A recent paper published in Theranostics highlights positive results from a pre-clinical collaboration between Telix and Radboud University Medical Center (Radboudumc). Simone Kleinendorst and colleagues evaluated Telix’s investigational carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX) targeting therapy, TLX250 (177Lu-girentuximab), in combination with two immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) for advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma. The study found that TLX250 combined with ICI showed superior therapeutic outcomes and significantly altered the tumour microenvironment. Based on these results, TLX250 + ICI combination therapy is currently being investigated in the Phase II STARLITE-1 and 2 studies to validate the concept in humans. We recently sat down with one of the publication’s authors and Telix Director of ImmunoOncology Research, Kwame Twumasi-Boateng, to discuss the study and potential future directions for this novel therapy combination.

Recently published in Theranostics, Kleinendorst et al. report preclinical study results that demonstrate that 177Lu-girentuximab + immune checkpoint inhibition, which targets carbonic anyhydrase IX, can produce lasting complete responses in an animal model, including at doses where the component monotherapies are sub-therapeutic. Results underline the importance of investigating this combination treatment for patients with advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) in a clinical setting, where the Phase II STARLITE-1 and 2 trials are currently in progress.
