Berlin, Germany and Sydney, Australia – 08. October 2024 – Eckert & Ziegler (ISIN DE0005659700, SDAX) and GlyTherix Ltd (GlyTherix), an Australian targeted radiotherapy company specialising in developing antibody radiopharmaceuticals for solid tumors, today announced a new global clinical supply agreement. Eckert & Ziegler will provide its GMP grade non-carrier added Lutetium-177 chloride (n.c.a. Lu-177) for use in GlyTherix’s clinical trials focused on innovative treatments for aggressive and invasive cancers.
GlyTherix’s radiotherapy approach combines Lu-177 with an antibody targeting Glypican-1, a protein found in aggressive cancers, to deliver localized radiation while sparing healthy tissue. Glypican-1 is an attractive tumor target that occurs in several aggressive and invasive cancers including prostate, pancreatic, bladder, lung, glioblastoma and ovarian cancer. GlyTherix plans to use 177Lu-DOTA-Miltuximab® in its planned Australian Phase Ib in early 2025, followed by US Phase II trials in 2026.
Dr. Harald Hasselmann, CEO of Eckert & Ziegler commented, “We are happy to collaborate with GlyTherix in their mission to develop cutting-edge radiopharmaceuticals. Contributing to the success of such innovative treatments in clinical trials and beyond with our high-quality radioisotopes including Lutetium-177 is our distinct goal.”
Dr. Brad Walsh, GlyTherix Chief Executive Officer said, “We are very pleased to partner with Eckert & Ziegler to provide patients with innovative targeted radiotherapy treatments. As GlyTherix advances its clinical trials using the medical radioisotope Lu-177, it is building a global supplier network with proximity to major global markets, capable of consistently delivering high-quality radioisotopes to patients. This agreement with Eckert & Ziegler strengthens our global clinical supply network and underscores our commitment to enhancing our global radiopharmaceutical manufacturing capabilities to meet increase demand”.
