CAMBRIDGE, England & BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Bicycle Therapeutics plc (NASDAQ: BCYC), a pharmaceutical company pioneering a new and differentiated class of therapeutics based on its proprietary bicyclic peptide (Bicycle®) technology, today announced that the company will present data highlighting its potential to develop differentiated radiopharmaceutical molecules, called Bicycle Radionuclide Conjugates (BRC®), at the European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM) 2024 Congress taking place October 19-23 in Hamburg, Germany.
The German Cancer Consortium (DKTK), part of a cooperative network with the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), will present the first human imaging data for a BRC targeting MT1-MMP, a tumor antigen overexpressed in many cancers, during an oral presentation. In an online-only poster (e-poster), the company will present information about BRCs for radioisotope delivery to solid tumors. Additionally, Bicycle Therapeutics will host a conference call and webcast for analysts and investors on Wednesday, Oct. 23, at 8 a.m. ET to review the data and outline the company’s radiopharmaceuticals strategy.

About Bicycle Therapeutics
Bicycle Therapeutics is a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company developing a novel class of medicines, referred to as Bicycle® molecules, for diseases that are underserved by existing therapeutics. Bicycle molecules are fully synthetic short peptides constrained with small molecule scaffolds to form two loops that stabilize their structural geometry. This constraint facilitates target binding with high affinity and selectivity, making Bicycle molecules attractive candidates for drug development. The company is evaluating zelenectide pevedotin (formerly BT8009), a Bicycle® Toxin Conjugate (BTC®) targeting Nectin-4, a well-validated tumor antigen; BT5528, a BTC molecule targeting EphA2, a historically undruggable target; and BT7480, a Bicycle Tumor-Targeted Immune Cell Agonist® (Bicycle TICA®) targeting Nectin-4 and agonizing CD137, in company-sponsored clinical trials. Additionally, the company is developing Bicycle Radionuclide Conjugates (BRC®) for radiopharmaceutical use and, through various partnerships, is exploring the use of Bicycle® technology to develop therapies for diseases beyond oncology.
Bicycle Therapeutics is headquartered in Cambridge, UK, with many key functions and members of its leadership team located in Cambridge, Mass. For more information, visit bicycletherapeutics.com.
