Item 1 .01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On January 3, 2018, IsoRay Medical, Inc. (“Medical”), a wholly owned subsidiary of IsoRay, Inc. (the “Company”), and GT Medical Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“GT Tech”), entered into a Manufacturing and Supply Agreement (the “Supply Agreement”).

 

Pursuant to the Supply Agreement, Medical will manufacture and supply a brachytherapy product that incorporates Cesium-131 seeds within customizable carriers configured as squares or rectangles for the treatment of brain tumors (the “GammaTile™ Product”), developed pursuant to the Collaborative Development Agreement described below. Once regulatory clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration permitting marketing of the GammaTile™ Product is received (the “510(k) Clearance”), , Medical will exclusively manufacture and supply the GammaTile™ Product for end users designated by GT Tech. Additionally, Medical will supply loose or braided Cesium-131 seeds for brachytherapy brain cancer treatment to GT Tech on a non-exclusive basis. The prices for the GammaTile™ Product and Cesium-131 seeds are set forth on Exhibit B of the Supply Agreement, subject to periodic adjustment, with an initial price per seed of between $130 and $150 depending on quantity ordered. As part of the Supply Agreement, Medical has agreed to transfer the 510(k) Clearance to GT Tech within 30 days of receipt. The term of the Supply Agreement is 10 years.

 

As a precursor to the Supply Agreement, o n March 13, 2017, Medical entered into a Collaborative Development Agreement (the “Development Agreement”) with GammaTile, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company (“GammaTile”) and an affiliate of GT Tech.

 

Pursuant to the Development Agreement, the parties agreed to collaborate to (a) refine GammaTile’s manufacturing process to develop the GammaTile™ Product, (b) seek regulatory approval of the GammaTile™ Product and (c) gain a reimbursement code with Medicare (together, the “Collaboration Project”). The parties agreed to share costs associated with the Collaboration Project equally. While the initial budget of the services to be provided by Medical was $429,514, with the need for additional animal testing as requested by the FDA, management believes the new budget will be closer to $950,000 and the parties have spent over $500,000 as of January 1, 2018. Intellectual property developed during the course of the Collaboration Project that does not relate to either prior existing intellectual property of a party or subsequent inventions related to such prior intellectual property of a party will be jointly owned by Medical and GammaTile. The Development Agreement terminates on March 13, 2018, but may be extended by mutual consent if necessary.

 

The foregoing summar ies of the Supply Agreement and the Development Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of each agreement. Copies of both agreements are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 and are incorporated herein by reference.

Exhibit C

Isotope Material Cost Baseline

 

 

The cost per curie from IsoRay ’s two suppliers currently is as follows: Russian Supply is 86 curies at [**] per curie and our MURR supply is 30 curies at approximately [**] per curie.  IsoRay’s weighted average cost per curie currently is approximately [**], and the utilization of the isotope is variable based upon demand and is managed on a weekly basis.  The seed price of $150 is based upon average per curie cost of the noted weighted average cost above.  IsoRay will submit the change in the supply cost to GT MED TECH and request an increase based upon the above analysis. E.g. If Russia changed the price to [**] per curie the new weighted average would be approximately [**] per curie and IsoRay will request an increase to the price of the isotope % of the seed price.   The seed price is based upon the items noted in Exhibit B above, and the current price of a 3.6U seed with 5 days incorporated into shipping time, relative to the overall price, is 66% or $100. If the cost of the isotope increased by 27% then we would request a price increase of 27% of $100 or $27 a seed. 

 

Current weighted material cost per Curie - [**]

Isotope price per seed - [**]

Seed Price adjustments will be made based on % increase on the isotope cost only and IsoRay will provide evidence of such change. Changes in weighted material cost per Curie driven from demand decrease at Iso Ray not related to the GammaTile product shall not impact Seed Price.

In the event of an uncured default in payment, IsoRay will be entitled to all reasonable costs of collection, including reasonably incurred legal fees.

 

3.     Confidential Information .

 

3.1.     Each P arty to this Agreement (“ Receiving Party ”), during the term of this Agreement and for a period of five (5) years thereafter, unless such Confidential Information is a trade secret and then such information shall be held in trust and confidential until such Confidential Information is no longer a trade secret, will hold in trust and confidence and will not use (other than in performance of its obligations hereunder) the Confidential Information of the other Party (the “ Disclosing Party ”). For purposes of this Agreement, the term “ Confidential Information ” includes, but is not limited to, the technical, financial and business information relating to the Disclosing Party and its inventions, products, research and development, finances, customers, suppliers, marketing and future business plans, and any third-party’s proprietary or confidential information disclosed in the course of providing or receiving services hereunder. In addition, Confidential Information also includes the terms, structure and cost information of this Agreement, as well as information disclosed by either Party before the date of this Agreement. For clarity, IsoRay Regulatory Data shall be deemed IsoRay’s Confidential Information.

 

3.2.     Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement, nothing received by the Receiving Party from the date of this Agreement will be considered Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party if (as demonstrated by written evidence or oral testimony) (a) it has been published or is otherwise readily available to the public other than by a breach of this Agreement, (b) it has been rightfully received by the Receiving Party from a third party without confidential limitations, (c) it has been independently developed for or by the Receiving Party by personnel or agents having no access, use of, or reference to the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, or (d) it was known to the Receiving Party (as shown by its books and records) prior to its first receipt from the Disclosing Party. Confidential Information may be disclosed to the extent required to be disclosed by applicable law, governmental rule or regulation or order of a court with competent jurisdiction, provided that Receiving Party provides reasonable prior notice to the Disclosing Party to enable the Disclosing Party to limit or prevent the disclosure. Each Party will ensure that its employees and agents who have access to Confidential Information of the other Party have signed a non-disclosure and non-use agreement with content similar to the provisions of this Section 3 prior to the disclosure of any Confidential Information hereunder.

 

3.3.     Because of the unique and proprietary nature of the Confidential Information, it is understood and agreed that the Disclosing Party ’s remedies at law for a breach or threatened breach by the Receiving Party of its obligations under this Section 3 may be inadequate and that the Disclosing Party may be entitled to equitable relief (including, without limitation, provisional and permanent injunctive relief and specific performance). Nothing stated in this Section 3 shall limit any other remedies provided under this Agreement or which are available to the Disclosing Party at law or in equity. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason, each Party will return (or certify as destroyed) all Confidential Information (including all copies thereof) of the other Party in its possession or control, provided however, a Receiving Party may retain a single copy of such Confidential Information in its confidential files for purposes of determining compliance with this Agreement.

Except for the Product DMR and the IsoRay Regulatory Data, all other data or results generated or developed by either Party in the course of the Collaboration (collectively, “ Collaboration Data ”) shall be jointly owned by both Parties, and each Party may disclose such Collaboration Data subject to Section 8 herein; provided, however, that neither Party may disclose any of the other Party’s Confidential Information or Background Intellectual Property without such Party’s prior written consent. Additional regulatory obligations are set forth in Exhibit D.

 

5.2.     T he Parties acknowledge and agree that IsoRay shall use the Product DMR, IsoRay Regulatory Data , and Collaboration Data to file a “Premarket Notification” under Section 510(k) of the United States Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act for the GammaTile Product and obtain clearance from the FDA that permits marketing of the GammaTile Product in the United States (the “510(k) Clearance” ) .

 

5.3.     Once 510(k) Clearance is obtained from the FDA to IsoRay, GammaTile LLC shall have the option, exercisable at its sole discretion with at least sixty (60) days advance written notice to IsoRay, to require IsoRay to transfer such 510(k) Clearance to GammaTile LLC or its designee. Except for assignment to its affiliates, subsidiaries, or to an acquirer or successor-in-interest (which assignees shall also be bound by IsoRay’s obligations under this Agreement, including the obligation to transfer the 510(k) Clearance to GammaTile LLC), IsoRay has no right to assign such 510(k) Clearance to any other party than GammaTile LLC without the prior written approval from GammaTile LLC. IsoRay shall use commercially reasonable efforts to transfer such 510(k) Clearance in compliance with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, and guidelines, including those promulgated by the FDA or any related regulatory agency thereto; provided, however , that IsoRay expressly disclaims any representation or warranty regarding GammaTile LLC’s ability to assume, accept, or perform manufacturing activities under such 510(k) Clearance. To the extent that there are any legal or regulatory or other issue(s) that could prevent or delay the transfer of the 510(k) Clearance from IsoRay to GammaTile LLC, the Parties agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with one another and with any government agency to overcome any such issue(s).

 

5.4.     For the avoidance of doubt, the use of any Collaboration Data or any research tools by a Party shal l remain subject to any dominating patent rights of the other Party that are not otherwise licensed to such Party. Additionally, scientific publication and/or presentation of IsoRay Regulatory Data or the Collaboration Data must be conducted in compliance with Section 8 below.

 

5.5.     In the event GammaTile LLC desires IsoRay to provide separate services to assist with GammaTile LLC’s exploitation of the 510(k) Clearance, other than the Exclusive Manufacturing Agreement, the Parties agree to negotiate a separate services agreement in good faith to set forth such additional services.

IsoRay Announces Manufacturing and Supply Agreement with GT Medical Technologies for GammaTile™ Radiation Therapy S ystem

 

10 Year Exclusive Agreement to Supply Proprietary Cesium-131 Seeds Embedded in Collagen Tiles

 

RICHLAND, Wash., January 8, 2018 -- IsoRay, Inc. (NYSE: ISR), a medical technology company and innovator in seed brachytherapy and medical radioisotope applications for the treatment of prostate, brain, lung, head and neck and gynecological cancers, today announced the signing of an exclusive Manufacturing and Supply Agreement with GT Medical Technologies, Inc., for proprietary Cesium-131 seeds embedded in collagen tiles. The term of the Supply Agreement is 10 years.

 

Under the Supply Agreement, IsoRay will exclusively manufacture and supply a brachytherapy product, known as GammaTile™, that incorporates its proprietary Cesium-131 seeds within customizable carriers, configured as squares or rectangles, for the treatment of brain tumors. The exclusive Supply Agreement follows the signing of a Collaborative Development Agreement in early 2017 with GT Medical Technologies (formally GammaTile LLC), in which the companies agreed to equally share costs as they collaborate on refining GammaTile’s manufacturing process, work together to achieve 510(k) regulatory clearance, and obtain reimbursement from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) for the GammaTile™ product.

 

This supply agreement is an important step on the path to commercialization of the novel GammaTile™ product,” said Thomas LaVoy, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of IsoRay, Inc. “As we’ve previously discussed, we project potential 510(k) clearance and reimbursement approval of GammaTile™ in 2018. GammaTile™ leverages Cesium-131’s unique ability to deliver a highly targeted dose of intense radiation treatment while limiting the radiation exposure to surrounding tissue. Upon FDA clearance, this will be an important new treatment option for patients with recurrent brain tumors, a large unmet clinical need.”

 

“GT Medical Technologies is excited to be working with IsoRay in our efforts to improve the live s of patients with brain tumors,” said Matthew E. Likens, President and CEO of GT Medical Technologies. “Over 100 patients with recurrent brain tumors have been treated in an IRB approved study at the Barrow Neurological Institute as our founding group of clinicians have developed this new therapeutic approach. Thus far, our results are encouraging and the goal is to expand access for patients to this promising therapy upon regulatory clearance and commercial launch.”

 

 

About GT Medical Technologies, Inc.

 

GT Medical Technologies, Inc, a privately held company based in Arizona, is focused on improving the lives of patients with brain tumors. GT has developed its proprietary approach, protected by 10 issued patents, to the treatment of brain tumors by combining a conformable collagen matrix with Cesium-131 seeds. In December of 2017, the company completed a multi-million-dollar round of outside investment capital, led by MedTech Venture Partners, and was awarded an Arizona Innovation Challenge grant in the amount of $250,000.
