Alpha Tau Announces Upcoming Presentation of New Data at 2025 ASCO GI Symposium and at Company R&D Update Day
18 Dezembro 2024 - 10:30AM
Alpha Tau Medical Ltd. ("Alpha Tau", or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:
DRTS, DRTSW), the developer of the innovative alpha-radiation
cancer therapy Alpha DaRT®, announced today that an abstract
entitled “Interim analysis of feasibility, safety, and tumor
control in two first-in-human trials of a novel alpha-emitting
radionuclide for pancreatic adenocarcinoma,” submitted by principal
investigators involved in the Company’s Israeli pancreatic cancer
trial, has been accepted to the 2025 ASCO Gastrointestinal Cancers
Symposium, to be held January 23 – 25, 2025 in San Francisco, CA.
The poster will be presented during “Poster Session B: Cancers of
the Pancreas, Small Bowel, and Hepatobiliary Tract,” on January 24,
2025 at 11:30am – 1:00pm PT.
Alpha Tau will also host an R&D Update Day on Monday,
January 27, 2025 at 11am ET, during which the Company will review
the new data shared at the symposium and additional data from the
Company’s Canadian pancreatic cancer trial, including data on
feasibility, safety, tumor response, and survival metrics. The
Company will also review findings from other clinical trials,
including the Company’s trial exploring the use of Alpha DaRT in
combination with pembrolizumab for the treatment of recurrent
unresectable or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and
neck. Clinicians involved in the various studies will participate
in the R&D Update Day, and additional details will be shared
ahead of the event.
“It is an honor for us to have our data presented at an ASCO
symposium, a first for Alpha Tau,” noted Company CEO Uzi Sofer. “We
are excited for these findings to be shared with leading experts in
the field and with the broader community as well. With the release
of new results, we hope to showcase our ambitions to go even
further than our previous successes in superficial tumors, as we
continue to investigate Alpha DaRT as a compelling treatment for
internal organ tumors of high unmet need as well as the potential
systemic benefits from its local use.”
About Alpha Tau Medical Ltd.
Founded in 2016, Alpha Tau is an Israeli oncology therapeutics
company that focuses on research, development, and potential
commercialization of the Alpha DaRT for the treatment of solid
tumors. The technology was initially developed by Prof. Itzhak
Kelson and Prof. Yona Keisari from Tel Aviv University.
About Alpha DaRT®
Alpha DaRT (Diffusing Alpha-emitters Radiation Therapy) is
designed to enable highly potent and conformal alpha-irradiation of
solid tumors by intratumoral delivery of radium-224 impregnated
sources. When the radium decays, its short-lived daughters are
released from the sources and disperse while emitting high-energy
alpha particles with the goal of destroying the tumor. Since the
alpha-emitting atoms diffuse only a short distance, Alpha DaRT aims
to mainly affect the tumor, and to spare the healthy tissue around
it.
