The assignment of the code is a significant milestone supporting provider billing and reimbursement for Gozellix, and a further step toward receiving\u00a0Transitional Pass-Through (TPT) payment status.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">After radiolabelling with <sup>68<\/sup>Ga, Gozellix is indicated for PET scanning of PSMA positive lesions in men with prostate cancer who have suspected metastasis and are candidates for initial definitive therapy, and those with suspected biochemical recurrence (BCR) based on elevated serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level.<sup>3<\/sup> With its\u00a0extended shelf-life and flexible production options, Gozellix overcomes many of the logistical barriers that have historically limited access to PSMA-PET imaging. Telix believes receiving a HCPCS code will support clinical adoption of Gozellix and expanded access to PSMA PET imaging.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Kevin Richardson, Chief Executive Officer, Precision Medicine, Telix, said, \u201cBeing granted a HCPCS code marks a significant step forward in Telix\u2019s mission to improve access to precision medicine imaging for prostate cancer patients across the United States, regardless of their location. It is also an important enabler for commercial scale-up and reimbursement of Gozellix in the U.S. as we bring our next-generation PSMA PET imaging agent to market.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><strong>About <\/strong><strong>Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited <\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Telix is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of therapeutic and diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals and associated medical technologies.

A negative image does not rule out the presence of prostate cancer, and a positive image does not confirm the presence of prostate cancer. Gallium Ga-68 gozetotide uptake is not specific for prostate cancer and may occur with other types of cancer as well as non-malignant processes such as Paget\u2019s disease, fibrous dysplasia, and osteophytosis. Clinical correlation, which may include histopathological evaluation of the suspected prostate cancer site, is recommended.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><u>Imaging Prior to Initial Definitive or Suspected Recurrence Therapy<\/u><br \/>The performance of Gozellix for imaging of biochemically recurrent prostate cancer seems to be affected by serum PSA levels and by site of disease. The performance of Gozellix for imaging of metastatic pelvic lymph nodes prior to initial definitive therapy seems to be affected by Gleason score.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><u>Radiation Risks<\/u><br \/>Gallium Ga-68 gozetotide contributes to a patient\u2019s overall long-term cumulative radiation exposure. Long-term cumulative radiation exposure is associated with an increased risk for cancer. Ensure safe handling to minimize radiation exposure to the patient and healthcare providers. Advise patients to hydrate before and after administration and to void frequently after administration.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><u>Hypersensitivity Reactions <\/u><br \/>Monitor patients for hypersensitivity reactions, particularly patients with a history of allergy to other drugs and foods. Reactions may be delayed. Always have trained staff and resuscitation equipment available.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><strong>ADVERSE REACTIONS<\/strong><br \/>The safety of gallium Ga-68 gozetotide was evaluated in 960 patients in the PSMA-PreRP and PSMABCR studies, each receiving one dose of gallium Ga-68 gozetotide. The average injected activity was 188.7 \u00b1 40.7 MBq (5.1 \u00b1 1.1 mCi). The most commonly reported adverse reactions were nausea, diarrhea, and dizziness, occurring at a rate of &lt;1%.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><strong>DRUG INTERACTIONS<\/strong><br \/>Androgen deprivation therapy and other therapies targeting the androgen pathway Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and other therapies targeting the androgen pathway, such as androgen receptor antagonists, can result in changes in uptake of gallium Ga-68 gozetotide in prostate cancer. The effect of these therapies on performance of gallium Ga-68 gozetotide PET has not been established.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><strong>Please note that this information summary is not comprehensive.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><strong>Please see the Full Prescribing Information <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=Zf-wTEDqRNSj0RLMaA4Y6HfPw3JBxSbGPg35aA0uOvosG9PJt603vQ__l_mlyC5PlWrkj79JEpbzXE3ma-nhgDMFotAO3xpcxh_3Q4dS29uMiATnai2B9kZMIrBDx0yf4d1WaoXQIiF7Yv5ATyusC7dB75rKQ4WHpvp9lc1BvDM=\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a><strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">You are encouraged to report suspected adverse reactions of prescription drugs to the FDA.
