On December 18, 2023, we announced positive topline results from SPLASH. SPLASH is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of PNT2002 in patients with mCRPC who have progressed following treatment with an androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (“ARPI”). The SPLASH trial met its primary endpoint, demonstrating a median radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) per blinded independent central review of 9.5 months for patients treated with PNT2002, compared to 6.0 months for patients treated with ARPI in the control arm, a statistically significant 29% reduction in the risk of radiographic progression or death (hazard ratio (“HR”) 0.71; p=0.0088). At the time of the analysis, interim overall survival (“OS”) results were immature (46% of protocol-specified target OS events reached), and the HR was 1.11. We plan to analyze overall survival data when it has matured to 75% of protocol-specified target OS events, which we expect to occur in the third quarter of 2024.

The successful growth of PYLARIFY is dependent on our ability to sustain PYLARIFY as the leading PSMA PET imaging agent in an increasingly competitive marketplace. PYLARIFY’s competition includes two commercially available gallium-68-based PSMA imaging agents, an approved fluorine-18-based PSMA imaging agent, and other non-PSMA-based imaging agents commonly referred to as conventional imaging. We previously hired additional employees to assist us with the commercialization of PYLARIFY, including in Sales, Marketing, Reimbursement, Quality and Medical Affairs, and we will continue to make commercial investments necessary to drive PYLARIFY awareness and adoption. We believe that PYLARIFY currently has the largest dedicated field-based commercial team in the PSMA PET imaging agent space. Continued growth and revenue contribution from PYLARIFY will also depend on our ability to differentiate PYLARIFY in light of the potential loss of Transitional Pass-Through Payment (“TPT Status”), including through flexible and dependable access to PYLARIFY nationally, a best in class customer experience and through long-term strategic partnerships.

•Digital Solutions – Our Digital Solutions are designed to enhance imaging value and the throughput, reproducibility and reliability of image analysis, as well as to inform treatment selection and response to therapy. Our Digital Solutions include aPROMISE and aBSI (as defined below), both of which are FDA cleared and CE marked. aPROMISE, which is currently sold as PYLARIFY AI in the U.S., is artificial intelligence medical device software that is designed to allow healthcare professionals and researchers to perform standardized quantitative assessment of PSMA PET/CT images in prostate cancer, including those images obtained by using PYLARIFY. Automated Bone Scan Index (“aBSI”) automatically calculates the disease burden of prostate cancer by detecting and classifying bone scan tracer uptakes as metastatic or benign lesions using an artificial neural network. The software is currently used as one of the correlative objectives of the DORA trial, an open-labeled, randomized, Phase 3 study of docetaxel versus docetaxel in combination with radium-223 (Ra-223) in subjects with mCRPC. We offer our Digital Solutions to HCPs for clinical use and to pharmaceutical companies for development purposes, and in some cases, we also obtain clinical imaging data that we may use to further develop artificial intelligence solutions.

The strategic goal of our Pharma Solutions business is to gain early access to innovation, de-risk the development, data generation and co-funding of our pipeline through collaborations, embed our technologies in the clinical ecosystem and establish the clinical utility of product candidates and research tools in our pipeline. Our Biomarkers are intended to support patient selection and the monitoring of disease progression. For example, piflufolastat F 18 is currently being used by Curium and Regeneron in those companies’ prostate cancer therapeutic drug development programs, and was also used in the development of PNT2002. Our acquisition of Cerveau in February 2023 added MK-6240 to our biomarker portfolio. MK-6240 is currently being used in more than ninety active clinical trials for several Alzheimer’s disease therapeutic candidates. Most recently, in collaboration with Ratio, we completed a Phase 1 study for LNTH-1363S to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, biodistribution and radiation dosimetry in adult healthy volunteers and plan to initiate a Phase 1/2a study in patients in 2024. LNTH-1363S is our investigational fibroblast activation protein, copper-64 labeled PET imaging agent candidate that we believe could have broad potential imaging applicability and use in oncology.

MK-6240 has been used in more than ninety clinical trials for several Alzheimer’s disease therapeutic candidates and NAV-4694 is being used in academic and industry investigational therapeutic trials.

We obtain a substantial portion of our imaging agents from third-party suppliers. Jubilant HollisterStier (“JHS”) is currently a significant supplier of DEFINITY and our sole source manufacturer of NEUROLITE, CARDIOLITE and evacuation vials, the latter being an ancillary component for our TechneLite generators. Our manufacturing and supply agreement with JHS (the “JHS MSA”) runs through December 31, 2027 and can be further extended by mutual agreement of the parties. The JHS MSA requires us to purchase from JHS specified percentages of our total requirements for DEFINITY, as well as specified quantities of NEUROLITE, CARDIOLITE and evacuation vial products, each year during the contract term. Either party can terminate the JHS MSA upon the occurrence of certain events, including the material breach or bankruptcy of the other party. In addition to JHS, we rely on Samsung Biologics Co., Ltd. as our sole source manufacturer of DEFINITY RT.

In 2021, we completed the construction of a specialized in-house manufacturing facility at our North Billerica campus to produce the formulation of DEFINITY that requires refrigerated storage. On February 22, 2022, we received FDA approval of our supplemental new drug application authorizing commercial manufacturing of DEFINITY at our new facility. We believe this investment provides supply chain redundancy, improved flexibility and reduced costs in a potentially more price competitive environment.

We classify our revenues into three product categories: Radiopharmaceutical Oncology, Precision Diagnostics, and Strategic Partnerships and Other Revenue. Radiopharmaceutical Oncology consists of PYLARIFY and AZEDRA. In 2023, we announced our decision to discontinue the production and promotion of AZEDRA and we do not expect AZEDRA revenue to contribute to the business after the first quarter of 2024. Precision Diagnostics includes DEFINITY, TechneLite and other diagnostic imaging products. Strategic Partnerships and Other Revenue primarily includes out-licensing arrangements and partnerships that focus on facilitating precision medicine through the use of biomarkers, digital solutions and radiotherapeutic platforms.
