Telix publishes ProstACT SELECT study results in Cancers journal
Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited announced the publication of results from the ProstACT SELECT study in Cancers, a peer-reviewed journal. The Phase 1 study evaluated TLX591-Tx (lutetium-177 rosopatamab tetraxetan), a prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) targeting radio antibody-drug conjugate therapy candidate. The publication confirms the utility of gallium-68 PSMA-PET imaging to select patients for TLX591-Tx therapy using a theranostic approach.

Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited announced the publication of results from the ProstACT SELECT study in Cancers, a peer-reviewed journal. The Phase 1 study evaluated TLX591-Tx (lutetium-177 rosopatamab tetraxetan), a prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) targeting radio antibody-drug conjugate therapy candidate. The publication confirms the utility of gallium-68 PSMA-PET imaging to select patients for TLX591-Tx therapy using a theranostic approach.
The study highlights TLX591-Tx’s differentiated clinical profile, characterized by an intensified dosing schedule, prolonged tumor retention, and low exocrine gland irradiation. In a heterogeneous population representative of a real-world setting, TLX591-Tx therapy in combination with standard of care demonstrated a manageable and predictable safety profile. Indicative efficacy was observed, with a median radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) of 8.8 months reported in evaluable patients.
Key Findings from ProstACT SELECT
| Metric | Detail |
|---|---|
| Study Phase | Phase 1 |
| Therapy Candidate | TLX591-Tx (lutetium-177 rosopatamab tetraxetan) |
| Imaging Agent | Gallium-68 PSMA-PET (Illuccix) |
| Median rPFS | 8.8 months |
| Safety Profile | Manageable and predictable |
Nat Lenzo, MD, Nuclear Medicine Oncologist and Principal Investigator on the ProstACT SELECT study, commented on the results. "A key objective of ProstACT SELECT was to determine whether PSMA-PET imaging could reliably identify patients suitable for TLX591-Tx therapy, and the results clearly support this approach," Lenzo stated. The findings provide evidence that the PSMA-PET imaging agent and TLX591-Tx target the same disease sites, supporting the ongoing ProstACT Global trial for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).
Ongoing Clinical Development
David N. Cade, MD, Group Chief Medical Officer at Telix, emphasized the significance of the publication. "The peer-reviewed results support our patient-selection strategy and demonstrate a differentiated pharmacologic profile characterized by durable tumor targeting, hepatobiliary clearance, and a manageable safety profile," Cade said. Telix is currently evaluating TLX591-Tx in the international multi-center Phase 3 ProstACT Global study for advanced metastatic prostate cancer.
The primary objectives of the ProstACT SELECT trial were to determine whole body biodistribution and organ radiation dosimetry and assess the safety and tolerability of TLX591-Tx in patients with advanced mCRPC. rPFS was a secondary study objective. TLX591-Tx has not received a marketing authorization in any jurisdiction.
What are the key milestones and expected timeline for the ongoing Phase 3 ProstACT Global trial?
How might TLX591-Tx's differentiated safety profile impact its competitive positioning against other PSMA-targeted therapies?
What regulatory pathways and potential approval timelines is Telix pursuing for TLX591-Tx in major markets?
