ENG

Cardinal Health, Inc. (NYSE: CAH), a healthcare services company operating the largest radiopharmaceutical network in the United States, has been selected to supply gallium 68 (Ga 68) dotatate doses prepared with a novel kit to U.S. hospitals and imaging centers for Advanced Accelerator Applications S.A. (NASDAQ:AAAP).

NETSPOT(TM) (formerly known as Somakit-TATE) is a patented kit recently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for the preparation of Ga 68 dotatate for injection, for the localization of somatostatin receptor positive neuroendocrine tumors in adult and pediatric patients using Positron Emission Tomography (“PET“). The product has received orphan drug designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA“).

Cardinal Health’s extensive U.S. network of radiopharmaceutical manufacturing facilities will prepare and deliver NETSPOT patient doses to advanced medical imaging sites in key metropolitan areas where high demand is anticipated. This partnership makes Cardinal Health the second radiopharmacy network that will participate in the NETSPOT supply chain, after the announcement of the Zevacor Pharma partnership earlier this year.
