LNTH Lantheus Holdings Inc

Lantheus Holdings, Inc. (“Lantheus”) (NASDAQ: LNTH), the leading radiopharmaceutical-focused company committed to enabling clinicians to Find, Fight and Follow disease to deliver better patient outcomes, presented additional clinical data from initial topline results of the SPLASH Phase 3 trial evaluating the efficacy of 177Lu-PNT2002, a prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeted radioligand therapy (RLT), administered at 6.8 GBq every 8 weeks for up to 4 cycles in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) following progression on androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPI). Data were presented during the European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress 2024, which is taking place in Barcelona, Spain.

“We are encouraged by the initial results from the SPLASH trial, with 177Lu-PNT2002 demonstrating improvement compared to ARPI change in radiographic progression-free survival, positive interim crossover-adjusted overall survival hazard ratios, as well as improved quality of life,” said Oliver Sartor, M.D., Director of Radiopharmaceutical Trials and Professor of Medical Oncology at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. “These initial data underscore the importance of PSMA-targeted RLTs, including 177Lu-PNT2002, as potential treatment options for patients who have limited choices after progressing on ARPI therapy.”

The pivotal SPLASH trial met its primary endpoint, demonstrating a median radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) per blinded independent central review of 9.5 months for patients treated with 177Lu-PNT2002, compared to 6.0 months for patients treated with ARPI in the control arm, a statistically significant 29% reduction in the risk of radiographic progression or death (hazard ratio [HR] 0.71; p=0.0088). In the SPLASH study, 177Lu-PNT2002 patients demonstrated significantly improved ORR, PSA50 reduction, time to reduction of HRQoL, and time to opioid use for cancer-related pain in PSMA-positive mCRPC patients who had progressed on an ARPI. At the time of the analysis, 84.6% of patients who experienced progressive disease in the control arm subsequently crossed over to receive 177Lu-PNT2002. The overall survival (OS) results at 46% of protocol-specified target OS events reached had a HR of 1.11, with additional crossover adjusted HRs for rank preserving structural failure time model (RPSFTM): (1.14); Two-Stage: no recensoring (0.68); Two-Stage recensoring (0.85); and Inverse Probability Censoring Weighting (0.72).

177Lu-PNT2002 also demonstrated a favorable safety profile compared to patients treated with ARPI in the control arm. Only 3.0% of patients treated with 177Lu-PNT2002 halted or reduced therapy as a result of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), compared to 11.5% of patients treated with ARPI, and 17.1% of 177Lu-PNT2002 patients experienced serious TEAEs compared to 23.1% of ARPI patients.

Adverse Events	177Lu-PNT2002	ARPI
Treatment-related AEs grade ≥ 3	9.7% (26/269)	11.5% (15/130)
Treatment-related serious AEs	2.2% (6/269)	3.8% (5/130)
Treatment-related AEs leading to death	0.0% (0/269)	0.0% (0/130)

“177Lu-PNT2002 is outperforming the control arm and showing an improved quality of life for patients based on this interim analysis,” said Jeff Humphrey, M.D., Chief Medical Officer at Lantheus. “We are grateful to the patients and investigators who participated in this trial thereby helping to advance this important potential treatment option.”

About the SPLASH TrialThe Phase 3 SPLASH trial is a multicenter, randomized, open-label assessment of 177Lu-PNT2002 administered at 6.8 GBq for up to 4 cycles in patients with PSMA-expressing mCRPC who have progressed on ARPI therapy and refuse, or are not eligible for, chemotherapy. The randomization phase of the study randomized 412 patients across North America, Europe, and the United Kingdom. Patients were randomized 2:1 with those in arm A receiving 177Lu-PNT2002 and those in arm B receiving either abiraterone or enzalutamide. Patients in arm B who experience centrally assessed radiographic progression and meet protocol eligibility have the option to crossover and receive 177Lu-PNT2002. Patients will be followed for up to 5 years from their first 177Lu-PNT2002 dose. The primary endpoint of the study is radiographic progression-free survival.

At the time of the primary analysis, 84.6% of patients who experienced progressive disease in the control arm subsequently crossed over to receive 177Lu-PNT2002. SPLASH was conducted across the United States, Canada, Europe, and the United Kingdom. Eighty percent of SPLASH patients resided in North America and approximately 10% of all participants were Black or African American. More information about the trial is accessible at www.ClinicalTrials.gov, identifier NCT04647526.

About 177Lu-PNT2002177Lu-PNT2002 is a PSMA-targeted, lutetium 177-based radioligand therapy candidate that combines a PSMA-targeted ligand, PSMA-I&T, with the beta-emitting radioisotope no-carrier-added lutetium-177. Lantheus in-licensed exclusive worldwide commercialization rights (excluding certain Asian territories) to 177Lu-PNT2002 from POINT Biopharma (a Lilly company) in December of 2022. In April of 2023, the FDA granted Fast Track designation for 177Lu-PNT2002 for the treatment of mCRPC. Fast Track is a process designed to facilitate the development and expedite the review of drugs to treat serious conditions and address unmet medical needs.

About Prostate CancerProstate cancer is the second most common form of cancer affecting men in the United States -- an estimated one in eight men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetimes. The American Cancer Society estimates that in 2024, almost 299,010 new cases of prostate cancer will be diagnosed, and about 35,250 men will die of the disease.1
