PARIS, Curium, a world leader in nuclear medicine, announced today that it has entered into a strategic partnership with PDRadiopharma Inc, a wholly-owned subsidiary of PeptiDream, for the clinical development, regulatory filing, and commercialization in Japan of 177Lu-PSMA-IandT and 64Cu-PSMA-IandT. The two agents 177Lu-PSMA-IandT and 64Cu-PSMA-IandT target prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) expressed on prostate cancer cells and are being investigated for prostate cancer treatment and diagnostics. Both target tumors with high levels of PSMA expression and thus potentially forming a theranostic (therapeutic and diagnostic) pair. Under the terms of the partnership, Curium and PDRadiopharma will jointly collaborate on clinical development activities of 177Lu-PSMA-IandT and 64Cu-PSMA-IandT in Japan, with PDRadiopharma leading regulatory filing, manufacturing, commercialization, and distribution activities in Japan. Curium will continue to lead global development of the two agents and support PDRadiopha rma through technology transfer to support the set-up of manufacturing lines in Japan - including a high throughput Copper 64 manufacturing line based on Curium's proprietary technology.
