CFO Joel Sendek and Annie Cheng, VP of IR, presented.
The conversation focused on upcoming data, ph.III design, and manufacturing plans.
• CATX uses Lead-212 alpha emitters (and noted that while they use lead, other alpha emitters are also possible) rather than beta
emitters, offering superior safety and efficacy, and in particular, the team highlighted potential advantages from the proprietary
net-neutral charge chelator design that promotes kidney excretion rather than reabsorption which also retains daughter isotopes
to prevent toxic metabolites.
• The company's approach focuses on early imaging to allow pre-clinical identification of tumor targeting and healthy tissue uptake
through animal studies, providing insights unavailable with traditional TKIs or monoclonal antibodies before entering clinical
trials - reducing risk.
• The team reiterated they believe the VMT α-NET program has demonstrated strong efficacy (43% ORR in mITT), substantially
outperforming the response rates of competing NET drugs cabozantinib and LUTATHERA.
• Notably, 9/16 patients showed deepening of response, indicating drug's benefit potentially extending beyond initial response,
and the company has not yet reached median PFS but expects this endpoint will become increasingly meaningful as the program
progresses.
• VMT α-NET has also demonstrated a relatively good safety profile compared to competitive radiopharmaceuticals, with
particular success in avoiding renal toxicity.
