Telix Expands Lutetium-177 Network with Eckert & Ziegler
Clinical Supply Agreement
Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited (ASX: TLX, Telix, the Company) today
announces a global clinical supply agreement with Berlin-based
Eckert & Ziegler Strahlen- und Medizintechnik AG (EZAG) for
highly pure no-carrier-added (n.c.a.) lutetium-177 (177Lu), a
therapeutic isotope used in Telix’s portfolio of molecularly
targeted radiation (MTR) investigational products.
This agreement further enhances Telix’s existing
177Lu supplier network, which includes a commercial supply
agreement with ITM Isotope Technologies Munich SE, and clinical
supply agreements with the Australian Nuclear Science and
Technology Organisation (ANSTO), and Eczacıbaşı-Monrol
(Monrol).
As Telix advances its late-stage clinical trials
using the medical radioisotope 177Lu, it is building a global
supplier network with proximity to major international markets,
capable of consistently delivering high-quality, no-carrier-added
177Lu to patients. Each of the partners in Telix’s carefully
selected 177Lu network deliver unique operating and geographic
characteristics, enabling truly global delivery of product for
clinical studies and eventually commercial use.
EZAG will immediately commence supply of n.c.a.
177Lu for use in clinical trials of Telix’s therapeutic candidates
TLX591 (177Lu-rosopatamab for advanced prostate cancer) and TLX250
(177Lu-girentuximab for kidney cancer).
Dr. Gabriel Liberatore, Telix Group Chief
Operating Officer stated, “We are pleased to have established this
agreement with EZAG, a premier supplier of high-quality medical
radioisotopes, who is now part of our global network of lutetium
suppliers. We are committed to working with global partners with a
reputation for delivering the highest quality isotopes, and a
demonstrated commitment to environmentally sustainable production
technologies. Telix’s relationship with EZAG is a multi-isotope
partnership and we are delighted to include 177Lu access as part of
the supply chain.”
Dr. Harald Hasselmann, Executive Director
responsible for the Medical segment of Eckert & Ziegler
continued, "The agreement underlines our outstanding expertise in
delivering isotopes to the pharmaceutical industry. With our
production facilities in Europe, Asia and in North America, we are
excellently positioned to meet the increasing demand for this
isotope and related development and manufacturing services. Our
recently concluded joint venture with Atom Mines LLC provides us
with excellent access to the scarce and indispensable precursor
ytterbium-176, enabling us to supply 177Lu n.c.a. in highest purity
and reliably to pharmaceutical customers worldwide.”
