RayzeBio, Inc.

General Information
Business:

We are building a vertically integrated radiopharmaceutical therapeutics company with our lead drug candidate, RYZ101, in a Phase 3 clinical trial. (Incorporated in Delaware)

Much like antibody drug conjugates emerged as a new and transformative treatment modality in certain cancers, we see an opportunity for innovative radiopharmaceutical therapeutics to follow a similar path. 

We are initially focused on building a market-leading somatostatin receptor type 2, or SSTR2, franchise. As multiple diagnostic and therapeutic commercial products targeting SSTR2 are available, it is a clinically validated target that is expressed in multiple solid tumors.

Our lead drug candidate, RYZ101, is designed to deliver a highly potent alpha particle radioisotope, Actinium 225, or Ac225, to tumors overexpressing SSTR2. RYZ101 consists of DOTATATE, a peptide binder, and a chelator, bound to Ac225. The FDA has approved the use of DOTATATE as the peptide binder for SSTR2 diagnostic imaging and therapeutic agents. We believe that a radiopharmaceutical therapeutic (RPT) using Ac225 has the potential to provide greater efficacy over approved beta particle radioisotope Lutetium 177, or Lu177, therapies. Alpha particles deliver up to 400 times higher energy than beta particles – leading to double-stranded DNA breaks that are lethal to cancer cells.

We are enrolling patients in a registrational Phase 3 clinical trial of RYZ101 to treat gasteroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, or GEP-NETs. Our clinical trial enrollees are patients who have experienced progression of their cancer after Lu177 therapy.

We also have an ongoing Phase 1b clinical trial for patients with extensive stage small cell lung cancer, or ES-SCLC. 

Complementing RYZ101 is our development program targeting Glypican-3, or GPC3, for hepatocellular carcinoma, or HCC, as well as our ongoing discovery efforts.
