In preparation for a planned commercial rollout,Telix has contracted with Cardinal Health to enable Zircaix®[2]availability across a wide range of U.S. locations.

Kevin Richardson,Chief Executive Officer,Telix Precision Medicine said,"We are pleased to build on our existing relationship with Cardinal Health to maximise patient access to this breakthrough product for non-invasive kidney cancer diagnosis. Through their extensive nuclear pharmacy network,which enables broad geographic reach and flexible scheduling,Cardinal Health has been central to the commercial success of Illuccix® PSMA-PET [3]imaging and we look forward to adding Zircaix®[2]to their U.S. roster."

About Zircaix®[2](TLX250-CDx)

Zircaix®[2](TLX250-CDx,89Zr-girentuximab) is an investigational PET agent that is under development to characterise indeterminate renal masses as ccRCC or non-ccRCC in a non-invasive manner. Telix's pivotal Phase III ZIRCON trial (ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT03849118) evaluating TLX250-CDx in 300patients,of which 284 were evaluable,was completed in 2022 and met all primary and secondary endpoints,including showing 86% sensitivity and 87% specificity and a 93% positive-predictive value for ccRCC across three independent readers[4]. We believe this demonstrated the ability of TLX250-CDx to reliably detect the clear cell phenotype and provide an accurate,non-invasive method for diagnosing ccRCC. Confidence intervals exceeded expectations in all three readers,showing evidence of high accuracy and consistency of interpretation.

As part of Telix's commitment to access to medicine,the Company is runningan expanded access program (EAP) in the U.S.[5],named patient programs (NPPs) in Europe,and a special access scheme (SAS) in Australia to allow continued access to TLX250-CDx outside of a clinical trial to patients for whom there are no comparable or satisfactory alternate options.
