MELBOURNE, Australia and INDIANAPOLIS, June 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited (ASX: TLX, Telix, the Company) is pleased to announce that its prostate cancer imaging agent, Illuccix® (kit for preparation of gallium Ga 68 gozetotide), is now available at selected pharmacies in the Jubilant Radiopharma network. Illuccix is now available to order from 139 pharmacy sites across the United States, ensuring scheduling flexibility and patient access to advanced prostate cancer imaging.

Our goal is to ensure broad access to PSMA PET imaging from the largest metropolitan cities to regional areas and the expansion of the distribution network to include Jubilant Radiopharma puts an Illuccix scan within reach of even more patients in need."

About Illuccix® (kit for the preparation of gallium Ga 68 gozetotide injection)

Telix's lead product, Illuccix® (kit for the preparation of gallium Ga 68 gozetotide injection), also known as ⁶⁸Ga PSMA-11 injection, has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA),^[1] and by the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA).^[2] Telix is also progressing marketing authorisation applications for this investigational candidate in Europe^[3] and Canada.^[4] Illuccix is currently being investigated in combination with BgRT treatment.

Illuccix®, after radiolabeling with Ga 68, is a radioactive diagnostic agent indicated for positron emission tomography (PET) of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positive lesions in men with prostate cancer:

with suspected metastasis who are candidates for initial definitive therapy
with suspected recurrence based on elevated serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

Risk for Misdiagnosis

Image interpretation errors can occur with gallium Ga 68 gozetotide PET. A negative image does not rule out the presence of prostate cancer and a positive image does not confirm the presence of prostate cancer. The performance of gallium Ga 68 gozetotide for imaging of biochemically recurrent prostate cancer seems to be affected by serum PSA levels and by site of disease. The performance of gallium Ga 68 gozetotide for imaging of metastatic pelvic lymph nodes prior to initial definitive therapy seems to be affected by Gleason score. Gallium Ga 68 gozetotide uptake is not specific for prostate cancer and may occur with other types of cancer as well as non-malignant processes such as Paget's disease, fibrous dysplasia, and osteophytosis. Clinical correlation, which may include histopathological evaluation of the suspected prostate cancer site, is recommended.

Radiation Risks

Gallium Ga 68 gozetotide contributes to a patient's overall long-term cumulative radiation exposure. Long-term cumulative radiation exposure is associated with an increased risk for cancer. Ensure safe handling to minimize radiation exposure to the patient and health care workers. Advise patients to hydrate before and after administration and to void frequently after administration.

ADVERSE REACTIONS

The safety of gallium Ga 68 gozetotide was evaluated in 960 patients, each receiving one dose of gallium Ga 68 gozetotide. The average injected activity was 188.7 ± 40.7 MBq (5.1 ± 1.1 mCi). No serious adverse reactions were attributed to gallium Ga 68 gozetotide. The most commonly reported adverse reactions were nausea, diarrhea, and dizziness, occurring at a rate of < 1%.

DRUG INTERACTIONS

Androgen deprivation therapy and other therapies targeting the androgen pathway

Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and other therapies targeting the androgen pathway, such as androgen receptor antagonists, can result in changes in uptake of gallium Ga 68 gozetotide in prostate cancer. The effect of these therapies on performance of gallium Ga 68 gozetotide PET has not been established.
