- Novel targeted radiotherapy-based combination
being studied as potential backbone therapy potential relapsed or
refractory acute myeloid leukemia
- Actimab-A + CLAG-M produced high rates of
response, measurable residual disease negativity, bone marrow
transplant access and improved survival outcomes in high-risk
patients including TP53+ and venetoclax treated patients
- SNMMI oral presentation
highlighted dosimetry results and safety data supporting this
novel radiotherapy combination
NEW
YORK, June 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Actinium
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE AMERICAN: ATNM) (Actinium or the
Company), a leader in the development of Antibody Radiation
Conjugates (ARCs) and other targeted radiotherapies, today
highlighted data from the completed Phase 1b combination trial of Actimab-A + CLAG-M in
patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (r/r
AML) at the 2024 Society of Nuclear Medicine & Molecular
Imaging (SNMMI) Annual Meeting held June
8 – 11, 2024, in Toronto,
Canada. Actimab-A is an ARC comprised of a CD33 targeting
monoclonal antibody conjugated with the alpha-particle emitter
Actinium-225 isotope payload. Actimab-A has been studied as a
single agent and in combination with chemotherapies and targeted
therapies in Phase 1 and Phase 2 trials.
Sandesh Seth, Actinium's Chairman
and CEO, said, "These results demonstrate the immense potential of
targeted radiotherapy via ARCs from both an efficacy and safety
perspective. Through the use of dosimetry, we can estimate
radiation doses to the target organ and non-targeted healthy organs
and as observed in this trial, we saw no safety signals for the
kidneys, liver or other major organs. Together with the potent
efficacy, particularly in these high-risk relapse and refractory
patients, we are highly excited by the building clinical profile
Actimab-A. We look forward to continuing to advance our Actimab-A
program as a broad-based combination approach with targeted and
non-targeted therapies in collaboration with the NCI for the
benefit of AML patients who are eligible for targeted
radiotherapy."
The Phase 1b Actimab-A + CLAG-M
combination trial enrolled patients with high-risk r/r AML with the
following features:
- Median age of 62 with patients up to 73 years old
- 91% of patients had intermediate (n=3, 13%) or adverse
cytogenetics (n=18, 78%)
- Over 50% of patients had a TP53 mutation
- Median of 2 lines of prior therapy (range:1-5) including:
- Prior bone marrow transplant: 57%
- Prior venetoclax treatment: 57%
Despite the high-risk profile of the patients on the study, the
combination of Actimab-A + CLAG-M produced high rates of response
and measurable residual disease negativity and improved survival
outcomes across all patient subsets:

64% of eligible patients proceeded to bone marrow transplant

Dosimetry and Safety:
- A validated pharmacokinetic model was used to estimate the
biodistribution of Actimab-A based on the distribution of CD33+ AML
blast cells based on data derived from patients in the Phase
1b study
- Across all dose levels including 0.75 µCi/kg, which was
determined to be the optimal dose, and 1.0 µCi/kg (the highest dose
in the Phase 1b study) radiation
doses for key organs were well below known tolerance levels with
external beam radiation therapy (EBRT)
- No safety signals for major organs such as liver, heart,
kidneys, lungs and intestines were observed and a safety profile
consistent with that expected in heavily pre-treated r/r AML
patients given salvage therapy
- A single 30-minute administration of Actimab-A results in rapid
radiation delivery and clearance with peak concentration reached
around 0.6 hours and undetectable in the blood by 48 hours after
administration
- The dose of 0.75 µCi/kg was identified as optimal for this
combination therapy and will be further evaluated in the next stage
of clinical development
About the SNMMI Annual Meeting
The SNMMI Annual Meeting is recognized as the premier
educational, scientific, research, and networking event in nuclear
medicine and molecular imaging. The four-day event, taking place
each June, provides physicians, technologists, pharmacists,
laboratory professionals, and scientists with an in-depth view of
the latest research and development in the field as well as
providing insights into practical applications for the clinic.
About Actinium Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Actinium develops targeted radiotherapies to meaningfully
improve survival for people who have failed existing oncology
therapies. Advanced pipeline candidates Iomab-B (pre-BLA & MAA
(EU)), an induction and conditioning agent prior to bone marrow
transplant, and Actimab-A (National Cancer Institute CRADA pivotal
development path), a therapeutic agent, have demonstrated potential
to extend survival outcomes for people with relapsed and refractory
acute myeloid leukemia. Actinium plans to advance Iomab-B for other
blood cancers and next generation conditioning candidate Iomab-ACT
to improve cell and gene therapy outcomes. Actinium holds more than
230 patents and patent applications including several patents
related to the manufacture of the isotope Ac-225 in a
cyclotron.
