Oncoinvent AS, a clinical stage company advancing alpha emitter therapy across a variety of cancers, today announced that the first colorectal cancer patient in the RAD-18-002 phase 2A clinical trial has been treated with its drug candidate, Radspherin®. The study is conducted at two sites, the Radium Hospital in Oslo Norway and at the Uppsala University Hospital in Uppsala Sweden and will include a total of thirty patients.
“The start of the RAD-18-002 phase 2A study marks an entry into the next stage of development for both our product candidate Radspherin® as well as for Oncoinvent,” said Jan A. Alfheim, Chief Executive Officer of Oncoinvent. “This new study takes us a step closer to achieving our primary goal of developing an effective therapy for cancer patients suffering from peritoneal carcinomatosis.”

Key objectives in the study include survival benefit as well as acute and long-term safety of the drug product candidate.
