preclinical studies with CD37-targeting radioimmunotherapies were made at the
60th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting & Exposition (1-4
December 2018 in San Diego, CA, USA). These posters were presented in addition
to the results of the Phase 1/2 trial of Betalutin® (177Lu-satetraxetan
-lilotomab) in patients with relapsed/refractory indolent non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma
- see separate announcement.
The posters are as follows:
Abstract 4422
Abstract title:
Targeted Alpha Therapy with 212Pb-NNV-003 for the Treatment of CD37 Positive B
-Cell Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) and Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL)
Authors:
A. Saidi et al.
This poster describes results from a research collaboration to develop a novel
CD37-targeting alpha therapy for B-cell malignancies and the results noted in
the abstract were previously announced on 1 November 2018. The research
collaboration was established in June 2015 with Orano Med (formerly known as
AREVA Med) to develop and investigate a next-generation targeted alpha therapy,
comprising Nordic Nanovector’s chimeric anti-CD37 antibody (NNV003) and lead-212
(212Pb), for the treatment of B-cell malignancies.
The preclinical studies investigated the dose-dependent efficacy and
tolerability of 212Pb-NNV003 in human cell and mouse models of chronic
lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) and Burkitt’s lymphoma (a type of non-Hodgkin’s
lymphoma, NHL). In the studies, 212Pb-NNV003 was found to be well tolerated and
led to a 90-100% survival rate in mouse models of CLL and NHL.
Abstract 1371
Abstract title:
Cell Cycle Kinase Inhibitors Potentiate the Effect of 177lu-Lilotomab
Satetraxetan in Treatment of Aggressive Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma Cell Lines
Authors:
G.E. Rødland et al.
The poster describes results from a preclinical study aimed at identifying
possible drug combinations involving Betalutin® in two aggressive,
radioimmunotherapy-resistant diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) cell lines.
The study identified cell cycle kinase inhibitors as promising partners for
combination treatment of aggressive DLBCL with Betalutin®, warranting further
exploration in preclinical models.

Nordic Nanovector is committed to develop and deliver innovative therapies to
patients to address major unmet medical needs and advance cancer care. The
Company aspires to become a leader in the development of targeted therapies for
haematological cancers. Nordic Nanovector’s lead clinical-stage candidate is
Betalutin®, a novel CD37-targeting antibody-radionuclide-conjugate designed to
advance the treatment of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL). NHL is an indication with
substantial unmet medical need, representing a growing market forecast to be
worth nearly USD 28.7 billion by 2026. Nordic Nanovector intends to retain
marketing rights and to actively participate in the commercialisation of
