Radiopharm Theranostics (RAD) and AtomVie Global Radiopharma have announced a partnership for the development and manufacturing of 177 Lu-BetaBart radioantibody to treat multiple solid tumours. The partnership has been formed with Radiopharm Ventures (RV), a joint venture between RAD and the MD Anderson Cancer Center (MDACC). 177 Lu-BetaBart is a 177 Lutetium-conjugated radioantibody that targets the immune checkpoint molecule B7-H3, which is heavily exhibited in various tumour types and associated with aggressive cancer and poor patient outcomes. The collaboration intends to strengthen both companies’ expertise to producenew radiotherapeutic solutions for cancer, addressing significant unmet medical needs. The first targeted radiopharmaceutical against the 4Ig subtype of B7-H3, 177 Lu-BetaBart was engineered at MDACC to have a lesser blood circulation time and decreased on-target off-tissue toxicity.

Continue Reading AtomVie Global Radiopharma and Radiopharm Theranostics Partner to Develop and Manufacture 177Lu-BetaBart Radioantibody for Treatment of Multiple Solid Tumors B7-H3 is an immune checkpoint molecule that is overexpressed in several tumor types and represents a highly attractive target for antibody-based cancer immunotherapy. Deregulated B7-H3 expression is linked with tumor aggressiveness and poor outcomes. 177Lu-BetaBart is the first targeted radiopharmaceutical in development against the 4Ig subtype of B7-H3, which is the most common subtype expressed on human tumors. The monoclonal antibody, invented at MDACC, has been specifically engineered with a shorter blood circulation time and reduced affinity for on-target off-tissue toxicity, leading to a final molecule that is highly promising for human use in clinical settings. Phase I/II First-In-Human therapeutic trial with 177Lu-BetaBart in multiple tumor types in the US, is expected for mid-2025 This collaboration brings together RAD's world-class platform of radiotherapeutic products and AtomVie's leading in manufacturing and distributing radiopharmaceuticals globally. 177Lu-BetaBart is part of a broader pipeline of distinct, highly differentiated technologies developed by RAD and RV. These span peptides, small molecules, and monoclonal antibodies for use in cancer, sourced from top-tier universities and institutes globally. The pipeline is designed with the strong potential to be either first-to-market or best-in-class. AtomVie's extensive expertise in clinical development, including technology transfer, process and method development, clinical supply and global distribution, provides a reliable foundation for advancing 177Lu-BetaBart from the clinic towards commercialization. With its new state-of-the-art, scalable 72,300 sq ft facility, set to open in early 2025, AtomVie is the partner of choice to support the growing global pipeline of radiotherapeutics.
