Telix Pharmaceuticals and the Oncidium foundation have published results from the NOBLE Registry study of TLX599-CDx in EJNMMI Reports. The study evaluates a PSMA-SPECT imaging agent for prostate cancer using technetium-99m. Initial results from 40 patients across six countries showed that the imaging led to management changes in 42.5% of cases, with no adverse events reported.

The technology aims to improve access to prostate cancer imaging, as SPECT machines are four times more abundant globally than PET scanners. The study demonstrates that technetium-based PSMA imaging could provide a more accessible alternative to PET imaging, particularly beneficial for patients in remote locations or areas with healthcare resources.

Telix Pharmaceuticals has submitted a Biologics License Application (BLA) to the FDA for TLX250-CDx (Zircaix®), a PET imaging agent designed for kidney cancer diagnosis. The drug specifically targets clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), the most aggressive form of kidney cancer. If approved, TLX250-CDx will be the first targeted PET agent for kidney cancer available in the U.S. market.

The product has received Breakthrough designation and may qualify for priority review. The company aims for a full U.S. commercial launch in 2025. The FDA will announce the PDUFA goal date following a 60-day administrative review period.
