Plus Therapeutics Reports Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results and Recent Business Highlights

 

Presented Positive Interim ReSPECT-LM Phase 1 Data for Rhenium (186Re) Obisbemeda for Leptomeningeal Metastases

 

Presented Positive Topline Clinical Trial Results for CNSide diagnostic in the FORESEE trial

 

Management to host conference call August 14, 2024 at 5:00 p.m. ET

AUSTIN, Texas, August 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE)Plus Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: PSTV) (the “Company”), a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company developing targeted radiotherapeutics with advanced platform technologies for central nervous system (CNS) cancers, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024, and provided an overview of recent and upcoming business highlights.

 

Q2 2024 RECENT HIGHLIGHTS AND MILESTONES

Presented positive ReSPECT-LM Phase 1 study data at the 2024 Society for NeuroOncology /American Society for Clinical Oncology (SNO/ASCO) CNS Metastases Conference. Rhenium (186Re) Obisbemeda was safe and well-tolerated in the first 4 dosing cohorts (n=16 patients). Current median overall survival is 12 months with 8 of 16 patients treated remaining alive. Additional detail can be found here
Reported topline FORESEE clinical trial results at SNO/ASCO. The trial demonstrated that CNSide, PLUS’ novel diagnostic platform met its primary clinical endpoint. The CNSide test was found to help clinical decision making in over 90% of provider decisions (n=50/55 clinical decisions) and helped to inform therapy selection in 24% of provider decisions (n=13/55 clinical decisions). Furthermore, the CNSide test improved tumor cell detection in LM patients compared to cytology (80% vs. 29%) in matched samples. Additional details can be found here
Reported that isotopic rhenium-186, the active radioisotope in Rhenium (186Re) Obisbemeda, substantially spared the spinal cord vs. other beta-emitting radionuclides at the 2024 Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) annual meeting
Submitted a new clinical protocol to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), under its active Investigational New Drug application (IND 153715) for a Phase 1 study to evaluate multiple administrations of Rhenium (186Re) Obisbemeda for the treatment of patients with LM
Received $3.3 million grant payment from Cancer Prevention & Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT) in June 2024 to support the clinical development of Rhenium (186Re) Obisbemeda for LM

 

“Plus’ lead investigational drug Rhenium (186Re) Obisbemeda continues to show safety and promising signs of efficacy after a single administration in patients with LM,” said Marc H. Hedrick, M.D., Plus Therapeutics President and Chief Executive Officer. “We are on track to complete the single administration ReSPECT-LM Phase 1 trial soon, expand to multiple doses, and move to Phase 2 funded by our existing CPRIT award.”

FIRST HALF 2024 FINANCIAL RESULTS

The Company’s cash and investments balance was $8.4 million at June 30, 2024 compared to $8.6 million at December 31, 2023
The Company recognized $3.0 million in grant revenue in the first half of 2024 compared to $2.4 million in the same period of 2023, which represents CPRIT’s share of the costs incurred for our Rhenium (186Re) Obisbemeda development for the treatment of patients with LM
Total operating loss for the first half of 2024 was $7.0 million compared to $6.2 million in the same period of 2023. The increase is primarily due to increased spend related to the ReSPECT-LM trial
