‑11 image datasets;
  • Nobody Left Behind (NOBLE) Registry of Telix’s single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)-based prostate cancer imaging agent TLX599-CDx;[1] and,
  • A preclinical evaluation of carbonic anhydrase IX- (CAIX)-targeted lutetium-177 radionuclide therapy in combination with immune checkpoint inhibition.

Dr Colin Hayward, Telix Chief Medical Officer, said, “We are pleased to be so well represented at this year’s EANM Annual Congress, with a sponsored symposium and abstracts accepted across Telix’s late-stage prostate and kidney cancer imaging and therapy programs. In addition, our innovations in AI and quantum computing for prostate cancer segmentation and characterisation will be featured in an oral presentation.

“Once again, we will be supporting the EANM Sanjiv Sam Gambhir Young Investigator Award, an exciting opportunity for a junior physician or scientist to further develop their career in radiopharmaceuticals. We look forward to seeing you at booth number 241 to discuss Telix’s industry leading theranostic pipeline and opportunities for collaboration.”
