Berlin-based Ariceum Therapeutics has revealed positive data from a Phase I/II trial of its radiopharmaceutical therapy, satoreotide, in neuroendocrine tumors, two years after the biotech made its debut.
Satoreotide uses the radioactive isotope lutetium to antagonize the somatostatin receptor 2 (SSTR2). Ariceum launched in 2021 after
acquiring full rights
to satoreotide from Ipsen.
The Phase I/II trial
studied satoreotide
in people with previously treated, progressive SSTR2-positive NETsSSTR2-positive NETs. The trial’s part A comprised 15 patients who completed three cycles of satoreotide at a fixed activity level, while part B included 25 patients who got one to five cycles of the therapy at different activity levels.
