Actinium (NYSE: $ATNM) Announces Initiation of Phase 2 Clinical Trial of Actimab-A in Patients Newly Diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia Over Age 60

Actinium (NYSE: $ATNM) Announces Initiation of Phase 2 Clinical Trial of Actimab-A in Patients Newly Diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia Over Age 60

Webinar to be held at 9:00 AM ET to highlight Actimab-A Phase 2 clinical trial and protocol revisions agreed to by the FDA

Protocol revisions agreed to by the FDA include the use of peripheral blast burden as an inclusion criteria, the mandated use of Hydroxyurea in patients with high peripheral blast burden and the elimination of low dose cytarabine

Trial will enroll 53 patients in a multicenter, open-label study designed to evaluate patient complete response rates and overall survival



NEW YORK - September 27, 2016 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Actinium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE: ATNM) ("Actinium" or "the Company"), a biopharmaceutical Company developing innovative targeted payload immunotherapeutics for the treatment of advanced cancers, announced today that the Company has initiated a Phase 2 clinical trial of Actimab-A in patients newly diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) who are over the age of 60. Actimab-A, Actinium's most advanced alpha particle immunotherapy (APIT) program consists of the CD33 targeting monoclonal antibody, HuM195, and the alpha-emitting radioisotope, actinium-225.

"We are excited to have initiated the Phase 2 trial of Actimab-A for elderly patients who are newly diagnosed with AML and ineligible for 7+3 treatment. These older patients face a poor prognosis and have limited viable treatment options" said Sandesh Seth, Actinium's Executive Chairman. "We are encouraged by the safety and efficacy signals we have seen thus far and look forward to the execution of this trial with an eye toward interim and top-line results which are both expected in 2017."

This Phase 2 clinical trial is a multicenter, open-label study that will enroll 53 patients. Patients will receive 2.0 µCi/kg/fractionated dose of Actimab-A via two injections given at day 1 and day 7. The Phase 2 trial is designed to evaluate complete response rates at up to day 42 after Actimab-A administration, where complete response is defined as complete remission (CR) or complete remission with incomplete platelet recovery (CRp). A formal interim analysis is expected to occur in mid-2017 with topline results expected in the second half of 2017. The Phase 2 trial will include peripheral blast burden as an inclusion criteria and in patients with high peripheral blast (PB) burden, the use of Hydroxyurea will be mandated with the goal of bringing PB burden below a key threshold number that the Company has identified from two previously complete Phase 1 clinical trials totaling 38 patients. In addition, the use of granulocyte colony-stimulating factors (GCSF) will be mandated. Low dose cytarabine has been eliminated from the protocol and the Phase 2 clinical trial will evaluate Actimab-A as a monotherapy. The secondary endpoint of the Phase 2 trial will be overall survival.

Dr. Joseph Jurcic, Principal Investigator of the Actimab-A Phase 2 trial and Director of Hematologic Malignancies; Professor of Medicine at Columbia University Medical Center said, "Actimab-A has been studied in two clinical trials thus far in patients with AML ranging in age from 18-87 who had a wide array of genetic risk factors that were at various stages of disease progression. Actimab-A has shown a promising safety and efficacy profile thus far that we believe differentiates Actimab-A from other CD33 targeting drug candidate, which is an exciting space in AML. Our PB burden hypothesis indicates that of all factors related to AML including age, stage of disease and genetic factors, peripheral blast burden showed to be the most relevant. With PB burden serving as an inclusion criteria in this Phase 2 trial and the use of Hydroxyurea being mandated in patients with PB burden above a key threshold we look forward to conducting this clinical trial in this older patient population that has a great unmet medical need."

The Company will host a webinar Tuesday, September 27, 2016 at 9:00 AM ET to discuss the Phase 2 clinical trial. Details for the webinar are as follows:

About Actimab-A
Actimab-A, Actinium's most advanced alpha particle immunotherapy (APIT) program, is being prepared for a Phase 2 clinical trial for patients newly diagnosed with AML over the age of 60. Actimab-A is being developed as a first-line therapy and it has attracted support from some of the leading experts at the most prestigious cancer treatment hospitals due to the potential of its safety and efficacy profile. Actimab-A consists of the monoclonal antibody, HuM195, and the radioisotope, actinium-225. Actinium-225 decays by giving off high-energy alpha particles, which kill cancer cells. When actinium decays, it produces a series of daughter atoms, each of which gives off its own alpha particle, increasing the chances that the cancer cell will be destroyed. HuM195 is the humanized version of M195 and is a monoclonal antibody that targets CD33, which is abundantly found on myeloid leukemia cells. Both the alpha particle technology and HuM195 were initially developed at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Actimab-A is a second-generation therapy from the Company’s HuM195-Alpha program, which has now been studied in almost 90 patients in four clinical trials.

Actinium Pharmaceuticals (NYSE: $ATNM) to Host Webinar to Provide Update on Actimab-A Phase 2 Clinical Trial

Actinium Pharmaceuticals (NYSE: $ATNM) to Host Webinar to Provide Update on Actimab-A Phase 2 Clinical Trial

Webinar to be Held on Tuesday, September 27, 2016 at 9:00 AM ET

Webinar to feature Principle Investigator Joseph Jurcic, M.D., Professor of Clinical Medicine and Director of the Hematologic Malignancies Section of the Hematology/Oncology Division at Columbia University Medical Center


NEW YORK - September 21, 2016 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Actinium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE: ATNM) ("Actinium" or "the Company"), a biopharmaceutical Company developing innovative targeted payload immunotherapeutics for the treatment of advanced cancers, announced today that the Company will host a webinar on Tuesday, September 27, 2016 at 9:00 AM ET to provide an update on the Actimab-A Phase 2 Clinical Trial. Details of the webinar are below:

Date: Tuesday, September 27, 2016 
Time: 9:00 AM ET 
Webinar Link:

"Since presenting our Phase 1 data on June 1, 2016, we have made progress on our Actimab-A program", stated Sandesh Seth, Executive Chairman of Actinium Pharmaceuticals. "We look forward to providing an update on the Actimab-A Phase 2 trial that will include the protocol changes that have been agreed to by the FDA."

Dr. Joseph Jurcic, M.D., Principle Investigator for the Actimab-A Phase 2 trial said, "Actimab-A is intended to treat patients over the age of 60 that are newly diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia, which is a patient population with significant unmet medical needs. The results from the Actimab-A Phase 1 clinical trial showed an encouraging safety and efficacy profile that gives us great excitement for the Phase 2 clinical trial of Actimab-A."

The Actimab-A Phase 2 clinical trial is expected to begin in 2016 and will enroll 53 patients bringing the total number of patients in this Phase 1/2 Actimab-A trial to 71. This multi-center, open-label, single-arm Phase 2 trial will enroll patients newly diagnosed with AML who are over the age of 60. The Company will also be incorporating into the Phase 2 trial protocol changes including the removal of low dose cytarabine, the mandated use of granulocyte colony-stimulating factors (GCSF) and the mandated use of Hydroxyurea based on the findings from its peripheral blast (PB) burden hypothesis which was derived from the two Phase 1 clinical trials conducted with Actimab-A in its Hum195-Alpha clinical program.

Based on evidence that suggests that peripheral blasts prevent Actimab-A from reaching the bone marrow at optimal doses, the Company has mandated the use of Hydroxyurea to reduce the PB burden in patients above a certain key threshold. PB burden will serve as an inclusion criteria for the Phase 2 trial but it is not expected to exclude patients due to the ability of Hydroxyurea to reduce peripheral blasts. The end point of the Phase 2 trial will be complete response rate at up to 42 days after Actimab-A administration, where complete response is defined as complete remission (CR) or complete remission with incomplete platelet recovery (CRp). A formal interim analysis is expected to occur in mid-2017.

Actinium Pharmaceuticals (NYSE: $ATNM) Selects Vector Oncology as its Clinical Research Organization for Actimab-A Phase 2 Trial

Actinium Pharmaceuticals (NYSE: $ATNM) Selects Vector Oncology as its Clinical Research Organization for Actimab-A Phase 2 Trial



NEW YORK - September 20, 2016 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Actinium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE: ATNM) ("Actinium" or "the Company"), a biopharmaceutical Company developing innovative targeted payload immunotherapeutics for the treatment of advanced cancers, announced today that the Company has selected Vector Oncology as its Clinical Research Organization (CRO) for its anticipated Actimab-A Phase 2 clinical trial.

"We are delighted to be working with Vector Oncology for our upcoming Phase 2 clinical trial," stated Dragan Cicic, M.D., Actinium’s Chief Medical Officer. "Vector Oncology displayed an expertise in hematology clinical trials with an emphasis on Phase 2 studies, which gives us great confidence in our selection. We look forward to working with Vector Oncology and to benefiting from their robust clinical capabilities."

Sean L. Hart, Executive Vice President and Managing Director at Vector Oncology said, "Vector Oncology is excited to be working with Actinium as a member of this important team. Since our first interaction with Actinium, all team members involved have committed to getting this important product in the hands of oncology professionals as soon as possible to advance the research efforts. We very much look forward to an exciting future together."

The Company recently completed a Phase 1 trial with Actimab-A in 18 patients newly diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) who are above the age of 60. The Phase 1 trial was a dose escalation study with fractionated dosing levels of Actimab-A ranging from 0.5 µCi/kg/fractionated dose to 2.0 µCi/kg/fractionated dose. Actinium announced that the dose for the Phase 2 clinical trial will be two doses of Actimab-A at 2.0 µCi/kg/fractionated dose one week apart, the highest dose level from the Phase 1 trial.

The Actimab-A Phase 2 clinical trial is expected to begin in 2016 and will enroll 53 patients bringing the total number of patients in this Phase 1/2 Actimab-A trial to 71. This multi-center, open-label, single-arm Phase 2 trial will enroll patients newly diagnosed with AML who are over the age of 60.The Company will also be incorporating into the Phase 2 trial protocol changes including the removal of low dose cytarabine, the mandated use of granulocyte colony-stimulating factors (GCSF) and the mandated use of Hydroxyurea based on the findings from its peripheral blast (PB) burden hypothesis which was derived from the two Phase 1 clinical trials conducted with Actimab-A in its Hum195-Alpha clinical program.

Based on evidence that suggests that peripheral blasts prevent Actimab-A from reaching the bone marrow at optimal doses, the Company has mandated the use of Hydroxyurea to reduce the PB burden in patients above a certain key threshold. PB burden will serve as an inclusion criteria for the Phase 2 trial but it is not expected to exclude patients due to the ability of Hydroxyurea to reduce peripheral blasts. The end point of the Phase 2 trial will be complete response rate at up to 42 days after Actimab-A administration, where complete response is defined as complete remission (CR) or complete remission with incomplete platelet recovery (CRp). A formal interim analysis is expected to occur in mid-2017.

Sandesh Seth, Actinium’s Executive Chairman said, "The selection of Vector Oncology as our CRO marks an important step in the development of Actimab-A. The Phase 2 Actimab-A trial is the second Phase 2 trial from our HuM195-Alpha program, albeit with a second generation, much superior product candidate and tantalizing results from the Phase 1 portion that should bode well for the progress of this trial. With the revised protocol, PB burden hypothesis and strengthened clinical development team we look forward to the Phase 2 trial of Actimab-A and working with Vector Oncology to ensure efficient and timely trial execution."

About Actimab-A
Actimab-A, Actinium's most advanced alpha particle immunotherapy (APIT) program, is being prepared for a Phase 2 clinical trial for patients newly diagnosed with AML over the age of 60. Actimab-A is being developed as a first-line therapy and it has attracted support from some of the leading experts at the most prestigious cancer treatment hospitals due to the potential of its safety and efficacy profile. Actimab-A consists of the monoclonal antibody, HuM195, and the radioisotope, actinium-225. Actinium-225 decays by giving off high-energy alpha particles, which kill cancer cells. When actinium decays, it produces a series of daughter atoms, each of which gives off its own alpha particle, increasing the chances that the cancer cell will be destroyed. HuM195 is the humanized version of M195 and is a monoclonal antibody that targets CD33, which is abundantly found on myeloid leukemia cells. Both the alpha particle technology and HuM195 were initially developed at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Actimab-A is a second-generation therapy from the Company’s HuM195-Alpha program, which has now been studied in almost 90 patients in four clinical trials.
