Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited (ASX:TLX) FDA Accepts BLA for TLX250-CDx
Regulatory Approval
Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited (ASX:TLX) announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has accepted its Biologics License Application (BLA) for its imaging agent TLX250-CDx, granting a Priority Review with a PDUFA date of August 27, 2025. This approval paves the way for a U.S. commercial launch in 2025.
Clinical Trial Results
The BLA is supported by Telix’s Phase 3 ZIRCON study, which demonstrated 86% sensitivity, 87% specificity, and a 93% positive predictive value for diagnosing clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). The study results were published in The Lancet Oncology in September 2024, highlighting the agent’s ability to accurately detect and characterize ccRCC.
Executive Comments
Kevin Richardson, Chief Executive Officer, Precision Medicine, stated, “We are delighted that the FDA has accepted this BLA as it moves us one step closer to bringing our breakthrough product to patients. We are aiming to revolutionize the management of kidney cancer, just as PSMA-PET/CT scanning has changed the management of prostate cancer. By providing a more definitive clinical diagnosis for renal masses, we believe that Zircaix will help physicians make more timely and confident patient management decisions and more quickly provide patients with a clear understanding of their disease and treatment options. Building further on Telix’s successful urology franchise, we are preparing to bring this powerful precision medicine product to market in 2025.”
Future Outlook
Telix is committed to expanding access to TLX250-CDx through various programs, including an expanded access program in the U.S., patient programs in Europe, and a special access scheme in Australia. The company plans to launch the imaging agent commercially in 2025, subject to regulatory approval.
