Title: Long Term Follow-up of a Pivotal Phase 2 Study of Ultratrace^® Iobenguane I-131 (Azedra) in Patients with Malignant Relapsed/Refractory Pheochromocytoma/Paraganglioma

About Azedra

Azedra is a radio-therapeutic with FDA Fast Track status currently being studied in a phase 2 registrational trial under a Special Protocol Assessment with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration using a surrogate marker registrational endpoint. In addition to potentially treating pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma, Azedra may also have utility in treating neuroblastoma and other neuroendocrine diseases.

About Pheochromocytoma and Paragangliomas

Pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas are rare neuroendocrine tumors that arise from cells of the sympathetic nervous system. When pheochromocytomas are located outside the adrenal glands, they are called paragangliomas. Standard treatment options for these tumors include surgery, palliative therapy and symptom management. Malignant and recurrent pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas may result in unresectable disease with a poor prognosis, representing a significant management challenge with very limited treatment options and no approved anti-tumor therapies.
