Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited (ASX: TLX; Nasdaq: TLX, Telix, the
Company) today announces that it has submitted its Biologics
License Application (BLA) to the United States (U.S.) Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) for TLX250-CDx (Zircaix®1, 89Zr- girentuximab)
kidney cancer imaging2.
TLX250-CDx is an investigational PET3 drug
product for the non-invasive diagnosis and characterization of
clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), the most common and
aggressive form of kidney cancer. If approved, TLX250-CDx will be
the first and only targeted PET agent specifically for kidney
cancer to be commercially available in the U.S., further building
on Telix’s successful urology imaging franchise.
The FDA is expected to advise the PDUFA4 goal
date following the 60-day administrative review of the
application.
Kevin Richardson, Chief Executive Officer,
Precision Medicine at Telix, stated, “We are pleased to be
progressing the BLA for TLX250-CDx, which has been granted
Breakthrough designation, and may therefore be eligible for
priority review. Telix continues to target a full U.S. commercial
launch in 2025 addressing a major unmet medical need for patients
with suspected ccRCC.”
About TLX250-CDx
TLX250-CDx (Zircaix®1) is an investigational PET
agent that is under development for the diagnosis and
characterization of ccRCC. Telix’s pivotal Phase III ZIRCON trial
(ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT03849118) evaluating TLX250-CDx in
300 patients, of whom 284 were evaluable, met all primary and
secondary endpoints, including showing 86% sensitivity and 87%
specificity and a 93% positive-predictive value for ccRCC across
three independent radiology readers5. Telix believes this
demonstrated the ability of TLX250-CDx to reliably detect the clear
cell phenotype and provide an accurate, non-invasive method for
diagnosing and characterizing ccRCC. Confidence intervals exceeded
expectations amongst all three readers, showing evidence of high
accuracy and consistency of interpretation.
