With that said, I will now turn the call over to Mr. James Caruso. Jim?

Thank you, Jules and thank you to everyone joining us today for our first quarter 2016 call. The last two quarters of 2015 and the first quarter of 2016 continue to represent a significant shift in corporate objectives, culture and branding for Cellectar Biosciences. Significant progress has been achieved and we remain confident in our corporate strategy, operating plan execution and our delivery platform technology. We are pleased with the resulting program advancements and look forward to providing further color on today’s call. To briefly outline the call’s agenda, we will start by having our CFO, Chad Kolean provide a financial summary and a recap of our recently completed public financing. I will then deliver a general overview of our progress. Dr. Kevin Kozak, our Chief Medical Officer, will provide a detailed update regarding CLR 131, our exciting PDC currently in a Phase 1 study for the treatment of multiple myeloma. Following this update, Dr. Jamey Weichert, our Chief Scientific Officer, will review the research advances with our CLR/CTX chemotherapeutic conjugate program and then update on expected preclinical milestones as well as other ongoing R&D initiatives. Of course, at the conclusion of the call, the executive leadership team will be available to answer your questions. At this time, I would like to turn the call over to our CFO, Chad Kolean for our financial update.

Thank you, Jim. Over the next few minutes, I will address the following: the recently completed underwritten offering that we closed on April 28, the restructuring of the warrants we issued as part of our October 2015 financing, our NASDAQ compliance status and our financial results for the first quarter of 2016. On April 28, 2016, we closed a firm commitment underwritten public offering registered on Form S-1 originally filed in December 2015. The initial book resulted in $7 million of gross proceeds. Prior to the closing, the underwriter exercised its over-allotment in full, which represent another $1 million of proceeds for a total of $8 million. After deducting commissions and other expenses related to the offering, Cellectar realized net proceeds of approximately $7.2 million. In terms of securities, we sold 1,871,321 shares of common tock and 1,908,021 pre-funded warrants in addition to 3,779,342 Series A warrants, which includes shares and warrants covered by the over-allotment option. We offered either common stock with Series A warrants at a 1:1 ratio for $2.13 or pre-funded warrants with Series A warrants at a 1:1 ratio for $2.12. The pre-funded warrants were offered to those investors who did not wish their beneficial ownership of our outstanding common stock to exceed 4.99%. The pre-funded warrants are immediately exercisable at $0.01 per share. Since the closing of the offering through May 10, we have issued approximately 1.1 million shares of common stock pursuant to exercises of the pre-funded warrants issued in this transaction. The Series A warrants have an exercise price of $3.04 per share are also immediately exercisable, expire in 5 years and are callable by the company under certain circumstances. These warrants are also listed on the NASDAQ Capital Markets under the ticker symbol, CLRBZ. None of the warrants issued as part of…

Thank you, Chad. We are pleased with our recent financing and the capacity upsides, the deal from the original $6 million target to $8 million. The operating runway established by this financing allows the company to execute its research and clinical development programs and achieve what we believe to be value transforming milestones. Additionally, we believe this successful financing and the company’s associated capital structure enhancements will allow Cellectar to maintain its NASDAQ Exchange listing. Prior to reviewing our near-term Q2 and Q3 planned milestones, let’s first review the achievements of the past quarter. In January, we announced positive cohort one clinical data from our Phase 1 study of CLR 131 for the treatment of relapse or refractory multiple myeloma. Immediately following this announcement, we initiated the second cohort of this study and opened patient enrollment. The Phase 2 dose of CLR 131 to this cohort is 18.75 millicurie per meter squared which is a dose increase of 50%. Additionally we made further advancements with the development of our CLR CTX chemotherapeutic conjugate program. This in-house PDC program is designed to convert non-targeted chemotherapeutics to targeted agents providing the preference for dose delivery to cancer cells versus healthy cells altering the drug’s existing therapeutic index to potentially enhance efficacy and reduce adverse events. In addition, we launched a chemotherapeutic conjugate R&D program collaboration with Pierre Fabre, which we announced in the December 2015 timeframe. We believe our delivery platform technology and PDC assets provide the company with the potential for future collaborations. And finally, in addition to the successful completion of recent public filings, we remain diligent to P&L management to optimize our operating runway. It is important to note that the company will remain opportunistic relative to strategic hires and projects that will accelerate and enhance corporate value drivers such as the advancement of our collaboration platform. In summary, the company is now positioned to execute a therapeutic focused research and clinical development plan to further market its delivery platform and achieve near-term value transforming milestones in 2016. Let’s now transition to a more detailed discussion of our research and clinical development program updates and begin with Dr. Kevin Kozak, our Chief Medical Officer to further discuss our Phase 1 study of CLR 131. Kevin?

Thanks Jim. At this time I would like to further discuss our current Phase 1 program evaluating CLR 131 for the treatment of relapse, refractory multiple myeloma. It’s important to note that myeloma’s incurable malignancy of plasma cell is diagnosed in approximately 30,000 Americans each year, qualifying it as an orphan disease. This hematologic cancer is characterized by both defuse distribution and radio sensitivities suggesting a systemic radio therapeutic may have a role in the armamentarium for multiple myeloma. While available treatment options generally display substantial activity in newly diagnosed disease, invariably myeloma recurs in both treatment response rates as well as time to disease progression dropped significantly in the relapse and refractory setting. As a result and despite recent expansion in treatment option there remains a high unmet clinical need. Our lead compound CLR 131 is composed of iodine 131 a cytotoxic radioisotope that is selectively delivered to myeloma cells via our targeted PDC platform. In our multi-center open label Phase 1 dose escalating study for relapse or refractory multiple myeloma currently underway, our primary objective is to characterize the safety and tolerability of CLR 131 in this populations. Secondary objectives include establishment of the recommended Phase 2 dose both with and without dexamethasone as well as an assessment of therapeutic activity. December 2015, we announced the completion of the first cohort and in January 2016 we shared positive clinical data demonstrating CLR 131 safety and tolerability with a favorable adverse event profile. Additionally, stable disease was achieved in four of the five patients dosed including two patients who maintained progression pre-survival throughout the 85-day study monitoring period. As a result our data monitoring committee unanimously recommended dose escalation from 12.5 to 18.75 millicurie per meter squared. The five patients enrolled in the first cohort were heavily pre-treated with…

Thank you, Kevin. We remain excited about the potential of CLR 131 for the treatment of multiple myeloma. This may be an extremely meaningful program for Cellectar and the many patients that may benefit from its therapy. I would now like to introduce Dr. Jamey Weichert, our Chief Scientific Officer. Jamey will provide an update on our CLR/CTX chemotherapeutic PDC research program, a recap of our CTX collaboration with Pierre Fabre, and a review of our progress to-date with our NCI-funded research of our CLR 125 PDC. Jamey?

Thank you, Jim. Since our last update, we have continued to rapidly advance our CTX program development. We believe with the improved cancer targeting provided by our delivery platform that we can combine our PDC delivery vehicle with chemotherapeutic agents to convert untargeted drugs into new targeted agents. We expect the new targeted agent or PDC to possess an improved therapeutic index potentially impacting the original drug’s efficacy and tolerability profile in a positive manner. This will also result in the creation of new products, established new patent life and provide a meaningful lifecycle management resource. To-date, we have initiated work with a number of on-market generic chemotherapeutics. We are focused on our paclitaxel series of PDCs to fulfill our near-term goal of further validating in vivo cancer tumor targeting with chemotherapeutic payloads via our PDC delivery platform. Furthermore, we remained focused on developing the research capacity to assess in vivo targeting for greater numbers of chemotherapeutic PDCs more efficiently and rapidly. As you may recall, our delivery vehicle has demonstrated a cancer targeted preference of approximately sixfold to tenfold dependent on cancer type. We believe even a far more modest shift in preferential cancer targeting may have a meaningful impact on the adverse event profile of some chemotherapeutics. To-date with our paclitaxel series of distinct PDCs, we have completed larger scale synthesis, formulation without Cremophor in vitro cytotoxicity assays and plasma and liver enzyme stability assays. I cite the Cremophor formulation removal as it is a component of the currently utilized paclitaxel formulation that is known to create a significant increase in adverse events. From these results, we have selected CLR 1602 as the lead for subsequent tumor targeting in vivo studies. To accomplish these near-term goals and for future studies, we have completed the synthesis of deuterated CLR…

Thank you, Jamey. We appreciate the potential upside this collaboration may provide. Pierre Fabre possesses significant oncology R&D capabilities, which we believe will accelerate the development and further validate our PDC platform. We look forward to sharing more about the accomplishments of this collaboration in the future. Relative to our chemotherapeutic conjugate program, it is important to note that our pending patent is scheduled to be published by the U.S. Patent and Trade Office in the second quarter of this year and will provide intellectual property protection for this program through November 2035. In terms of CLR 125, we continue to advance the first phase of the NCI, SBIR grant. This grant has been fully funded, additional research that has allowed us to enhance internal understanding of our delivery platforms. Upon completion of the first phase of the grant, an objective data assessment will be completed regarding the potential clinical promise of CLR 125 as well as a product development and commercialization evaluation which will include third-party expert feedback. This assessment, along with an opportunity cost analysis, will drive our decision regarding the future advancement of this program. Jamey?

Thanks, Jim. As we have previously stated, I-125 is a unique radioisotope with well-described radiobiologic advantages for the treatment of small volume disease, including micro metastases. Our NCI-funded SBIR grant was awarded to allow for the further evaluation of these characteristics, our delivery platform and CLR 125 in a preclinical setting. If warranted, the company may advance the research into the clinic as part of the second phase of the $2.3 million award. The preclinical phase of the research grant was initiated on September 30, 2015 and we are pleased to report the following. We have strengthened the CMC portfolio for CLR 125, which has demonstrated adequate radiochemical yield and purity. We have also initiated stability testing on a final product. We have completed ex vivo tissue bio-distribution studies with the product, as well as in vivo tumor targeting validation with micro PET CT scanning. We also believe we have established the maximum tolerable dose for subsequent efficacy trials. The first phase of the NCI award will be completed by the close of this quarter and we will provide an update in Q3. The company will review the preclinical data and product development and commercialization viability. And once we understand all related resource opportunity costs, we will then determine if initiation of the clinical work as part of the second phase of the grant is warranted. Back to you, Jim.

Thanks again, Jamey. In closing, we believe that our company’s progress has positioned Cellectar for a potentially transformational year in 2016 and we remain excited about the near-term milestones, including a Q2 CTX program update providing an early read on in vivo targeting with one of our paclitaxel PDCs, the second quarter publication of our pending patent to bolster our intellectual property portfolio and protect our CTX PDCs through November 2035. Completion of the CLR 125 preclinical in vitro and in vivo research in Q2 with a Q3 program update and most importantly a CLR 131 multiple myeloma study performance update for cohort two in the third quarter of 2016. Additionally, we will provide high level progress reports regarding Pierre Fabre collaboration as appropriate and within the guidelines of our agreement and of course the announcement of additional milestones and events as they occur. Thank you very much for your participation on this call and the continued interest in Cellectar. At this time, Chad, Jamey, Kevin and I welcome any questions you may have. Jules?

[Operator Instructions] And our first question comes from the line of Jeff Hart with Hart Partners. Your line is open.

Hi, good afternoon gentlemen. My question – I have two questions, my first question is unfortunate about the stock prices, I am sure a lot of other people are, but still like what you are doing and remain positive and very optimistic, any comments relative to the stock’s performance recently?

Yes. Why don’t I go ahead and take that one. Thanks for asking the question Mr. Hart. We appreciate it. We appreciate your participation on the call. I will tell you that we share your frustration, I understand that our current stock price and clearly undervalued company market cap is frustrating for our shareholders. Taking a step back and starting from a macro perspective, I think it’s fair to say that the macroeconomic environment in general and sector specific dynamics and from macro cap out to companies have generally not been kind. However, I would like to focus on company specific performance as an ultimate value driver to appropriately answer your question. I think it’s important to note that we continue to remain focused on executing our operating plan and quite frankly to-date, the company has achieved each of our publicly established milestones, in fact most of them ahead of guidance including the complete repositioning and re-branding of the company in a relatively short period of time, the transition to an oncology therapeutic R&D focus. We have built a collaboration model based on our PDC platform, which we believe represents the foundation that ultimately will fuel the future growth of the company. And I would like to talk a little bit about 131, it’s our primary valuation driver, which by the way provided impressive Phase 1 data for the treatment of relapse refractory multiple myeloma and we shared that update in the first week of January. And as I cited earlier is a full quarter ahead of guidance. As Kevin pointed out CLR 131 is a unique agent, it has a novel mechanism of action a one-time, one hour infusion in an incurable disease with high unmet medical need with very promising data and we are sitting here with the…

Thank you, Jim. One last question if I may with the recent new drug approvals for multiple myeloma, is there room for yet another treatment?

Why don’t we go ahead and let Kevin do you want to handle that?

Absolutely, thanks Mr. Hart. I actually and call me a rose colored glass wear actually see this as an opportunity rather than a liability. Multiple myeloma remains incurable and the recently developed drugs haven’t altered that fact. Consequently, I think this continues to represent a significant unmet medical need. And just historically, we can review the drugs that have entered the armamentarium. So in 2012, 2013 we saw carfilzomib and pomalidomid. As you know these are not transformative agents. They are simple comparable mechanisms of actions that tried and proved bortezomib and lenalidomide. In 2014, a down year for myeloma, we saw FARYDAK or panobinostat. If you recall in fall of 2014, the FDA actually Oncology Drugs Advisory Committee recommended against approval of FARYDAK because of its really modest activity and it hasn’t really permeated the clinic. 2015 clearly an up year. So, ixazomib one of the three drugs approved in November 2015. This drug of course has the similar mechanism of action as bortezomib, its oral and there is some attraction, but again non-transformative. Potentially transformative of course are the antibodies elotuzumab and daratumumab. First, elotuzumab not shown activity as the single agent and so must be used in combination. And this is the precursor to my comments of opportunity rather than liability. Daratumumab in contrast does have single agent activity. But I think it is these new agents and some of the older agents that represents the opportunity with a novel mechanism of actions agents like CLR 131 that we are genuinely hopeful will demonstrate single agent activity, not only do we have another mechanism of action for an incurable malignancy. So we then have the opportunity to bring some of the other promising agents that have not shown activity such as panobinostat, such as elotuzumab or some of the older agents which have biochemical reasons to be thought to be complementary to CLR 131 such as bortezomib in combination for further development of our agent. So the long answer to your question, but I really do genuinely think there are unmet clinical needs and there remains genuine opportunity both as single agent and in combination with some previously approved agents. I hope that answers your question.

Thank you very much gentlemen, it did. Thank you very much.

Thank you. [Operator Instructions] And I am not showing any further questions at this time. I would now like to turn the call back over to Mr. Jim Caruso for any further remarks.

Terrific. Thank you. Thank you all very much for your participation on this call. We appreciate your continued interest in Cellectar. We certainly look forward to our future communications. Thank you.

Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for participating in today’s conference. This does conclude the program and you may all disconnect. Everyone have a great day.
