SEATTLE, March 11, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Perspective Therapeutics, Inc. ("Perspective" or "the Company") (NYSE AMERICAN: CATX), a radiopharmaceutical company that is pioneering advanced treatment applications for cancers throughout the body, today announced that it will host an in-person and virtual analyst day at the New York Stock Exchange on Monday, March 18, 2024 at 10:00 AM ET. To register, click here.
The event will feature presentations from the following members of the Company’s management:
In addition, key opinion leader Richard L. Wahl, MD (Professor of Radiology, Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology at Washington University School of Medicine) will provide an overview of the use of specialized targeting peptides and personalized alpha-particle radiopharmaceuticals such as 212Pb to diagnose tumors and deliver powerful radiation specifically to cancer cells.
The event will highlight the Company's theranostic approach and proprietary technology, including the development of complementary imaging diagnostics that enable the ability to see the specific tumor and then treat it, to potentially improve efficacy and minimize toxicity associated with many other types of cancer treatments. In addition, the Company’s management will discuss its next radiotherapy compound in development and provide an overview of its promising novel pretargeting technology.
A live question and answer session will follow the formal presentations.
About Richard L. Wahl, MD
Richard L. Wahl, MD, is a professor at Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology (MIR) at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and served as the director of MIR from 2014 to 2023. An alumnus, Wahl completed a diagnostic radiology residency and nuclear medicine fellowship at MIR. Prior to being named director at MIR, he was director of the Division of Nuclear Medicine at Johns Hopkins University and the first recipient of the Henry N. Wagner Jr. Professorship.
Wahl is a leader in the use of PET scans to diagnose human cancers and other diseases and was among the first to harness the power of the immune system to precisely target radiation therapy to cancers, a technique that has become known as radioimmunotherapy. He has been at the forefront of efforts to combine quantitative data from multiple kinds of scans to form so-called fusion images that can help physicians more precisely diagnose and characterize cancers.
Wahl has received numerous awards, including the 2018 Georg Charles de Hevesy Award from the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, where he served as president. He is an elected member of the American Society for Clinical Investigation, the American Association of Physicians and the National Academy of Medicine. A fellow of the American College of Radiology, Wahl holds 18 radiology patents and has published more than 450 peer-reviewed scientific manuscripts. He completed a research fellowship in immunology and earned his medical degree from Washington University in St. Louis.
About Perspective Therapeutics, Inc.
Perspective Therapeutics, Inc., is a radiopharmaceutical development company that is pioneering advanced treatment applications for cancers throughout the body. The Company has a proprietary technology that utilizes the alpha emitting isotope 212Pb to deliver powerful radiation specifically to cancer cells via specialized targeting peptides. The Company is also developing complementary imaging diagnostics that incorporate the same targeting peptides which provide the opportunity to personalize treatment and optimize patient outcomes. This "theranostic" approach enables the ability to see the specific tumor and then treat it to potentially improve efficacy and minimize toxicity associated with many other types of cancer treatments.
The Company's melanoma (VMT01) and neuroendocrine tumor (VMT-α-NET) programs have entered Phase 1/2a imaging and therapy trials for the treatment of metastatic melanoma and neuroendocrine tumors at several leading academic institutions. The Company has also developed a proprietary 212Pb generator to secure key isotopes for clinical trial and commercial operations.
