On April 21, 2026 Aktis Oncology, Inc. (NASDAQ:AKTS) (the "Company"), a clinical-stage oncology company focused on expanding the breakthrough potential of targeted radiopharmaceuticals to large populations, including those not addressed by existing platform technologies, reported that clinical imaging and dosimetry data of AKY-2519 in patients with various B7-H3 expressing solid tumors will be presented in two poster presentations at the 2026 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) (Free ASCO Whitepaper) Annual Meeting, being held May 29 – June 2, 2026, in Chicago.

AKY-2519 is a miniprotein radioconjugate targeting B7-H3, which is expressed in several solid tumors, including prostate and lung cancers. In March 2026, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cleared Investigational New Drug (IND) applications for Aktis to proceed to a Phase 1b clinical trial with AKY-25191. AKY-2519 is the second clinical-stage miniprotein radioconjugate discovered using Aktis’ proprietary platform. The Company’s lead miniprotein radioconjugate, AKY-1189, targeting Nectin-4, is currently enrolling patients in a Phase 1b clinical trial. Aktis’ miniprotein radioconjugates are designed to selectively deliver actinium-225 (225Ac), a highly potent alpha-emitting radioisotope, to target-expressing tumors.
Details of the ASCO (Free ASCO Whitepaper) presentations on AKY-2519 are as follows:
Presentation Title: AKY-2519, a novel B7-H3–targeted radioconjugate, and its biodistribution profile in patients with mCRPC*

About Aktis’ miniprotein radioconjugate platform
Aktis has developed a proprietary, isotope-agnostic miniprotein radioconjugate platform to selectively deliver the tumor-killing properties of radioisotopes to targeted tumors. Aktis’ therapeutic miniprotein radioconjugates are designed to maximize anti-cancer activity through high tumor penetration coupled with internalization and retention in cancer cells, while rapidly clearing from normal organs and tissues. The Aktis platform further enables clinicians to visualize and verify target engagement with imaging isotopes prior to exposure to therapeutic radioisotopes. Leveraging this platform, and its patient-first end-to-end supply chain, Aktis is advancing a pipeline of next-generation targeted radiopharmaceuticals to address the unmet needs of patients across a broad spectrum of solid tumors.
