Clarity Pharmaceuticals (ASX:CU6) Expands Radiopharmaceutical Pipeline
Expansion of Pipeline
Clarity Pharmaceuticals (ASX: CU6) has expanded its pipeline with a novel fibroblast activation protein (FAP)-targeted radiopharmaceutical called SAR-bisFAP. This innovative product uses copper isotopes for cancer diagnosis and treatment, showing promising results in pre-clinical models. The introduction of SAR-bisFAP opens significant opportunities for imaging and treating various malignancies where FAP is widely expressed.
Product Development
The development of SAR-bisFAP centres on enhancing tumour targeting and retention capabilities compared to existing FAP-targeting agents. Clarity’s proprietary SAR technology harnesses copper-64 for imaging and copper-67 for therapeutic applications. Preliminary biodistribution data indicates that SAR-bisFAP demonstrates higher tumour uptake and retention than its monomer form and other standard FAP-targeted agents, indicating its potential as a next-generation radiopharmaceutical.
Future Outlook
Clarity Pharmaceuticals aims to commence a Phase I clinical trial for SAR-bisFAP in late 2025, following ongoing pre-clinical studies. Clarity’s Executive Chairperson, Dr Alan Taylor, emphasised the firm’s commitment to advancing science in radiopharmaceuticals, stating, “Our commitment to always putting science first at Clarity has placed us in an enviable position in radiopharmaceuticals globally.” He expressed enthusiasm for the potential pan-cancer targeting capabilities of SAR-bisFAP, citing its unique advantages and strong patent protection.
Commitment to Innovation
Clarity continues to leverage its proprietary SAR Technology to develop products that address high unmet medical needs in oncology. With more than 28 patent families secured, the company is positioned to enhance its pipeline with innovative radiopharmaceuticals focusing on treatment outcomes for cancer patients.
