Exciting position as a QC technician in a dynamic company

Oncoinvent is a privately held Norwegian company based in Nydalen, Oslo. The company is committed to developing novel, innovative products to provide better treatment options for cancer patients.

The Oncoinvent team consists of 44 employees and the company anticipates further growth. Oncoinvent holds a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility to produce drug products intended for use in pre-clinical and clinical trials. Clinical trials for Oncoinvent’s lead product, Radspherin® are ongoing. For further details on Oncoinvent see www.oncoinvent.com.

The facility holds a GMP certificate from the Norwegian Medical Agency. The approval provides the company with the necessary flexibility and capacity for manufacturing clinical trial material for both patients and trial sites, as well as developing the company further.

The company’s lead product candidate Radspherin® is a novel alpha-emitting radioactive microsphere suspension designed for treatment of micro-metastatic cancers in body cavities. The radium-224 based therapeutic, Radspherin® has shown strong and consistent anticancer activity at doses being essentially non-toxic in preclinical studies. It is anticipated that the product can potentially treat several forms of micro-metastatic cancer.

The development programs of the pipeline of the company include targeted radionuclide therapy for treatment of various solid cancers. The main focus of discovery is on alpha-emitting radionuclides for treatment by regional administration of the drug in body compartments with disseminated solid tumours.
