Alpha Tau Announces FDA Approval of IDE Supplement to Expand Pilot Trial of Alpha DaRT® to Thirty Patients with Pancreatic Cancer in Two Cohorts, with Locally Advanced or Metastatic Disease
03 Fevereiro 2025 - 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 an approval from the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of an Investigational
Device Exemption (IDE) supplement to the IDE previously announced
on Jan 27, 2025, which had approved a clinical study examining the
combination of Alpha DaRT and first-line chemotherapy in 12
patients with newly diagnosed metastatic pancreatic cancer,
allowing expansion of the clinical trial to a broader group of
pancreatic cancer patients.
The IDE supplement allows the Company to include an additional
cohort for locally advanced pancreatic cancer patients, and to
increase the number of each cohort to 15 patients, for a total of
30 patients across the two cohorts, at up to 10 U.S. clinical trial
sites.
Alpha Tau CEO Uzi Sofer commented, “Following the incredible
data that we released last week, analyzing disease control and
overall survival in pancreatic cancer patients treated with Alpha
DaRT, we welcome the news of this IDE supplement as we continue to
move forward, full steam ahead, in our efforts to explore a new
treatment for patients with this deadly disease as quickly as
possible.”
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.
