“Clarity leads the world in the development and commercialization of TCT,” said Alan Taylor, PhD, Executive Chairman of Clarity Pharmaceuticals. “Access to large, commercial supply of Cu-67 at a suitable price-point enables us to apply our TCT approach not only to rare diseases such as neuroblastoma in children, but also other cancers with very large patient populations such as prostate and breast cancers. In essence, the availability of large scale production of Cu-67 in the United States will increase the speed of Clarity’s clinical trials across our SARTATETM, SAR-bisPSMA, SAR-Bombesin and discovery programs and will help us to achieve our ultimate goal of better treating children and adults with cancer.”

Copper-67 (Cu-67) is a short-range, beta-emitting radioisotope that is attractive for medical purposes due to its ability to carry sufficient radiation energy to cause cell death in targeted cells while having a sufficiently short half-life to limit unwanted radioactivity in patients. Cu-67 is being investigated for therapeutic purposes across a wide range of adult and childhood cancers. Potential radiotherapeutic targets include prostate cancer, breast cancer, neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), neuroblastoma, glioma, lymphoma, ovarian, and bladder cancers. A chelator, which strongly binds Cu-67 to the targeting agent, is required to develop safe and effective targeted therapies. Clarity has successfully developed a highly specific and highly stable chelator for copper isotopes and is progressing a range of radiopharmaceuticals based on its proprietary SAR Technology Platform. NorthStar is developing a proprietary process for commercial-scale production of Cu-67 to meet demand for clinical research and treatment purposes.
