The abstract, entitled "Updated Results of Feasibility, Safety, and Tumor Control in Two First-In-Human Trials of a Novel Alpha-Emitting Radionuclide for Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma," has been selected for podium presentation in the Pancreatic Cancer I: Diagnosis and Treatment session on Saturday, May 2, 2026 at 10:30am (Central). The presentation will be led by study Principal Investigator Dr. Harold Jacob, Director of Advanced Gastrointestinal Endoscopy at Hadassah University Medical Center, and is based on combined data from two clinical protocols conducted at Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem, Israel.
"The acceptance of this abstract for an oral presentation at DDW is an important milestone for Alpha Tau" stated Uzi Sofer, CEO of Alpha Tau, "It reflects the growing recognition of the potential of our technology to address this devastating disease. With the vast majority of pancreatic cancer patients deemed inoperable at diagnosis, Alpha DaRT seeks to offer a truly novel approach for both locally advanced and metastatic patients, and we look forward to sharing these data at DDW."
Dr. Harold Jacob, commented, "I am gratified that our work has been selected for an oral presentation at DDW. As the first clinical data of Alpha DaRT in pancreatic cancer to be presented at a major gastroenterology forum, this acceptance highlights the importance and potential of this technology. Alpha DaRT is designed to be uniquely suited for delivery by gastroenterologists via EUS, hopefully positioning our specialty at the forefront of a new era in pancreatic cancer therapy.
Dr. Robert Den, Chief Medical Officer of Alpha Tau, commented, "The selection of this abstract for an oral presentation at DDW is a testament to the scientific rigor and clinical significance of the work conducted at Hadassah, and of course to Alpha Tau’s excellent investigational technology. These foundational studies have been instrumental in informing our clinical development program, including the IMPACT pilot study now actively enrolling in the U.S., as well as our ongoing work toward a future pivotal study. The full data will be presented at DDW in May."
