Expanding the potential of radiopharmaceuticals

Aktis Oncology’s proprietary miniprotein radioconjugate is helping to transform the treatment landscape by enabling the discovery of next-generation precision radiopharmaceuticals.

Opportunity for impact

Our platform has the transformational potential to increase addressable tumor types, enable use of radiopharmaceuticals in earlier lines of therapy, and expand utilization of radiopharmaceuticals in the clinical oncology setting.

We see significant opportunity to broaden the cancer patient populations benefiting from targeted radiopharmaceuticals by developing next-generation technologies that expand the scope of clinically validated tumor targets for which it is possible to safely deliver a powerful payload of an alpha-emitting radioisotope.

Expanding the breakthrough potential of targeted radiopharmaceuticals

Precision targeting

Our highly selective tumor-targeting radiopharmaceuticals are designed to deeply penetrate tumors and maintain long residence times, providing concentrated impact directly to the tumor.

Unique molecular design

Custom-engineered radiopharmaceuticals deliver powerful alpha particles directly to the tumor while being rapidly cleared from other parts of the body to minimize whole-body isotope exposure.

Cancer cell death

Alpha particles are much larger and heavier than beta particles, with higher energy and shorter travel distances. Alpha-emitting radioisotopes create catastrophic double-stranded DNA breaks and are 1000 times more potent in cell killing than beta-emitters but can only travel two to three cell lengths.

The power to see and know

A key component of our approach is the ability to leverage imaging tools to understand precisely where our radiopharmaceuticals are being delivered in the body. By employing a theranostic approach, we can visualize and verify tumor target engagement, allowing us to better predict which patients are most likely to benefit from this type of therapy.

Scaling for the future

Carefully timed and coordinated logistics are critical for effective delivery of radiopharmaceuticals whose activity diminish over time. Aktis Oncology is engaged at every step of the manufacturing process to ensure just-in-time delivery of its radiopharmaceuticals. We prioritize the physician and patient experience to ease the traditional limitations of radiopharmaceuticals and to ensure our medicines make it to the patients who need them.
