Speaker #3: Thank you very much, Kai. Good morning and good evening, everyone. Before I go into our strategic priorities for this year, let me take a moment to remind everyone about our competitive advantages and what it takes to lead this field.
Christian Behrenbruch: Thank you very much, Kai. Good morning and good evening, everyone. Before I go into our strategic priorities for this year, let me take a moment to remind everyone about our competitive advantages and what it takes to lead this field. We are a pure-play radiopharmaceutical firm, and our strength is based on five core pillars of activity. Firstly, our therapeutic pipeline is highly differentiated and built around significant unmet medical need. We are advancing innovative therapies in areas that have seen little to no innovation for decades, with either first-in-class or best-in-class candidates. Our portfolio is diversified with multiple shots on goal, further de-risking commercial success. We have also built in-house R&D capabilities that enable us to develop and optimize both targeting agents and their radioactive radioisotope payload, tailored to the specific biology of each disease. As we have said many times before, we are agnostic to the targeting agent and radioisotope.

Tailored to the specific biology of each disease, as we've said many times before, we are agnostic to the targeting agent and radioisotope.
Speaker #3: We let science guide these decisions. We are not wed to a narrative around a specific platform or approach. Earlier this year, we announced a collaboration with Regeneron that combines our expertise in radiopharma with Regeneron's leadership in biologics and antibody engineering. This highly complementary partnership positions us to accelerate the development of next-generation candidates and really puts us in a good place to lead in the therapeutic space in the future.

Christian Behrenbruch: We have built a specialist commercial organization, a team that represents some of the strongest talent in the industry and is our fourth core pillar in differentiating us from competition. We have invested and continue to invest in our manufacturing and supply chain capabilities. The RLS transaction last year has significantly strengthened our control over the entire value chain, from production and quality assurance to the final dose delivery. It has brought us closer to the customer, enabled us to meet growing demand, and positioned us well to deliver therapeutic solutions down the road. Earlier this year, we shared three areas of focus, and I wanted to show the progress we are making against them. On the commercial front, we delivered approximately AUD 390 million in precision medicine sales, up 27% year on year. This is driven by the successful launch of Gozellix and continued growth of Illuccix.

Christian Behrenbruch: We are now tracking towards the upper end of our guidance, very close to AUD 1 billion in revenue. On the regulatory front, we have completed the submissions for Pixclara and Pixlumi in both the US and Europe, with a PDUFA date now assigned in the US of 11 September. In terms of Zircaix, we received a corrected complete response letter from the FDA, and the resubmission process is tracking against agreed timelines with the agency. We are putting the final touches on the package and ensuring that the resubmission fully addresses all outstanding items before filing, particularly third-party manufacturing deficiencies. This, of course, remains one of our top priorities for the year. On the therapeutics front, we have advanced three phase III candidates with full alignment with the FDA on part 2 for TLX591, our prostate cancer therapeutic, and started dosing patients for the other programs.

Christian Behrenbruch: David will go into this in more detail later in the presentation. The BiPASS biopsy phase III study is close to completing the targeted enrollment. The study has the potential to significantly increase the market and change the treatment paradigm in prostate cancer. Kevin will share more on this game-changing program later in the presentation. Next slide, please. This slide illustrates our growth since 2024. As you can see, we have continued to develop the business, doubling the revenue since H1 2024 and delivered approximately 22% year-on-year growth, really eclipsing the growth of peer firms and recent financial results. We have demonstrated market leadership with two approved and reimbursed products, strong market penetration, and continued commercial execution. This really shows that our strategy works. The strategic transactions and R&D investments we have made are starting to pay off.

The acquisition of RLS, as I've mentioned, has further diversified our revenue streams and allowed us to maintain a stable third-party revenue stream since the acquisition last year.
Christian Behrenbruch: The acquisition of RLS has also, as I have mentioned, further diversified our revenue streams and allowed us to maintain a stable third-party revenue stream since the acquisition of last year. We are committed to building out full product suite capability of RLS as an independent pharmacy network, including third-party product solutions that benefit from one of the most capable distribution networks in North America. Next slide, please. As our global footprint has grown, so has our manufacturing and distribution network. This is particularly important in the field of radiopharma, where the half-lives and shelf-lives products require just-in-time manufacturing and a highly specialized supply chain to avoid disruptions or delays to patients. Last year, we expanded manufacturing and distribution capabilities in the US and Japan. These are investments that are critical to establish the foundation for a scalable infrastructure in the future.

While we expect healthy EBITDA growth to remain, we remain committed to reinvesting the capital into the business and our pipeline, as I've mentioned earlier.
Darren Smith: While we expect healthy EBITDA growth to remain, we remain committed to reinvesting the capital into the business in our pipeline, as I've mentioned earlier. Now moving to TMS. TMS generated third-party revenues of AUD 89 million, up 10% year-on-year by RLS. Since the acquisition of RLS, we have maintained a stable base of third-party revenue, further diversifying our revenue streams.
Speaker #2: Now moving to TMS. TMS generated third-party revenues of $89 million, up 10% year-on-year by RLS. Since the acquisition of RLS, we have maintained a stable base of third-party revenue, further diversifying our revenue streams.
Speaker #2: We have also successfully been driving manufacturing and supply chain efficiencies for RLS by selling a higher proportion of our own assets through them. Internal revenues of $57 million improved 70% year-on-year, representing Elucix and Gazelix distributed for RLS.
Darren Smith: We have also successfully been driving manufacturing and supply chain efficiencies for RLS by selling a higher proportion of our own assets through them. Internal revenues of AUD 57 million improved 70% year-on-year, representing Illuccix and Gozellix distributed through RLS. This means RLS is now our second-largest distributor of our products. We also continue to invest in our manufacturing sites at Seneffe, Yokohama, and selected RLS sites to ensure the global readiness to deliver our precision medicine and therapeutic candidates. Next slide, please. Our full-year revenue guidance of between AUD 950 million and AUD 970 million is maintained for 2026. We do, however, expect that to land at the upper end of the range, and we expect continued growth in excess of 20% year-on-year of our precision medicine business. Please note our full-time guidance does not reflect unapproved products, providing the potential for upside.

Speaker #3: Thank you, Darren. First slide, please. As we've talked about before, we've continued to grow our PSMA business through a very pragmatic strategy, focused on clinical differentiation and customer economics.
Kevin Richardson: Thank you, Darren. First slide, please. As we have talked about before, we have continued to grow our PSMA business through a very pragmatic strategy focused on clinical differentiation and customer economics. We launched our two-product strategy to address the different needs of our two major customer segments, and that has proven to be the right approach. As a result, we have now delivered growth every quarter, with our strongest growth rates coming in the two quarters following the launch of Gozellix. That performance has enabled us to increase both unit share and revenue share for the 16th consecutive quarter. In the second quarter, we delivered AUD 202 million in revenue, up 9% quarter-over-quarter, following AUD 186 million in the first quarter, which was up 16% quarter-over-quarter. Those results reflect not only our continued market demand but also strong execution by our commercial, operational, and customer-facing teams.

The launch of Gazelix has been very successful. Demand was strong from day one, and the adoption we've seen reinforces that our two-product strategy is delivering exactly what we've intended.
Kevin Richardson: The launch of Gozellix has been very successful. Demand was strong from day one, and the adoption we have seen reinforces that our two-product strategy is delivering exactly what we have intended. More importantly, it positions us well to continue innovating in the PSMA market with programs such as BiPASS and out floor, as we expand our ability to meet the evolving needs of physicians and patients. At the end of the day, demand for our products comes down to a few things that we work on every day. We meet customers where they are. We provide a high level of service and reliability. We clinically differentiate our products. We make them easy to order. We deliver on time, every time. We maintain a consistent pricing strategy, and we invest heavily in education around both the science and the reimbursement of PSMA imaging. That combination continues to matter.

When you combine that with the clinical performance and operational reliability and strong customer support, it continues to drive adoption across the market. Next slide, please. Moving on to global expansion. We continue to execute well internationally with our PSMA portfolio now launched or initiated across 24 countries. At the same time, we are making progress in two of the most important pharmaceutical markets in the world, China and Japan. In China, we submitted our NDA earlier this year and are waiting review by the NMPA. In Japan, we have completed enrollment in our registration-enabling study, one of the fastest recruiting studies of its kind, with more than 100 patients enrolled.

These are important milestones because China and Japan represent two of the largest pharmaceutical markets globally and significant opportunities for Telix over the long term. More broadly, our international expansion strategy is about much more than near-term diagnostic revenue. Every market that we enter allows us to build relationships with regulators, payers, physicians, and health systems while establishing the commercial and operational infrastructure we need for future therapeutic launches. In many ways, the precision medicine business is creating the foundation that will support the broader Telix portfolio for years to come. Next slide, please. Moving on to Pixclara and Zircaix, our two most important near-term launches. Starting with Pixclara, we have made significant progress over the last several months.

Speaker #3: Moving on to PixClara and Circaics, our two most important near-term launches. Starting with PixClara, we've made significant progress over the last several months. As you've heard, we've been assigned a September 11th PDUFA date in the United States and have also submitted PixLumi in Europe.
Kevin Richardson: As you have heard, we have been assigned 11 September PDUFA date in the United States and have also submitted Pixlumi in Europe. In addition, Pixclara has now been included in both NCCN and international clinical guidelines, further validating the importance of this imaging agent and the need it addresses. With the regulatory submissions behind us, our commercial, medical affairs, market access, and supply teams are launch-ready and positioned to move quickly upon approval. What is particularly encouraging is the feedback we are receiving from the market. Our research continues to indicate strong physician interest and a high level of awareness of the unmet need. We are also continuing to expand the opportunity for Pixclara. Earlier this year, we announced an IND submission in brain metastasis, an indication with a substantially larger addressable patient population than our initial target indication and one that further demonstrates the platform potential of this asset.

Speaker #3: Now, turning to Circaics, as a potentially first-in-class radio-labeled biologic to reach the market, it underscores both the significance of this imaging agent and the substantial unmet need in clear cell renal cell carcinoma.
Kevin Richardson: Now turning to Zircaix. As a potentially first-in-class radiolabeled biologic to reach the market, it underscores both the significance of this imaging agent and the substantial unmet need in clear cell renal cell carcinoma. Importantly, our confidence in the opportunity remains unchanged. Zircaix has received Breakthrough Therapy Designation and Fast Track designation, is supported by strong ZIRCON clinical data package, and is increasingly recognized within major international clinical guidelines. As a result, Zircaix remains one of our highest strategic priorities for 2026, and we remain fully committed to bringing this product to patients. When you step back, both Pixclara and Zircaix are first-in-class imaging agents addressing areas of significant unmet clinical need and further strengthening Telix leadership in precision medicine imaging.

Kevin Richardson: Zircaix is particularly important as the first radio biologic imaging agent to help establish a regulatory pathway for this emerging class of products, creating opportunities not only for Telix, but the future of molecular imaging more broadly. Next slide. Moving on to the current state of the PSMA market. Today, the PSMA imaging market is over 600,000 annual scans and is estimated to be approaching two-thirds penetrated. The majority of scan volume is concentrated in biochemical recurrence, with initial staging representing the second-largest indication. We also have approval for patient selection for patients receiving radioligand therapy, although this remains a relatively small contributor to the overall scan volumes. We have discussed previously, there are opportunities to continue expanding utilization through guideline updates, increased physician adoption, and additional clinical evidence, and treatment response or monitoring indications.

Speaker #3: As we've discussed previously, there are opportunities to continue expanding utilization through guideline updates, increased physician adoption, additional clinical evidence, and treatment response or monitoring indications.
Speaker #3: However, those opportunities are largely incremental and are not expected to fundamentally change the size of the market. So, while we continue to see growth in market expansion, the current PSMA market remains primarily driven by biochemical recurrence and staging, which together account for the majority of scans performed today.
Kevin Richardson: However, those opportunities are largely incremental and not expected to fundamentally change the size of the market. While we continue to see growth and market expansion, the current PSMA market remains primarily driven by biochemical recurrence and staging, which together account for the majority of scans performed today. Next slide, please. Moving on to BiPASS. BiPASS has the potential to fundamentally change where PSMA imaging is used in the prostate cancer journey. Today, most PSMA imaging is performed at initial staging following biochemical recurrence. BiPASS could move PSMA imaging to diagnosis, bringing it to the very beginning of prostate cancer diagnosis, which has the largest patient population. If successful, we believe BiPASS could approximately double the existing PSMA imaging market by creating a new pre-biopsy market segment for Telix PSMA.

Kevin Richardson: As we have discussed before, approximately 800,000 prostate biopsies are performed annually in the US, with roughly 75% proving negative. BiPASS has the potential to reduce unnecessary biopsies while improving confidence in patients who ultimately proceed to biopsy. In addition, up to 200,000 patients delay or decline core needle biopsy each year because of its invasive nature. We believe patients are increasingly seeking less invasive approaches to prostate cancer diagnosis when supported by strong clinical evidence. Importantly, our confidence in BiPASS is supported by PRIMARY and PRIMARY2 studies, which demonstrated that PSMA PET, combined with MRI, improved prostate cancer detection and showed the potential to reduce unnecessary biopsies. Strategically, BiPASS is important because it has the potential to anchor Telix PSMA at the beginning of the patient's prostate cancer diagnosis.

Speaker #3: Strategically, BiPASS is important because it has the potential to anchor Telix PSMA at the beginning of the patient's prostate cancer diagnosis. If a physician adopts BiPASS, we believe they will increasingly prefer to use the same PSMA imaging agent throughout the patient's cancer journey—from diagnosis through staging, recurrence, and ongoing monitoring.
Kevin Richardson: If a physician adopts BiPASS, we believe they will increasingly prefer to use the same PSMA imaging agent throughout the patient's cancer journey, from diagnosis through staging, reoccurrence, and ongoing monitoring. Consistency of imaging and interpretation becomes increasingly important as the patients move through the continuum of cancer care. That is what makes this opportunity so compelling. BiPASS doesn't simply expand the market, it has the potential to redefine and redistribute it. Through scientific innovation and clinical evidence, Telix has the opportunity to create and lead a new category of PSMA imaging in the pre-biopsy setting, possibly displacing the existing indications over time. Advancing science that reduces unnecessary procedures, reduces risk, and increase in patient outcomes is true market leadership. With that, I will hand it over to our Chief Medical Officer, Dr. David Cade.

Speaker #2: Thanks, Kevin. What a great opportunity. Next slide, please. Well, this is our pipeline slide, and as you can see, our two primary areas of focus are within urologic and neurologic oncology.
David Cade: Thanks, Kevin. What a great opportunity. Next slide, please. Well, this is our pipeline slide, and as you can see, our two primary areas of focus are within urologic and neurologic oncology. Within urologic oncology, we have our two late-stage programs in prostate and kidney cancer, but also follow on alpha therapy candidates in earlier stages of development. Looking at neuro-oncology, which is our other key area of focus, this is a field in which new drug innovation has largely been stagnant over the past couple of decades. Here, against that background, we have a phase III candidate, TLX101, that has shown promising data to date, as well as an alpha therapy candidate utilizing astatine also in early development.

Speaker #2: Within our other tumors domain, we're exploring different targets, including our Telix 400 candidate targeting fibroblast activation protein, or FAP, which is expressed within the tumor microenvironment across a very broad range of tumors, and therefore, this asset has pan-cancer potential.
David Cade: Within our other tumors domain, we are exploring different targets, including our TLX400 candidate, targeting fibroblast activation protein, or FAP, that is expressed within the tumor microenvironment across a very broad range of tumors. Therefore, this asset has pan-cancer potential. I would like to also briefly mention the imaging agents and how we think about these. For every therapeutic candidate, we develop an imaging agent. In many cases, these are true theranostic pairs. With imaging agents developed at the forefront, we generate significant clinical data before making additional investment decisions in the corresponding therapeutic program. By the time we advance a therapeutic candidate, we have already developed a strong understanding of its biodistribution and its selectivity for the intended target, which significantly addresses the level of risk in the therapeutic development pathway. Let us go to the next slide, please.

David Cade: On this slide, I wanted to highlight a few programs that we are focused on and where we have made significant progress through the H1 of this year. Starting with ProstACT Global, this is our phase III candidate for metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer. We recently announced that the FDA had completed its review of the safety data from part one of the study, and that we have also fully aligned with the FDA on the protocol design for part two of the study. Essentially, our next step is to amend the IND that we have and align the regulatory submissions for the US with the European Medicines Agency. Outside of the United States, we are also pleased with the progress we are seeing in part two of ProstACT Global.

Speaker #2: Starting with Prostact Global, this is our phase three candidate for metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer. We recently announced that the FDA had completed its review of the safety data from part one of the study.
Speaker #2: And we've also fully aligned with the FDA on the protocol design for part two of the study. So essentially, our next step is to amend the IND that we have and align the regulatory submissions for the US with the European Medicines Agency.
Speaker #2: Outside of the United States, we're also pleased with the progress we're seeing in part two of PROSTACT Global. We're currently enrolling patients in seven countries, and we look forward to providing an update on the pre-planned interim analysis of radiographic progression-free survival, which is the primary endpoint, when that becomes available.
David Cade: We are currently enrolling patients in seven countries, and we look forward to providing an update on the pre-planned interim analysis of radiographic progression-free survival, which is the primary endpoint, when that becomes available. Remembering that this is a milestone that is event-driven, in other words, needing 81 disease progression events to trigger this first analysis. Before I move away from prostate cancer, I would also like to highlight TLX597, our next-generation small molecule candidate that has shown some promising early data. We presented some of that data earlier this year, demonstrating a very low radiation dose to the salivary glands and the kidneys, while at the same time delivering a high dose to the tumor. This favorable dosimetry profile, high to tumors and low to normal tissues, makes it an ideal candidate in the early metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer setting.

Speaker #2: Remembering that this is a milestone that's event-driven—in other words, needing 81 disease progression events to trigger this first analysis. Now, before I move away from prostate cancer, I'd also like to highlight Telix 597, our next-generation small molecule candidate that's shown some promising early data.
Speaker #2: We presented some of that data earlier this year, demonstrating a very low radiation dose to the salivary glands and the kidneys, while at the same time delivering a high dose to the tumor.
Speaker #2: So this favorable dosimetry profile—high to tumors and low to normal tissues—makes it an ideal candidate in the early metastatic, hormone-sensitive prostate cancer setting.
Speaker #2: There are currently two phase two studies ongoing where enrollment is completed in Optimal PSMA in metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer. And we've now also started dosing patients in Optimal E in metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer.
David Cade: There are currently two phase II studies ongoing where enrollment is completed in OPTIMAL-PSMA in metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer. We have now also started dosing patients in OPTIMAL-e in metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer. We are also advancing TLX090 in a phase I study for the palliation of bone pain from skeletal metastases that occurs in patients with very advanced disease. TLX090, I think, fits very well within our urology domain, given that most patients with metastatic prostate cancer will ultimately develop bony metastases. Moving on to IPAX BrIGHT, this is our phase III study in glioblastoma. This study is evaluating TLX101 in combination with the chemotherapy agent lomustine, and it continues to progress well. We are currently dosing patients in the first cohort, which commenced at the highest planned dose levels.

Speaker #2: Telix 90, I think, fits very well within our urology domain, given that most patients with metastatic prostate cancer will ultimately develop bony metastases. Now, moving on to IPACS-BRITE, this is our phase 3 study in glioblastoma.
Speaker #2: This study is evaluating Telix 101 in combination with the chemotherapy agent lomustine, and it continues to progress well. We're currently dosing patients in the first cohort, which commenced at the highest planned dose levels.
Speaker #2: Now, if the combination demonstrates an acceptable tolerability profile, we'll advance into the expansion cohort to further characterize the safety of this combination of TLX101 plus chemotherapy.
David Cade: If the combination demonstrates an acceptable tolerability profile, we will advance into the expansion cohort to further characterize the safety of this combination of TLX101 plus chemotherapy. Moving on to LUTEON. This is our monotherapy study for renal cell carcinoma using a CA9 or carbonic anhydrase IX targeting antibody. LUTEON is being run under a phase III protocol in Australia, and it forms part of our global development program for TLX250, which also includes the phase II LUTEON ATLAS study in the United States and Europe. We have advanced this study through its site activation, and it has begun dosing patients. Lastly, I wanted to highlight the collaboration we entered into earlier this year with Regeneron. This partnership builds on our well-established expertise across radiopharmaceutical development, and it reflects our shared commitment to advance the next generation of candidates with a focus on alpha therapies.

Speaker #2: Now, this partnership builds on our well-established expertise across radiopharmaceutical development, and it reflects our shared commitment to advance the next generation of candidates, with a focus on alpha therapies.
Speaker #2: We believe that we're uniquely positioned to drive innovation in this emerging field—that's alpha therapies—and to have the opportunity to play a leading role in the future of precision oncology.
David Cade: We believe that we are uniquely positioned to drive innovation in this emerging field, that is alpha therapies, and to have the opportunity to play a leading role in the future of precision oncology. Let us move to the next slide, please. This is a slide you may have seen before, but I believe it is valuable to describe how we are thinking about the therapeutic cascade across the continuum of prostate cancer care. TLX591, as I mentioned, uses a radio antibody drug conjugate to deliver the therapeutic payload. It has a long tumor retention with limited radiation exposure to healthy organs, as well as a convenient two-dose regimen that really facilitates its combination together with a backbone of standard of care.

Speaker #2: Telix 591, as I mentioned, uses a radio-antibody drug conjugate to deliver the therapeutic payload. It has long tumor retention with limited radiation exposure to healthy organs.
Speaker #2: As well as the convenient two-dose regimen that really facilitates its combination together with a backbone of standard of care, this candidate is well suited for the first-line and second-line metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer setting.
David Cade: This candidate is well-suited for the first-line and second-line metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer setting, which is a more advanced disease state that may benefit from a therapy with a more convenient dosing regimen that better enables it to be layered on top of the ongoing use of a standard of care backbone of therapy. Moving to TLX597, our small molecule candidate. This is a highly targeted next generation small molecule radioligand therapy, which has demonstrated the highly favorable dosimetry profile I talked about earlier, which really makes it uniquely positioned for use in earlier metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer, where efficacy, while maintaining quality of life in that early stage of disease, is of utter paramount importance. We believe the preliminary data are compelling, and we look forward to providing an update on the various trials once their data are sufficiently mature.

Speaker #2: Which is a more advanced disease state that may benefit from a therapy with a more convenient dosing regimen that better enables it to be layered on top of the ongoing use of a standard-of-care backbone therapy.
Speaker #2: Now, moving to TLX597, our small molecule candidate. This is a highly targeted, next-generation small molecule radioligand therapy, which has demonstrated the highly favorable dosimetry profile I talked about earlier.
Speaker #2: Which really makes it uniquely positioned for use in earlier metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer, where efficacy while maintaining quality of life in that early stage of disease is of utter paramount importance.
Speaker #2: We believe the preliminary data are compelling, and we look forward to providing an update on the various trials once their data are sufficiently mature.
Speaker #2: As patients' disease will almost always progress, we're studying the use of an actinium-based alpha therapy, Telix 592, in the later-line setting, as we view that alpha therapies are sequential to beta therapies at this point in their development.
David Cade: As patients' disease will almost always progress, we're studying the use of an actinium-based alpha therapy, TLX592, in the later line setting, as we view that alpha therapies are sequential to beta therapies at this point in their development, so after beta therapies. Finally, our portfolio approach also captures our bone pain palliation candidate, TLX090. As I mentioned earlier, when cancers metastasize to the bony skeleton, in most cases, it results in pain and a significant degradation in quality of life. We see pain palliation as an equally critical component in late cancer care. With that, I'll hand back to you, Chris, for some final remarks.

Speaker #2: So, after beta therapies, now, finally, our portfolio approach also captures our bone pain palliation candidate, Telix-90. As I mentioned earlier, when cancers metastasize to the bony skeleton, in most cases, it results in pain and a significant degradation in quality of life.
Speaker #2: We see pain palliation as an equally critical component in late cancer care. And with that, I'll hand back to you, Chris, for some final remarks.
Speaker #3: Thanks. Thanks very much, David. So, to conclude, we entered the year with a strong lineup of catalysts, and at the halfway point, the list has expanded quite a bit.
Christian Behrenbruch: Thanks very much, David. To conclude, we entered the year with a strong lineup of catalysts, and at the halfway point, the list has expanded quite a bit. This is a significant and impactful year for the company, for sure. We continue to successfully navigate the regulatory processes and advance our programs with two near-term launches. As I said earlier, Zircaix is a top priority to us and will be refiled very soon. We have three pivotal therapeutic trials that have generated readouts and continue to advance towards important upcoming clinical and regulatory milestones, and you can expect plenty of clinical touch points in the coming months. We have a strong pipeline of new assets advancing behind. These are assets that have generated some very compelling data, as David has outlined.

Speaker #3: And, as I said earlier, as ARCHAICS is a top priority for us and will be refiled very soon. We have three pivotal therapeutic trials that have generated readouts and continue to advance towards important upcoming clinical and regulatory milestones.
Speaker #3: And you can expect plenty of clinical touchpoints in the coming months. We have a strong pipeline of new assets advancing behind. These are assets that have generated some very compelling data, as David has outlined.
Speaker #3: Our international expansion is progressing well and remains a critical component of our strategy to establish the needed infrastructure for future therapeutic launches. Overall, I believe that we're in a strong position, with positive momentum across the business and multiple important catalysts ahead in the second half of the year.
Christian Behrenbruch: Our international expansion is progressing well and remains a critical component of our strategy to establish the needed infrastructure for future therapeutic launches. Overall, I believe that we're in a strong position with positive momentum across the business and multiple important catalysts ahead in the H2 of the year. I also wanted to note that we'll be hosting an R&D day in New York on 22 September, where we'll provide an overview of our pipeline assets and go into a bit more detail around the data. In addition to having our management there, you'll get an opportunity to hear perspectives from leading key opinion leaders in the space.

So we're really excited to showcase all the progress we've made over the last twelve months, and I'd very much like to acknowledge the efforts of my executive team, who internalized some of the setbacks we had last year and really rewired the way in which we approach our developments and clinical activities.
Christian Behrenbruch: We're really excited to showcase all the progress we've made over the last 12 months, and I'd very much like to acknowledge the efforts of my executive team, who internalized some of the setbacks we've had last year and really rewired the way in which we approach our developments and clinical activities. Before we move to Q&A, I'd like to take a moment to thank my colleagues and all of our employees. Their dedication, hard work, and commitment every day are what enables us to advance our mission of delivering life-changing treatments to patients. With that, I'll hand it over to the operator for Q&A.

Speaker #4: Good morning, Chris and team. Thanks for taking the questions. I guess market share has been an important factor for you this year with the PSMA imaging portfolio.
Chris Cooper: Morning, Chris and team. Thanks for taking the questions. I guess market share has been an important factor for you this year with the PSMA imaging portfolio. We now know that Truview has the reimbursement code coming into effect on 1 October. Just your latest thinking on how you expect that market share development to progress through the balance of the year, please, given that.
Chris Cooper: Morning, Chris and team. Thanks for taking the questions. I guess market share has been an important factor for you this year with the PSMA imaging portfolio. We now know that Truview has the reimbursement code coming into effect on 1 October. Just your latest thinking on how you expect that market share development to progress through the balance of the year, please, given that.
Speaker #4: We now know that TruView has the reimbursement code coming into effect on the 1st of October. Could you please share your latest thinking on how you expect that market share development to progress through the balance of the year, given that?
Speaker #3: Well, we don't really see—we don't really expect—a huge amount of impact, unlike Gazelle-X and Elucix, which are really, you know, these are two very different products that are delivered simultaneously to the market.
Christian Behrenbruch: Well, we do not really expect a huge amount of impact unlike Gozellix and Illuccix, which are really These are 2 very different products that are delivered simultaneously to the market. Based on the information that has been put out into the public domain, Truview has really been positioned more as a manufacturing improvement. As a consequence, it will be a product that will have to get rolled out across all segments of the market, rather than be a market segmentation strategy that we have undertaken with our 2-product strategy. So, we have not modified our guidance. Our guidance bakes in what we think is going to be the realistic outcome for the year, and really nothing has changed from our perspective. I do not know, Kevin, if you want to add anything.

Speaker #3: I don't know, Kevin, if you want to add anything.
Speaker #5: I would just add that we see it as a similar product, and our approach to the market has been very pragmatic. We manage that across all segments, and we believe that the two-product strategy was the right one and has proven to be very successful for us.
Kevin Richardson: I would just add that we see it as a similar product, and our approach to the market has been very pragmatic and we manage that across all segments. We believe that the 2-product strategy was the right one, and it has proven to be very successful for us, so we will continue that.

Speaker #5: And so we'll continue that.
Speaker #3: Yeah. Thanks, Chris.
Christian Behrenbruch: Yep. Thanks, Chris.
Christian Behrenbruch: Yep. Thanks, Chris.
Speaker #4: Thank you. And the second one, please, just on Zarkax, I guess. I mean, good to see the extension that's granted, although probably a bit disappointing that it was necessary.
Chris Cooper: Thank you. Second one, please, just on the Zircaix, I guess. Good to see the extension was granted, although probably a bit disappointing it was necessary. You say you are making good progress, and I think you just said there, Chris, the resubmission is going to happen very soon. I presume that means now the next couple of months, but we have also been assuming that for a while. How much of that is within your own control at this stage?
Chris Cooper: Thank you. Second one, please, just on the Zircaix, I guess. Good to see the extension was granted, although probably a bit disappointing it was necessary. You say you are making good progress, and I think you just said there, Chris, the resubmission is going to happen very soon. I presume that means now the next couple of months, but we have also been assuming that for a while. How much of that is within your own control at this stage?
Speaker #4: You say you're making good progress, and I think you just said there, Chris, that the recent mission is going to happen very soon. I presume that means in the next couple of months, but we've also been assuming that for a while.
Speaker #4: How much of that is within your own control at this stage?
Speaker #3: All of it.
Christian Behrenbruch: All of it.
Christian Behrenbruch: All of it.
Speaker #4: Okay. And so, is it correct to assume the resubmission should occur in the next month or two?
Chris Cooper: Okay. Is it correct to assume the resubmission should occur in the next month or two?
Chris Cooper: Okay. Is it correct to assume the resubmission should occur in the next month or two?
Speaker #3: That would be a reasonable assumption.
Christian Behrenbruch: That would be a reasonable assumption.
Christian Behrenbruch: That would be a reasonable assumption.
Speaker #4: Thanks for taking the questions.
Chris Cooper: Thanks for taking the questions.
Chris Cooper: Thanks for taking the questions.
Speaker #1: Thank you. Your next question comes from Laura Sutcliffe from Citi. Please go ahead.
Operator 2: Thank you. Your next question comes from Laura Sutcliffe from Citi. Please go ahead.
Operator: Thank you. Your next question comes from Laura Sutcliffe from Citi. Please go ahead.
Speaker #6: Hello, thank you for taking my question. I have one on the BYPASS trial, please. I think target recruitment was increased for a second time earlier this year, which we understand is because there was a need to increase the statistical powering of the trial.
Laura Sutcliffe: Hello. Thank you for taking my question. I have one on the BiPASS trial, please. I think target recruitment was increased for a second time earlier this year, which we understand is because there was a need to increase the statistical powering of the trial. Is that right? If so, could you tell us a bit more about what motivated the need for the increased powering?
Laura Sutcliffe: Hello. Thank you for taking my question. I have one on the BiPASS trial, please. I think target recruitment was increased for a second time earlier this year, which we understand is because there was a need to increase the statistical powering of the trial. Is that right? If so, could you tell us a bit more about what motivated the need for the increased powering?
Speaker #6: Is that right? And if so, could you tell us a bit more about what motivated the need for the increased powering?
Speaker #3: I think there's been a lot of chatter about statistical powering, and it's not something that we've spoken really openly about. You know, when we started the trial, there were a number of design assumptions, and as the trial's matured, so too has our approach to recruitment.
Christian Behrenbruch: I think there has been a lot of chatter about statistical powering, and it is not something that we have spoken really openly about. When we started the trial, there were a number of design assumptions, and as the trial has matured, so too has our approach been to recruitment. Actually, the most interesting dynamic of the study was that we had a huge amount of uptake. We rapidly onboarded a lot of sites, and in fact, the trial essentially recruited in 5 months, which I think is about the fastest study. Because of the backlog of patients that we had in the study, we actually elected to fulfill the backlog. So it is not as simplistic as a statistical plan or a statistical analysis. It is more about the dynamic of the study itself. I do not know, Dave, if you want to add anything to that.

Speaker #3: It's more about the dynamic of the study itself. I don't know, Dave, if you want to add anything to that.
Speaker #5: Just really, all I would add, Laura, is that it was a very close and, I think, collaborative dialogue with the FDA. The FDA understands the background of the primary and the primary two studies that came from Australia.
David Cade: Just really, all I would add, Laura, is that it was a very close, and I think collaborative dialogue with the FDA. The FDA understands the background of the PRIMARY and the PRIMARY2 studies that came from Australia, and they were large multicenter, but investigator-initiated trials, generating data not ultimately fit for an FDA filing. So the FDA really understands that background, and BiPASS is an industry-sponsored study that builds on those studies, with agreed endpoints, an agreed statistical analysis plan, intended to support a regulatory filing, as Kevin has so nicely articulated. Yeah.
David Cade: Just really, all I would add, Laura, is that it was a very close, and I think collaborative dialogue with the FDA. The FDA understands the background of the PRIMARY and the PRIMARY2 studies that came from Australia, and they were large multicenter, but investigator-initiated trials, generating data not ultimately fit for an FDA filing. So the FDA really understands that background, and BiPASS is an industry-sponsored study that builds on those studies, with agreed endpoints, an agreed statistical analysis plan, intended to support a regulatory filing, as Kevin has so nicely articulated. Yeah.
Speaker #5: And they were large, multi-center but investigator-initiated trials—generating data not ultimately fit for an FDA filing. So the FDA really understands that background, and BYPASS is an industry-sponsored study that builds on those studies, with agreed endpoints and an agreed statistical analysis plan intended to support a regulatory filing, as Kevin has so nicely articulated.
Speaker #5: Yeah.
Speaker #3: Yeah, hopefully that answers your question, Laura.
Christian Behrenbruch: Hopefully that answers your question, Laura.
Christian Behrenbruch: Hopefully that answers your question, Laura.
Speaker #6: Thank you. And then just to come back to Zarkax, I heard the comment you made in response to Chris's question just now about resubmitting in the next one to two months.
Laura Sutcliffe: Thank you. Just to come back to Zircaix. I heard the comment you made in response to Chris's question just now about resubmitting in the next 1 to 2 months. Does the extension that you have from FDA come with any specific time frames or deadlines? Is its existence a consequence in any way of the corrected CRL that you received, which seems to say that the regulator failed to consider some CMC data that you submitted a year or so ago, or are they unconnected?
Laura Sutcliffe: Thank you. Just to come back to Zircaix. I heard the comment you made in response to Chris's question just now about resubmitting in the next 1 to 2 months. Does the extension that you have from FDA come with any specific time frames or deadlines? Is its existence a consequence in any way of the corrected CRL that you received, which seems to say that the regulator failed to consider some CMC data that you submitted a year or so ago, or are they unconnected?
Speaker #6: Does the extension that you have from FDA come with any specific time frames or deadlines? And is its existence a consequence in any way of the corrected CRL that you received, which seems to say that the regulator failed to consider some CMC data that you submitted a year or so ago?
Speaker #6: Or are they unconnected?
Speaker #3: They're unconnected. There weren't any additional actions that came out of the delayed CRL—that was an administrative matter on the FDA side.
Christian Behrenbruch: They're unconnected. There wasn't any additional actions that came out of the delayed CRL. That was an administrative matter on the FDA side. From our perspective, nothing really changed. Just to be clear, there's been a lot of chatter about deadlines and dates or something, but we're not quite sure where this really comes from. There's nothing that's restricted us from being flexible on the date of resubmission.
Christian Behrenbruch: They're unconnected. There wasn't any additional actions that came out of the delayed CRL. That was an administrative matter on the FDA side. From our perspective, nothing really changed. Just to be clear, there's been a lot of chatter about deadlines and dates or something, but we're not quite sure where this really comes from. There's nothing that's restricted us from being flexible on the date of resubmission.
Speaker #3: So, from our perspective, nothing really changed. And just to be clear, there's been a lot of chatter about deadlines and dates or something, but we're not quite sure where this really comes from.
Speaker #3: There's nothing that's restricted us from, you know, being flexible on the date of resubmission.
Speaker #6: Okay. Thank you.
Laura Sutcliffe: Okay. Thank you.
Laura Sutcliffe: Okay. Thank you.
Speaker #1: Thank you. Your next question comes from Andy Shea from William Blair. Please go ahead.
Operator 2: Thank you. Your next question comes from Andy Shay from William Blair. Please go ahead.
Operator: Thank you. Your next question comes from Andy Shay from William Blair. Please go ahead.
Speaker #5: Thanks for taking our questions, and congratulations on continued, solid commercial execution. Two macro questions, if you don't mind. One, maybe against the backdrop of your comment on being modality-agnostic and the Regeneron collaboration.
Andy Shay: Thanks for taking our questions, and congratulations on continued solid commercial execution. Two macro questions, if you don't mind. One, maybe against the backdrop of your comment on being modality agnostic and the Regeneron collaboration. There's a pretty animated, I would say, discussion at the ASCO radiopharma session about antibody modality, mostly on a negative perspective. I'm curious, Chris, if you can opine on that or rebut against that. Secondarily, Lantheus is, I guess, in the process of being merged with Curium, and I'm curious, just against that backdrop, do you see a difference in terms of your strategy, or you're going to continue everything as planned? Thank you.

Speaker #5: There's a pretty animated, I would say, discussion at the ASCO Radio Pharma session about antibody modality—mostly from a negative perspective. So I'm curious, Chris, if you can kind of opine on that or rebut against that.
Speaker #5: Secondarily, Lanthi is, I guess, in the process of being merged with Curium. And I'm curious, just against that backdrop, do you see a difference in terms of your strategy or is it kind of continuing everything as planned?
Speaker #5: Thank you.
Speaker #3: I think for the first question—and data always speaks for itself—I think that the rebuttal, I mean, since you were there at the ASCO session, you know that the rebuttal from the floor was actually pretty vibrant as well.
Christian Behrenbruch: I think for the first question, data always speaks for itself, and I think that the rebuttal, since you were there at the ASCO session, you know that the rebuttal from the floor was actually pretty vibrant as well. I think nuclear medicine has a history of being developed on budget-conscious academic environments where there's no ability to even consider experimenting with a biologic. There's a lot of prejudice there that isn't driven by data. It's really driven by capability, and I think that exists to the present day. At the end of the day, what we care about is what's the pharmacology of the drug? How does it interact with the target? How does it deliver a payload? We obviously wouldn't be investing money into programs when we have an agnostic approach if we didn't feel that there was a merit to doing so.

Speaker #3: So I think, you know, nuclear medicine has a history of being developed in budget-conscious academic environments, where there's no ability to even consider experimenting with a biologic.
Speaker #3: And so there's a lot of prejudice there that isn't driven by data; it's really driven by capability. And I think that exists to the present day.
Speaker #3: At the end of the day, what we care about is: what's the pharmacology of the drug? How does it interact with the target? How does it deliver a payload?
Speaker #3: And we obviously wouldn't be investing money into programs when we have an agnostic approach if we didn't feel that there was merit to doing so.
Speaker #3: So I would encourage anyone that's interested in debating that further, come to our R&D Day, and that would be the place, certainly, where we can go and do a deep dive on that—perhaps rather than on an investor or half-year results call.
Christian Behrenbruch: I would encourage anyone that's interested in debating that further, come to our R&D day, and that would be the place certainly where we can go and do a deep dive on that, perhaps rather than an investor half-year results call. I think regarding the second question, it'll be disappointing not to have a competitor reminding us of their 2% growth compared to our 22% growth on their earnings calls. I'm not sure that that's something that we'll miss as a comparison and contrast. It sort of mystifies us a bit why you would bother acquiring a company with such a flat growth outlook. Apparently, maybe it's a European mentality or something, I don't know. Nonetheless, we kind of see it as business as usual for us, and it'll be interesting to see what happens in the future in the space.

Speaker #3: I think, regarding the second question, it’ll be disappointing not to have a competitor reminding us of their 2% growth compared to our 22% growth on their earnings calls.
Speaker #3: But I'm not sure that's something that we'll miss as a comparison and contrast. It sort of mystifies us a bit why you would bother acquiring a company with such a flat growth outlook.
Speaker #3: But apparently, maybe it's a European mentality or something—I don't know. But nonetheless, we kind of see it as business as usual for us.
Speaker #3: And it'll be interesting to see what happens in the future, you know, in the space.
Speaker #5: That's very helpful. Thanks, Chris.
Andy Shay: That's very helpful. Thanks, Chris.
Andy Hsieh: That's very helpful. Thanks, Chris.
Speaker #1: Thank you. Your next question comes from David Dye from UBS. Please go ahead.
Operator 2: Thank you. Your next question comes from David Dai from UBS. Please go ahead.
Operator: Thank you. Your next question comes from David Dai from UBS. Please go ahead.
Speaker #5: Agreed, thanks. I think my question is—also, congrats on the quarter. I just have a couple of questions actually on the BYPASS study. It seems like the enrollment is going very fast.
David Dai: Great. Thanks for taking my questions. Also, congrats on the quarter. A couple of questions actually on BiPASS studies. It seems like the enrollment is going very fast. If you could just provide some early feedback from physicians' enthusiasm on the study so far, and what successful outcomes would look like for that study.
David Dai: Great. Thanks for taking my questions. Also, congrats on the quarter. A couple of questions actually on BiPASS studies. It seems like the enrollment is going very fast. If you could just provide some early feedback from physicians' enthusiasm on the study so far, and what successful outcomes would look like for that study.
Speaker #5: I mean, you could just provide some, you know, early feedback from physician enthusiasts, some of the studies so far, and what successful outcomes would look like for that study?
Speaker #3: I think, Dave, that's your wheelhouse. Do you want to pick that one up?
Christian Behrenbruch: Dave, that is your wheelhouse. You want to pick that one up?
Christian Behrenbruch: Dave, that is your wheelhouse. You want to pick that one up?
Speaker #4: Yeah. Look, we were pleasantly surprised. You know, this study is a multi-center international trial, but essentially, 'international' means the United States and Australia—multiple sites across both of those countries.
David Cade: Well, look, we were pleasantly surprised. This study, multi-center international trial, but essentially international means United States and Australia, multiple sites across both of those countries. The first site was a site in Melbourne. It kicked the study off. That is where we got the ethics committee approval first before we got the IND and the IRB approvals to open other sites starting in Texas and then expanding in the US from there. But what pleasantly surprised us was the site in Melbourne almost had the study done and dusted by itself.
David Cade: Well, look, we were pleasantly surprised. This study, multi-center international trial, but essentially international means United States and Australia, multiple sites across both of those countries. The first site was a site in Melbourne.

But what pleasantly surprised us was the site in Melbourne almost had the study done and dusted by itself.
Speaker #4: The first site was a site in Melbourne; that kicked the study off. That's where we got the ethics committee approval first, before we got the IND and the IRB approvals to open other sites—starting in Texas and then expanding in the US from there.
Speaker #4: But what pleasantly surprised us was the site in Melbourne. Almost, almost had the study done and dusted by itself. They enrolled a very significant proportion of patients, and we didn't tell them to slow down. But what that showed—what that showed—was that there's clearly a very significant physician desire to add the benefits of gallium PSMA PET imaging on top of MRI imaging, because they believe from their experience on the study that it furnishes the clinician with more useful information about whether to biopsy or not.
David Cade: They enrolled a very significant proportion of patients, and we did not tell them to slow down, but what that showed was that there is clearly a very significant physician desire to add the benefits of gallium PSMA PET imaging on top of MRI imaging because they believe from their experience on study that it furnishes the clinician with more useful information about whether to biopsy or not, if to biopsy, what type of biopsy to do, a template biopsy or an image-directed biopsy. So the treatment planning can be done with a lot more certainty for the patient. So that early experience and that rapid enrollment rate classically will tell you something about the investigators' feelings towards the clinical performance of the asset under study.

So that early experience and that rapid enrollment rate classically will tell you something about the investigators' feelings towards the clinical performance of the asset under study.
Speaker #4: If you do a biopsy, what type of biopsy should you do—a template biopsy or an image-directed biopsy? And so, the treatment planning can be done with a lot more certainty for the patient.
Speaker #4: So, that early experience and that rapid enrollment rate typically, classically, will tell you something about the investigators' feelings towards the clinical performance of the asset under study.
Speaker #4: And that then propagated when we were able to open the study at the sites in the US and, as Chris said, it enrolled within about five months for the total sample size of sort of 350-odd patients.
David Cade: That then propagated when we were able to open the study at the sites in the US, as Chris said, it enrolled within about 5 months for the total sample size of 350 odd patients.
David Cade: That then propagated when we were able to open the study at the sites in the US, as Chris said, it enrolled within about 5 months for the total sample size of 350 odd patients.
Speaker #3: Yeah.
Christian Behrenbruch: Yeah. I would just add that our lead investigator for the US is going to be at the R&D Day as well to talk through that, so it would be a good time to hear his opinion about your question.
Kevin Richardson: Yeah. I would just add that our lead investigator for the US is going to be at the R&D Day as well to talk through that, so it would be a good time to hear his opinion about your question.
Speaker #5: I would just add that our lead investigator for the US is going to be at the R&D Day as well to talk through that.
Speaker #5: So it would be a good time to hear his opinion about your question.
Speaker #3: I think that hopefully answers your question. Yeah, thank you.
David Cade: I think that's.
Christian Behrenbruch: I think that's. Hopefully that answers your question. Yep. Thank you.
Christian Behrenbruch: Hopefully that answers your question. Yep. Thank you.
Speaker #1: Thank you. Your next question comes from David Stanton from Jefferies. Please go ahead.
Operator 2: Thank you.
Operator: Thank you.
Christian Behrenbruch: Next question.
Christian Behrenbruch: Next question.
Operator 2: Your next question comes from David Stanton from Jefferies. Please go ahead.
Operator: Your next question comes from David Stanton from Jefferies. Please go ahead.
Speaker #6: Good morning, team, and thank you very much for taking my question. Just one from me: can you give us an update in terms of potential timelines for Pixolumi, now that the marketing authorization application has been accepted?
David Stanton: Morning, team. Thanks very much for taking my question. Just one from me. Can you give us an update in terms of potential timelines for Pixlumi? In terms of the Marketing Authorisation Application has been accepted, when might we hear a decision on that, please?
David Stanton: Morning, team. Thanks very much for taking my question. Just one from me. Can you give us an update in terms of potential timelines for Pixlumi? In terms of the Marketing Authorisation Application has been accepted, when might we hear a decision on that, please?
Speaker #6: When might we hear a decision on that, please?
Speaker #3: Look, we haven't really given updated timelines because there's some early review of the package that can lead to clock stops and stuff like that, that we haven't sort of crystallized.
Christian Behrenbruch: Look, we haven't really given updated timelines because there's some early review of the package that can lead to clock stops and stuff like that that we haven't sort of crystallized. I think that's more of a watch and wait at this point in time. If you follow the review timelines, the letter from submission, it's around an 18-month process. It can go a little bit faster, a little bit slower, depending on clock stops and review times. But that's sort of the standardized approach. I don't think there's anything in our submission that's particularly controversial, and we're not expecting any major issues. I think when we submitted the Pixlumi package, we had the benefit of having had it reviewed by a major regulator already. When we submitted it was with a high degree of confidence in the package that we were putting forward.
Christian Behrenbruch: Look, we haven't really given updated timelines because there's some early review of the package that can lead to clock stops and stuff like that that we haven't sort of crystallized. I think that's more of a watch and wait at this point in time. If you follow the review timelines, the letter from submission, it's around an 18-month process.

I think when we submitted the Pixlumi package, we had the benefit of having had it reviewed by a major regulator already. When we submitted it was with a high degree of confidence in the package that we were putting forward.
Speaker #3: So I think that's more of a watch and wait at this point in time. You know, if you follow the review timeline to the letter, from submission, it's about an 18-month process.
Speaker #3: It can go a little bit faster or a little bit slower, depending on clock stops and review times. But that's sort of the standardized approach.
Speaker #3: I don't think there's anything in our submission that's particularly controversial, and we're not expecting any major issues. I think when we submitted the Pixolumi package, we had the benefit of having had it reviewed by a major regulator already.
Speaker #3: And so, when we submitted, it was with a high degree of confidence in the package that we were putting forward. So, we'll certainly be keeping you updated on timelines.
Christian Behrenbruch: We'll certainly be keeping you updated on timelines. Do you have another question, David?
Christian Behrenbruch: We'll certainly be keeping you updated on timelines. Do you have another question, David?
Speaker #3: Do you have another question?
Speaker #1: Understood.
Speaker #3: David?
Speaker #6: No, that's it. Thank you very much.
David Stanton: No, that's it. Thank you very much.
David Stanton: No, that's it. Thank you very much.

Operator: Thank you. Your next question comes from Melissa Benson, from Barrenjoey. Please go ahead.
Speaker #7: Good morning, team. Thank you for taking questions. I just have two. The first one is to clarify something about David's comments regarding Prostate Global and the progress there.
Melissa Benson [Senior Emerging Companies Analyst: Morning, team. Thank you for taking questions. I just had two. The first one was just to clarify something on David's comments around ProstACT Global and the progress there. You had the successful June FDA meeting we heard back there around part two. Have you now filed, I guess, the formality of the IND amendment paperwork? So it is kind of on track for US sites this H2. Similarly, you mentioned European progress. Last year, you talked about a clinical trial application over there, the European regulator to review that for the same thing for European sites. Just any update on whether you have submitted kind of a CTA for them to review.
Melissa Benson [Senior Emerging Companies Analyst: Morning, team. Thank you for taking questions. I just had two.

Speaker #7: So you had the successful June FDA meeting. We heard back there around part two. Have you now filed, I guess, the formality of the IND amendment paperwork?
Speaker #7: So it's kind of on track for US sites this half. And then similarly, you mentioned European progress last year. You talked about a clinical trial application over there, the European regulator to review that for the same thing for European sites.
Speaker #7: So, just any update on whether you've submitted kind of a CTA for them to review?
Speaker #3: Yeah, I can answer that very quickly. We had the review of the part one data from ProstACT GLOBAL, which was sort of treated as an end-of-part-one meeting rather than a pre–Phase 3 meeting.
Christian Behrenbruch: Yeah, I can answer it very quickly. The review of the part one data from ProstACT Global was treated as an end of part one meeting rather than a pre-phase III meeting. So we have one more engagement coming up with the FDA in a couple of weeks' time, and then we will be filing the IND on the back of that. That is just a standard process as we go into part two, just to finalize the full scope of the IND amendment that we plan to submit to the agency, and it is just courtesy to have that pre-submission meeting. So we consider that to be fairly much part and parcel from a regulator engagement perspective. Regarding the European submission, our priority really has been to get US patients into the study this year.
Christian Behrenbruch: Yeah, I can answer it very quickly. The review of the part one data from ProstACT Global was treated as an end of part one meeting rather than a pre-phase III meeting. So we have one more engagement coming up with the FDA in a couple of weeks' time, and then we will be filing the IND on the back of that. That is just a standard process as we go into part two, just to finalize the full scope of the IND amendment that we plan to submit to the agency, and it is just courtesy to have that pre-submission meeting.

Speaker #3: So, we have one more engagement coming up with the FDA in a couple of weeks' time, and then we'll be filing the IND on the back of that.
Speaker #3: That's just a standard process as we go into part two, just to finalize the full scope of the I&D amendment that we plan to submit to the agency.
Speaker #3: And it's just courtesy to have that pre-submission meeting. So we consider that to be very much part and parcel of regulator engagement from our perspective.
Speaker #3: Regarding the European submission, our priority really has been to get U.S. patients into the study this year. And once we’re over the hump with that on the U.S. side, then we’ll turn to a broader focus.
Christian Behrenbruch: Once we are over the hump with that on the US side, then we will turn to a broader focus. I do know we have European jurisdictions already in the study, UK, Turkey, but we will add some other European countries that are keen to be involved in the study once the FDA submission is in.
Christian Behrenbruch: Once we are over the hump with that on the US side, then we will turn to a broader focus. I do know we have European jurisdictions already in the study, UK, Turkey, but we will add some other European countries that are keen to be involved in the study once the FDA submission is in.
Speaker #3: I do know we have Eurosphere jurisdictions already in the study—UK and Turkey—but we'll add some other European countries that are keen to be involved in the study once the FDA submission is in.
Melissa Benson [Senior Emerging Companies Analyst: Great. Thank you.
Melissa Benson [Senior Emerging Companies Analyst: Great. Thank you.
Christian Behrenbruch: Do you have another question?
Christian Behrenbruch: Do you have another question?
Speaker #3: Do you have another question?
Speaker #7: I did have one other, and this is actually on revenue guidance. So, you've kind of maintained the $950 to $970 million range, but noted that you're on track for the top end.
Melissa Benson [Senior Emerging Companies Analyst: I did have one other, and this is actually on revenue guidance. You've kind of maintained the AUD 950 to AUD 970, but noted that you're on track for the top end. I guess the question just being like there was a lot of strength in Q2, particularly in the PSMA PET franchise, and if we infer that into H2, it suggests that you should already be You're definitely on track or be it above, and I think consensus is now sitting above. Is that conservatism on your end to kind of not upgrade and move the guidance range, or are you kind of factoring in anything in H2 or that we should be kind of aware of dynamically around seasonality or even like the Lantheus Truview launch?
Melissa Benson [Senior Emerging Companies Analyst: I did have one other, and this is actually on revenue guidance. You've kind of maintained the AUD 950 to AUD 970, but noted that you're on track for the top end. I guess the question just being like there was a lot of strength in Q2, particularly in the PSMA PET franchise, and if we infer that into H2, it suggests that you should already be You're definitely on track or be it above, and I think consensus is now sitting above.

Speaker #7: I guess the question just being, there was a lot of strength in the second quarter, particularly in the PSMA PET franchise. And if we infer that into the second half, it kind of suggests that you should already be — you're definitely on track or maybe even above.
Speaker #7: And I think consensus is now sitting above. So, is that conservatism on your end to kind of not upgrade and move the guidance range?
Speaker #7: Or are you kind of factoring in anything in the second half, or that we should be kind of aware of dynamically around seasonality, or even like the Lantheus TrueView launch?
Speaker #3: We've given guidance, and we're maintaining our guidance.
Christian Behrenbruch: We've given guidance and we're maintaining our guidance.
Christian Behrenbruch: We've given guidance and we're maintaining our guidance.
Speaker #7: Okay. Thanks.
Melissa Benson [Senior Emerging Companies Analyst: Okay, thanks.
Melissa Benson [Senior Emerging Companies Analyst: Okay, thanks.
Speaker #1: Thank you. Your next question comes from Dennis Hume from Taylor Collison. Please go ahead.
Operator 2: Thank you. Your next question comes from Dennis Hulme from Taylor Collison. Please go ahead.
Operator: Thank you. Your next question comes from Dennis Hulme from Taylor Collison. Please go ahead.
Speaker #6: Thank you. I’ve also got a question about bypass. If we assume the trial results are positive, two questions. Can you talk about the label claim that you expect to ask for in bypass?
Dennis Hulme: Thank you. More so, got a question about BiPASS. If we assume if the trial results are positive, two questions. Can you talk about the label claim that you expect to ask for BiPASS? Secondly, if it is approved, how do you see it being used? We saw in the PRIMARY2 trial that there is definitely a strong benefit in patients who have a PI-RADS score of 3 or less. Do you think that use is likely to be targeted in that patient population, at least initially, or do you see a scope that would be used more broadly, including in patients who have higher PI-RADS scores?
Dennis Hulme: Thank you. More so, got a question about BiPASS. If we assume if the trial results are positive, two questions. Can you talk about the label claim that you expect to ask for BiPASS? Secondly, if it is approved, how do you see it being used? We saw in the PRIMARY2 trial that there is definitely a strong benefit in patients who have a PI-RADS score of 3 or less. Do you think that use is likely to be targeted in that patient population, at least initially, or do you see a scope that would be used more broadly, including in patients who have higher PI-RADS scores?
Speaker #6: And secondly, if it is approved, how do you see it being used? We saw in the PRIMARY2 trial that there's definitely a strong benefit in patients who have a PI-RADS score of three or less.
Speaker #6: Do you think that's likely to be targeted in that patient population, at least initially? Or do you see a scope for it to be used more broadly, including in patients who have higher PI-RADS scores?
Speaker #3: Yeah, I'll let Dave comment on the clinical utility. We don't typically give label guidance until we've negotiated a label with a regulator. So but obviously the spirit of the the spirit of the study is to help guide decision-making around biopsy utilization.
Christian Behrenbruch: Yeah. I will let Dave comment on the clinical utility. We do not typically give label guidance until we have negotiated a label with a regulator. Obviously, the spirit of the study is to help guide decision-making around biopsy utilization. That will be the sort of context of the label. I think there is a lot of misunderstanding, and the goal of this study is really to make sure that the right patient gets a biopsy. It is not about eliminating tissue, it is not about taking away the value of pathology in cancer diagnosis, but it is really about making sure that that very large proportion of patients that do have a biopsy, the ones that are not going to benefit from it, the ones that come back with unequivocal or negative findings, that those are the ones that are not being subjected to a fairly unpleasant and expensive procedure.

I think there is a lot of misunderstanding, and the goal of this study is really to make sure that the right patient gets a biopsy.
Speaker #3: And so that will be the sort of context of the label. And I think there's a lot of misunderstanding. I mean, the goal of the study is really to make sure that the right patient gets a biopsy.
Speaker #3: It's not about eliminating tissue. It's not about taking away the value of pathology in cancer diagnosis, but it's really about making sure that, for that very large proportion of patients who do have a biopsy—the ones that aren't going to benefit from it, the ones that come back with unequivocal or negative findings—those are the ones that are not being subjected to a fairly unpleasant and expensive procedure.
Christian Behrenbruch: It is not about eliminating tissue, it is not about taking away the value of pathology in cancer diagnosis, but it is really about making sure that that very large proportion of patients that do have a biopsy, the ones that are not going to benefit from it, the ones that come back with unequivocal or negative findings, that those are the ones that are not being subjected to a fairly unpleasant and expensive procedure. And Dave, do you want to add anything in terms of the PI-RADS question?
Speaker #3: And Dave, do you want to add anything in terms of the PI-RADS question?
Christian Behrenbruch: And Dave, do you want to add anything in terms of the PI-RADS question?
Speaker #5: Yeah, I will. Yeah, thanks, Dennis. Good question. So, like I talked about earlier, regarding the agreement that we came to with the US FDA in terms of the design of the study and the patients who would be enrolled.
David Cade: Yeah, I will. Yeah, thanks, Dennis. Good question. Like I talked earlier about the agreement that we came to with the US FDA in terms of the design of the study and the patients who would be enrolled. So we agreed with the FDA that it would enroll PI-RADS 1, 2, 3, and 4, but not 5. PI-RADS is the 1 through 5 scoring system that a radiologist uses to score the MRI scan. So the PI-RADS 1 is not commonly seen in a 65-year-old man. A PI-RADS 1 is typically a younger adult male, 20s that has an absolutely normal prostate, and PI-RADS 5 is prostate cancer. What we did agree with the FDA was even though we don't need to enroll PI-RADS 5, the FDA would consider the totality of the data and would consider that it covers all of those PI-RADS scores.
David Cade: Yeah, I will. Yeah, thanks, Dennis. Good question. Like I talked earlier about the agreement that we came to with the US FDA in terms of the design of the study and the patients who would be enrolled. So we agreed with the FDA that it would enroll PI-RADS 1, 2, 3, and 4, but not 5. PI-RADS is the 1 through 5 scoring system that a radiologist uses to score the MRI scan.

What we did agree with the FDA was even though we don't need to enroll PI-RADS 5, the FDA would consider the totality of the data and would consider that it covers all of those PI-RADS scores.
Speaker #5: So we agreed with the FDA that it would enroll PI-RADS 1, 2, 3, and 4, but not 5. PI-RADS is the 1 through 5 scoring system.
Speaker #5: That's a radiologist uses to score the MRI scan. So PI-RADS 1 is not commonly seen, and in a 65-year-old man, a PI-RADS 1 is typically a younger adult male, you know, 20s, that has an absolutely normal prostate.
Speaker #5: And PI-RADS 5 is prostate cancer. Now, what we did agree with the FDA was, even though we don't need to enroll PI-RADS 5, you know, the FDA would consider the totality of the data and would consider that it covers all of those PI-RADS scores.
Speaker #5: But just at a high level, what the study is going to enable in terms of clinical implementation post-approval is the objective of halving the number of prostate biopsies that need to be done.
David Cade: But just at a high level, what the study is going to enable in terms of clinical implementation post-approval is the objective of halving the number of prostate biopsies that need to be done or that are required to be done. So halving the number of biopsies while not
David Cade: But just at a high level, what the study is going to enable in terms of clinical implementation post-approval is the objective of halving the number of prostate biopsies that need to be done or that are required to be done. So halving the number of biopsies while not
Speaker #5: Or that are required to be done. So, halving the number of biopsies, while not missing patients with clinically significant prostate cancer that then need to have a biopsy done.
Christian Behrenbruch: missing patients with clinically significant prostate cancer that then need to have a biopsy done. So obviating the need for biopsy in half the population of patients that currently get biopsy. And then in the patients that do require biopsy, taking it from a template biopsy, which is between 12 and 20 needles placed transperineally through a very sensitive piece of real estate, to one targeted biopsy. So we say none and done, obviating the need for a biopsy in half the population that today would get biopsy, or one and done, shifting template to a single targeted image-guided biopsy. That's the purpose of BiPASS. And in doing so, we believe that there'll be very significant clinical uptake, that it will become standard that PSMA PET scan is done as well as an MRI scan before anyone has a biopsy. That help, Dennis?

Speaker #5: So, obviating the need for biopsy in half the population of patients that currently get biopsy. And then, in the patients that do require biopsy, taking it from a template biopsy—which is between 12 and 20 needles, placed, you know, transperineally, through a very sensitive piece of real estate.
Speaker #5: To one targeted biopsy. So, we say "none and done," you know—obviating the need for a biopsy in half the population that today would get a biopsy.
Speaker #5: Or, one and done—shifting the template to a single, targeted, image-guided biopsy. That's the purpose of BY-PASS. And in doing so, we believe that there will be very significant clinical uptake, and that it will become standard for a PSMA PET scan to be done as well as an MRI scan before anyone has a biopsy.
Speaker #5: That help, Dennis?
Speaker #6: Yes, thank you. That's very helpful. And if I can ask just quickly on TLX597: can you just talk about what you think the next step will be for 597 after the optimal PSMA and optimal E trials?
Dennis Hulme: Yes, thank you. That is very helpful. If I can ask just quickly on TLX597, can you just talk about what you think the next step will be for 597 after the OPTIMAL-PSMA and OPTIMAL-e trials?
Dennis Hulme: Yes, thank you. That is very helpful. If I can ask just quickly on TLX597, can you just talk about what you think the next step will be for 597 after the OPTIMAL-PSMA and OPTIMAL-e trials?
Speaker #3: Yeah, we're waiting for really the first chunk of data to read out. I mean, our priority right now from a prostate trial perspective is clearly to complete the recruitment of 591.
Christian Behrenbruch: Yeah, we are waiting for really the first chunk of data to read out. Our priority right now from a prostate trial perspective is clearly to complete the recruitment of 591. It is our major program and our flagship program. So we have got some data to read out from the first phase II trial, and we are really looking forward to reading that data out. Then once we have got that in hand, that will be the catalyst to inform the market about what our plans are longer term for that asset.
