[225Ac]-FPI-1434 is a radioimmunoconjugate consisting of a humanized monoclonal antibody (AVE1642) that binds to the external domain of IGF-1R, a proprietary bifunctional chelate, and the alpha-emitting radionuclide actinium-225 (Ac-225). Internalization of the radioimmunoconjugate and decay of Ac-225 causes tumor cell death primarily through double stranded DNA breaks. The indium-111 analog, [111In]-FPI-1547, with the identical antibody and bifunctional chelate is used for patient selection and quantification of IGF-1R expressing targets prior to therapy. Based on anti-tumor activity of [225Ac]-FPI-1434 in non-clinical models, favorable toxicology studies in cynomolgus monkeys, and prior human experience with the unconjugated antibody, the first-in-human trial was initiated. Inclusion: • Age ≥18 years old • Pathologically documented, definitively diagnosed, advanced solid tumor that is refractory to all standard treatment, for which no standard treatment is available • At least 1 measurable lesion (≥20 mm in largest diameter [≥20 mm in shortest diameter if lymph node]) • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance status of 0 or 1 • Life expectancy equal to or greater than 3 months as judged by the treating physician • Available tumor tissue (either archival or fresh biopsy) for IGF-1R immunohistochemistry • Adequate bone marrow reserves without the use of hematopoietic growth factors, red cell or platelet transfusion • Adequate renal function as evidenced by a creatinine clearance ≥60 mL/min using the Cockcroft-Gault Equation • Adequate hepatic function • Sufficient target expression in at least one tumor lesion following the [111In]-FPI-1547 Injection • Dosimetry estimate of the planned [225Ac]-FPI-1434 Injection does not exceed predetermined limits for kidney, liver and lungs Key Eligibility Criteria Study Status  Study FPX-01-01 (NCT03746431)  Open-label, multi-center phase I study of a single injection of Ac-225 radioimmunotherapy conjugate (option for a second dose if clinical benefit)  Modified 3+3 dose-escalation (5 dose cohorts)  Followed by an 8-week DLT evaluation period. Currently enrolling patients at the following locations: • Juravinski Cancer Center (Hamilton Health Sciences) – Hamilton, Ontario • Quebec Hospital/Laval – Quebec City, Quebec • Universite de Montreal (CHUM) – Montréal, Québec Figure 1.
