- Indication:
- Prostate cancer
Announcement
Alpha Tau Medical Ltd. announced that the FDA has approved an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) application to initiate a pilot study for the treatment of patients with recurrent glioblastoma (GBM) using the Alpha DaRT technology.
AI Summary
Alpha Tau Medical Ltd. announced that the FDA has approved an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) for a pilot study using its Alpha DaRT technology to treat patients with recurrent glioblastoma, an aggressive type of brain cancer. This new approach is aimed at patients whose tumors are not suitable for surgery and who have already received central nervous system radiation. The IDE approval enables the clinical trial to enroll up to ten U.S. patients and will focus on assessing the feasibility and safety of implanting the Alpha DaRT sources directly into the tumor.
The Alpha DaRT method works by delivering radium-224 inside the tumor, allowing its decay to release high-energy alpha particles that target cancer cells while sparing healthy tissue. This pilot study marks an important step toward offering a new treatment option for patients facing the poor survival outcomes associated with recurrent glioblastoma.

- Indication:
- Prostate cancer
Announcement
Alpha Tau Medical Ltd announced an approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) supplement to the IDE previously announced on Jan 27, 2025, which had approved a clinical study examining the combination of Alpha DaRT and first-line chemotherapy in 12 patients with newly diagnosed metastatic pancreatic cancer, allowing expansion of the clinical trial to a broader group of pancreatic cancer patients.
AI Summary
Alpha Tau Medical Ltd recently announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) supplement. This supplement allows the company to expand its clinical trial for treating pancreatic cancer by combining its alpha-radiation therapy, Alpha DaRT®, with first-line chemotherapy. Originally, the clinical study focused on 12 patients with newly diagnosed metastatic pancreatic cancer. With the new FDA approval, the trial will now include an additional cohort of patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer. Each cohort will be increased to 15 patients, resulting in a total of 30 patients across up to 10 U.S. clinical trial sites. This expansion brings Alpha Tau one step closer to studying the potential benefits of its innovative treatment across a broader range of pancreatic cancer patients.

Announcement
Alpha Tau Medical Ltd. announced that its first patient with recurrent lung cancer has been treated, in a clinical trial at Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem, Israel.
AI Summary
Alpha Tau Medical Ltd. announced a major breakthrough in lung cancer treatment. The company treated its first patient with recurrent lung cancer as part of a clinical trial at Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem, Israel. This trial focuses on patients with recurrent tumors in the mediastinum, the area between the lungs. It aims to evaluate the safety and feasibility of using Alpha Tau’s innovative alpha-radiation therapy, Alpha DaRT®, delivered via an endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) procedure. The study will monitor successful placement of the radioactive sources, track any treatment-related adverse events, and assess tumor response over time. This approach combines precision targeted therapy that may reduce damage to surrounding healthy tissues. Researchers are hopeful that this new method could offer a promising treatment option for lung cancer patients with limited alternatives, paving the way for further exploration of alpha-radiation therapies in challenging cancer cases.

Announcement
Alpha Tau Medical Ltd. announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) application to initiate a multi-center study for the treatment of recurrent cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma (cSCC) in immunocompromised patients using the Alpha DaRT.
AI Summary
Alpha Tau Medical Ltd. has announced that the FDA has approved an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) application for a new multi-center study. This study will investigate the use of their innovative Alpha DaRT treatment for recurrent cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma (cSCC) in immunocompromised patients. Led by the Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University, the trial plans to enroll up to 28 patients across eight U.S. institutions. The study will focus on patients who have recurrent cSCC and weakened immune systems due to conditions other than diabetes.
The primary goal is to evaluate the treatment’s effectiveness by measuring the objective response rate, while also observing progression-free survival, overall survival, and local tumor control over twelve months. This initiative aims to provide a new treatment option for a vulnerable patient group with limited alternatives.
