Convergent now has approval to begin human trials using CONV 01-α and PSMA I&T in a dual therapy, which are anticipated to begin in February of 2021. In these trials, Convergent will test PSMA I&T containing either 177Lu, a beta particle emitter, or 225Ac, the same alpha emitter in CONV 01-α. Convergent has approval to perform the three human trials listed below for this dual therapy, anticipated to begin in February of 2021:

a Phase 1b/2a with the combination of CONV 01-α and PSMA I&T-β;
a Phase 2b with the combination of PSMA I&T-β ± CONV 01-α, and

a Phase 1b/2a with PSMA I&T-α ± CONV 01-α (i.e., both drugs with 225Ac, the α-particle emitter).
Another company is currently studying PSMA I&T-β, containing 177Lu, and has just completed a phase 3 trial in prostate cancer. Separately, Novartis is pursuing FDA approval for another 177Lu-small molecule drug for prostate cancer treatment, designated 177Lu-PSMA-617, which also binds PSMA. Novartis has recently completed a phase 3 registration trial for treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), a form of advanced prostate cancer. Like PSMA I&T-β, Novartis's 177Lu-PSMA-617 may also be a promising candidate for use with CONV 01-α in the proprietary dual PRRT therapy.

Anthony Hayes, CEO of Aikido, stated, "This is by far the most advanced technology in which the Company has participated. The first of the human trials is wrapping up, with data to be reported shortly, and with the remaining trials either underway or scheduled to begin imminently. Participation in this advanced work represents a major and potentially transformative step for the Company and we are honored to be a part of it. I optimistically anticipate the first of the results to be released next quarter. We will update our shareholders as soon as the data is released."
