About Perspective Therapeutics,
Inc.Perspective Therapeutics, Inc. is a

212Pb to deliver powerful radiation specifically to cancer cells
via specialized targeting moieties. The Company is also developing
complementary imaging diagnostics that incorporate the same
targeting moieties which provide the opportunity to personalize
treatment and optimize patient outcomes. This "theranostic"
approach enables the ability to see the specific tumor and then
treat it to potentially improve efficacy and minimize toxicity.

neuroendocrine tumor (VMT-α-NET) programs have entered Phase 1/2a
imaging and therapy trials for the treatment of metastatic melanoma
and neuroendocrine tumors at several leading academic institutions.

secure key isotopes for clinical trial and commercial
operations.
