Pipeline

The development programs of the company include radiopharmaceutical drug product candidates for treatment of various solid cancers. The technology platform is focused on the use of alpha-emitting radionuclides as therapeutic payload.

The company’s lead candidate Radspherin is currently in clinical development in two indications; peritoneal metastasis from ovarian and colorectal cancer but is also relevant for treating peritoneal metastasis from other cancer types and potentially metastatic cancer in other body cavities. 

The company has developed the proprietary antibody OI-1 which targets the protein tyrosine kinase 7 (PTK7). As a pseudokinase lacking catalytic activity in its intracellular domain, PTK7 is insensitive to traditional tyrosine kinase inhibitors, making it a promising target for radionuclide- or drug delivery using antibodies. This asset is available for partnering or out-licensing.
