Life Molecular Imaging – Neuraceq Supply Agreement

IXICO plc (AIM: IXI), the medical imaging advanced analytics company delivering intelligent insights in neuroscience, today provides information on its agreement with Life Molecular Imaging (LMI) for the supply of LMI's Neuraceq® Amyloid PET tracer (Florbetaben-18F) for use in pharma-sponsored clinical trials. Neuraceq® is a diagnostic agent that improves early detection and characterization of chronic and life-threatening diseases such as Alzheimer's, leading to better therapeutic outcomes and improved quality of life.

As a result of its agreement with LMI, IXICO is able to further extend its service offering to providing Neuraceq® PET tracer supply to complement IXICO's well-established PET imaging services and image data analytics. LMI's provision of tracer supply to imaging centres together with IXICO's oversight of imaging will minimise the operational burden to trial sponsors and will improve patient experience, ultimately driving study eligibility and efficacy endpoint delivery.

Andrew Stephens, Chief Medical Officer of Life Molecular Imaging, commented:

''We are pleased to be partnering with IXICO to further strengthen access to Neuraceq® to clinical trials. We hope that our partnership will offer Sponsors an additional streamlined route to tracer supply.''

Giulio Cerroni, Chief Executive Officer of IXICO, commented:

''IXICO is committed to the continuous development of our suite of AI enabled analytics and reader services for innovative new PET tracers and so we are delighted to be partnering with LMI to improve access and supply to LMI's Neuraceq. We anticipate that the extension of this Neuraceq tracer co-ordination service from IXICO will be very well received by our global biopharmaceutical Sponsors."
