on the FDA Import Alert </B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><B>&nbsp;</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><B>MADISON, Wis., September 24, 2018</B> &ndash; Cellectar Biosciences,
Inc. (Nasdaq: CLRB), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of
drugs for the treatment of cancer, announces today that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has initiated direct talks
with the company concerning a possible exemption for CLR 131 from the Import Alert placed on the Centre for Probe Development and
Commercialization (CPDC), the sole supplier of Cellectar&rsquo;s drug CLR 131.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">As announced on August 10, 2018, Cellectar was informed by CPDC
of the Import Alert on August 7, 2018, and further learned that the basis for the Import Alert was not related to CLR 131 or to
CPDC&rsquo;s production facility associated with CLR 131. Since notification of the Import Alert, Cellectar has been actively assisting
CPDC to secure the timely removal of the Import Alert. Recently, the FDA initiated direct talks with Cellectar on a potential pathway
to remove CLR 131 from the Import Alert and allow CPDC to resume supply of CLR 131.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&ldquo;We are encouraged that the FDA initiated a direct dialogue
with us regarding a potential resolution for the Import Alert that is affecting CLR 131,&rdquo; said James Caruso, president and
CEO of Cellectar Biosciences. &ldquo;This issue remains a top priority for Cellectar and although we are not currently able to
assess whether the FDA will exempt CLR 131 from the Import Alert, we are working closely with the agency and plan to respond quickly
to any information requests.&rdquo;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><FONT STYLE="background-color: white"><B>About CLR 131</B></FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><FONT STYLE="background-color: white">CLR 131 is Cellectar&rsquo;s
investigational radioiodinated PDC therapy that exploits the tumor-targeting properties of the company's proprietary phospholipid

tissues. </FONT>CLR 131 is in a Phase 2 clinical study in R/R MM and a range of B-cell malignancies and a Phase 1b clinical study

open-label, Phase 1b dose-escalation study is the characterization of safety and tolerability of CLR 131 in patients with R/R MM.
Patients in Cohorts 1-4 received single doses of CLR 131 ranging from 12.5 mCi/m<SUP>2</SUP> to 31.25 mCi/m<SUP>2</SUP> as well
as a fractionated dose of 15.625 mCi/m<SUP>2</SUP> given twice over seven days in Cohort 5. All study doses and regimens have been
deemed safe and well tolerated by an independent Data Monitoring Committee. </FONT>The company is currently initiating a Phase
1 study with CLR 131 in pediatric solid tumors and lymphoma and is planning a second Phase 1 study in combination with external
beam radiation for head and neck cancer.</P>
