POINT Biopharma Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 Financial Results and Provides Business Highlights

Signed Strategic Collaboration Agreement with Lantheus Holdings Inc. for POINT’s PNT2002 and PNT2003 product candidates

Completed enrollment for randomization phase of PNT2002’s phase 3 SPLASH registrational trial, with top line data expected in the second half of 2023

INDIANAPOLIS, March 27, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — POINT Biopharma Global Inc. (NASDAQ: PNT) (the “Company” or “POINT”), a company accelerating the discovery, development, and global access to life-changing radiopharmaceuticals, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2022 and provided a business update.

“POINT continued to make significant progress in 2022, enabled by our company’s deep expertise in radioligands and our vertically integrated, highly differentiated radioligand platform,” said Joe McCann, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of POINT Biopharma. “For PNT2002, POINT’s lutetium-177-labelled PSMA-targeted program, we both completed enrollment of the randomization phase of our phase 3 trial and also entered into a strategic collaboration for its commercialization with Lantheus, a leader in PSMA PET imaging. I am proud of our agreement with Lantheus as it positions PNT2002 and PNT2003 for maximum commercial success and validates the value of our radioligand platform. In December 2022, we received $260 million in upfront payments from Lantheus and have the potential to receive an additional $1.8 billion in future milestone payments as well as meaningful double-digit royalties. These upfront payments, together with net proceeds of $130 million from our successful follow-on financing in September 2022, strengthen our balance sheet, starting 2023 with over $540 million in cash, cash equivalents and investments. We are in the fortunate position to be able to expand our pipeline, and to strengthen our manufacturing and supply chain capabilities.”

“We also made meaningful progress in 2022 pushing forward our pipeline of next generation radioligand therapies,” Dr. McCann continued. “PNT2004, our pan-cancer FAP-α-targeted program, entered its first in-human phase 1 clinical trial. We advanced PNT2001, our next-generation actinium-225 PSMA-targeted program, to enable the initiation of our phase 1 study later this year. Finally, on radioligand manufacturing and supply, a core competency of POINT, we made significant headway on the construction of our n.c.a. lutetium-177 production line, which we expect to come online by the end of this year. Thank you to the patients, health care professionals, partners, and investors who have all contributed to our continued success. We remain laser-focused on delivering the next generation of radioligands.”

Business Highlights and Upcoming Milestones

Pipeline Updates

PNT2002: ¹⁷⁷Lu-labelled PSMA-targeted radioligand therapy, and PNT2003: ¹⁷⁷Lu-labelled somatostatin-targeted radioligand therapy

In December 2022, we closed our previously announced strategic collaboration and exclusive license agreements with Lantheus Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: LNTH) for exclusive worldwide rights for PNT2002 and PNT2003, excluding certain territories (Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Indonesia, and China including Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan). In December 2022, we received a $260 million upfront payment and could receive an additional payment of up to a combined $280 million upon U.S. regulatory approval for both PNT2002 and PNT2003, by the terms of our agreement with Lantheus.

In December 2022, the target enrollment for randomization of the phase 3 SPLASH trial was completed on schedule, with more than 390 participants randomized across 55 SPLASH trial sites in North America, Europe, and the U.K. We expect to report top line data from SPLASH in the second half of 2023.

In late 2022, we received the OZM-067 clinical trial data sets from the trial sponsor. POINT will facilitate the analysis of the data sets. As per the strategic collaboration and exclusive license agreement, Lantheus will be responsible for all subsequent development of the asset post initial regulatory filings within the U.S., and for all development efforts in their territories.

PNT2004: fibroblast activation protein-α (FAP-α) inhibitor-targeted radioligand therapy

We initiated our phase 1 FRONTIER clinical trial for PNT6555 in July 2022 in Canada using a ⁶⁸Ga-based PNT6555 molecular imaging agent to select patients to receive a n.c.a. ¹⁷⁷Lu-based PNT6555 therapeutic agent. FRONTIER’s clinical protocol evaluates PNT6555 in approximately 30 patients in five FAP-avid cancer indications: colorectal, pancreatic, esophageal, melanoma, and soft tissue sarcoma.

Enrollment in cohort 2 of FRONTIER began in December 2022 and we expect enrollment in cohort 3 to begin in the second quarter of 2023. A total of six participants have been dosed with ¹⁷⁷Lu-PNT6555 to date. We anticipate data from the full FRONTIER study to be available in the first half of 2024.

Manufacturing & Supply Chain Updates:

Our Indianapolis manufacturing facility began production of n.c.a. ¹⁷⁷Lu-PNT2002 clinical trial product in January 2022. In addition to our manufacturing facility in Indianapolis, Indiana, we also maintain active relationships with radiopharmaceutical contract manufacturers and isotope suppliers across multiple geographies. We expect the line for our in-house production of n.c.a. ¹⁷⁷Lu to come online by the end of 2023.
