Nordic Nanovector: Presentation at the Annual Congress of the European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM)
Nordic Nanovector ASA (OSE: NANO) announces that the Company and its collaborators at Orano Med will present data and analyses from preclinical studies with 212Pb-NNV003, a CD37 targeting alpha-radioimmunotherapy for the treatment of leukaemia and lymphoma at the 2019 Annual Congress of the European Association of Nuclear Medicine (12-16 October, Barcelona, Spain).
In the study, the efficacy of 212Pb-NNV003 was compared with ibrutinib in a disseminated mouse model using the ibrutinib-resistant cell line MEC-2. Ibrutinib is a Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor that forms part of the standard of care for chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) and non-Hodkgin’s lymphoma (NHL), alongside chemotherapy and anti-CD20 antibody therapy.
The study showed that a single injection of 212Pb-NNV003 is safe and effective for the treatment of CD37-positive CLL and NHL in preclinical models, with promising efficacy in an ibrutinib-resistant CLL model.
Presentation details are as follows:
