Chinese NMPA Accepts New Drug Application for Illuccix for Prostate Cancer Imaging

MELBOURNE, Australia and INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited (ASX: TLX, NASDAQ: TLX, "Telix") today announces that the Chinese National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) Center for Drug Evaluation (CDE) has accepted the filing of a New Drug Application (NDA) for TLX591-Px (Illuccix®, Kit for the preparation of 68Ga-PSMA-11), Telix's lead prostate cancer imaging agent.

The NDA was submitted with Telix's strategic partner for the Greater China region, Grand Pharmaceutical Group Limited (00512.HK, Grand Pharma). Seeking a broad label that reflects clinical utility at multiple stages of prostate cancer care, the submission includes data from the Illuccix China Pivotal Phase 3 Registration study[1], which reported positive top-line results in December 2025[2].

The Illuccix China study met its primary endpoint, with an overall patient-level positive predictive value (PPV) of 94.8% for the detection of tumors in patients with biochemical recurrence (BCR) of prostate cancer with TLX591-Px[2],[3]. This confirmed that the clinical experience of TLX591-Px PSMA-PET[4] imaging in Chinese patients is comparable to studies in non-Chinese patients. The high PPV was demonstrated even in patients with very low PSA[5] values, and across differing metastatic locations. More than two-thirds (67.2%) of patients experienced a change in their treatment plan as a consequence of TLX591-Px PSMA-PET imaging compared with the initial plan at baseline[3], demonstrating a major impact on clinical decision-making in Chinese patients.

Kevin Richardson, Chief Executive Officer, Precision Medicine, Telix, commented, "Submitting this New Drug Application for TLX591-Px, the first for any of our products in China, is a major milestone for Telix and our partner Grand Pharma. Geographic expansion is core to the growth strategy for our precision medicine business, and China represents a strategically important market for Telix. We look forward to progressing regulatory approvals together with Grand Pharma and subject to NMPA approval, bringing our lead commercial imaging product to market in China to serve the needs of men living with prostate cancer."

About Prostate Cancer in China

In China, more than 134,000 men were diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2022[6], increasing by approximately 6% each year[7]. In line with government policy supporting wider geographic access to nuclear medicine, the number of PET/CT cameras installed in China is expected to have surpassed 1,600 at the end of 2025[8], compared with 133 in 2010[9].

About Illuccix

Telix's lead prostate imaging product, gallium-68 (68Ga) gozetotide injection (also known as 68Ga PSMA-11 and marketed under the brand name Illuccix®), has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)[10], by the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA)[11], by Health Canada[12], by the Brazilian Health Regulatory Agency (ANVISA)[13], by the United Kingdom (UK) Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA)[14] and in 19 countries within the European Economic Area (EEA).

PSMA-PET imaging represents a significant advance in prostate cancer management, largely replacing conventional imaging methods such as bone scans and computed tomography (CT) scans as the standard of care after initial diagnosis and biochemical recurrence (BCR) in the United States. Global guidelines recognize its superior accuracy in staging primary disease and assessing BCR[15].
