Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited (ASX: TLX, Nasdaq: TLX, Telix, the
Company) today announces that the United Kingdom (UK) Medicines and
Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has approved the
Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) for its prostate cancer
PET1 imaging agent Illuccix® (kit for the preparation of gallium-68
gozetotide injection).
Illuccix is indicated in the UK for the
detection and localization of prostate-specific membrane antigen
(PSMA)-positive lesions in adults with prostate cancer, using PET.
PSMA-PET imaging2 represents a major advancement in prostate cancer
management, largely replacing conventional imaging methods (bone
scan, CT3 scan) as the standard of care after initial diagnosis and
biochemical recurrence (BCR). Global guidelines highlight the
superior accuracy of PSMA-PET for the staging of primary disease
and evaluation of BCR/biochemical persistence (BCP)4.
Gary Cook, MD, Professor of Molecular Imaging at
Kings College London School of Biomedical Engineering & Imaging
Sciences, commented, “PSMA-PET supply shortages in the UK and
Europe have escalated over the past 12 months as demand increases,
which has led to delays for men in urgent need of a scan to direct
clinical management. It is great news that Telix can now help
address this unmet need and improve equity of access in the UK
through their Illuccix imaging agent and network distribution
model.”
Raphaël Ortiz, Chief Executive Officer, Telix
International added, “PSMA-PET imaging is one of the most
important developments in prostate cancer detection in recent years
and we are delighted that we can now bring Illuccix to physicians
and their patients across the UK. A key advantage of Illuccix is
that the radioisotope (gallium-68) can be produced using a
generator locally, taking just a few minutes with minimal
equipment. Reliable service delivery combined with greater
scheduling flexibility, including in non-metropolitan locations,
will benefit patients, physicians and clinical sites in the
UK.”
Illuccix will be made available in the UK
through Telix’s exclusive distribution partner, Xiel Limited, a
specialist distributor of nuclear medicine, radiotherapy and
diagnostic radiology technologies across the UK and Ireland. To
order or enquire about Illuccix availability, UK healthcare
professionals can email: radiopharm@xiel.co.uk or call +44 (0)1749
