Edotreotide (SMT487) is a DOTA-containing somatostatin analog. Edotreotide binds with high affinity to somatostatin receptors. Somatostatin receptors are predominantly overexpressed by neuroendocrine tumors. On 15 September 2016, the European Medicines Agency’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) adopted a positive opinion, recommending granting a marketing authorisation for the orphan medicine edotreotide (SomaKit-TOC) intended for use in Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging in adult patients with gastro-enteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (GEP-NETs). SomaKit TOC was designated as an orphan medicinal product on 19 March 2015. 68Ga-Edotreotide, distributed under the brand name TOCscan® (Sogacin® in Austria/ France), is the companion diagnostic in ITM´s theranostic approach for the treatment of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). N.c.a. 177Lu-Edotreotide is known as an innovative Targeted Radionuclide Therapy agent with favorable safety profile and promising efficacy. N.c.a. 177Lu-Edotreotide received an Orphan Designation as treatment of gastro-entero-pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NET) based on academic clinical Phase II data suggesting a significant benefit (substantially improved progression-free survival, PFS).

GO-203-2c is a cell-penetrating peptide that binds to MUC1, a protein that causes cancer (oncoprotein). MUC1 is over-expressed in many human cancers, such breast, prostate, lung, colon, pancreas, and ovary cancer, and has been associated with poor prognosis. GO-203-2c blocks homodimerization of the MUC1-C subunit required for nuclear translocation and downstream signaling. This binding eventually leads to cell death (in laboratory setting). Since MUC1 is over-expressed in many cancers, the potential of GO-203-2c in treatment of cancers is being investigated. A phase I clinical trial has been completed in which GO-203-2c was shown to be safe and demonstrating both anti-leukemia and immunomodulatory effects. A phase II study is investigating its potential in the treatment of Acute Myeloid Leukemia.
