Perspective Therapeutics announced that the first patients were dosed with [212Pb]VMT-alpha-NET and [212Pb]PSV359 in two new cohorts of Phase 1/2a studies in neuroendocrine tumors and solid tumors, respectively. The first patient was treated with [212Pb]VMT-alpha-NET in a fourth cohort of the company's ongoing Phase 1/2a clinical trial of [212Pb]VMT-alpha-NET in patients with unresectable or metastatic somatostatin receptor type 2 expressing neuroendocrine tumors, or NETs. The design of this dosing regimen will help determine whether front-loading could change response kinetics and further improve response rate and tolerability at the same cumulative administered dose. Additionally, the first patient was treated with [212Pb]PSV359 in a third cohort of the company's Phase 1/2a dose-finding trial to determine safety and preliminary anti-tumor activity of the radiopharmaceutical [212Pb]PSV359 in patients with solid tumors that express fibroblast activation protein alpha. The company is conducting a multi-center, open-label, dose-escalation, dose-expansion study of [212Pb]VMT-alpha-NET in patients with unresectable or metastatic SSTR2-positive neuroendocrine tumors who have not received prior radiopharmaceutical therapies.

About CATX
Perspective Therapeutics, Inc. is a radiopharmaceutical development company that is developing advanced treatment applications for cancers throughout the body. The Company has proprietary technology that utilizes the alpha-emitting isotope 212Pb to deliver powerful radiation specifically to cancer cells via specialized targeting moieties. It is also developing imaging diagnostics that incorporate the same targeting moieties, which provide the opportunity to personalize treatment and optimize patient outcomes. This theranostic approach enables the ability to see the specific tumor and then treat it to potentially improve efficacy and minimize toxicity. The Company's melanoma (VMT01) and neuroendocrine tumor (VMT-a-NET) programs have entered Phase I/IIa imaging and therapy trials for the treatment of metastatic melanoma and neuroendocrine tumors at several academic institutions. It has also developed a 212Pb generator to secure key isotopes for clinical trial and commercial operations.

Perspective Therapeutics Updates on Clinical Programs at ASCO 2026
- Clinical Trial Results: In the 3.0 mCi monotherapy cohort of [212Pb]VMT01, two out of seven patients (29%) confirmed responses, indicating the therapy's potential in heavily pre-treated melanoma patients, with further data expected by late 2026.
- Safety Assessment: Treatments in Cohort 3 of [212Pb]PSV359 at 6.0 mCi initiated in May 2026, with initial safety findings showing only Grade 1 and 2 adverse events and no dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), indicating good tolerability of the therapy.
- Efficacy Continuity: Updated interim efficacy data for [212Pb]VMT-α-NET as of April 17, 2026, shows that 72% of 25 patients experienced no disease progression, with responses deepening, reflecting the therapy's long-term effectiveness and potential market value.
- ASCO Presentation: Perspective Therapeutics will present updates on all three clinical programs at the 2026 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting, further enhancing the company's visibility and influence in the oncology treatment landscape.
