The NOBLE Registry – An International Collaboration to Develop iPSMA SPECT Imaging for Prostate Cancer

BRUSSELS, Belgium and MELBOURNE, Australia, April 20, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Oncidium Foundation, a non–profit organisation created to promote and support the development of radiopharmaceuticals for better patient access, and Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited ("Telix'), a radiopharmaceutical company developing diagnostic and therapeutic products ("theranostics') using Molecularly Targeted Radiation (MTR), are pleased to announce the launch of the NOBLE Registry, an international clinical collaboration for the development of 99mTc–iPSMA SPECT imaging for prostate cancer, and the dosing of the first patient at the University College Hospital, Ibadan, Nigeria.

Prostate cancer is the second most frequent cancer diagnosis in men and the fifth leading cause of cancer death worldwide1. Early detection can significantly reduce the mortality rate and in recent years much attention has focused on PSMA2 as a target for imaging and therapy using radionuclides for prostate cancer.

PSMA positron emission tomography (PSMA PET) is an emerging standard of care in prostate cancer imaging.3 Unfortunately, globally, not every patient will have access to a PSMA PET scan when indicated. The NOBLE (Nobody Left Behind) Registry aims to demonstrate that PSMA single photon emission computed tomography (PSMA SPECT), a diagnostic imaging technology widely available in healthcare facilities throughout the world,4 is a cost–effective and viable alternative. Enhancing global availability and access to 99mTc–iPSMA SPECT imaging has the potential to provide accurate diagnosis and staging to patients with prostate cancer regardless of where they reside.

The NOBLE Registry Committee, made up of globally recognized investigators at eight sites worldwide,5 aims to deliver and publish real–world evidence and clinical practice guidelines related to SPECT imaging and prostate cancer.

"The advancement of PSMA directed diagnostics and therapeutics in prostate cancer is helping to extend life and improve treatment outcomes in men with prostate cancer," said Dr. Batool Albalooshi, Chair of the NOBLE Registry Committee. "However, millions of men do not have access to PET imaging. For this reason, it is our aspiration to develop a powerful, affordable, and widely available alternative imaging tool by using iPSMA SPECT technology."

"Introducing PSMA has been difficult and exciting for the team at Ibadan. When I think of the opportunities for prostate cancer research and management without PET, I am motivated to get past the challenges. I look forward to a better future, with nobody left behind," said Dr. Akintunde Orunmuyi, Investigator at the University College Hospital, Ibadan, Nigeria, where the first patient is being dosed.

The NOBLE Registry has been initiated and is co–supported by the Oncidium Foundation and Telix Pharmaceuticals. "We aim to enable patients with prostate cancer, regardless of origin, technology access or financial situation, to access PSMA SPECT imaging for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning," said Rebecca Lo bue, General Manager of the Oncidium Foundation.

"We are honoured to support the launch of the NOBLE Registry, which represents the very essence of our belief that every patient deserves access to the benefits of nuclear medicine. We wish to thank the Oncidium Foundation for their support and partnership, as well as the expert global clinical leadership team led by Dr. Albalooshi. Above all, we are grateful to the patients that will make this registry study possible and, in doing so, help to deliver an important milestone toward improving access to this important technology." said Dr. Christian Behrenbruch, Chief Executive Officer of Telix Pharmaceuticals.

Entera Announces Ron Mayron, a Global Pharma Leader, Joins its Board of Directors

BOSTON and JERUSALEM, April 20, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Entera Bio Ltd. (NASDAQ: ENTX), a leader in the development of orally delivered large molecule therapeutics, today announced that Ron Mayron has joined its Board of Directors. Mr. Mayron is taking the seat of Zeev Bronfeld, a Founder of Entera, who served on its Board since 2010, and was Chairman from 2014 to 2016.

Mr. Mayron is global healthcare specialist who serves on the boards of numerous public and privately held pharma and medical device companies in Israel, including DNA BioMedical Solutions, Innocan Pharma, and IceCure Medical. His prior executive experience includes several leadership positions culminating in CEO of Teva Israel & Africa and CEO of S.L.E. His expertise within healthcare includes M&A, integration and implementation, global business development, global operations, and supply chain management. He earned a B.Sc. from Ben–Gurion University, an MBA from the University of Tel Aviv, and attended several programs at Insead University Fontainebleu, France and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Boston. Mr. Mayron served as an Officer in the Israeli army achieving the rank of Major.

Jerry Lieberman, Entera's Chairman commented, "We welcome Ron to the Board as we advance our pipeline of oral drug candidates for biologics and active ingredients that were previously only administrated through injection. Ron's deep knowledge in the management and logistics of commercialized pharma products at Teva, as well as his vast experience serving on the boards of over a dozen private and publicly traded healthcare companies are assets to Entera."

"On behalf of the entire Board, I extend gratitude to Zeev for his insight as a Founder of Entera, his leadership as a Board member, and his twelve years of service to the Company. His contributions have helped Entera become a NASDAQ listed company and a global leader in the oral delivery of proteins. We wish him well," Mr. Lieberman concluded.

About Entera Bio

Entera is a leader in the development of orally delivered large molecule therapeutics for use in areas with significant unmet medical need where adoption of injectable therapies is limited due to cost, convenience and compliance challenges for patients. The Company's proprietary, oral drug delivery technology is designed to address the technical challenges of poor absorption, high variability, and the inability to deliver large molecules to the targeted location in the body through the use of a synthetic absorption enhancer to facilitate the absorption of large molecules, and protease inhibitors to prevent enzymatic degradation and support delivery to targeted tissues. The Company's most advanced product candidates, EB613 for the treatment of osteoporosis and EB612 for the treatment of hypoparathyroidism are in Phase 2 clinical development. Entera also licenses its technology to biopharmaceutical companies for use with their proprietary compounds and, to date, has established a collaboration with Amgen Inc.
