225Ac-Satoreotide is a first-in-class somatostatin receptor 2 antagonist targeting extensive stage small cell lung cancer and is the first antagonist labelled with 225Ac to enter clinical development Satoreotide expressed a superior pharmacokinetic profile relative to DOTA-TATE with a higher pre-clinical anti-tumour efficacy, irrespective of radionuclide used 100% survival with a single dose of 30 kBq 225Ac-satoreotide but not with 225Ac-DOTA-TATE BERLIN, Oct. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Ariceum Therapeutics (Ariceum), a private biotech company developing radiopharmaceutical products for the diagnosis and treatment of certain hard-to-treat cancers, today announces that it presented data on its proprietary radiolabelled peptide SS0110 (satoreotide), a first-in-class antagonist of the somatostatin receptor 2 (SSTR2), at this year's European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM) Annual Conference, held in Hamburg, Germany from 19-23 October 2024. The Top-Rated Oral Presentation (TROP) entitled '225Ac-SSO110 induces long-lasting anti-tumour responses in contrast to 225Ac-DOTA-TATE and 161Tb-DOTA-TATE in the treatment of SSTR2-positive tumour xenografts', details the anti-tumour efficacy of different radiolabelled satoreotide antagonists (225Ac, 161Tb, 177Lu-labelled SSO110) versus respective DOTA-TATE agonists (225Ac- and 161Tb-labelled DOTA-TATE) in mice engrafted with SSTR2 positive xenografts of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and pancreatic cancer using clinically relevant associated dose ranges. Results demonstrate that 225Ac-satoreotide shows the strongest anti-tumoural effect in vivo at a low single dose when evaluating satoreotide and DOTA-TATE radiolabelled with different radionuclides. Irrespective of the radionuclides used, satoreotide demonstrated a higher pre-clinical anti-tumour efficacy when compared to DOTA-TATE which was less potent and required increased dose levels. Satoreotide was well tolerated across all dose levels and with all used radionuclides. These comparisons between satoreotide and DOTA-TATE will facilitate and guide further clinical development of satoreotide across multiple indications expressing SSTR2, such as SCLC, pancreatic cancers and Merkel Cell Carcinoma (MCC). Previous comparisons between satoreotide and DOTA-TATE demonstrated that antagonist, 225Ac-satoreotide, is multiple times more potent than SSTR2 agonist, 225Ac-DOTA-TATE, signifying a durable complete response in standard murine xenograft models of SCLC in animal models, versus tumour growth delay. Ariceum had previously shown at the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) Annual Meeting 2024 that 212Pb was not seen to be more potent than Lutetium or Terbium but caused more side effects and hence was not further pursued. Manfred Rüdiger, Chief Executive Officer at Ariceum Therapeutics, said: "These results provide strong evidence for satoreotide and its potential to clinically outperform SSTR2 targeting agonists, by demonstrating significantly better efficacy in tumour growth control, up to complete tumour eradication depending on isotope used. In addition, when a single dose of 30 kBq 225Ac-satoreotide was administered, we observed high frequency of complete durable responses and 100% survival which strongly supports further clinical development for the treatment of SCLC, MCC and other cancers."

Novel iodine radiolabelled PARP inhibitor (rPARPi) entering clinical development in Phase 1 trial to assess safety and early efficacy Dose escalation study followed by expansion cohorts in recurrent glioblastoma with potential to move into primary glioblastoma BERLIN, July 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Ariceum Therapeutics (Ariceum), a private biotech company developing radiopharmaceutical products for the diagnosis and treatment of certain hard-to-treat cancers, today announces that it has commenced a Phase 1 first-in-human clinical trial (CITADEL-123) of 123I-ATT001, its Iodine-123 labelled PARP inhibitor, in patients with recurrent glioblastoma. The trial opened at University College London Hospitals (UCLH) and will assess the safety and early efficacy of Ariceum's radiotherapeutic candidate, ATT001. UCLH consultant medical oncologist, Dr Paul Mulholland, designed the trial and is also chief investigator of the study. Ariceum is the first company to sponsor a clinical trial of Auger therapy for recurrent glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer with a high unmet medical need. The initiation of the Phase 1 clinical trial follows Ariceum's submission of a Clinical Trial Authorisation (CTA) application to the UK's Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) in December 2023 and subsequent approval received from the MHRA in February 2024. The trial has commenced at UCLH, with other sites due to open in the UK and EU later this year. The dose escalation study will be followed by expansion cohorts at a recommended dose in monotherapy and in combination with other therapies in recurrent glioblastoma, with the potential to move into primary glioblastoma. Manfred Rüdiger, Chief Executive Officer at Ariceum Therapeutics, said: "The start of this clinical trial marks a significant clinical milestone for Ariceum's targeted radionuclide therapy, ATT001, especially so soon after receiving approval from the MHRA. We are very pleased to have begun the trial and hope it will bring a much-needed therapy to patients affected by glioblastoma, an aggressive and devastating form of brain cancer." Germo Gericke, Chief Medical Officer at Ariceum Therapeutics, commented: "Recurrent glioblastoma is a very challenging brain cancer with currently no cure and limited treatment options. Ariceum's radiotherapeutic, ATT001, has demonstrated promising pre-clinical results as a potential treatment for patients. We hope to achieve further favourable results in the clinic from our continued collaboration with the team at UCLH, led by Dr Paul Mulholland." Dr Paul Mulholland, who leads the Glioblastoma Research Group at the UCL Cancer Institute, added: "We have been working with Ariceum Therapeutics for some years to develop this study. It will allow us to deliver a low level of radioactivity directly into the tumour of patients with recurrent glioblastoma. I'm very pleased that this clinical trial is now opening." ATT001 delivers its radioisotope payload, Iodine-123, in a highly targeted way to cancer cells expressing PARP, an enzyme they use to repair their DNA. This radioisotope emits low energy Auger electrons, which deposit their energy over short distances, making them particularly useful for causing lethal damage to cancer cells while sparing healthy tissue. An additional benefit of using Iodine-123 is that this isotope is more widely available than others, being produced in a cyclotron. Ariceum in parallel is also exploring 123I-ATT001 in other solid tumour indications, as PARP is a validated target, highly expressed in several other cancers.

SST2 antagonist, 225Ac-SSO110 (satoreotide), is multiple times more potent than SST2 agonist, 225Ac-DOTATATE Satoreotide demonstrated durable complete response in standard murine xenograft models of Small Cell Lung Cancer in animal models, versus tumor growth delay with 225Ac-DOTATATE BERLIN, June 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Ariceum Therapeutics (Ariceum), a private biotech company developing radiopharmaceutical products for the diagnosis and treatment of certain hard-to-treat cancers, today announces that it will be presenting a poster demonstrating the efficacy of its somatostatin receptor 2 (SST2) antagonist, SS0110 (satoreotide), relative to SST2-targeting agonists, at this year's Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) Annual Meeting being held 8-11 June 2024 in Toronto, Canada. The poster presentation entitled '[225Ac]Ac-SSO110 and [177Lu]Lu-SSO110 demonstrate significantly better efficacy than [225Ac]Ac-DOTA-TATE in the treatment of SST2-positive tumor xenografts' compares satoreotide with the SST2 agonist, 225Ac-DOTATATE, and reveals that single doses of 20 MBq 177Lu-satoreotide or 30 kBq 225Ac-satoreotide induce significantly better efficacy than a single dose of 30 kBq 225Ac-DOTATATE. Most remarkably, 30 kBq 225Ac-satoreotide induced complete tumor regression in the NCI-H69 model, something not observed with the same or higher doses of 225Ac-DOTATATE. These data highlight the significantly higher tumor uptake and longer tumor retention leading to a higher tumor to background and tumor to kidney ratios of satoreotide which translates into higher pre-clinical efficacy than SST2-targeting agonists when labelled with isotopes, 225Ac-satoreotide and 177Lu-satoreotide. This demonstrates the potential for satoreotide to clinically outperform SST2-targeting agonists and strongly supports its further clinical development for the treatment of SST2 positive tumors such as Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) and Merkel Cell Carcinoma (MCC). Manfred Rüdiger, Chief Executive Officer at Ariceum Therapeutics, said: "With this significant data we demonstrate that satoreotide has the potential to be a game changer for the treatment of SCLC and MCC. Satoreotide is multiple times more potent than DOTATATE, irrespective of the isotope, and this confirms the superiority of SST2 antagonist over agonist. We look forward to presenting our findings at this year's SNMMI meeting."
