Slide 6: Background: Tumor growth reduction in xenograft models
Background Presented by: Perry J. Pickhardt, MD • Significant tumor growth reduction and survival benefit from a single injection of 131 I - CLR1404 in a wide range of human tumor xenograft models • Weichert JP et al. Sci Trans Med (in press)
Slide 7: Purpose
Purpose R eport our initial experience with CLR1404 for localization and imaging in a broad spectrum of cancers in early human trials • PET/CT imaging with 124 I - CLR1404 - Oncologic imaging; compare with 18 FDG PET • SPECT/CT imaging with 131 I - CLR1404 - Therapeutic form of this “ diapeutic ” ag
Slide 8: Methods
Methods • IRB - approved prospective imaging protocols • All patients gave signed informed consent • Early phase trials with 124 I - CLR1404 PET and subtherapeutic 131 I - CLR1404 SPECT • Main inclusion criterion: biopsy - proven refractory advanced solid malignancy - Separate trial of primary brain
Slide 9: Methods: PET/CT scans
Methods • 124 I - CLR1404 PET/CT scans: • 64 - detector - row PET/CT scanner (Discovery VCT, GE Healthcare, Waukesha, WI) • Serial imaging out to 5 - 10 days following the injection of up to 5 mCi of 124 I - CLR1404 • 2D acquisition mode • No correction employed for the 124 I cascade gammas • Low -
Slide 10: Methods: SPECT/CT scans
Methods • 131 I - CLR1404 SPECT/CT scans: • Serial imaging ( Infinia /Hawkeye , GE Healthcare) out 21 days • Phase I dosimetry trial not designed to show therapeutic benefit • Non - contrast low - dose CT was performed using 140 kV p and 2.5 mA Presented by: Perry J. Pickhardt, MD
Slide 11: Methods: Review of imaging studies
Methods • Review of imaging studies: • All PET/CT and SPECT/CT studies were reviewed on PACS workstation (McKesson) with fusion software (Mirada XD3) • Correlation with concurrent 18 FDG PET/CT in most cases • Additional relevant cross - sectional imaging studies were also reviewed Presented by: Per
Slide 12: Initial Findings: Study Cohort
Initial Findings Study Cohort: 22 patients with metastatic cancer • Mean age, 60.4 years; 12M, 10F • Complex prior treatment histories • Tumor types: bronchogenic carcinoma (n=7), colorectal cancer (n=4), prostate cancer (n=3), triple - negative breast cancer (n=2), esophageal cancer (n=2), head & n
Slide 13: Initial Findings: PET/CT and SPECT/CT uptake
Initial Findings 124 I - CLR1404 PET/CT in 14 patients and 131 I - CLR1404 SPECT/CT in 9 patients • Preferential uptake of 124 I - and 131 I - CLR1404 within metastatic foci with all cancer subtypes • Persistent retention within metastatic sites, coupled with progressive washout of background activi
Slide 14: Initial Findings: Uptake at metastatic sites
Initial Findings 124 I - CLR1404 PET/CT in 14 patients and 131 I - CLR1404 SPECT/CT in 9 patients • CLR1404 uptake was evident in pulmonary, nodal, skeletal, hepatic, CNS, and other sites of active metastatic disease • Potential advantages in oncologic imaging over FDG PET included both fewer false

Slide 21: Limitations
Limitations • Early phase investigation in humans – Imaging protocols not standardized or optimized, precluding quantitative analysis – 131 I - CLR1404 doses subtherapeutic – Wide variety of cancer types (proof of concept) • No iodine correction • 2D mode of acquisition for PET studies
Slide 22: Further Research Opportunities
Further Research Opportunities • Selective tumor uptake of CLR1404 with prolonged retention within a broad spectrum of historically difficult - to - treat metastatic cancers – Regardless of the site of metastatic disease • Potential advantages over FDG PET observed: – Detection in cases of FDG false
Slide 23: Further Research Opportunities: Combined diagnosis and therapy
Further Research Opportunities • Combined diagnosis and therapy (“ diapeutic ” ) using the same molecule (CLR1404) may allow for truly personalized cancer care: – Ensuring pre - treatment tumor - specific uptake – Providing patient - specific dose planning – Enabling treatment - specific imaging sur
