Sydney, Australia – 14 September 2026 – Radiopharm Theranostics (ASX: RAD, Nasdaq: RADX,
“Radiopharm” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on
developing innovative oncology radiopharmaceuticals for areas of high unmet medical need, today
announced that positive data from an interim analysis of the Company’s Phase 2b imaging clinical
trial (NCT06777433) of 18F-RAD101 (RAD101) in participants with suspected recurrent brain
metastases from solid tumors has been selected for a late-breaking oral presentation at the 31st
Annual Meeting of the Society of Neuro-Oncology (SNO26), taking place from November 12-15, 2026
in Philadelphia.
RAD101 is Radiopharm’s novel imaging small molecule targeting fatty acid synthase (FASN)
radiolabelled with Fluorine-18 for the diagnosis of suspected recurrent brain metastases from solid
tumors of different origins. The data from these findings will be used to support the initiation of a
pivotal multi-center, global Phase 3 imaging trial.
“Having these data selected for a late-breaking oral presentation at SNO26 is a meaningful
recognition of the potential clinical importance of RAD101,” said Riccardo Canevari, CEO and
Managing Director of Radiopharm Theranostics. “The neuro-oncology community understands
better than anyone the challenges associated with distinguishing active brain metastases from
treatment effects using current imaging approaches. Knowing whether metastatic disease is present
can fundamentally alter a patient's treatment path and prognosis. We believe these data underscore
RAD101’s potential to address a significant unmet need by helping physicians make more informed
decisions and potentially changing the course of disease management for patients with suspected
recurrent brain metastases.”
Previously reported results from the Phase 2b imaging trial of RAD101 for all assessed lesions
showed 93% concordance between MRI and PET imaging of brain metastases in this patient
population with suspected recurrence. The results showed substantial and selective tumor uptake of
RAD101. Images confirm metabolic activity in PET compared to equivocal MRI findings. Additionally,
14 patients with evaluable six-month follow-up and/or biopsy data show preliminary 86% sensitivity,
representing a strong positive trend (a secondary objective). Sensitivity measures an imaging test's
ability to correctly identify patients with disease.

In the U.S. alone, there are more than 300,000 patients diagnosed annually with cerebral
metastases. The incidence of Intracranial Metastatic Disease (IMD) continues to increase, in part,
due to improvements in systemic therapy resulting in a more durable control of the tumors outside
of the central nervous system. Contrast-enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (CE-MRI) is the
preferred method for imaging IMD, but has limitations, particularly in follow-up surveillance scans to
optimise patient care.1
RAD101 has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Fast Track Designation to distinguish
between recurrent disease and treatment effect of brain metastases originating from solid tumors of
different origin including leptomeningeal disease. The company also recently announced a
partnership with Siemens Healthineers, who will manufacture and distribute doses of 18F-labeled
RAD101 to support Radiopharm’s upcoming Phase 3 pivotal trial in the U.S.
About the Phase 2b Clinical Trial of RAD101
The U.S. multi-center, open-label, single arm Phase 2b clinical trial is assessing the diagnostic
performance of 18F-RAD101 in 30 evaluable individuals with suspected recurrent brain metastases
from solid tumors of different origins. The primary objective of the study is concordance between
18F-RAD101 PET-positive lesions and those equivocal lesions seen in conventional imaging (MRI with
gadolinium) in participants with known brain metastases and suspected relapse after stereotactic
radiosurgery (SRS). Secondary endpoints are sensitivity and specificity of RAD101 in identifying
tumor recurrence versus radiation-associated changes in previously SRS-treated brain metastases.
About RAD101
RAD101 is the Company’s novel imaging small molecule that selectively binds to fatty acid synthase
(FASN), a multi-enzyme protein that catalyses de-novo fatty acid synthesis and is overexpressed in
cerebral metastasis from solid tumors. Targeting FASN activity may allow for the more accurate
detection of cancer cells in the CNS, representing a clinically relevant method for the imaging of
brain metastases. Positive data from the Imperial College of London’s Phase 2a imaging trial of 18F-
RAD101 in patients with brain metastases (both SRS pre-treated and treatment naïve patients)
showed significant tumor uptake that was independent from the tumor of origin. The study further
indicated that PET-MRI may potentially represent a non-invasive prediction of overall-survival,
warranting larger studies.
