Garching, Germany, June 3, 2011. ITG Isotope Technologies Garching GmbH (ITG), a specialist in the development and production of innovative radioisotopes, and Sydney-based, Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) have agreed on a broad, long-term collaboration on radioisotopes.

ANSTO has in-licensed the production technology for ITG´s carrier free Lutetium-177 (Lu-177 n.c.a.) and will be the exclusive distribution partner for ITG´s products in Australia & New Zealand.

Both partners have agreed to provide each other with a backup supply of the radioisotope when needed as well as forming a collaboration for the supply of Lu-177 n.c.a. to industrial partners in the life science industry. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Dr. Richard Henkelmann and Dr. Andreas Hey, Managing Directors of ITG, stated “This agreement is a significant milestone in the corporate development of our company and serves as proof of the value of our production technology for Lu-177 n.c.a. It sends a strong signal to those companies developing Lutetium-177-based radiotherapies that global supply is guaranteed. Furthermore, adding ANSTO to our existing network of world-wide distribution partners closes an important geographical gap“.

Mr Doug Cubbin, Head of ANSTO’s Business Development and Commercialisation said “This is a great opportunity for ANSTO and the Asia Pacific region as it will accelerate the availability of locally produced Lu-177 within the region and the collaboration between ANSTO and ITG will underpin the future supply of an important radioisotope“.

About ITG: ITG Isotope Technologies Garching GmbH, a subsidiary of ITM Isotopen Technologien München AG (www.itm.ag), develops, manufactures and distributes world-wide innovative radio-isotopes for use in diagnosis and therapy.

About ANSTO: The Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation produces radioisotopes, isotopic techniques and nuclear radiation for medicine, science, industry, commerce and agriculture as one of its core functions. For more please visit: www.ansto.gov.au

Ascenion has mediated a license agreement between the Helmholtz Zentrum München and ITM Isotopen Technologien München AG providing the company with exclusive rights to monoclonal antibodies targeting mutant forms of E-cadherin. These forms, D8- and D9-cadherin, are only present on certain gastric cancer cells, but not on healthy tissues. ITM, a leading developer of radioisotope therapies and integrated application systems, plans to conjugate the antibodies to certain radioisotopes (Alpha- and Betaemitting) and develop them for specific gastric cancer treatment. The Helmholtz Zentrum München receives license fees and is eligible to royalties on potential sales.

The Technical University of Munich’s Central Institute for Medical Technologies (IMETUM) and the ITM Group have initiated a collaborative scientific program “BetaTop” with the objective to study and explore the therapeutic effects and healing mechanism of Beta Radiation (i.e. Rhenium-188) in the treatment of Skin Cancer and Re-Stenosis Therapy in endovascular treatments.

The Program is intended to address the macroscopic, microscopic and cellular aspects of Beta-Emitter and Topical Therapies and will be performed in collaboration with a group of leading medical and scientific institutions involved in the development of Epidermal Radioisotope Therapy and Endovascular Therapy.

Dr. Tuomo Nikula, Director of Technology Development of the ITM Group, has been appointed as Program Manager for the "BetaTop" program.
