Cellectar Biosciences is developing phospholipid drug conjugates (PDCs) designed to provide cancer targeted delivery of diverse
oncologic payloads to a broad range of cancers and cancer stem cells. Cellectar's PDC platform is based on the company's proprietary
phospholipid ether analogs. These novel small-molecules have demonstrated highly selective uptake and retention in a broad range
of cancers. Cellectar's PDC pipeline includes product candidates for cancer therapy and cancer diagnostic imaging. The company's
lead therapeutic PDC, CLR 131, utilizes iodine-131, a cytotoxic radioisotope, as its payload. CLR 131 is currently being evaluated
under an orphan drug designated Phase I clinical study in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. In addition,
the company plans to initiate a Phase II clinical study to assess efficacy in a range of B-cell malignancies in the first quarter
of 2017. The company is also developing PDCs for targeted delivery of chemotherapeutics such as paclitaxel (CLR 1602-PTX), a preclinical
stage product candidate, and plans to expand its PDC chemotherapeutic pipeline through both in-house and collaborative R&amp;D
efforts. For more information please visit <FONT STYLE="color: Blue"><U>www.cellectar.com</U></FONT>.</P>
