About [212Pb]VMT-α-NET
Perspective designed [212Pb]VMT-α-NET to target and deliver 212Pb to tumor sites expressing SSTR2. The Company is conducting a multi-center, open-label, dose-escalation, dose-expansion study (clinicaltrials.gov identifier ) of [212Pb]VMT-α-NET in patients with unresectable or metastatic SSTR2-positive neuroendocrine tumors who have not received prior radiopharmaceutical therapies (RPT). Updated interim data from the study, as of a data-cut off (DCO) date of September 12, 2025, were presented at the European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress 2025, the 2025 North American Neuroendocrine Tumor Society (NANETS) Multidisciplinary NET Medical Symposium, and the AACR-NCI-EORTC International Conference on Molecular Targets and Cancer Therapeutics.
As of that DCO, safety findings based on 55 patients who had received at least one treatment showed [²¹²Pb]VMT-α-NET continued to demonstrate a favorable safety profile, with no dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), treatment-related discontinuations, or Grade 4 or 5 treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) reported.
Anti-tumor activity based on all patients in Cohort 1 and half of the patients enrolled in Cohort 2 as of the DCO:
- Of these 25 patients, 20 (80%) remained progression-free. Eight patients had achieved confirmed responses per investigator-assessed RECIST v1.1, all of which occurred in Cohort 2.
- All 23 patients in Cohort 2 had at least one tumor expressing SSTR2, and 16 showed SSTR2 expression in all of their tumors.
- Among the 16 patients with SSTR2 expression in all of their tumors, seven (44%) achieved confirmed responses, and 14 (87.5%) remained progression-free and on study, with a median follow-up of 41 weeks.
About Perspective Therapeutics, Inc.

The Company has proprietary technology that utilizes the alpha-emitting isotope 212Pb to deliver powerful radiation specifically to cancer cells via specialized targeting moieties. The Company is also developing complementary imaging diagnostics that incorporate the same targeting moieties, which provides 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.
The Company's melanoma (VMT01), neuroendocrine tumor (VMT-α-NET) and solid tumor (PSV359) programs are in Phase 1/2a imaging and therapy trials in the U.S. The Company is growing its regional network of drug product candidate finishing facilities, enabled by its proprietary 212Pb generator, to deliver patient-ready product candidates for clinical trials and commercial operations.
