Nuclidium wins award to study NET radiopharmaceutical – Phase 1 Clinical Trial of TraceNET (TM)
What is TraceNETTM TraceNETTM is a a novel copper-based 'radiodiagnostic' for detecting neuroendocrine tumours (NET). The PET imaging agent candidate is the diagnostic component of NUCLIDIUM’s theranostic program, which comprises a true theranostic pair for diagnosing and treating NET patients, leveraging the company’s unique copper-based approach. The Phase 1 program for the diagnostic is the first step in its clinical development and is planned to commence in the first half of 2023. Nuclidium’s TraceNETTM program aims to overcome key limitations of existing radiodiagnostics and their corresponding therapeutics by increasing the sensitivity and diagnostic accuracy of NET imaging, including detecting metastases, while reducing the radiation burden for the patient. The TraceNETTM diagnostic consists of an imaging radioisotope (61Cu) and a somatostatin receptor (SSTR) antagonist-targeting molecule that binds with high affinity and specificity to…
