PROJECT SUMMARY:
|
Cellectar, Inc. is a Wisconsin C-Corporation founded as a Limited Liability Company in June 2000 and reorganized as a corporation in January 2008. The company is a radiopharmaceutical company that designs and develops products to detect, treat, and monitor a wide variety of human cancers. The company’s lead therapy molecule, CLR1404, is in Phase 1 clinical dosimetry trials. The intent of the business is to progress the lead molecule on parallel tracks in both therapy and imaging of malignancy. The company anticipates initiating Phase 1 Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) trials in Q2 2010. Xxxxx 0 clinical trials will follow in late 2010.
Radiopharmaceuticals are particularly difficult to manufacture to GMP standards as radiation safety for manufacturing personnel adds a significant level of complexity to the production of a sterile, injectable, single dose drug product. Therefore, Cellectar has developed a 16,100 square foot in-house GMP-validated radiopharmaceutical manufacturing facility consisting of offices, laboratories and radiopharmaceutical research “hot lab”, a GMP radiopharmaceutical manufacturing suite and GMP analytical laboratories for product release. This custom-designed facility gives Cellectar the ability to be completely independent in its radiopharmaceutical research, development and manufacturing. The facility has sufficient capacity to deliver all drug products needed through an extensive phase 2 trial.
Cellectar is seeking to close a $30-40 million fund raising effort in 2010. It is anticipated that the funding round will take the company through the next 5 years of development including phase 2 clinical trials for Small Cell Lung Cancer and Triple Negative Brest Cancer. Following phase 2 trials the company will then pursue an exit strategy.
In the interim Cellectar is raising $2.7 million from a bridge venture debt round (convertible debt) and is seeking an additional $450,000 from the Department in order to complete Phase I trials and conduct preclinical studies prior to the closing of their next funding round.
