Pentixapharm Advances Regulatory Preparations for Phase 3 PANDA Study with Radiodiagnostic Candidate 68Ga-PentixaFor in Hypertension

 

  • FDA scientific advice meeting provides guidance on planned Phase 3 study of radiodiagnostic lead candidate in treatment-resistant hypertension / primary aldosteronism
  • Further details on Phase 3 clinical setup expected upon receipt of the FDA’s official meeting minutes

 

Berlin, Germany, December 03, 2025 – Pentixapharm Holding AG (Frankfurt Prime Standard: PTP), a clinical-stage biotech developing first-in-class radiopharmaceuticals, has received encouraging feedback from a TypeB pre‑IND meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The discussion addressed key elements of Pentixapharm’s planned Phase 3 PANDA study with [68Ga]Ga-PentixaFor, a CXCR4-directed radiodiagnostic intended to significantly improve the diagnostic pathway for patients with treatment-resistant hypertension and primary aldosteronism. Despite its substantial clinical and societal impact, primary aldosteronism remains widely underdiagnosed, and earlier, more accurate detection represents a significant unmet medical need.

During the meeting, the FDA provided initial, non-binding feedback on key components of Pentixapharm’s draft Phase 3 clinical protocol, including proposed inclusion criteria and design as well as statistical parameters. The FDA’s input is considered essential for the Phase 3 study to meet effectiveness and shaping the final Investigational New Drug (IND) submission.

“We appreciate the constructive dialogue with the FDA and the opportunity to align on technical details and clarify outstanding questions,” said Dr. Dirk Pleimes, CEO and CMO of Pentixapharm. “The preliminary feedback supports our plan to advance [68Ga]Ga-PentixaFor into Phase 3 and provides an important step toward bringing a potentially scalable and non-invasive diagnostic tool to patients with primary aldosteronism who currently lack reliable, non-invasive options. Once we have received and reviewed the formal FDA meeting minutes, we will refine our Phase 3 study design accordingly and continue to update the market as we progress along our IND strategy.”

  

About 68Ga-PentixaFor in treatment-resistant hypertension and primary aldosteronism

[68Ga]Ga-PentixaFor is a novel gallium-68-labeled radiodiagnostic designed to selectively target and visualize the chemokine receptor CXCR4 using high-resolution PET/CT imaging. Clinical experience with [⁶⁸Ga]Ga-PentixaFor PET/CT in approximately 1,600 patients across different indications has demonstrated its ability to non-invasively image CXCR4 expression in vivo.

Recent research has shown strong CXCR4 overexpression in aldosterone-producing adrenal tumors, a hallmark of unilateral primary aldosteronism. Primary aldosteronism is a common but historically underdiagnosed cause of secondary hypertension, largely because reliably distinguishing unilateral from bilateral disease remains challenging with current diagnostic tools. Unilateral disease is typically treated by surgical removal of the affected adrenal gland whereas bilateral disease requires life-long medical therapy. By visualizing CXCR4 expression in aldosterone-producing tissue, [⁶⁸Ga]Ga-PentixaFor has the potential to support more reliable subtyping of primary aldosteronism and thereby better guide appropriate treatment decisions.

 

About Pentixapharm

Pentixapharm is an advanced clinical-stage biotech expanding the boundaries of radiopharmaceuticals. Headquartered in Berlin, Germany, the company develops precision diagnostics and therapeutics in oncology and cardiology to transform patient care. Its clinical pipeline is anchored by CXCR4-targeted PET-CT programs, including a Phase 3-ready candidate for the improved diagnosis of hypertensive patients with primary aldosteronism, which is intended to enable targeted treatment of the underlying causes of hypertension. CXCR4-based developments also include pioneering therapeutic programs in hematological cancers. Furthermore, Pentixapharm is advancing a next-generation antibody platform targeting CD24, an emerging immune-checkpoint marker over-expressed in multiple hard-to-treat cancers. Complemented by CXCR4 and CD24 intellectual property protection and a reliable isotope supply chain, Pentixapharm is poised to deliver meaningful patient benefit and sustainable growth in one of the fastest-growing areas of precision medicine.

Sandoz launches denosumab biosimilars in Europe, providing affordable treatment option for cancer-related bone disease and osteoporosis for millions of patients

  • Wyost® (denosumab 120 mg) / Jubbonti® (denosumab 60 mg) approved to treat cancer-related bone disease / osteoporosis across all indications of reference medicines
  • Next milestone in Sandoz growth strategy; builds on 2025 launches of Wyost® (denosumab) / Jubbonti® (denosumab) and Tyruko® (natalizumab) in US and Afqlir® (aflibercept) in Europe
  • Builds on established position in oncology and immunology
  • Reinforces Sandoz commitment to helping patients access critical and potentially life-changing biologic medicines through leading global portfolio and pipeline 

Basel, December 1, 2025Sandoz (SIX:SDZ/OTCQX:SDZNY), the global leader in affordable medicines, today announced the European launch of Wyost® (denosumab 120 mg) and Jubbonti® (denosumab 60 mg). The medicines are among the first denosumab biosimilars to launch in Europe and are approved by the European Commission to treat all indications of the reference medicines, Xgeva®* (denosumab 120 mg) and Prolia®* (denosumab 60 mg)1,2. Wyost® is approved for the treatment of cancer-related bone disease1 and Jubbonti® is approved to treat osteoporosis2.

 

Wyost® and Jubbonti® represent key value drivers for Sandoz and the European launch marks the next major step in advancing the company’s growth strategy. It builds on other key biosimilar launches this year including Wyost® and Jubbonti® in the US and the recent launches of Tyruko® (natalizumab) in the US and Afqlir® (aflibercept) in Europe.

 

Christophe Delenta, President Europe, Sandoz, said: “We know that primary and secondary bone loss, and cancer-related bone events, place a significant burden on millions of patients and their families, as well as on European healthcare systems. That’s why the launch of these denosumab biosimilars is such an important milestone, expanding access to these potentially life-changing medicines and reinforcing our commitment to delivering sustainable treatment options for patients.”

 

Close to one quarter (4.14 million)3 of all newly reported cancer cases globally occur in Europe and cancer remains a leading cause of premature death for people aged 30-69 years in most European countries4Nearly all types of cancer can spread to the bone and cause pain and fractures, but cancers that often metastasize there include breast, lung and prostate5.

 

According to the latest figures, 32 million people in Europe over 50 years old are estimated to live with osteoporosis, with the number of fractures per year set to increase by almost 25% by 20346. Only a minority of patients at high risk currently receive treatment, even after their first fracture7.

 

Wyost® and Jubbonti® will be launched across Europe today, with additional rollouts to follow throughout 2026. This launch builds on the continuing Sandoz leadership and pioneering legacy in biosimilars, dating back to the introduction of the first biosimilar in 2006. It further expands the company’s presence in a global reference-medicine market worth a combined ~USD 6.6 billion8 and reinforces its established position in oncology and immunology.  

 

Sandoz is committed to helping millions of patients access critical and potentially life-changing biologic medicines sustainably and affordably, with a leading global portfolio comprising 13 biosimilars and a further 27 assets in various stages of development.

ABOUT WYOST® (DENONSUMAB) AND JUBBONTI® (DENOSUMAB)

Wyost® (denosumab 120 mg) and Jubbonti® (denosumab 60 mg) have been developed as biosimilars to the reference medicines Xgeva and Prolia, respectively1,2. Both medicines contain the same active ingredient (denosumab), a human monoclonal antibody (IgG2) that targets and binds with high affinity and specificity to RANKL, preventing activation of its receptor, RANK, on the surface of osteoclast precursors and osteoclasts. Prevention of the RANKL/RANK interaction inhibits osteoclast formation, function and survival, thereby decreasing bone resorption in cortical and trabecular bone.

 

Wyost® is indicated in Europe to prevent skeletal related events (SREs; pathological fracture, radiation to bone, spinal cord compression or surgery to bone) in adults with advanced malignancies involving bone, and to treat adults and skeletally mature adolescents with a giant cell tumor of bone that is unresectable or where surgical resection is likely to result in severe morbidity1.

 

Jubbonti® is indicated in Europe to treat osteoporosis in postmenopausal women and in men at increased risk of fractures, bone loss associated with hormone ablation in men with prostate cancer at increased risk of fractures and bone loss associated with long-term systemic glucocorticoid therapy in adult patients at increased risk of fracture2.

Xlife Sciences AG Provides Update on VERAXA Biotech AG’s NASDAQ Listing Process Following U.S. Government Shutdown

Following a 43-day U.S. government shutdown, during which the SEC was also affected, the SEC has now responded to VERAXA’s Form F-4 filing submitted at the end of October. The SEC was unable to respond to VERAXA’s Form F-4 during this time. Subsequently, the SEC responded and VERAXA has filed an amendment to the Form F-4 on November 28, marking another important step forward in the planned business combination with Voyager Acquisition Corp. and VERAXA’s intended listing on NASDAQ.

The date of VERAXA’s extraordinary general meeting (EGM), which will address the required shareholder approvals of VERAXA for the business combination, is expected to be scheduled in December 2025. Based on the current timeline and assuming customary regulatory progression, Xlife Sciences expects VERAXA Biotech AG to complete its NASDAQ listing in the first quarter of 2026.

Oliver R. Baumann, CEO of Xlife Sciences AG, commented: «We are pleased to see the SEC process advancing swiftly despite the prolonged shutdown. We remain confident in the transaction timeline and in VERAXA’s trajectory toward becoming a NASDAQ-listed leader in next-generation oncology therapeutics.»

Further details, including an investor presentation and documentation related to the proposed transaction, are available via the SEC’s EDGAR system at www.sec.gov.

From January to September 2025, the Group’s healthcare facilities treated a total of 2,915,971 patients (9M 2024: 2,742,439) – an increase of roughly 6.3% over the previous year. While moderate growth in patient numbers was observed in the inpatient area, the overall trend was mainly driven by growth in the outpatient area.

 

Consolidated revenue totalled EUR 4,770.1 million (9M 2024: EUR 4,350.8 million) in the first nine months, which is an increase of 9.6%. Consolidated net income after tax (EAT) for the period increased to EUR 114.5 million (9M 2024: EUR 88.2 million). Total investments over the reporting period were EUR 302.8 million (9M 2024: EUR 232.4 million).

 

On 29 October 2025, the Asklepios Group successfully placed a Social Schuldschein loan in the amount of EUR 600.0million. It was issued under the Social Finance Framework for early refinancing of maturities for the years 2025 to 2027 and was subscribed by both existing and international investors. With maturities of 3, 5, 7 and 10 years as well as a 52% share of international investors, the capital base was further diversified.

 

Hafid Rifi, CFO of the Asklepios Group, noted:

“The new Social Schuldschein loan allows us to further develop the strategy of our finance portfolio and to actively manage our maturities. What is especially encouraging is the strong interest shown by international investors, clearly underscoring the trust in our sustainable course.“

About Immunic, Inc.

Immunic, Inc. (Nasdaq: IMUX) is a late-stage biotechnology company pioneering the development of novel oral therapies for neurologic and gastrointestinal diseases. The company’s lead development program, vidofludimus calcium (IMU-838), is currently in phase 3 clinical trials for the treatment of relapsing multiple sclerosis, for which top-line data is expected to be available by the end of 2026. It has already shown therapeutic activity in phase 2 clinical trials in patients suffering from relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis and progressive multiple sclerosis. Vidofludimus calcium combines neuroprotective effects, through its mechanism as a first-in-class nuclear receptor related 1 (Nurr1) activator, with additional anti-inflammatory and anti-viral effects, by selectively inhibiting the enzyme dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH). IMU-856, which targets the protein Sirtuin 6 (SIRT6), is intended to restore intestinal barrier function and regenerate bowel epithelium, which could potentially be applicable in numerous gastrointestinal diseases, such as celiac disease as well as inflammatory bowel disease, Graft-versus-Host-Disease and weight management. IMU-381, which currently is in preclinical testing, is a next generation molecule being developed to specifically address the needs of gastrointestinal diseases.
