H1 2024 operational highlights

• For the Phase III ProstACT GLOBAL trial (TLX591), the Investigational New Drug application was cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and site activation commenced in the U.S.

  • Regulatory filing of a New Drug Application (NDA) for a new PSMA-PET³ product (TLX007-CDx) accepted by the FDA.
  • Regulatory filings for two additional new products: TLX101-CDx (Pixclara^®4 for imaging of glioma) and TLX250- CDx (Zircaix^®4 for imaging of kidney cancer) expected in Q3 2024, and Q4 2024⁵, respectively.
  • Illuccix^® European Union (EU) and United Kingdom (UK) submissions progressing in line with expectations and in accordance with guidance to industry. All questions raised by the German Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices (Bundesinstitut für Arzneimittel und Medizinprodukte, BfArM) as EU competent authority during standard review “clock-stop” period have been addressed. The UK Medicines & Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) regulator’s assessment report has been received with no substantive issues raised. Decisions expected in H2 2024.
  • Illuccix^® submission with the Brazilian Health Regulatory Agency (Agencia Nacional de Vigilancia Sanitaria, ANVISA) in the final stages of review with an approval decision anticipated during Q3 2024 based on current information. Approval is expected, however regulator has been experiencing strike action.

• Completion of the ARTMS and IsoTherapeutics acquisitions further enhance ongoing vertical integration strategy, delivering greater control over supply chain and additional self-sufficiency and capabilities in manufacturing, particularly for gallium-68 (⁶⁸Ga) and zirconium-89 (⁸⁹Zr) to support near-term revenue and margin growth.

Dr Christian Behrenbruch, Managing Director and Group Chief Executive Officer, commented on the result:

“Telix continues to grow revenue from Illuccix^®, increase gross profit margin and manage costs effectively, while investing for future growth. Our achievements in the first half of 2024 have created value for shareholders and positioned the Company for success on multiple fronts. Building on our commercial success with Illuccix^®, we are focused on expanding the near-term opportunity in precision medicine diagnostics with three new products planned for launch in 2025, subject to regulatory approval. At the same time, new efficacy data from the ProstACT SELECT trial has reinforced the therapeutic potential of TLX591 – our Phase III asset for prostate cancer therapy, while we have a number of additional significant clinical milestones ahead across our therapeutic pipeline.

“We also continue to build out our internal manufacturing capability, which we believe is a competitive advantage for our radiopharmaceutical supply chain and ability to deliver patient doses globally. Telix’s successful $650 million convertible bond offering will facilitate our ambitions in this regard, while also positioning us to accelerate clinical development on key programs and capitalise on potential strategic M&A opportunities.

“We believe the radiopharmaceutical sector is at an inflection point and Telix has the proven commercial ability, clinical experience and balance sheet strength to advance our leading-edge theranostic pipeline. With a proven revenue stream and a clear path to future business growth, Telix is positioned at the vanguard of this fast-growing field.”
