Written by Customer Service on . Posted in Public Companies.

AUSTIN, Texas, May 11, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Plus Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: PSTV) (the “Company”, “Plus”), today announced the closing of its previously announced definitive agreement to license multiple rare cancer product candidates from private Texas-based radiotherapeutic company NanoTx Therapeutics, Inc.
The transaction terms include an upfront payment of $400,000 in cash and $300,000 in Plus voting stock. Furthermore, the Company may pay up to $136.5 million in development and sales milestone payments and a tiered single-digit royalty on U.S. and European sales.The licensed radiotherapeutic portfolio includes nanoliposome-encapsulated radionucleotides for several cancer targets. The lead asset is a Rhenium-186-chelated NanoLiposome (RNL™), which is initially being developed for recurrent glioblastoma. RNL™ is currently being evaluated in a NIH/NCI-supported Phase 1 dose-finding clinical trial (NCT01906385) in the U.S. RNL™ is infused directly into the brain tumor via precision brain mapping and convection enhanced delivery technology to deliver very high therapeutic doses of radiation to patients whose cancer has recurred following initial surgical resection and treatment with chemotherapy and radiation. RNL™ is intended to safely and effectively deliver a dose of radiation directly to the tumor that is up to 30 times greater than that currently being given to patients using external beam radiation therapy.The growing Plus drug development portfolio consists of product candidates that can provide both significant returns for shareholders and make a clinically meaningful impact for patients. Plus Therapeutics develops drugs for niche and orphan oncology markets that address significantly unmet or substantially underserved medical needs. Each of the company’s portfolio drug candidates is estimated to have a global revenue opportunity of $250 million or more.About Plus Therapeutics, Inc.
