Some prostate cancers progress after targeted therapy. Actinium is testing radiation aimed at a different target.
Actinium Pharmaceuticals presented early Phase 1 trial data for ATNM-400, a non-PSMA targeted radiotherapy for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). The study aims to assess safety, biodistribution, and dosimetry of Zirconium-89-labeled ATNM-400, with plans to advance to Actinium-225-labeled therapy. According to the company, ATNM-400 targets a novel antigen and could benefit a broad mCRPC patient population, including those resistant to PSMA-directed therapies.
