Commercial Supply Agreement.
Material
Name:
XOFIGO®
(radium RA 223 dichloride)
Material/Article
Number:
Storage
Instruction:
Storage
of XOFIGO should be in accordance with the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission regulations on radioactive materials. Store at room temperature,
below 40ºC. Store XOFIGO in the original container or equivalent radiation shielding.
Special
Handling Instructions:
XOFIGO
(radium Ra 223 dichloride, an alpha particle-emitting pharmaceutical) should be received, used and administered only by persons authorized
to handle radiopharmaceuticals in designated clinical settings. The receipt, storage, use, transfer and disposal of XOFIGO are subject
to the regulations and/or appropriate licenses of the competent official organization.
XOFIGO
should be handled by the user in a manner which satisfies both radiation safety and pharmaceutical quality requirements. Appropriate
aseptic precautions should be taken. The gamma radiation associated with the decay of radium-223 and its daughters allows for the radioactivity
measurement of XOFIGO and the detection of contamination with standard instruments.
The
administration of XOFIGO is associated with potential risks for other persons (e.g. medical staff, care givers and patient’s
household members) from radiation or contamination from body fluids such as spills of urine, feces and vomit. Therefore, radiation
protection precautions must be taken in accordance with national and local regulations. Although radium-223 is predominantly an alpha
emitter, gamma and beta radiation is associated with the decay of radium-223 and its radioactive daughter isotopes. The external
radiation exposure associated with handling of patient doses is considerably lower in comparison to other radiopharmaceuticals for
therapeutic purposes as the administered radioactivity will usually be below 8 MBq (216 microcurie). However, in keeping with the
ALARA (“As Low As Reasonably Achievable”) principle, for minimization of radiation exposure, it is recommended to minimize
the time spent in radiation areas, to maximize the distance to radiation sources, and to use adequate shielding.
17
The
INVESTIGATOR will document the destruction in the Trial Master File. The INVESTIGATOR will send confirmation of destruction to BAYER.
Any unused product or materials used in connection with the preparation or administration of XOFIGO are to be treated as radioactive
waste and should be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.
For
drug handling: Follow the normal working procedures for the handling of radiopharmaceuticals and use universal precautions for handling
and administration such as gloves and barrier gowns when handling blood and bodily fluids to avoid contamination. In case of contact
with skin or eyes, the affected area should be flushed immediately with water. In the event of spillage of XOFIGO, the local radiation
safety officer should be contacted immediately to initiate the necessary measurements and required procedures to decontaminate the
area.

21
Annex
SP
Rationale
Radiation
resistance arises from both cancer cell autonomous and tumor microenvironment determinants. Radium-223 dichloride (Xofigo) is a first-in-class,
bone-targeting radiopharmaceutical approved for the treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer with symptomatic bone
metastases. We previously reported mitochondrial-dependent energy production as a survival mechanism in irradiated prostate cacner (PCa)
epithelia. We have shown that targeting BMP/CD105 signaling with ENV105 can sensitize PCa to radiotherapy by disrupting stromal-epithelial
interaction. Multiple past trials as well as those on- going (NCT05401110 and NCT05534646) support the safety of ENV105 in cancer patients.
Our data demonstrated that irradiation intensified stromal-epithelial interactions by promoting epithelial BMP ligand secretion and simultaneously
increasing cell surface CD105 in fibroblasts. This radiation-induced phenotype amplified fibroblastic CD105 signaling in a paracrine
manner promoting mitochondrial ketone metabolism. We propose that radiation-induced damage to mitochondria, DNA, and other organelles
creates a context in which ENV105 becomes effective in the combination therapy setting. There is an elevation of CD105 expression in
carcinoma associated fibroblasts and PCa cells, compared to normal tissues, that is further elevated by radiation therapy. The CD105
signaling in PCa cells themselves contributes to SIRT1-mediated mitochondrial biogenesis, a known mechanism for radiation resistance.
The result of systemically blocking the BMP/CD105 axis by ENV105 resulted in persistent DNA double stranded breaks and reduced tumor
size compared to radiation therapy alone.

Kairos
Pharma Announces Strategic Collaboration with Bayer to Enhance XOFIGO Activity in Metastatic Prostate Cancer
Combination
Targets a $570M–$1.3B Addressable Global Market; ENV-105 Phase 2 Data Show 86% Clinical Benefit Rate in Resistant mCRPC
LOS
ANGELES – July 22, 2026 – Kairos Pharma, Ltd. (NYSE American: KAPA), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused
on overcoming cancer drug resistance, today announced a strategic collaboration with Bayer to evaluate Kairos Pharma’s lead antibody
ENV-105 (carotuximab), a first-in-class CD105/BMP signaling inhibitor, in combination with Bayer’s XOFIGO (radium-223 dichloride)
in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) involving bone.
Kairos
Pharma’s current programs with ENV-105 include a Phase 1 trial in EGFR-driven non-small cell lung cancer and a Phase 2 trial for
castrate resistant prostate cancer. Last year, Kairos announced positive interim efficacy data from the Phase 2 trial showcasing
median progression-free survival was more than 13 months, a significant improvement from standard of care. These data were presented
at the 2025 ESMO Congress in Berlin. XOFIGO is the first and only FDA-approved alpha-emitting radiopharmaceutical for mCRPC with symptomatic
bone metastases and is currently advancing through additional combination studies, including the Phase III PEACE-3 trial, which demonstrated
a 24% reduction in mortality risk when combined with enzalutamide (HR 0.76; p=0.009).
“Drug
resistance remains one of the greatest challenges in advanced prostate cancer, and XOFIGO, like many standard-of-care therapies, can
lose efficacy over time,” said John Yu, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Kairos Pharma. “ENV-105 has already demonstrated
the ability to re-sensitize tumors to existing treatments with a strong safety profile, and this collaboration with Bayer represents
a major milestone in our mission to deliver more durable and more effective treatment regimens for patients with metastatic prostate
cancer.”
Previous
published work has demonstrated the efficacy of ENV-105 in radiation sensitization in prostate cancer preclinical models. CD105 is upregulated
in response to standard androgen receptor inhibition and in responses to ionizing radiation, driving pro-survival BMP-SMAD signaling
pathways underlying therapy resistance. Targeting CD105 with ENV-105 re-sensitizes resistant tumors and may extend the duration and depth
of response to XOFIGO’s targeted alpha therapy.
Neil
Bhowmick, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer and Principal Investigator stated, “CD105’s role as a central resistance mechanism
validated now across multiple drug classes makes this collaboration scientifically compelling and clinically timely, given XOFIGO’s
recent Phase III momentum.”
About
Kairos Pharma Ltd.
Based
in Los Angeles, California, Kairos Pharma Ltd. (NYSE American: KAPA) is at the forefront of oncology therapeutics, utilizing structural
biology to overcome drug resistance and immune suppression in cancer. Kairos Pharma’s lead candidate, ENV-105, is an antibody that
targets CD105—a protein identified as a key driver of resistance and disease relapse in response to standard therapy. ENV-105 aims
to reverse drug resistance by targeting CD105 and restore the effectiveness of standard therapies across multiple cancer types. For more
