Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited (ASX: TLX, Telix, the Company)
today announces it has commenced a collaboration with Kettering
Health (KH), a faith-based network of 13 hospitals, emergency
centers, and outpatient facilities located in Southwest Ohio;
headquartered at the Kettering Memorial Hospital in Kettering,
Ohio, United States.
The parties have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”)
formalising their intent to work together to foster late-stage
clinical research into Telix’s investigational PSMA1-targeting
radiopharmaceuticals, illuccix® (Kit for the preparation of
68Ga-PSMA-11 injection, for diagnostic imaging with positron
emission tomography, (PET) and Lu-177 PSMA (TLX591, for radioligand
therapy), and to establish Kettering Health as a regional centre of
excellence for PET Molecular Imaging (Ml) and Theranostics, with an
initial focus on the diagnosis and treatment of prostate
cancer.
The MOU outlines the principles of the collaboration between
Kettering Health and Telix. The parties intend to develop binding
agreements for each aspect of the collaboration, based on the
principles set out in the MOU.
Telix and Kettering Health plan to work closely with multiple
industry leaders, culminating in the rapid implementation of PET MI
technologies (imaging and theranostics) into clinical services for
patients in the region. The aim is to capitalize on the growing
demand for PET MI, catalysed by the exponential growth of new
radiopharmaceuticals in the short term, and over the longer-term,
develop a continuous pipeline of new technologies for diagnosis and
treatment of multiple diseases.
Dr Martin Satter, Senior Molecular Imaging Scientist at
Kettering Health said, “We believe PET Molecular Imaging has the
potential to quickly redefine, reimagine and reinvent the diagnosis
and treatment of cancer, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, cardiac and
other diseases. This belief has evolved and crystalized over our
30-year history in PET MI, and our current re-commitment to this
technology including our recent upgrades of a medical cyclotron,
radiochemistry lab and clean room, as well as a digital PET/CT2
scanner.
“We are excited to work with Telix – a global leader in the
field of radiopharmaceuticals and radioligand therapy to foster
research and innovation in a non-academic setting. Telix shares our
commitment to bring personalized medicine to our region through
these disruptive technologies.”
Dr Bernard Lambert, President of Telix Americas said, “This is a
collaboration that brings together leading industry, technical,
academic and clinical resources to further explore the potential of
our PSMA-targeting radiopharmaceuticals. It reinforces Telix’s
position as a leading innovator in this field, with a commitment to
driving forward both clinical development alongside the supply
chain, to support the commercialisation journey.”
