PharmaLogic's Milestone in Radiopharmaceutical Supply for Sarcoma Treatment
PharmaLogic Holdings Corp., a prominent player in the contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) sector specializing in radiopharmaceuticals, has recently achieved a significant milestone. The company announced the successful supply of the first dosing cohort of Ratio Therapeutics' investigational FAP-targeted radiopharmaceutical [Ac-225]-RTX-2358 for the ATLAS trial, a clinical study aimed at treating late-stage aggressive sarcomas. This achievement underscores PharmaLogic's commitment to advancing innovative cancer treatments and improving patient outcomes.
The ATLAS Trial: Objectives and Methodologies
The ATLAS trial, identified with the clinicaltrials.gov number NCT07156565, is structured as a Phase 1/2 open-label clinical trial. It aims to evaluate the safety, tolerability, dosimetry, biodistribution, pharmacokinetics, and initial anti-tumor activity of the FAP-targeted radiopharmaceutical in patients suffering from relapsed or refractory soft tissue sarcomas that express fibroblast activation protein (FAP).
The trial is divided into two main phases: an ascending administered activity phase (Phase 1) and an expansion phase (Phase 2). Initially, participants eligible for treatment will undergo assessments of FAP expression using a [Cu-64]-LNTH-1363S PET scan. Those found to be FAP positive will receive intravenous injections of [Ac-225]-RTX-2358 every eight weeks for up to six treatment cycles spanning a year. The design follows a standard 3+3 dose escalation model, wherein participants are assigned to one of three groups, with each group receiving progressively higher dose levels. This strategy aims to determine the maximum tolerated dose and establish a recommended dosage for the subsequent expansion phase.
During Phase 1, a maximum of 10 patients can be treated in each cohort, with 26 patients planned for evaluation. This careful approach allows for thorough characterization of both safety and tolerability while also assessing preliminary efficacy. Importantly, the safety data from each group will be reviewed by an independent Safety Review Committee before proceeding with dose escalations.
In Phase 2, the study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of [Ac-225]-RTX-2358 in up to 50 patients.
PharmaLogic's Commitment to Innovation
Etienne Montagut, the President and CEO of PharmaLogic, expressed pride in the successful collaboration with Ratio Therapeutics and the advancement of [Ac-225]-RTX-2358 into clinical trials. The first cohort doses delivered from their Bronx facility mark a significant step in their commitment to supporting the development and accessibility of innovative radiopharmaceutical therapies globally. PharmaLogic is dedicated to ensuring that patients have access to cutting-edge treatment options and collaborating with industry innovators in the field.
