Würzburg, Bavaria, 8 June 2023. PentixaPharm GmbH, a developer of innovative
radiopharmaceuticals fully owned by Eckert & Ziegler Strahlen- und
Medizintechnik AG (ISIN DE0005659700; TecDax) has received the approval from
the German Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices (BfArM) to start
PTT101, its open-label dose escalation study to evaluate the safety,
tolerability, biodistribution and efficacy of PentixaTher. The Yttrium-90
labelled CXCR4-compound PentixaTher will be tested as a radiotherapeutic
against recurrent or refractory primary or isolated secondary central
nervous system lymphoma.

The phase I/II, dose-finding study will be conducted at the University
Hospital in Essen, North Rhine Westphalia, Germany. "After showing up to 90%
of CNS lymphoma patients overexpressing the target CXCR4 with the
Ga68-labeled tracer PentixaFor in CNS lymphoma patients, we are happy to
test now the therapeutic impact when attacking CXCR-4 with [90Y]Y-PentixaTher
(yttrium (90Y) anditixafortide). The study will start after getting final
endorsement from the German Radiation Safety Department (BfS)," commented
Dr. Hakim Bouterfa, Chief Medical Officer at Eckert & Ziegler.

In addition, radiolabelled PentixaTher has shown outstanding results under
named-patient programs in patients with T-cell lymphoma as conducted at the
University Hospital Würzburg (DOI: 10.2967/jnumed.122.264207) (1).
