Title: Improved Tumour Targeting and Efficacy with Comparable Daughter Redistribution of 225Ac-SSO110 versus 225Ac-DOTA-TATE in a Preclinical SCLC Model; Presentation # OP-658 (GlobeNewswire) - "A second oral presentation at EANM25 showcased the superior pharmacokinetic profile of 225Ac-SSO110 versus 225Ac-DOTA-TATE, demonstrating comparable biodistribution to the internalizing agonist, alongside enhanced tumor uptake and a favorable therapeutic index....The study results demonstrate that 225Ac-SSO110’s differentiated binding profile enables superior tumor uptake and retention, compared with 225Ac-DOTA-TATE. Importantly, 225Ac-SSO110 exhibited similar retention of daughter radionuclides as the internalizing agonist 225Ac-DOTA-TATE and a more favorable therapeutic index."

Ariceum Therapeutics Presents Outstanding Data on its First-in-Class Radiopharmaceutical Drug 225Ac-Satoreotide at the European Association of Nuclear Medicine 2024 (PRNewswire) - "The Top-Rated Oral Presentation (TROP)...details the anti-tumour efficacy of different radiolabelled satoreotide antagonists (225Ac, 161Tb, 177Lu-labelled SSO110) versus respective DOTA-TATE agonists (225Ac- and 161Tb-labelled DOTA-TATE) in mice engrafted with SSTR2 positive xenografts of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and pancreatic cancer using clinically relevant associated dose ranges. Results demonstrate that 225Ac-satoreotide shows the strongest anti-tumoural effect in vivo at a low single dose when evaluating satoreotide and DOTA-TATE radiolabelled with different radionuclides. Irrespective of the radionuclides used, satoreotide demonstrated a higher pre-clinical anti-tumour efficacy when compared to DOTA-TATE which was less potent and required increased dose levels."

[225Ac]Ac-SSO110 and [177Lu]Lu-SSO110 demonstrate significantly better efficacy than [225Ac]Ac-DOTA-TATE in the treatment of SST2-positive tumor xenografts (SNMMI 2024) - "Since [177Lu]Lu-SSO110 demonstrated significantly better efficacy than [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE in different xenograft models, the aim of this study was to identify the optimal isotope(s) (225Ac, 212Pb, 161Tb, 177Lu) for SSO110 and how the different SSO110-based radiopharmaceuticals compare to the respective DOTA-TATE compounds. Our data highlights the potential of [225Ac]Ac-SSO110 and [177Lu]Lu-SSO110 to outperform SST2-targeting agonists that are approved or in clinical development. The superior pharmacokinetic profile of SSO110 translates into higher pre-clinical efficacy with several isotopes. The comparison of SSO110 and DOTA-TATE labelled with various isotopes will help guide clinical development of SSO110 across different SST2-expressing indications."
