INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 28, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- POINT Biopharma Global Inc. (NASDAQ: PNT), a company accelerating the discovery, development, and global access to life changing radiopharmaceuticals, today released additional preclinical data from its fibroblast activation protein-alpha (FAP-alpha) inhibitor program called PNT2004. The new data demonstrates best-in-class characteristics including rapid and persistent tumor targeting with very low retention in normal tissues. Over the duration of the preclinical study, complete tumor regression and prolonged survival were observed. Based on this exciting preclinical data, the Company exercised its option on the technology and amended the exclusive global licensing agreement with Bach Biosciences providing the Company with the opportunity to further expand uses with the highly FAP specific D-Ala-boroPro inhibitor as a targeting warhead.

Key Points: 
  • The new data demonstrates best-in-class characteristics including rapid and persistent tumor targeting with very low retention in normal tissues.
  • D-ala-boroPro is a potent and selective FAP inhibitor that has superior tumor retention and normal tissue clearance.
  • PNT6555 showed >26,000-fold selectivity for FAP over the closely related enzyme DPP4, which is broadly expressed in normal tissues, including kidneys.
